Emotion
Pokemon BlackWhite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember that very first time you walked back in my life
It was like I already knew your game, your game
You're caught in a trap, but I'll say one word
How come you don't talk to me with so much left unheard

So many things I wanted to say to your face
Never quite had the right words to say, to say
Some kind of complicated emotions playing on my mind
Some kind of easy solution I've got to find
It's time to change thoughts up in the night
'Cause if I won't, what's gonna make it right

Never a day that goes by without you leaving alone
But don't come to me and try and tell me things
That I already know, I already know

So many things you needed to say to my face
Until you do I'm walking away

Some kind of complicated emotions playing on my mind
Some kind of easy solution I've got to find
It's time to change thoughts up in the night
'Cause if I won't, what's gonna make it right?

Some times feeling a little lonely, I need some one I can talk to
I don't care what you say
Maybe we gotta find something that we, we both can relate to
So that this is all we do

Some kind of complicated emotions playing on my mind
Some kind of easy solution I've got to find




Some kind of complicated emotions playing on my mind
Some kind of easy solution I've got to find

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Emotion" from Pokemon BlackWhite depicts a story of two individuals who have a complicated past. The song appears to be a conversation between them, with the singer expressing their thoughts on the situation. The first verse talks about the time the two met again, and even though the singer was aware of the person's intentions, they still fell for their game. However, the singer is holding back their feelings and not saying everything that they want to say to this person.


The second verse describes the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing. They know that they need to change their thoughts at night but are struggling to find an easy solution to their complicated emotions. The singer is also aware that the other person needs to express how they feel to move forward in the relationship. The chorus repeats the idea of finding a solution to complicated emotions and highlights the importance of communication to make things right.


The last verse suggests that the singer is feeling lonely and needs someone to talk to. They want to find common ground with the other person to salvage their relationship. Overall, the song conveys the message that if both parties do not communicate their feelings, the situation will never improve, no matter how complicated the emotions may be.

The moment you re-entered my life is etched in my memory

I immediately recognized your intentions and motives


You're caught in a trap, but I'll say one word
You're in a difficult situation, but I have one suggestion

Why won't you communicate with me when there's still so much left unsaid

Laura Bryant Like the new games aren’t bad. Considering that generation seven is still technically a success, but I see where you are going with gen six. Generation eight isn’t bad either, people are just pissed that their national dex is missing.

Like generation eight has its own quirks just like any other region.

Generation one brought this series to life. Generation two was a great sequel to G1. Generation three, while not as successful, was a step up to G2 in terms of graphics. Generation four did so well for the fact that it brought new mechanics to the game that improved the competitive side of Pokémon and the casual. Generation five did just as well as generation four in terms of story and also added on side stories that didn’t flush out the main story. It also forced you to start anew with a team you were unfamiliar with. Generation six was just bad, but it made the graphics cleaner. Generation seven improved the graphics further and had a good story. It just had a lot of cut scenes from becoming more 3D. Generation eight also made you start with a slightly unfamiliar team and also had a really good story.

So while the story of the games remain compelling and amazing, it’s the amount of cutscenes and the new mechanics that make the game appear easy but longer.

But yeah, the games would be a lot better if Iwata was still alive.

 Generation 5 is, without a shred of doubt in my mind, the best pokemon generation so far, and I've been playing pokemon since Red and Blue. 

You know why? Because they really fucking ran the extra mile while making it. In more than one interview the creators said they were worried the new games wouldn't feel different enough from gen4, since it was the first time that a single console (the DS) would host two different pokemon gens in a row, so they went balls out on the project and did everything they could to set B/W above gen 4. 

And you knwo what? It fucking shows. Gen 5 has the richest and most diverse roaster of new monsters to date, because they had to be able to build an entire regional dex without counting on any oldies. Which was a brilliant choice that made Unova feel unique and fresh. 
And the ost? Not just beautiful, but also very rich. Each town had its own theme. I repeat. 1 UNIQUE THEME PER TOWN. They also came up with the idea of layering the instrument in some of them. Did I also mention the fact that two differet themes now play during gym leader battles, one for the main part and one for when there's only one pkmn left? and the fact that in B/W 2 there was a different remix for EVERY GYM?

C'mon guys, if this isn't dedication, I don't know what is.


And do I even have to mention the story? Both of B/W and B/W 2? Memorable characters, and I'm not just talking about N.  Both allies and antagonists actually PROGRESS from one game to the other (the splitting of Team Plasma, Ghetsis's change of attitude, one of the old rivals becoming a gym leader, Alder wisely realizing he's no longer fit for the position of champion and little Iris taking his place, Brycen getting back into acting etc) and show some kind of growth.


..... X and Y were the exact opposite of that. They thought that a new game mechanic,a 3d makeover and some shameless fan pandering (santalune forest being an almost exact copy of viridian forest, fucking snorlax blucking a route, and Kanto starters early in game? REALLY? Aren't you ashamed?) would be enough to make it stand out. But of course it wasn't. You could tell they didn't put too much effort in designing the region, writing a good ost or even coming up with a decent motivation for the villans. Those things are what really make a pokemon game memorable.



@Scuro1000

TheShadowScience I see what you mean about the music being subjective, but as a whole, if we compare the number of tracks present in each game, it's a fact that gen 5 simply has a higher number of specific tunes than your average pokemon game. Damn, before I even forgot to mention the seasonal remixes XD 

That said, I don't really think that X and Y are bad games. There is no such thing as a bad pokemon game (of the main series, at least), and even the worst one of the franchise (which honestly to me has to be gen 1, all things considered) is much higher above your average rpg in quality. It was only kind of a letdown after what gen 3, 4 and 5 had to offer.

And.... well, although I do love how they brought back Hoenn and its storyline in ORAS (my fav. gen after 5 and the one I have the most feels for), I'm also kinda disturbed to notice that some of X and Y's shortcomings are still present, and perhaps are here to stay...

The difficulty level, for one. Broken exp. share or not, the games are simply too easy. Pokemon has never been a hard game to begin with but... this is just getting kinda ridiculous. 
Also, have you heard that they cut the Battle Frontier for this very reason? Despite it being a great loss, I was ready to forgive them if they just didn't include it due to time constraints, but they ACTUALLY said they didn't bother re-creating it because kids nowadays are too busy getting distracted by easy mobile games to invest their time in a serious challenge. 

I....I.......I just don't like where this is going. Not one bit. Hopefully they wake up in gen 7 and stop nerfing the hell out of the enemies's teams...



@TheShadowScience

Scuro1000 : Yes. Despite music quality being subjective, Gen 5 had the most music variety.

Gen 6 shone brighter with the Hoenn remakes. Storylines expanded while staying faithful to the originals, etc. But before evaluating this Gen's shortcomings, I'll wait till it's over.

As for the difficulty level, I agree. I noticed a decrease in difficulty (despite me becoming a way better player then when I started Gen 1). so I don't use the Exp Share to breeze through the game. Though you'll be underleveled for the most part if you don't use it. Have you noticed that level-wise, Diantha is stronger than DP Cynthia? And how from Norman onwards, the ORAS Gym Leaders are at a higher level than the originals so the difficulty level didn't decrease THAT much.

I saw the Masuda interview where he said that kids nowadays are too busy getting distracted by easy mobile games to invest their time in a serious challenge. Well... He's got a point. Emerald's Battle Frontier was very hard. Kids these days would simply ragequit. If you look at the average player going through the way less difficult Battle Maison's Super battles, they get to 20 battles on a good day.

For Gen 7, we can only hope that Game Freak can find a good balance between easy and hard be it for the main story or battle areas. (And have a Battle Frontier AT LEAST similar to Platinum's).

Found my White version a month or so ago. Turned it on for the hell of it, just to see what it was like. Memories came flooding back like a tsunami. I had grinded so much my whole team was a level 100 plus some more in my PC box. I had a shiny Giratina from an event that Gamestop did, got one for my W2 as well. Wow was I really 8 when this game came out? It feels just like yesterday that I picked up my first Snivy, won all my badges, challenged the elite four, and rose to the top to become Champion (many, many times.) I guess I played more than I remember, and now that I'm older it puts it into perspective. I had sunk over 500 hours into this game since it had come out, but I remember almost every second of it.

I was in second grade when the game came out. Many many fond memories with a neighbor who was a very dear friend that played the games too. He moved away around 4th grade but I played on, holding onto those memories as I did. Brought some other neighbor kids into the games and I still talk to them today. I'm a senior in high school now, and one of those neighbor kids are off in college now. My old neighbor buddy moved back during high school so we reconnected.

When covid showed its face, I was running out of things to do. School was a bore online, couldn't hang out with anyone (lost touch with some other friends that played as well.) Thats when my old buddy hit me up and talked about how he was replaying some of the older games. He said that he missed the way things were when we were kids, when we didn't know as much. I guess that tugged at my heartstrings a bit because I felt the same way. He told me I should play through again with him. Go on another journey. But I was scared. I didn't want to delete my first file because I didn't want to lose all those memories along with it. But I realized that they wouldnt be gone. I would keep my team with me forever in my heart. Serperior, Haxorus, Klinklang, Conkeldurr, Volcarona, and Zekrom of course, I will never forget you. But I decided to play the game again, like I did when I was younger. With all the same passion and wonder and ups and downs along the way. I want this one to be special though, different from the first. So I've begun shiny hunting for my starter, a Snivy of course. I look forward to what my new adventure brings me.

Life is like this as well. I dont want to grow up with the fear that I will lose what I did when I was a kid. To the people reading this and everyone that should, using your past is what helps you continue to grow. Use what you've learned in your childhood, in your games, to help you become the person you strive to be. Don't let the past hold you back because you're afraid of losing the good. Use that to make new memories with your new friends and Pokemon. We all have dreams we want to pursue so we can become better versions of ourselves. N believes in us, believes that we can follow our dreams to the very end! I believe too. I believe that all of you will find your true calling and you will use everything you have learned to help you succeed with your dream.

I'm 18 now. High school is ending soon. I'm almost done with my journey through childhood. But this also means new beginnings. I get to go on a new journey, to use everything I have learned up until this point to help me grow into a more caring and strong person. I want you all to continue your journey's too. Whether you're just starting or you're on one now, we all have our own journeys. And I know you guys can be the very best... like no one ever was.

Brad if you ever see this, thank you. For helping me see the forest for it's trees.
