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