1999 in the school yard
Lunch time spent trading Pokémon cards
Couldn’t afford a game boy I had No$gmb
Got it on an emulator
From the rom is how I played it
Charmander was the one that I chose
I remember running errands for professor oak
I'm a game freak and Imma gonna be
Waiting at the top of the Pokémon league.
As I’m writing this rhyme yea its taking me back
to the days when I had memorised the Pokémon rap
Elecrtrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey,
Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey

It doesn’t really that your life is average
When you’re a Pokémon master nothing else matters
Spending your nights collecting gym badges
Leveling up to do maximum damage
Teacher confiscated all my Pokémon toys
Broke into her office to get back my Blastoise
But what am I gonna do when there's no one left to choose
Sit at home alone on my Nintendo with the Pokémon blues.

1999 and I turn on my TV
After school yea it just got real
From 4:00 to 4.30 Ash, Brock and Misty
I am too busy for homework or chores
After or before
Cause I’m training my Caterpie evolve it to Butterfree
I traded it for a Raticate.
But I’d take it right back like a quick attack
If I had the chance to relive the past.
For a while I was at the top
Filled my Pokedex yea I caught them all
Becoming the best that there ever was
Crawling through tall grass throwing Pokeballs
Cause Pokémon was my reason for breathing
From pallet town to Fuschia city
Attending poke parties on the s.s anne
Battled every trainer who made eye contact
Had a Pokémon lunchbox and a Pokémon cap
Got my Pokeballs kept in my Pokémon pack.
But what am I gonna do when there's no one left to choose
Sit at home alone on my Nintendo with the Pokémon blues.

See the TV shatter my dreams
Ash defeated at the Pokémon league
Tears gleam in my eyes, too young to realise
It was just the networks scheme to milk the franchise
Had 151 mew and Mewtwo
And now they tell me there's a few hundred new
Pokémon, come on, I thought I caught ‘em all
But there’ll always be more on the next console

Cause you should know you won’t achieve your dreams
There’s always something more from where you wanted to be
Standing alone on the Indigo Plateau
But we’ll never reach the end of Victory Road
You won’t be able to revive me when I depart
Flail on the ground like a Magikharp
And in my desolation I'll sleep forever
Till I wake up dead in a Pokémon centre
