Chronically Learning

This song is such a big part of my childhood, and even though the lyrics are a bit cheesy, the message is an important one and I personally believe the words contain values central to my brand of PokéPaganism.

“I wanna be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land Searching far and wide Each Pokémon to understand The power that’s inside

Pokémon! Gotta catch ‘em all (It’s you and me) I know its my destiny Pokémon Oh, you’re my best friend In a world we must defend Pokémon! Gotta catch ‘em all (A heart so true) Our courage will pull us through You teach me and I’ll teach you Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all Gotta catch 'em all Yeah

Every challenge along the way With courage I will face I will battle every day To claim my rightful place

Come with me the time is right There’s no better team Arm in arm we’ll win the fight It’s always been our dream

Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all (It’s you and me) I know its my destiny Pokémon Oh, you’re my best friend In a worl we must defend Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all (A heart so true) Our courage will pull us through You teach me and I’ll teach you Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all Gotta catch 'em all Pokémon!”
