* RealismInducedHorror: One of the reasons why ''Pokemon Black'' is an effective creepypasta is because it's very mundane. It's just the narrator describing a bootleg game that is unsettling but otherwise completely normal. It's not a game that is haunted, cursed, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou breaks the fourth wall]], [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame kills its player]], or anything fantastic like other cliche video game creepypastas that try too hard to be scary; it's just a "regular" bootleg game that sounds like a potentially realistic ROM hack. Because of that, it's easy for the reader to lift their willing suspension of disbelief and believe the notion that this creepy game could be real. The fact that a real ROM hack based on the story has been made only amplifies this effect.
