Delving into the world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, a vigilant player has potentially unearthed the latest iteration of a major urban legend within the series: the enigmatic ghost girl. Despite being launched in late 2022, peculiar findings continue to surface in these two games.

While Ghost-type Pokemon have always been eerie, the ghost girl (or girls, if they are distinct individuals) has a rich history in the Pokemon franchise. One of the most notable and widely discussed encounters occurred in the sixth-generation titles Pokemon X and Y, where a girl materialized behind the player upon exiting an elevator in Lumiose City, uttered 'No, you're not the one,' and then floated away. However, the origins of the ghost girl myth can be traced back to the fourth generation games, where a painting in the upper room of the Abandoned Chateau depicted a figure with crimson eyes seemingly tracking the player's movements.

This recent revelation bears a striking resemblance to the fourth-generation narrative, revolving around a portrait of a girl with unsettling eyes. A gameplay clip shared on Reddit by user Ckmarv showcases a painting of a girl located in the Blueberry Academy League Club Room within the Dark Theme version of The Indigo Disk DLC. The girl in the artwork is holding a Banette, a Ghost-type Pokemon, and upon zooming in on her face, her eyes unmistakably blink twice. Whether this is a subtle nod to the ghost girl or an entirely separate hidden gem remains uncertain, yet it undeniably sends shivers down the spine.

Numerous Encounters with the Ghost Girl in Pokemon

The instances mentioned earlier are not the sole sightings of the ghost girl throughout the years. Apart from these occurrences, she has made appearances in Pokemon Black and White, where she sporadically emerges beside a man near the Marvelous Bridge only to vanish as the player draws near, and reappears in Pokemon Black and White 2 at the Strange House close to the same bridge. The girl resurfaces in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire just before the player confronts Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite Four. Additionally, Pokemon Sword and Shield introduces a living ghost girl named Paula, who requests the player to deliver a love letter to a boy, only for the recipient to reveal himself as an elderly man reminiscing about Paula, a childhood friend who fell ill.

Many of these encounters remain unexplained in their respective games, further enriching the eerie lore of the Pokemon series. Regarding this recent find, responses from Pokemon enthusiasts suggest a consensus that this indeed marks another ghost girl sighting, with only a lone skeptic proposing that the blinking observed in the painting could be a graphical glitch.
