21 Greatest Pokemon Rhymes and References in Rap Songs

Pocket Gamer: ''Rap artists often reveal some troubling preoccupations in their lyrics. That might include taking illegal drugs, murdering people, and spending half a mil' on a new hubcap.

But these urban poets of the street, as I like to call them, are also obsessed with Nintendo's monster-hunting RPG Pokemon. So, these lyrical professors often fill their songs with the names of these pocket-sized monsters.

And I don't just mean throwaway mentions of crowd-pleasing critters like Pikachu. No, I'm talking savvy references to the other 150 monsters. I mean, these rap dons know that Snorlax is fat, Bulbusaur is a grass type, and an episode of the anime once caused seizures in Japanese schoolchildren.

These are my favourites, and they're are all 100 percent real references to Pokemon games, cards, and monsters in rap songs.''

Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game

Inverno19d ago

I think the 3DS games look better than anything GF released on Switch.

--Onilink--19d ago

To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff

not surprised.

nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.

im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.

coldfire98418d ago

that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.

Kosic19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.

Uh, yea, that’s how console generations are supposed to work…
