  1. TITLE: The Feature Creepening 2: Electric Boogaloo: Revengence IGN: llGINll WORD COUNT:​​ 1494 [spoiler] I first started playing Pokemmo back in 2013; it was a simpler time back then whereby there was no breeding and simply catching a one times thirty one, good nature Pokémon was considered to be quite impressive. After that generation had passed, I, like many people took to breeding as a means of making money in the game which was challenging, but profitable. It was summer and I had a lot of free time to play Pokemmo; there were times I would even pull all nighters and play well into the next day. It was really fun and nothing made me happier than to relive my childhood memories of the game. It was on one of these days whereby I found myself in a peculiar set of situations that still gives me chills to this day. On a day like any other I found myself on four island channel one, breeding snorlaxes with curse, when I was approached by a player called seanow274 and we got to talking. “What are you breeding?” he whispered. Being busy at the time I quickly replied with: “Snorlaxes”. “That’s nice” he stated. After that he just logged out or flew away and I didn’t see him for a while after that. In hindsight, what he said was kind of strange but you get random weirdos like that online all the time and so I thought nothing of it and simply went back to breeding. This is where it all started. Not three days later I was again on four island and was in a very good mood as both of my two breeders now had very good ivs. I was in the middle of completing the flag events to speed up the eggs hatching when a message appeared on the screen: seanow274 would like to add you as a friend. I was again, in a hurry and thinking little of it, accepted his request. A minute later he sent me a message: “what are you breeding?” I stopped moving out of confusion and general annoyance and replied “Snorlaxes dude, why do you wanna know?” After a brief hesitation he once again said “that’s nice” and then logged off. At this moment my egg hatched but this time it was different. Instead of instantly hatching the screen started flashing in a way it would if a Pokémon was evolving, but unlike the usual evolution music, there was just a silent ambiance in the back ground. As it hatched a message appeared: ‘I’m sorry but your Pokemon has died, please see the breeder’. I was startled to say the least, I took a print screen and started to look at the Pokémon. I right clicked on it: aside from everything else which was normal it was level zero and had zero HP. What troubled me the most though was the sprite itself. It looked paler and had two rather cartoonish X shapes for eyes; it was actually very disturbing. It was at that moment that the in game music for lavender town started playing; by this stage I thought there was either a major glitch in the game or more likely this guy seanow274 had somehow hacked into the game and was just messing with me. I contacted a GM called Maltyfire on the forums and sent him the screenshot, updating him on my situation; while he was confused about the situation initially he messaged me quite quickly saying he would have someone check what was going on and that I should stay offline for a while whilst my account was checked over. It was a weird response, though I guessed he didn’t want to admit that there could be a fault of this calibre or that Pokemmo could be so easily hacked into. None the less I did what he told me to. Eventually it became night time, I checked the forums and found a reply from Maltyfire who stated that everything was running fine and that I should either ignore this anomaly or quit wasting his time with childish pranks. I was a little offended, though what I said to him was a little far fetched, so I understood his frustration. I opened Pokemmo and signed in as usual, it was night in the game as well and a rather peaceful and surreal soundtrack played in the background which was unlike any soundtrack I’d heard before from fire red. My first instinct was to check the condition of my Snorlax but as I looked at my party it was nowhere to be found, though this wasn’t the only thing that was strange. The graphics. The graphics seemed sharper and more detailed; for example the eyes and facial expressions on my character sprite seemed much more human like. My heartbeat was steadily increasing and at that moment a message appeared on screen: ‘seanow347’ is now online. Instinctively I messaged him and asked him what the hell was going on. He simply exclaimed: “the breeder” and then logged off. At this point I was seriously creeped out, it was dark in my room and I was home alone, concentrating greatly on the screen. I happened to see Maltyfire in the trade chat and I private messaged him. “Hey it’s the one that messaged you earlier, there’s something wrong with the game still and the person I saw when these things started happening keeps messaging me” It seemed like minutes had passed before he finally replied: “that’s nice”. Those two words etched themselves into me and sent a chill down my spine; at this point I had had enough of this. I just wanted to breed snorlaxes and after deliberating on what to do, decided I would see the breeder. As I arrived the brightness of the screen diminished, I tried to fix this issue by flying out and back into four island but the screen just read: skarmory is too tired to fly, any effort to leave by boat was just as useless with another patronising message showing up. I walked up to the breeders building and just as I was about to walk in I saw Seanow274 in the day-care area with the other Pokémon who then vanished out of sight. I quickly ran inside the day-care and saw the elderly man upon which I selected him. “It appears you have a Pokemon that has died, would you like to see him?” Upon getting a yes or no box I clicked yes. A secret door opened up at the back of the day-care; the man let and my sprite followed. I found myself in a dark forest like area. “This is as far as I can take you” the old man said. I accepted this and started moving through the forest. There was no music, just sounds of thunder and lightning as torrential rain could be seen pouring down. I was very nervous and a little frightened about what I might find as this was clearly not in the original fire red. I arrived at a clearing, and the dead grass I was walking through started to dissipate. I had arrived at wherever I was going. My character sprite started moving of its own accord and approached what looked like to be a cemetery where many, many graves laid. I approached one which read, here lies Snorlax, died in childbirth August 2014. What the hell was I reading? I looked closer and it actually appeared like my sprite was crying. The graphics were so sharp, the tears from my sprite, the grave yard and even the trees seemed so, life like. The music got more sinister now and more jumpy and a look of fear replaced the sad look in my sprites eyes. A message appeared from seanow274. “What they don’t want you to see, the truth behind this game is me”. The game crashed. At this point I was lost for words on what was happening to me and was very curious, but also anxious to see what was going on. What did seanow mean…? I quickly logged back in and found my character in pallet town inside my characters bed; my mum entered the room whilst soft music played in the background. “Hello sweetie, I heard you scream. Did you have a nightmare again?” I selected no to which she replied “alright then, sweet dreams”. And that was the end of it. To this day I have no idea why this happened to me or even how it happened to me; what I do know is I checked up information through some GMs, telling them about my story, and found that there was never a player called seanow274 registered to the game; there was never even a GM by the name of Maltyfire either. I get anxious when breeding now and whilst I still enjoy the game, the charm I once felt for it as a child is gone and has been replaced by feelings of fear and confusion. [/spoiler]
