Everyone's Friday jut got a little weirder with the official Pokémon YouTube channel's latest post, a nearly four minute reggae epic of Slowpoke doing Slowpoke things like attempting to swallow other Slowpokes' tails, Busby Berkeley water number-style:
One theory states that this video is related to an online Slowpoke-themed fishing game. Another potentially more plausible theory holds that Nintendo and Game Freak may well be under the control of the Illuminati lizard men and are performing an experiment to see if it's possible to mellow humans' emotions while inducing a feeling of low-level fright.
It's certainly not the first instance of odd Pokémon music, and we're sure it won't be the last.

Eh, I'll sleep just fine.
Oh... Slowpoke 'Reggae'. I clicked on this article expecting to see Slowpoke Reggie haha. My bad
@MeWario Me too lol. Reggie!!!!
Is it wrong that at first the video almost made me sick, but soon I was laughing and started to love slowpokes more than ever? ^_^;
(Why I have the bad feeling I just got brainwashed... )
There's apparently (according to an add, so take this with a pinch of salt) a big reggae and R&B trend going on in Japan, maybe this has something to do with it?
I was thinkin reggie at first, then somewhat dissappointed
Needs some subs me thinks.
I thought it was kinda cute...except for the ring of human centipede slowpokes.
I absolutely love the subtly creepy animation.
I love it! I just wish I understood something besides 'Yadon', its Japanese name.
Like a number of others, I too read it was a Reggie Slowpoke. Can someone with Photoshop skills help us out here?
I don't think I've ever seen anything that can be such a perfect mix of terrifying and entertaining. Leave it to Game Freak to change that!
@GuSolarFlare Those fungi don't stand a chance.
Okay, this is officially the weirdest thing I'm gonna see all day.
...um...can I wash my eyes out now?
I assure you this is not nearly as surreal as Imakuni?'s pokérap.

Imakuni? has many of his own cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game exclusive to Japan, and is even an opponent in the Game Boy Color title.
I didn't find anything remotely scary, it was more adorable. That blank stare, I can look at it for days man! Reggae all day Slowpoke!
What... What did I just watch? Seriously, I couldn't even look away, it was like some bizarre brainwashing video... I just... I'M SO CONFLICTED NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS!
To clarify, this is the end of a Slowpoke's Paradise promotion that has been on the official Daisuki Club which focused all upon Slowpoke. It provided streams of episodes, wallpapers etc. and culminated in Slowpoke Day on August 10th.
This is everything lol.
Of COURSE it's from Japan.....
It reminds me of Ras Trent. LOL! Sciddley-Diddley WOOOOAH!
That is actually really adorable! Slowpoke just rose several places on my favourite Pokémon list. x3 ...not that I have such a list, BUT THEY JUST ROSE A FEW PLACES!
Slowpoke is all. Slowpoke is all. Slowpoke is all.
Well... That's a thing...
@mystman12 to me it's a tie! XD
I'm guessing that if even if I knew what the lyrics meant, it would make little sense
Uhhhhh....o_0
Yadon.
I actually find this quite cute. ♥
my friends last name is yadon. how wierd is that. hes not into pokemon but i bet hes going to trip out when i show him this later. he does love reggae though.
Hahaha, wow. I would totally have a Slowpoke and a Munchlax if I was in the Pokémon world and we'd just chill all day listening to tunes and whatnot. XD
Come on virtual reality Pokémon! Lol
Well... don't think I've ever heard Japanese Reggae, before.
Oh man, they're everywhere. Wait, why are they all looking at me? Don't come any closer! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Okay, they're taking a really long time to get over here.
My new profile picture!
Lol, those Japanese. Very trippy!
