Making all those original songs for the Pokemon anime and it's English dub was an act of sheer ingenuity. All the songs are actually really catchy. They're kind of kitschy, really. Their lyrics are sometimes really good, and sometimes they're nearly all just nonsense related to the games or the anime. And sure, all of the songs sound like 80s-90s dance tracks. But I think they're really good songs. They are a product of their time, but they're so dated and rhythmic that they loop around to being funny.
The power in our house just fizzled out. I was writing this post, and then I lost everything. The internet vanished, the TV turned off, the lights flickered, etc. So that was freaky. And also really distressing. It meant I was unable to finish my post and move on to writing the other posts I wanted to make.
