I remember when there were only one-fifty of you
A B E
Well, technically one-fifty-one if you are counting Mew, but I digress
F#m
I guess I spent the best years of my little life
A B
Surfing Cinnabar Island to get 126 Revives
E F#m
And I miss the Pokémon Centre
A B
I miss its music too
E F#m
And the way that Snorlax looked like Lapras on water
A B E
Pokémon, what happened to you?
E F#m
In the old days, you only got one form of every kind
A B
I could name all the Gym Leaders, didn’t even have to try
E F#m
But now you’ve shown me Team Galactic and Dark and Steel and eggs
A B
Oh I want my Red and Blue back when Ditto wasn’t used for sex
E F#m
I miss the cycling road, don’t you know
A B
I miss the music too
E F#m
And I can’t believe you used to be in black and white
A B E
Pokémon, what happened to you
A E B
Now Legendary means nothing to me
A E B
Because one-of-a-kind creatures add up to over thirty
A E B
And I only want three choices for my Eevee
A E B
I don’t want a rival if his name is not Gary
A (one strum only, let ring)
And how the hell do you pronounce Sweecoon, Sooisine, Sweesign, Sooisoon, I don’t know
A E B
I miss holding down the C# button when I thought it made it easier
A E B
I miss surfing to the truck and using Strength to try and move it
A E B
I miss watching my Charmander evolve into a Charmeleon
A E B
I don’t accept your Leaf Green, they’ll always be Red and Blue to me
E F#m
Yesterday, I dreamt I was surrounded by Unown
A B
They spelled the words “We're sorry on behalf of Nintendo
E F#m
We don’t get Poffins either, and SuperContests are so-so
A B
And the Pokédex was fine, it didn’t need a radio”
E F#m
I miss the Team Rocket hideout
A B
And I miss the music too
E F#m
And why have shinies if they’re so impossible to find
A B E
Pokémon, what happened to you
A B E
Pokémon, what happened to you
E F#m
And I’ll never again experience that joy of mine
A B B B B E
Because you are incompatible with my brand new D-S-i
