Lavender Town Syndrome was a story created to scare people. According to the story, the Lavender Town music had a tone in the original Japanese first edition of Pokemon Red that caused children to go completely mad, either killing themselves or attempting to hurt themselves in some way. This story has spread like wildfire over the web, causing many to try this legend and posting their fictional results online to enhance the story.

In truth, the tone is subtle and may just get irritating to listen to at best. It may give you or your parents a headache, but that's only because of the repetitiveness of the song and it's screechy tone.

the answer above is correct. I am 11 and i used to play pokemon red when i was 10. I got a headache for about 2 days after i heard the syndrome. Creppy but i still sometimes here the tune in my head when in complete silence.

Is the Lavender Town Syndrome real?

No, Lavender Town Syndrome is not real. It is just an urban legend. The legend goes that the pitch of the original Lavender Town theme song causes headaches, mental disturbance, and suicide in children. This is a sample of the urban legend: Lavender Town Syndrome (LTS) is in fact an actual psychological effect caused layered tones within the Lavender Town theme of the first version of Red and Green that was released in Japan. The theme was dithered slightly for the American release. The multi-tonal sounds from the Lavender Town theme, is actually two layered MIDI sequence tracks. One for the left and the right ear. The tones in the song alternate through sub-sonic, sonic, and super-sonic frequencies. People of different age groups can hear them. Most commonly only those ages 7-12 are affected by the syndrome. It can cause migraine like headaches in children. Which by the way would be difficult for them to handle. Making them stumble, bang their head etc... but because they are children, they kept playing the game. Effectually, it led to 4 deaths in children wearing headphones for an extended period of time (Hours). These deaths were caused by brain swelling, a heart attack, and two pain induced suicides. Quick action by Nintendo Corp. and Game Freak got the product recalled within hours of the news. They dithered the track making it single toned. The problems caused by an unexpected physiological effect have not occurred since. Although it is true that the theme song was changed between the Japanese and American release, it was not because of mental disturbance or headaches, and no one can get sick or die because of hearing music in a Pokemon game.
