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