D                               Em
I remember when there were only 150 of you
      G                  A
Well, technically 151 if you are counting Mew.
          D                                   Em
but I digress, 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 Center
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            G       D     A
I don't want a rival if his name is not Gary

    G
And how the hell do you pronounce Sweecoon, Sooisine, Sweesign, Sooisoon
        D   G, D, A
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         G         D         A               D   (G, A)
I won'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
The 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


         G             A             D   A  G
And I'll never again experience that joy of mine
        Em                           A           D
Because you are incompatible with my brand new DSi
