Pokémon Creepy Black is a legendary internet creepypasta involving a hacked version of Pokémon Red that features a monochromatic sprite known as 'Ghost.' In this eerie story, the player is given a creature that can instantly kill opponents using the move 'Curse,' leading to a chilling ending where the player character faces their own mortality. As a meme, it is used to represent feelings of impending doom, the dark side of nostalgia, or the 'cursed' nature of specific hardware and software. It remains one of the most iconic pieces of lost media folklore within the gaming community, often used to prank or unsettle fans of the original series.
