pokemon, what happened to you?

Singer:day, alex

i remember when there were only 150 of you

well

technically 151 if you are counting mew

but i digress

i guess i spent the best years of my little life

surfing cinnabar island to get 126 revives

and i miss the pokemon center

i miss its' music

too

and the way that snorlax looked like lapras on water

pokemon

what happened to you?

in the old days

you only got one form of every kind

i could name all the gym leaders

didn't even have to try

but now you showed me team galactic

and dark and steel and eggs

oh

i want my red and blue back when ditto wasn't used for sex

and i miss the cycling road

don't you know

i miss the music

too

and i can't believe you used to be in black and white

pokemon

what happened to you

now legendary means nothing to me

because one-of-a-kind creatures add up to over thirty

and i only want three choices for my eevee

i don't want a rival if his name is not gary

and how the hell do you pronounce sweecoon

sooisine

sweesign

sooisoon

i don't know

i miss holding down the b button 'cause i thought it made it easier

i miss surfing to the truck and using strength to try and move it

i miss watching my charmander evolve into a charmeleon

i won't accept your leaf green

they'll always be red and blue to me

yesterday i dreamt i was surrounded by unown

they spelled the words we're sorry on behalf of nintendo"
