007 Squirtle 02:15
When you get scared You hide inside your shell yeah. It’s hard for you to stay so safe. And I’m there too Trying to protect you. It’s tricky when you’re softly raised. You don’t face much resistance. I’m scared that you will get away.(Get away.) So you bounced back. Back when you were little I know that you deserved more praise. And now we’re old. Cracked and hardened exterior We’re going home wet but saved. You don’t face much resistance. I’m scared that you will swim away.

I’ve grow up since I’ve been with you I’ve been big and small before but what’s a ‘puff to do? Cause I’ve been crying in my bed I think you liked me better when I was small instead There are some things that you can’t take with you But I’m wishing that that don’t include the ones I’ve grown attached to Cause I’ve been crying in my head Wishing that I was competitive instead

I got a thousand eyes But I don't need them To find you. I'm drawn to your light And you're amazing. What do you want me to do? 'Cause you see me as more than a pest And I can't say the same thing for my friends. You got a hundred hearts But you don't use them. You learned how to protect yourself. You finished before the start. I know I disappoint you. I'm alone inside your bookshelf. 'Cause you see me as more than a pest And I can't say the same thing for my friends.

Let me light your way Thrive here, don’t tread Tell me that you’ll stay On the bottom of the ocean

172 Pichu 02:19
One day you’ll grow up and have so much to give But for now you’re trying your best even though you’re diminutive. When you soak in my attention, you will be so adored Respected worldwide and you know you have to offer so much more. And you shock yourself every day. You try to impress but you’re a mess when things don’t go your way. I know you’re not grounded. You’re immature. When you grow up try to be less of a provocateur. You’re probably overshadowed by your future self. And I know it can be intimidating to inherit so much wealth. I’m talking about your reputation. You know your lineage Is perhaps the most renown rodents to begin with. Yet you shock yourself every day Trying to live up to the expectations some may say Are unrealistic. It may be simplistic But be live for yourself anyway.

176 Togetic 00:43
You float but you don't move How you do it i cannot prove. You spread joy with your dust When I see your eyes I know I must Earn your respect Until I'm perfect. I'm just a prospect I don't know what to expect.

186 Politoed 00:41
Come here. We will sing For you, our younger brothers. The moon is bright Look tonight, as we're together.

Don’t you spit on me Don’t you spit on me Don’t you spit on me Don’t you know that I am not a tree I am not a tree I am not a tree Don’t you know that I am weak and maybe I can’t grow Don’t you cut Don’t you cut Don’t you cut me down

204 Pineco 01:00
Additional weight don’t bother me Been developing a philosophy around my body You know that I’ve been making a shell and it’s so well At keeping me safe Additional weight don’t bother me It’s funny that armor can set me free but well that’s the way it gotta be.
10.
243 Raikou 01:14
I’m fast as lightning. So please get out of my sight. I know that we’ve had some fighting. So just tie a key to your kite. I’ve heard that you can’t outrun your problems but you’ve never seen me run. So step aside, I've got my alibi. I’m a dog and I know how to have fun.
11.
249 Lugia 01:30
I know that you are stuck here on the ocean floor. They won’t take you back after everything you love and adore is broken Because you’re not careful with your words. It’s ended. And I know it can’t get too much worse. You can’t go home! You can’t go home! You can’t go home! You can’t go home!

I give some signals before I pounce I got my kids and I got my doubts What are you hoping to find? I am more loyal than kind I don't wanna change my mind They called me mighty when I was a kid But now Fang is wasting potential just like I did I didn't wanna pass on my own wrath But now I'm thinking that's all that can last I don't know how to change my past
14.
You're a shaky boy You're a shaky boy You're a shaky child but you bring me joy I know that you caused a toxic breeze But that don't mean you ain't dear to me You're a shaky friend You're a shaky friend Your compassion and kindness know no end Your stories sometimes make me sleep But you're the one friend I will keep
15.
323 Camerupt 01:53
I know that you don't wanna start a commotion But well I think I don't get that notion. I was born to burst and while I know it might hurt Sometimes I just don't wanna get burned. I'm gonna burn. I'm gonna burst!

You know I’m angry And I deserve some respect I’ve been thrown in the trash And there’s only so much that I can protect But I’m resourceful I make do with what I’ve found And I’m sorry That your head’s stuck in the ground And I need some love Yeah I need some love Oh I need some love Oh I want some love Oh I need some love Oh I want some love Oh I need some love But I’m getting none And I’m having no fun Oh woe is me My coat is sandy

There's a blizzard Watch out Cause no one can hear you shout No fire The eye can see It's a cold tundra We're far from the sea Nothing can grow so better Nothing can grow so sleep Nothing can grow in the blizzard Nothing can grow so weep, weep, weep
21.
Don’t get too close Or you’ll get caught Stuck in the weeds Like an afterthought You tuck my hair Behind my ear I close my eyes So you disappear
22.
475 Gallade 00:26
I can tell what you're thinking. I can guess so you won't have to say it out loud. You can try protecting. We can help the weak if you want to help now.
23.
506 Lillipup 00:56
You're so sensitive to all that surrounds you But would you notice if I came through? Yeah, you don't bark at nothing. It seems that nothing is alarming. Yeah we've got a lot to learn. I guess that we've got a lot to learn.
24.
When you run I hear thunder. When you gallop I see stripes. When you charge it's no wonder That you can win any fight. You're my favorite zebra no one can beat ya! You're my favorite zebra no one can beat ya! You're my favorite zebra no one can beat ya! You're my favorite zebra no one can beat ya!
25.
Hang out in the ground With the subway sounds You built a maze You're amazing You built a home That you don't need But I will use It's often seen We don't need no other form of transportation. That's a good thing. You know I save on gasoline.

572 Minccino 02:38
I know that you are trying to get clean. I'm here for you when you're with me. So stay in bed if you need to. I got your chores. Do what you got to do. Now I can't do what I wasn't made to But you can try to overcome these reasons why You stay in bed. You know just because it's in your head Doesn't mean that it's not real. It's how you feel. ~Toy piano solo~ Now I can't do what I wasn't made to But you can try to overcome these reasons why You stay in bed. You know just because it's in your head Doesn't mean that it's not real. It's how you feel. Nothing means that it's not real if it's what you feel.

You don’t have to let go You don’t have to care You wanna have no weakness You’re stuck in the air It must be alright It must be fine When you don’t have to interact with your kind But you’re stuck In your place Like a snake If you could learn to let go You could learn to care Stop trying to find your recourse And try to make life fair It must be alright It must be fine When you don’t have to interact with your kind But you’re stuck In your place Like a snake

623 Golurk 04:16
I’m the golem in your heart And I’ve been here from the start And don’t you try to mess with me Or I’ll never set you free. I’ve got a stone face for a cage and I’m not afraid of death or change. I’ve got a stoned eye from my kid and I’m not scared of how we begin. What should we do To try to sleep in this room? I’ve been cramped my whole life. Trying hard to keep the fight. I’m the golem in your heart And you will not take my life. I’ve been awake since I was born And my hands are made of knives. I’ve got a stone face for a cage and I’m not afraid of death or change. I’ve got a stoned eye from my kid and I’m not scared of how we begin. I’m inside of myself. Screaming, gasping for help. I got rocks inside my mouth. I’m silent as I shout. (Aaah!)

628 Braviary 01:59
I fight for my friends. You know our bond well it transcends The earth. We can hang out in the air. You’re defiant. I am too. I bet I’m more stubborn than you. And well maybe, you’re not determined at all. I won’t stop fighting anyway. (No I won't!) If we keep it up well we could win today. (Keep it up!) You know that I can’t lose if I don’t give up! (No, I don't give up. No, I don't give up. No, I don't give up.) Do you wanna see these scars? The more I have, well the more I saw And well maybe(ooh! ooh!) I’m the hero you need. I’m so proud you know I’d never retreat. Put that flag down, we ain’t beat. If we keep it up (ooh! ooh!) you know that we might win. I won’t stop fighting anyway. (No I won't!) If we keep it up well we could win today. (Keep it up!) You know that we can’t lose if we don’t give up! (No, I don't give up. No, I don't give up. No, I don't give up.)

I’m picking the skin apart I’m picking your eyes apart I gotta bone to pick with you I gotta bone to pick with you I’m picking your head apart. I’m picking your heart apart. I got a bone to pick with you. And I’m coming for you too.

Hello Diance, fairy girl aren't you so fancy with you crown of airy crystal gems just so. Don't you know how to be powerful and glow. Silk and silver gowning your body of stone. Those ruby red eyes, piercing out from cloudy storm skies and from between your hands pink diamonds flow. How can it be that you're a shimmering earth born sea? Lighting up our night so please don't ever go. Swaying friend, your light and vibrance know no end. That blinding light could melt the deepest snow. Look at you swirl. In your light the warmth unfurls. You're a twirling superstar we're glad to know. Like a butterfly announces itself first by a flutter, movement before color. That's how you go.
36.
You got good aim and yet you missed I’ve seen how your arrows kissed They skim my side and I got more Upset until I hit the floor Now I’m trapped and I can’t escape Now I’m trapped and I can’t escape So I’m stuck here with this fate Take me now, I’m running late

747 Mareanie 01:57
I've been torn like this before Been limb from limb From the beginning to the end I was I told I had no friends. And maybe my dad was right I've scared away them all tonight. I'm growing back my appendages. I've got some weaknesses. I've always been scared of the ground. But you know, I've been lost and I've been found.
38.
755 Morelull 01:50
Would you like to flicker and glow? Don’t be scared of course you can say no. But if you want to dream with me. You can glimpse my popularity. What a dream we could share. You could be happy there. In our deep slumber you wonder what’s going on? You can be anything you can imagine. What’s going on? What nothing’s wrong?

You're such a coward. You're such a wimp. I know you're scared of everything including the kitchen sink. By the ocean, you're scared you'll fall in. Even though you are an Aquarius. Well, you're a type of fish. Sea life can be big But well if you flee it just proves you're the type of thing That just runs runs runs runs runs. You run away. Oh you run run run run run. You run away. Oh you're a wimp wimp wimp wimp wimp. You run away. Oh you're a wimp wimp wimp wimp wimp. You run away.

775 Komala 01:37
How long can you hold on for? I’ve been tossing and turning since you came through my door. I’m in tears. It’s been years. So get up if you can. I’m messed up and you could help But that’s my fault and no one else.
42.
I’ll put flowers in your hair Their sweetness flows throughout the air And I can heal you but only if you listen to Yourself when you speak to me Please don’t worship I make mistakes, you know I’m just like you I’m trying my very best I want to believe that you are trying too And I can’t hear you unless you are speaking truth So look at yourself when you talk to me And I can trust you but only if you promise to Let me use my telepathy

By myself I'm nothing special But with my friends we're on another level And on the seas we travel backwards In time rewind life Back before the pirates' virus There were dinos, ghosts, and the tyrants I remember the aquatic stylishes irses In time rewind life By myself I'm nothing special But with my friends we're on another level And on the seas we travel backwards In time rewind life

Woah woah woah woah... Don't move to slow or you'll go extinct I may be odd but at least I'm distinct Woah woah woah woah...

I've written 250 songs Exclusively about Pokemon What does it mean to hit a milestone? Do you mind if I record this one on my phone? I haven't given up, but you can tell I've slowed down And I'm not sure what that means this time around You'll be a treasure trove to me one day Collecting coins and memories along the way You've waited for me for one and a half thousand years Born from a coin, you're older than Shakespeare Can you believe they've made over one thousand now? So many friends so much to learn about Well, I haven't given up, but you can tell I've slowed down And I'm not sure what that means this time around Well, I haven't given up, but you can tell I've slowed down And I'm not sure what to do this time around Well, I haven't given up, but you can tell I've slowed down And I'm not sure what that means this time around Well, I haven't given up, but you can tell I've slowed down And I'm not sure what to do with my time, I know what to do for now

about

It's odd to realize that I released Pokésongs Volume 2 almost 6 years ago. In that time period over 200 new Pokémon have been released. For context, most of these songs were recorded between 2017-2019, and while my pace of Pokémon related songwriting has slowed down slightly, I've made a commitment to never stop making them entirely.

I don't know when Volume 3b, 3c, 4, 5, ect will be released, but I think it could be funny to take a 40 year hiatus and then complete this project out of nowhere.
