Fire Red, Black Version

What is up my future trainer?

You see my name is Oak.

I’m a Pokémon professor

And that’s no Poké-joke.

I forgot my grandson’s name

And I’m uncertain of your gender

So take this fire-breathing cutie

And go on a Poké-bender.

Before you leave my lab

You and what’s-his-name will fight.

So you don’t know what to do?

That’s the tutorial all right!

Now go deliver this parcel

To the Viridian guy

And tell your mama that you’re leaving

‘Cause you’ll probably Poké-die.

Wait, you made it? You’re amazing!

That must take Pokéballs.

Keep your lizard you wizard

And depart from these walls.

You better go get eight badges

From the Pokémon gyms

And also stop the Poké-mafia

And keep all your limbs.

And if you make it to the end

With all your cuties leveled up

I’ll take a break from your mama

To come and tell you what’s up

Which is that you are the champion

And not what’s his name

So watch some unskippable credits

And join the Poké-Hall-of-Fame.

Then go back to your family

And play on your NES.

Wait, you want some more adventure?

Well who’da Poké-guessed?

Don’t worry little trainer

(Still can’t tell if you’re a girl)

‘Cause we’ve got thirty years of games

For you to give a Poliwhirl.

Not sure what Poliwhirl is?

Don’t feel bad.

In the early days we weren’t sure

The power Pikachu had

So we made a hundred-fifty

Little monsters to enslave

And told you to catch ‘em all

But only gave you one save

So to really win this challenge

You’re gonna have to go out

And sell your friends another game;

That’s what we’re Poké-about!

Are you laughing? Is that crying?

No, that wasn’t a joke.

Now go bring me a Mewtwo

Or I’ll give your mom my Oak.

Pokemon Forever

Back in 1996 we moved to Pallet Town

Where there are two houses

And electric mouses

And a research lab that’s brown.

Now our trainer starts their quest in the hills of Cabo Poco.

It’s the exact same thing

But with 3D bling

And NPCs who say “Loco.”

When I am 58 years old I’ll go to Quantum Prime

Where I’ll get my starter

And then depart for

Eight badges and fighting crime.

Pokemon In A Nutshell

Fire doesn’t like water

And water doesn’t like grass

And grass doesn’t like bugs

Because bugs are a pain in the ass.

Bugs don’t like rocks

And rocks don’t like fighting

And fighting is afraid of psychics

Because they say the right thing.

Psychics don’t like ghosts

And ghosts don’t like the dark

And darkness hates fairies

Because they hang out in the park.

Fairies don’t like poison

And poison hates the ground

And ground does not like ice

Nor the British sterling pound.

Ice, of course, hates fire

And there are dragons in here too.

Normal stuff hates getting punched.

See, it’s super simple! Whoo!

This Is Just Facts

There once was a pokemon game

Where you chose your rival’s name.

It was probably “Ass”

Or akin to that class

But the new pre-named rivals are lame.

Soulmates

My wife is on the sofa

Running through the golden grass

Trying to catch an Eevee

Which is a real pain in the ass.

She’s been doing this for hours,

A frustrating type of zen

And I feel like she’s living out

My childhood again.

And Yet They Give These To Eleven-Year-Olds?

If I were a Pokemon master

I’d sure get to work a lot faster.

With my Dragonite I’d

No traffic abide…

On reflection, that would be a disaster.

Millennial Fantasies

Sometimes when I’m feeling blue

I try a little trick

Where I think I’m a Pokemon

Who’s very, very sick

And instead of going to my job

I go to the free healthcare place

And the happy nurse makes me feel better.

Then I punch my boss’s face.

She Played Another Game With Me…

Her epic trapper spidey

Killed my supersonic bat-dragon.

Apparently the divorce is off

And we’re back to love and naggin’!

And You Thought Monopoly Ruined Friendships…

My magic thunder doggy

Killed my fiancee’s fairy horse.

Yes, she played Pokemon with me.

Yes, we’re headed for divorce.

Pokemon Release Day

Today I woke at 5:00 AM

To play a video game

Where I got to go to school

With a crocodile made of flame

And ride a living, dragon motorcycle

Far across the land,

Throwing balls at animals

So they’re at my command.

I took a day off work for this,

Ignored my social life,

Forgot to take a shower with

The girl who’ll be my wife.

All this is the triumph

Of a fully grown adult

Whose parents never let him buy

A pumpkin catapult.
