Pokémon Black is a Pokémon creepypasta about, naturally, a weird bootleg game in the series.The protagonist is an enthusiast of Pokémon bootleg games and ROM hacks. However, they've brought one game that they've been unable to find info online about: a Pokémon Red and Blue hack called Pokémon Black. The protagonist doesn't actually own a copy of the game anymore, but they do remember it thoroughly. The creepypasta consists of their memories of the game.The story goes that alongside the usual starter, the storyteller got a "ghost" Pokémon that they could never switch out of their party. No opponents were capable of attacking it, and its only move, a bizarre variant of "Curse", was almost always a One-Hit KO. If they fought a trainer, each curse caused the ball containing the opponent's mon to disappear from their roster. Once they lost all their Pokémon, they could curse the trainer directly; killing them and replacing their overworld sprite with an Instant Gravestone. After beating the Elite Four, the player got a Flash Forward to their character as an old man, recalling every Pokémon and trainer they cursed, at which point their ghost finally turns on them and subjects the player to a Hopeless Boss Fight. When their HP hit a critically low level, it cursed them and the screen turned to black and did not change. Upon resetting the game, the protagonist discovers that their save file was erased.The story predates the official Pokemon Black, so to avoid confusion, it has since been referred to as Pokémon Creepy Black. You can read the story here or listen to someone read it here.Many years after the story was made, a fan made a ROM Hack that recreates the game as described in the story. One can download the patch for it here. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Pokémon Black (Fanfic) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: No matter how many Pokémon and humans Red kills with Ghost's Curse (or even if he kills no one at all), the Playable Epilogue is always the same. Many years after entering the Hall of Fame, he wanders through Kanto as an old man, finding that every other living thing has disappeared — every wild Pokémon, every NPC, and even his own Pokémon. As he returns to Pallet Town and enters his childhood home, he is confronted by a montage of every Pokémon and human he killed before being confronted by Ghost itself. He can do nothing but Struggle against it until he runs out of HP and dies. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity | |
| Pokémon Black (Fanfic) / int_5bb56482 | comment |
Contractual Boss Immunity: It’s mentioned that Ghost Pokémon are immune to the Curse move. In the ROM hack, Curse will fail when used against the ghosts in Pokémon Tower before acquiring the Silph Scope, though this detail is not incorporated for Pokémon that are Ghost-type. | |

| Pokémon Black (Fanfic) / int_80f38afe | comment |
Background Music Override: In the final segment, the Lavender Town music plays constantly, no matter where the player goes. During the montage of all the Pokémon and Trainers the player killed, the song gradually decreases in pitch until it's little more than a "demonic rumble". | |

Promoted to Playable: Ghost becomes a playable Pokémon that is automatically given at the beginning of the game. It's not specified if it has a Pokédex entry, though. The ROM hack doesn't give it one. | |

Developer's Foresight: The Curse move cannot be used on trainers that have to be challenged again, such as the Rival or Giovanni, except in the final battles against them. As the player has no Pokémon to use HMs with during the epilogue, the cuttable bush by Viridian Forest's exit is removed, allowing the player to return to Pallet Town. | |
