Pokemon Go is quickly taking over the world, captivating kids and adults alike by collecting cute pocket monsters like Pikachu. While these rabid fans are frolicking, they are unaware of the dark side that lies beneath the game's cheerful appearance. If this is news to you, sit back and discover these ten twisted secrets of Nintendo's popular creation,

1. THE SUICIDE SONG IN POKEMON'S LAVENDER TOWN

The so-called myth of Pokemon's Lavender City first appeared a few years ago and has been popping up on the internet from time to time ever since. For those who don't know the story, the scary accusations started after the release of Pokemon Red and Green. Shortly after that release, a number of child suicides were reported in Japan. For a game with Pikachu as its mascot, this grim news is even worse.

The cause of these suicides is said to be the song that is played every time a player visits Lavender Town. Rumor has it that the programmers of the Red and Green versions created the Lavender Town song with a special code. A code that would make children commit suicide by using harmful frequencies. Looks like Pikachu is not so cute anymore.

2. POKEMON RESPONSIBLE FOR AN EPILEPTIC FIT

While number 1 on our list is just a myth, this one is sure to shock you harder than Pikachu in the rain. According to reports from 1997, an episode of the Pokemon anime featured a unique scene that caused hundreds of children to have epileptic seizures. After watching the episode, the children vomited blood and passed out.

According to the New York Times, the scene used a technique called "Paka-Paka." This popular Japanese technique uses colored lights that flash alternately, causing a sense of tesnsion. As a result, this climactic event triggered the children's epileptic seizures. If such a thing can happen in real life, these other dark secrets are possible.

3. POKEMON AND PIKACHU ARE SYMBOLS OF SATAN

To say that Pokemon and Pikachu are aimed at Satanism is not the ramblings of a conservative Southern Christian. These words came directly from the mouth of Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri. In a rare interview, Tajiri admitted that the game represents an attack on his Christian parents. In addition, he stated that the game inspires Satanism. The next time you see that adorable Pikachu evolving into Raichu, remember that the creator had Satan in mind.

4. DEMONIC PIKACHU SCARES POKEMON FANS

This video of a demonic Pikachu may be inspired by the dark secret number three. Here, in the video, we see the demon Pokemon murder Ash's family in cold blood. There's violence, there's death, and there's family tragedy. This is not the Pokemon we grew up with. The happy music and fun life lessons are gone. So this is the Pikachu of reality and it wants to kill us all.

5. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF POKEMON CREATOR. PIKACHU TO BLAME?

After seeing the video of the evil Pikachu from black secret number 4, this next secret may not seem so mysterious. In March 2016, the creative design director of Pokemon died at the age of 42. Eric Medalle was killed in Seattle when high winds blew a tree onto his car, ending his life in the process. Medalle's young daughter, who was also in the car, escaped with minor injuries. Did Pokemon's top brass kill him? After all, we're also talking about a company that may have caused children to commit suicide and have intense seizures. Sure, we can blame the bad Seattle weather, but that's just what an evil Pikachu would want us all to think.

Medalle was heavily involved in several versions of the video game and helped design the art and logo for the trading cards. Therefore, for someone who had a lot of creative control over the franchise, it's understandable that his work would be sought after. Just something to think about.

6. A CRAZY CHILD LOSES HIS HEAD FOR A POKEMON CARD

Watch this video. Tell me that's a healthy reaction to a tiny Pokemon card. It's not like the boy won $70 million or even found a real Pikachu in his house. No, he found a card. A simple, fragile piece of thick paper. He may look happy on the outside, but on the inside he's troubled. This boy is a lunatic. He's not alone either.

Kids all over the world have similar reactions to Pokemon and it's unhealthy. Pikachu is the closest thing to God that these kids have and it can ruin society. No one should lose their mind over something so trivial. But as you can see, this is not the case. Where will it end? Will this trend ever die out? With reactions like this, most likely not.

7. MAN DIES TRYING TO CATCH PIKACHU

So far, Pokemon Go has only been released in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, but it's growing at an incredible rate. Companies have been praising the game due to the massive influx of people on the street. While there is some positivity in this statement, a darker side effect is emerging. People walking around with their heads in their iPhones looking for Pikachu are putting themselves in danger.

The footage from a train's rear view camera clearly shows a man wearing an Ash Ketchum hat leaning into the oncoming train. Whether you play the game or not, this video shows a realistic scenario of what could happen. Be careful. Pikachu is not worth dying for.

8. POKEMON GO CAUSES CAR ACCIDENTS EVERYWHERE

In dark secret number 7, we just warned you about the dangers of Pokemon Go. Well, you didn't listen. Just days after its release, the popular game has caused car accidents everywhere. Explosive Twitter feeds show outrageous examples of people starting to use their phones while driving and single-handedly causing traffic accidents. One brave man had the nerve to back up his car at a red light just to catch an Eevee. You're witnessing it here, folks. Augmented reality is going to kill us all. The last face you see may be a Pikachu. Terrifying, isn't it?

9. THE CHURCH HATES PIKACHU

First of all, the creator of Pokemon has already admitted that he created the game to act against his Christian parents, but religious leaders have a long list of problems on top of that. Moreover, according to a rambling preacher, Pikachu and others like it are demonic spirits and reclusive monsters. Moreover, they hide behind feel-good messages while tempting the minds of young Christians, turning them to the devil. Satoshi Tajiri may have been a bit angsty as a teenager, but it is unlikely that he wanted to create a Satanic religion. Whether this is true or not, a dark light has been cast on the game and it is hard to ignore.

10. ARMED ROBBERS LURE YOU WITH PIKACHU

For fans of the anime series, you may remember Team Rocket. Team Rocket is a group of thieves who try to catch Pikachu at every opportunity and trap his owner, Ash. Apparently, some real-life thieves were inspired by Team Rocket. Using the new Pokemon Go game, thieves have been luring victims to remote areas of Missouri. Team Rocket wants your Pikachu while these armed robbers want something different. The only difference between these guys and Team Rocket is that they don't want your Squirtle. Using the geolocation feature, the thieves anticipate the location of the stupid victims and steal their hard earned money.

For fans of the game, it's important to stay vigilant. Charmander is everywhere and it's not worth getting hurt. Stay alert and don't fall victim to the dangers of Pokemon Go. This conversation is ridiculous but unfortunately, we have to have it.
