(I remember hearing someone sing these lyrics to the tune of Route 1 as a kid somewhere)

Oh, well, look at me
Only 10 years old
And I’m heading out the door
Got my Pikachu here walking by my side
Coupled up with Bulbasaur
Gonna make my way to the Champion
And I’ll also save the day
And I’ll catch whatever Pokémon that stands directly in my way
I decided that I’d venture out into the world because
I just wanna be the very best like no one ever was!

Nostalgic 🤧💖💖💖💖

Nostalgic as hell.

My first Pokemon game was FireRed.

I had two Gameboy Advanced SPs and still have, working, to this day.

I have had 3 saves on it so far.

On my original I didn't know how to heal and switch Pokemon, so I became angry, gave up and reset.

I looked up how to do it and then my second save was born.

On my second save my Charizard was level 76, and my others were like level 20, my Raichu level 43.

I remember getting stuck on Mt.Moon so I just battled outside Mt.Moon and ended up evolving Charmeleon to Charizard inside it.

I made it to Lance with Charizard carrying my team.

Aerodactyl destroyed it and my Raichu ended up on 1 HP, then I decided to let Raichu faint... I realised I had trained wrong so I reset.

I chose Bulbasaur and that save got me to Blue, which I lost to because of stupid revival decisions.

I bought Leafgreen and named my Pokemon after Ben 10 characters.

My Pikachu was called XLR8 and my Bulbasaur was called Overgrow.

I have not played LeafGreen or FireRed in years, so maybe I should continue my LeafGreen...

Edit: My Bulbasaur just evolved: yay!

I never grew up with the first or third generation of Pokémon games (I started with D/P), But this is no doubt one of the best Pokémon Route themes, along with Route 10 from B/W and 201 from D/P

For a reason that I don't know when I listen to this song I imagine myself watching the pokedex and watching extremely rare pokémon.

After hours of reliving my childhood by playing fire red, this song is being burned into my skull. Is this an original track or is this based on another oldie old west song? I feel like I've heard this before, but it could be just me remembering this from my old gameboy days....

bauerklos music

I think it's mostly just an arrangement based on that sort of west-genre rather than anything specific, I hear it too

This my version of what I think of the lyrics could be:
*you’re on your way
You’re on your way
You’re on your way to viridian (3x)
But first you gotta catch some Pokémon!!
And along the way you’ll meet some scary thing to face
But your friends by your side you’ll never be alone!! *

How is it possible that the pokemon music tracks were so much better 10 years ago? What did they do different in making games than they do today?

Asa Of The Sand

Nostalgia. Also this isn't an original song to Pokemon, it originates from both a French nursery rhyme and an American version called Polly Wolly Doodle. While the bridge is unique, it's meant to pad the song so the chorus isn't as repetitive.
