History NightmareFuel / PokemonXAndY

''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'' have some pretty scary stuff...

-->'''Grunt #4''': "I can't let you go beyond this point! [[GoryDiscretionShot A kid like you shouldn't be exposed to such sights.]]'''

* Route 14. Most of it is a swampy route/spooky forest with tombstones scattered all over the place. Then there's the haunted house and the story the old man tells you. Thankfully, there are some Pokémon Rangers to keep you company and Shauna's reaction to the story helps lighten things up. It's also NightmareRetardant because of its playground.

*** His plan is extremely disturbing, especially when you see him before the main events--even when acting like a well-intentioned man, he cannot conceal his utter disdain and revulsion for "filth". When one looks at his plan, his "World of Silence" and "Eternal Beauty", it becomes clear what sort of villain he truly is. He corresponds very strongly to a [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei LAW Villain]]--believing a massive amount of humanity is not worthy and deserves destruction for their sin, while selecting Chosen Ones to survive and create a new world.
** Lysandre's fate in ''X''. Both ''X'' and ''Y'' end with his underground laboratory collapsing on top of him, but it's implied in the former that he used Xerneas' power to give himself immortality just before that happened, so he may now BuriedAlive under the rubble [[AndIMustScream for all eternity...]]
* The infamous "Lumiose ghost girl". On the north side of Lumiose City, there is a three-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 you step out of the elevator, the lights go nuts, you're unable to move, and a ghostly woman {{Ghostly Glide}}s around you before stating that "You're not the one." and leaves. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment This event is totally unexplained in game]].

** Taking into account their demeanour and somewhat mature-looking faces, it's possible that at least some of them are little people rather than children. And that they're intentionally affecting an exaggerated childish facade for...whatever reason motivates them. They come off more than a little disturbed as a result.

** The Fairy Tale Girl also do not have normal human eyes. They lack any pupils, and their eyes are constantly glistening, even seeming to have heart-shaped designs. They share this trait with Valerie, the only character who seems to share their strange tendencies...

*** It's been confirmed by Hex Maniacs and Fairy Tale Girls, though, that it's really just an act, and very likely all trainer classes in all games such as psychics are all just playing the role of that trainer class; it's still possible that some of the Fairy Tale Girls have some kind of mental problem, but for most they're just playing their chosen role.

** Unless you realize that [[NothingIsScarier the playground itself is empty]].

** As a cross-game Nightmare Fuel, ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' has one of the Hex Maniacs in Mt. Pyre mutter the very same thing once you defeat her.

* The Dishes in the Lumiose City restaurants might as well as go over ForeignQueasine into MasochistsMeal. Dishes made out of ''Slowpoke Tail'' are served normally even if that's what past games constantly tell you is illegal. However, what seems to be worse is that there's a soup made out of 3000 year rare bone and last be not least, '''''cheese made out of female Arbok poison'''''. You might seriously wonder how can the people even eat those things and ''not die''.
