A keen-eyed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player may have spotted the most recent appearance of one of the series' biggest urban legends: the ghost girl. Although Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was released in late 2022, players still seem to be making some odd discoveries in this pair of games.
While there have been scary Ghost-type Pokemon since the series' beginning, the ghost girl (or girls, assuming they're not all the same person) also has a long history in thePokemon series. Probably their most prominent and widely discussed appearance came from the sixth-generation games Pokemon X and Y, where a girl appeared behind the player after they stepped out of an elevator in Lumiose City, remarked «No, you're not the one,» and floated off the screen. But the ghost girl legend actually traces its roots all the way back to the fourth generation of games, where in an upper room in the Abandoned Chateau, there is a painting of someone with red eyes that seem to follow the player wherever they go.
This new discovery seems to be much more in line with the fourth-generation games, as it too centers around a painting of a girl and her off-putting eyes. A gameplay video posted on Reddit by user Ckmarv shows a painting of a girl in the Dark Theme version of the Blueberry Academy League Club Room in The Indigo Disk DLC. The girl in the painting is holding a Banette, a Ghost-type Pokemon, and when the player zooms the camera in on her face, she clearly blinks her eyes twice. This could be a nod to the ghost girl, or it could be a completely unrelated Easter egg, but it's creepy nevertheless.
The examples listed above don't make up all the appearances of the ghost girl across the years. In addition to those appearances, she has also popped up in Pokemon Black and White, where she sometimes appears next to a man near the Marvelous Bridge but fades from view as the player approaches, and again in Pokemon Black and White 2 in the Strange House near the same bridge. The girl appears again in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire just as the player is about to battle Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite Four. Finally, Pokemon Sword and Shield includes a ghost girl named Paula, who appears to be alive and asks the player to deliver a love letter to a boy, but the recipient turns out to be an old man who remarks that Paula was a childhood friend who got sick.
Many of these incidents are never explained or expanded upon in their respective games, just adding more creepy discoveries to the Pokemon franchise. As for this most recent find, Pokemon fans responding to the post seem pretty convinced that this is indeed another ghost girl sighting, with only one commenter skeptical that the painting's blinking may have been a texture error.

Following the recent 1.6 Update, a new piece of fishy furniture can now be added to the aquarium that's no doubt a cheeky nod to the most iconic sea sponge of all time.
Now this is the kind of crazy gaming scheme that we can get behind.

Indeed, this is a bot with a singular purpose: to mash just one button and see how far it can climb through the game's online rankings.

A Pokemon player has successfully managed to transfer the rare Mew from Space World 1997 into the modern-day Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. The Pokemonuniverse contains many rare and legendary creatures, and the powerful Psychic feline Mew may very well be one of the most elusive of all. Despite playing a major role in the lore of the original Pokemon Red and Blue games, Mew could not be encountered or captured in the base game without glitches or datamining. This would be the case for every mainline Pokemon game until Generation 4’s Diamond and Pearl, which allowed players to import it from the Wii My Pokemon Ranch spin-off.
