It's just a rumour that was made, there's no proof children actually committed suicide or suffered illnesses after listening to this music theme.

Shortly after the release of Pokemon Red and Green in Japan back in February 27, 1997, children aged 7-12 supposedly committed suicide and later went on to suffer illnesses only after listening to this music theme.

You see, Lavender Town's music theme had extremely high frequencies, which studies showed that only children and young teens can hear, since their ears are not fully developed.

All this is just a rumour, one now well known due to it being a creepypasta fact :)

RE:

what is the lavender town missing frequency mystery from pokemon games?

ive heard suicides and all this but whats it about and whats with the creepy song? from that pokemon game?

in a few words, its a story supposedly real or fake about the Japanese Pokemon red version and how the music of lavender's town frequencies that only 12 and under could hear, made them have something as minor as headaches to horrid things such as heart attacks and suicide. there was supposedly an incident where this bot was playing the game with ear buds in and he played the game with the same lavender town theme for hours and it made him extremely disturbed and made him have a heart attack. but that's only what i heard.

....i know this is wayyy more than a few words

Ha! The Lavender Town Syndrome! It Isn't Real!
