The original Japanese release of Pokémon came with this sinister score underpinning every time you wander through the purple-dossed land of Lavender Town - although it came with reports of children spent significant time with the game (and more so in this town) developing great illness and occasionally committing suicide. Subsequent releases outside the region saw the tune be switched out for something more palatable (and less 'dying cat climbing a chalkboard'-sounding) but 'Lavender Town Syndrome' as it's become known as still makes for a bone-chilling tale, especially at certain times of the year - and if any siblings are just getting into the series.
