History NightmareFuel / PokemonXAndY

* Fridge horror here, but in Black and White, they introduced a Pokemon called Hydreigon. Hydreigon is known to be [[OmnicidalManiac fairly destructive.]] It apparently [[BigEater eats anything.]] Now where can you find Hydreigons? In the wild. From above Victory Road. Now this isn't too big of a problem for you; you're the hero, you got Pokémon to protect you, all at a fairly high level. But where is Victory Road located? In between Route 21 and 22. Route 22 is literally right next to the first Gym's town, and has a bunch of toddlers playing in it. [[AdultFear Who's to say that a Hyreigon has never decided to attack lower from Victory Road?]]

NightmareFuel in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''

* A glitch has been discovered that if you save in the outskirts of Lumiose (Saving inside buildings doesn't seem to trigger it), it could permanently freeze your game and you'll have to restart. All your hard work and fun could go to waste just because one time you saved in the wrong part of the wrong city. Fortunately, Nintendo has released a patch to fix the glitch, meaning it's gone for good.

*** The fact that [[spoiler:Lysandre is the first Team Boss to canonically ''die''. (At least in ''Y''. His final fate in ''X'' is [[BuriedAlive far]] [[AndIMustScream worse]])]]
**** To clarify, in ''X'' after [[spoiler: the player defeats Lysandre, he decides to set off the weapon anyway in a TakingYouWithMe moment, despite the weapon not having enough power]] to do what he wanted. The FiveManBand manage to escape, but [[spoiler: Lysandre and a large percentage of Team Flare never make it out and are implied to have been buried under the rubble]]. What makes this even ''worse'' is that post-game Sycamore suggests to the player that they may have [[spoiler: become immortal--meaning that Lysandre will be trapped there]] ''for all eternity.''
*** Though think about it, [[spoiler: can't really be for all eternity because over time, the weather and such will wear down the rocks, or perhaps some far far future archaeologists will dig the site up. Regardless, what makes this very very scary, is if Lysandre DOES escape. Either he'll have had time to reflect being under all that rubble and become an enlightened being of peace, OR he'll turn into an even bigger (completely feral) psychopath with no rationality and will kill everything he sees and there is nothing anyone can do to stop him since he is unkillable]]

* The protagonist competes in Restaurant battles in Lumiose City. In Restaurant Le Wow (the Three Star restaurant) the owner serves you as the Champion before the battles. [[spoiler: After the second battle, the intensity was so much for him, ''he has a '''HEART ATTACK!''' '' He doesn't die, but ''still.'' ]]
** That's made worse, actually. [[spoiler: The heart attack was not fatal, since he serves you again the next time you battle... but he has another heart attack. Every time you battle him, you give him a heart attack.]]
* On the north side of Lumiose City there is a 3 floor building with little kids playing on the first floor and a dojo man from Kanto on the third. The second floor however, as soon as your step out of the elevator the lights go nuts, you're unable to move and a ghostly woman just slowly moves around you before stating that "You're not the one." and leaves. This event is totally unexplained in game and leaves the question who is the one and what would have happened if you were the one?

** There's no implication that they're the same person, given the 'ghost' uses the Hex Girl character model. For all you know the girl in Richissime Hotel just really digs elevators.
** It gets even worse. If you go into Luminose Station and check behind the billboard at the top left you'll find a note. It reads: "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place." The implication being that the one the ghost was waiting for left on the train, [[BusCrash died]], and left her alone to wait for them... forever. But this begs the question ''what did they need help with so badly that they needed to leave for outside assistance?!''

* From the post-game Looker subplot: When we meet [[spoiler: "Essentia"]] for the first time. It gets worse when we find out who she really is and why she's stealing Pokemon.
** [[spoiler: When Essentia attacks Mimi the Espurr.]] The screen cuts to black, we hear [[spoiler: Mimi]] cry out, and then there's that gut-wrenching ''squelch.'' [[spoiler: It turns out that Looker took the hit instead, and he wasn't too badly hurt, but given that the Looker plot so far had been [[DarkerAndEdgier very explicit about death]], it was easy to immediately fear the worst.]]
** Although he's okay, the fact that Looker [[spoiler: tries to pass off the gut-punch as bad enough to require a hospital stay, and Emma is convinced]], is kind of creepy. Emma must have been worried sick, plus [[spoiler: she wasn't even aware that it was actually her fault]].
** [[spoiler: Watching Emma ''screaming in pain'' when the suit malfunctions near the end of the subplot. No one should have to go through something like that.]]

*** Just imagine walking through a dark spooky forest, you hear rustling. Something is following you. It's a living walking tree (Or half a dozen of them) which immediately grabs you or bites you (However it works) trapping you within the forest for all eternity. Remember in Mortal Kombat 2 the very very creepy forest of living trees, thinking back, you would probably rather be lost in there. At least in those games, all they do is growl.

* Café Kizua is a place for people who are ''very'' friendly with their Pokémon. A woman there thinks that the ideal way to be friendly with them is for the trainers to live in PokéBalls as well. (Yes, she's eccentric, and this is a mild case, but she's clearly not a fan of the PokéStar movies of ''Black 2'' and ''White 2''; at least two of those movies had scenarios like that, and they were ''serious'' Nightmare Fuel potential.)

** Unless you realize that [[NothingIsScarier the playground itself is empty]]. Even worse, there's a [[spoiler:Rare Candy]] hidden behind the jungle gym. That sort of thing lying on the ground in a dark, empty playground? [[AdultFears Kind of disturbing...]]

* Route 14. Most of it is a swampy route/spooky forest with tombstones scattered all over the place. Then there's the hanuted house and the story the old man tells you. Thankfully there are some Pokemon Rangers to keep you company and Shauna's reaction to the story help lighten things up. It's also NightmareRetardant because of its playground.
* How about the first time you encounter [[spoiler: AZ]]? You're all set to get into North Lumiose and there's this freakishly gigantic...man?...blocking your way. And for a while that's completely unexplained.

*** Or, maybe "the usual place" was the office building, and she went there expecting to find someone - not you - and she was murdered on the way, possibly whoever she needed help ''from''. The three events may be clues pointing to something dangerous that is key in a future sequel or a download.

* The wild encounters on Route 13. Tufts of dirt follow you around, and appear to slow you down if you are near them. Pokemon in those tufts tend to have abilities like Arena Trap.

* Route 14. Its a swampy route/spooky forest with tombstones scattered all over the place. Then there's the hanuted house and the story the old man tells you. Thankfully there are some Pokemon Rangers to keep you company and Shauna's reaction to the story help lighten things up.
