  • One of the most mysterious, unanswered questions in the Pokemon games is "Who is the Ghost Girl"? Throughout some of the games you come across ghost girls who disappear with no explanation. Super creepy when you are just a kid trying to play a game about cute little pocket monsters being forced into unending battles for your entertainment. Anyways, for as much as these ghosts have popped up throughout the game's history, there is little known about the lore. So today, Loyal Theorists, I am about to uncover the mystery of Pokemon's Ghost Girl!

    I actually know why Darkrai made the ghost girl have the nightmare. In the more recent Pokémon Journeys and Master Journeys (I can’t remember which one), it is stated in one episode that Darkrai was not able to control its nightmare powers. So Darkrai did not mean to hurt the ghost girl, but due to incontrollable power, it made her fall into an endless nightmare. Something I would like to point out, in the same episode, it is mentioned that Cresselia exists to stop nightmares that Darkrai accidentally does. It balances the two out. Whe Darkrai accidentally harms someone, Cresselia’s there to stop the nightmare. Both Darkrai and Cresselia coexist.

      This is also mentioned in the DPP manga. A galactic grunt separated from the hivemind is given Darkrai by sird (the secret fifth commander) who he used to share a mind with. He lets it go before we see it due to it causing nightmares. When it's freed from Charon's control, he expresses sympathy for it as it can't go anywhere without causing nightmares.

    Actually more evidence, one of the moves darkrai can learn is called dark void which is a move only accessible by darkrai, further more the moves description is "a move which when used puts the opponent in a never ending sleep" now the interesting part is it also gives darkrai more health from the opposing Pokémon so I'm guessing that darkrai used it by mistake on the little girl when it was angry or a better reason someone tried to catch it as trainers can catch it for a good team.

      We know that Darkrai understands she is no threat so why would it target her, unless she involuntarily posed a threat to all pokemons in existance, as the nightmares it causes can be profetic who is to say it cant see what will happen too and by extention saw her by accident ending their world, by something stupid like soldering a capacitor the wrong way on some high tech machine or what I find more likely she was sick when she encountered Darkrai either a Plague that could harm even Darkrai if it breached the species barrier or she had something like Leukemia where your body attacks you, Darkrai tried to help her by targeting her imune system to save her life but in the end it KO-ed her fully so her father went out to get the cure for the nightmares as she passed on

  • @Ravengirl0814

    I think she was trying to convince her father to forget the Lunar Wing, but “Stay here with me” could be her noticing the Player and wishing they would stay with her, viewing them as a possible friend, and not wanting to lose them as she lost her Parents.

    I have a theory (It's a long one, but it's worth to give a try)-
    This girl is actually Lostelle.
    An NPC appearing in Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green. When we go to the Two Island in Sevii Islands, we figure out, that the daughter of the owner of the Game Corner has been lost and he wants us to find her Lostelle. So, we go to Three Island and enter the Berry Forest and at the end of the forest, we find Lostelle and she says (while crying) "Please help me" and then we find out that she was kidnapped by an Hypno and we fight him, we can either faint it or catch it, and after that battle, we get back to the Two Island and Lostelle returns to her father. Now, there's a very popular creepypasta about Hypno called "Hypno's Lullaby", which is basically based on this incident and Hypno' pokedex entry, which Mat talked about that in this video. So, in this creepypasta, Hypno kidnaps kids and take them into the Berry Forest and keep them away from their family forever and there's even a song made about and you can find it on CZcams, and the worse part about that song is that it has Lavender Town's music in it. So my theory is that Lostelle was the only survivor from all those children that Hypno kidnapped and kept them them in the forest, and because of nightmares that Lostelle still has because of what Hypno did to her, her family shifted to Unova into that Strange House. And maybe those nightmares has something to do with Darkrai tormenting Lostelle. But hey, that's just a theo.... You know what, I can't do this, only Mat can.

This video gave me an appreciation towards stories in games and I now know why Darkrai is my favorite Pokemon. (other than the amazing design) I love what Mat Pat has done with the theory, and how much it's changed my life.

Though Rotom is known for making mischief, it's almost entierly having to deal with Rotoms interactions with electronics.
      It could be theorized that the TV gave Rotom the ability to make projections, but as far as I know, that would be pure speculation and hasn't really been backed up by much, if anything.

    One thing I do wish to correct is that this ghost girl from Black and White is not the first instance of a ghost girl in the pokemon games. He covered Gen 4 diamond and pearl a little bit which also had a ghost girl, the Old Chateau in Eternal forest if you go into a certain room at night you'll see the spirit of a ghost girl appear and float through the wall. You see her a couple more times I believe (it's been a while) throughout the night but that's bout it. She doesn't have a story like this girl. At least one that I can find and I don't know if there were instances of other ghost girls in gens 1-3 before this either. Small detail that doesn't really matter I just wanted to clarify (also to really nitpick for no reason he calls the ability that Drowzee and Hypno have called Forewarn a move that they use rather than an ability.)

    Despite it's type and appearance, Darkrai is gentle. From what I saw in Journeys, it unfortunately can't be near others for long without accidentally putting them into an unending nightmare. That explains why it's close to Cresselia, the only friend it can have that won't suffer from it's immense power. Since Cresselia tends to roam then the least she could do is leave her buddy with some Lunar Wings.

      Bad Dreams is an ability, not a move. Like Flame Body and Insomnia, it's a part of the Pokemon's natural state. Darkrai might have accidentally inflicted these nightmares while moving from one place to another.
      It seems like the ability is only super dangerous when the victim is a child or is actively being attacked by Darkrai while asleep. I don't think the ability is even designed to kill, just to intimidate predators or rivals to go away.
      Edit: The ability is called Bad Dreams, my mistake guys!

Just look at Pokemon:I choose you for evidence for that. They chased Entei even though he was way out of their league. She probably chased Darkrai and during the battle, the ability activated defensively. That, or she just happened to be in the vicinity of Darkrai while he was passing through and got afflicted.

Your sprite is not allowed to move while the events take place. In the first one, you see a butler that then goes towards the kitchen on the left and disappears offscreen. In the second one, a girl is seen at the neighbouring room to the right; she looks at you, then goes out.

    To my understanding, it isn't so much that Darkrai actively uses its nightmare powers as a means of self-defense, although they do certainly end up working in that manner in a roundabout way, but rather that it is a _constant_ force that emits from it, affecting everything in the area around it with the horrible, inescapable nightmares it is unfortunately so well known for. (as potentially indicated by its permanently active Ability Bad Dreams, which always takes effect as soon as a Pokémon falls asleep near it, and begins doing damage to them every turn)
    Darkrai, fully aware of how its presence harms others, actively tries to prevent scenarios like this from happening by staying as far away from other living beings as it can, and as an added countermeasure, it seems that they also try to keep their territory near an area where a Crescelia can be found, since their feathers are the only thing that can save someone once they've succumb to Darkrai's involuntarily active nightmare field. This is potentially alluded to by the only location you can legitimately find Darkrai in the main series games, Newmoon Island, being set up incredibly far from any of the Sinnoh mainland's most populated areas, yet still suspiciously within close proximity to its counterpart, Fullmoon Island, which is both noticeably less barren than its mirrored counterpart that is home to Darkrai, but is where you also just so happen find the Crescelia who gives you the feather needed to save Eldritch's son)
    So if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that Unova's Ghost Girl wasn't trapped in her nightmare with malicious intent, but rather she happened to come within the range of the nightmare field that was being emitted by a Darkrai who happened to find its way to a then-secluded portion of the Unova region, leaving her as yet another unintentional victim to Darkrai's unfortunate circumstances, much like Eldritch's son (who perhaps was simply sailing with his father before succumbing to the nightmare, and happened to fall asleep when they were in too close of a proximity to Newmoon Island during the trip), but this time without the help of a Player Character to venture out and save them like the case of Eldritch and his son…

    I think the whole thing of Darkrai not being malicious and aggressive makes this leagues more tragic. It’d bear a lot lighter sting if Darkrai was malicious and aggressive, willfully going out to try to ail others. But no, it doesn’t try to harm others, which could mean the girl, by will or by coercion, entered Darkrai’s terrain, and it had no other method of driving her out other than inflicting her with nightmares.

    I feel like the dialogue “forget about the lunar wing, stay here with me” could’ve been her talking to her father, but I think it could also have been her nightmare trying to convince her to stay in the bad dream forever by using a familiar voice (her fathers) who she trusts

    If Darkrai is intent on protecting it's territory then it's always possible that a young and naive child could have accidentally wandered into it without realizing the danger.

    I know this is an old video, but it is stated when you catch Darkrai in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum that it hides away on its island to avoid accidentally inflicting nightmares on others, because it isn't always able to control its powers. However, the island is not anchored to one place, it moves around, and sometimes it comes close enough to inflict people, which is what I´m guessing happened in both scenarios

    It may not have anything to do with Darkrai, but two other Dark type Pokemon that I met in Pokemon White and Pokemon White 2. Those Pokemon are Zorua and Zoroark respectively. When I was in Castelia City at the Pokemon Center there was a young boy that wouldn't talk to me through the entire playthrough, however when I showed the boy the Celebi I got through an event the boy transformed into a Zorua and wanted me to catch it so it can be with its friend Celebi. Meanwhile, I was out by the woods when I came across a trailer where I saw a woman turning her back at me but she didn't speak when I talked to her so I left her alone. In Pokemon White 2, when I tried to go back where the woman was she and the trailer were both gone as if they were never there to begin with. It was then that a man came to talk to me and told me about how Zoruark are masters of illusion and that the woman was a Zoruark that cast an illusion in order to make it appear that she was in a trailer. It wasn't until the man turned into a Zoruark right in front of me and ran away.

    Maybe the girl was a trainer and encountered darkrai and tried to catch it but failed and got the nightmares in the wild but her father found her and took her home. She had a drowsy and they had it eat it but failed. It later evolved and it got forewarn and failed again and now she has an eternal slumber and later her parents ended it all because they missed her.
