First, re-read this: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Creepypasta_Wiki:Spinoffs and show me the part where it says you can't post video game pastas.

It doesn't say that. It says no haunted game stories. Haunted, posessed, cursed anything in that realm, yeah, that's banned. If you can tell a creepy video game story without falling into those plotlines, it's allowed.

Second, Sonic.exe isn't the reason haunted game stories are banned. If anything, it's because of BEN Drowned. BEN pretty much launched the haunted game genre and spawned a million copycats, including Sonic.exe. But it's not because of BEN, either. It's because there's a million copycats, most of them are bad, most of them are exactly the same and we're done dealing with them.

Third, the assumption that Pokemon stories are banned because of Sonic.exe is idiotic. Pokemon stories are banned because of Pokemon stories and nothing else. Maybe if almost every single Pokemon story didn't fall into one of the same four plot lines (Lavendar Town, I played this game and it made me go crazy, I didn't appreciate one of my Pokemon and then it murdered the rest of my Pokemon and/or me, and I found a hacked version of Pokemon with blood and death in it) they wouldn't be banned.

Pokemon stories are banned for basically the same reason as haunted video games (that is, they're mostly cliched rip-offs), but it's not because we banned video game stories. Because, again, we didn't. my pasta wasnt about lavender town, a game covered in blood, or entities killing other pokemon. it was about an item that could collect data on creepypasta pokemon.
