Alright so...this page

Yeaaaah that's not it, i'll go over what i wanna remove from this profile cause a lot of this stuff just does not make sense to be on there

The Game is not Haunted

Ok so get ready this will be...well about everything that is wrong with this profile really.

so a lot of the profile assume that Ghost has power of the reality of the game when...quite literally nothing proves that, as the game itself is not meant to be haunted. The very ending of this creepypasta actively states so here

"I’m not sure what the motives were behind the creator of this hack. It wasn’t widely distributed, so it was presumably not for monetary gain. It was very well done for a bootleg."

Boom, there, quite literally just a hacked game of Pokémon Red, so any of the "supernatural" that happens is just use for story purposes.

With this out of the way, let's get to removing stuff.

Removal

Sound Manipulation: Standard Creepypasta Pokémon game uses Lavender Town music. Not an ability just used to make the experience darker for story purposes.

Data Manipulation: We already went over why this doesn't make sense since the game itself is not haunted. Also the save file deleting itself is for story purposes as Red actively dies at the end of the game, hence why you can't continue.

Time Manipulation: This one, even if the game was haunted is just flat out wrong because the creepypasta itself outright says that it's a time skip, not Ghost somehow advancing time

Possession: Again, we already went over why the game is actively not haunted.

So yeah a good chuck of the stuff would be getting removed as you can see.

Reworking Intelligence

Ghost never tricks the author into anything (not that it even could sense it actively is not alive) nor does it trick Red from a gameplay standpoint either. Hell the story itself points to the fact that you aren't forced to use Ghost

"I played through this hacked game many, many times, and every time the game ended with this sequence. Several times I didn’t use Ghost at all, though he was impossible to remove from the party. In these cases, it did not show any Pokémon or trainers and simply cut to the climactic battle with Ghost."

So yeah, uh, not above average in anyway shape or form.

Just like it's other stats we'll slap a good ol "Unknown" onto that as it actively does not show much intelligence, beyond using the move Curse by itself at the end of the game to kill red.

Adding Weakness

Not sure why it wasn't already on the profile but, a huge weakness of the move Curse in the story is that it can't affect Ghost-Type, likely because they are already dead

"The move “Curse” was not usable in all instances. It would fail against Ghost Pokémon"

So yeah, quite the glaring Weakness that should be noted

Conclusion

-Remove Sound, Data, and Time Manipulation alongside Possession

-Intelligence becomes Unknown

-Add that weakness

Agreed: 1 (Rayfire)

Disagree: 0
