"Beneath the fun collect-a-thon exterior lives a terrifying reality in the world of Pokémon. The games rarely touch on it, but hidden within short bursts of text within the Pokédex live haunting tales of death, reincarnation, kidnapping, and worse. Pokédex entries differ from game to game for many of the same Pokémon. Something in the Scarlet Pokédex may be completely different than the ones in the classic games. Either way, there is some horrific stuff packed in there."
"Pokédex entries differ from game to game for many of the same Pokémon. Something in the Scarlet Pokédex may be completely different than the ones in the classic games. Either way, there is some horrific stuff packed in there. We've combed through hundreds of entries across the series, from classic Red and Blue to the latest releases, to uncover the pocket monsters you might want to avoid--unless you're looking for a reason to never sleep again."
Short bursts of Pokédex text conceal haunting tales involving death, reincarnation, kidnapping, and other disturbing events that contrast sharply with the franchise’s playful surface. Pokédex entries vary between games, meaning one game’s entry can be drastically different from another for the same Pokémon. These brief descriptions sometimes reveal horrific backstories or implications that the main games rarely address. Hundreds of entries across the series, from classic Red and Blue to recent releases, contain unsettling details that make certain Pokémon feel dangerous or uncanny and may disturb players who read them closely.
