Any Pokémon who attempts to fight ghosts without the trainer having a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move" and hence will be unable to attack or do anything else except run. However, the [[Silph Scope]] will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in battle. | ||

Lavender Town is very consistent in the way of layout, a [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of the town, the [[Pokémon Tower]] on the eastern side of town, the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, the [[Name Rater]] and other residential house on the southern side, and the [[Poké Mart]] located on the south-eastern side. The Pokémon Tower in Generation I is cave-like on the outside with the Tower covered by rocks and mountain, however, this isn't the case in Generation III and the building is a complete tower. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, the cement road has been changed to a gravel path, flowers are more visible and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. | Lavender Town is very consistent in the way of layout, with a [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of the town, the [[Pokémon Tower]] on the eastern side of town, the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, the [[Name Rater]] and other residential house on the southern side, and the [[Poké Mart]] located on the south-eastern side.

* The background music in the [[Generation I]] games contains high-pitched sounds that are outside the typical adult hearing range, but inside the typical child hearing range. This has inspired all kinds of popular myths and conspiracy theories about the effects of the music. Contrary to popular belief, the song was not altered between releases in Generation I.<!--Do not add any specific Lavender Town creepypastas or conspiracy theories.--> | * The background music in the [[Generation I]] games contains high-pitched sounds that are outside the typical adult hearing range, but inside the typical child hearing range.{{fact}} This has inspired all kinds of popular myths and conspiracy theories about the effects of the music.

Due to an oddity, if the player then tries to immediately turn around and leave without moving from the tile, they will be unable to (even after saving and resetting the game). Walking at least one tile in any direction will restore the normal behavior of the mat's tile. | ||
