More than a year ago, the Japanese Pokémon YouTube channel uploaded a video so bizarre that you have to wonder if it's a preliminary experiment in mind control. It had Slowpoke and reggae in it, though, so we happily shared it.
Surprisingly, the video has suddenly reappeared with an English dub. According to the description, it's due to new Slowpoke gear being added to the PokémonCenter.com online store, but we're on to you, Pokémon Company. We're on to you.
So hey, enjoy the video!
If your mental faculties are still your own, you can also check out the full lyrics of the song in the video's description.

...Not this again!!! xD
Hate the English version. This song will always be "Donaiyanen Yadon" to me.
I'm surprised you guys didn't make a Slowpoke joke for the late release.
I have to say, the Japanese version is more bizarre. Probably because I don't know a word in Japanese, but still, something about it is just more...Mind-numbingly insanity-inducing.
I can feel it turning my brain into mush just watching it...Heaven forbid they start doing something even more potent.
I wonder what it looks like to someone on drugs?
I guess it is fitting...they ARE psychic types after all.

This...this is ART.
Makes me want a blunt.
What word starts with s and ends with e? Sunrobe! Is that what they said?
Um... What did I just watch...?
WHAT IS THIS
WHAT IS LIFE
WHAT ARE THOSE?!
(And before you reply, I know what they are. I was referencing that Vine. You know, Vine?)
Turns on video, watches for about fifteen seconds
Me: O.o ....Nope. Stops video
@Iggly Tim is better than that, I'm sure.
Slowpoke REGGIE?
"You're so slow, that your picture never blurs, the speedometer concurs (Slowpoke)"
I'm still wondering if that's a compliment or a insult to Slowpokes. Heck I think a Slowpoke will figure that out before I do
@WaddleDeeWeegee Sunstroke.
WHY I never liked Slowpokes and now it's like I'm done with u
@Iggly in the bolded font under the article's photo it says "Took them long enough"
So so disturbing. I wish I recorded my reaction.
oh a slowpoke video...
weird, weird, and even more weird
@spacejump Not much of a Slowpoke joke tbh because the subheading is more of a statement than it is a joke. Though I guess the word I'm leaning towards is pun and not joke.
I can't decide if this is cute or terrifying, but I'm leaning towards KILL IT WITH FIRE.
Wild SALNAX is CONFUSED!
A true gift from arceus
Is this a trailer for an upcoming horror movie?
@Iggly IOU one pun ; )
I'm starting to miss my Slowbro from Blue that I nicknamed "The Dude."
Welp, that's enough internet for the day.
I swear. That's adorable.
My avatar is okay with this.
Words cannot describe how fantastic I think this video is.
@BattleEnder This dub is actually pretty faithful to the original Japanese lyrics. They only took out the Udon reference (Instead of "Plodding, poky, sluggish...you're early", the original had different styles of udon which is a wordplay on Yadon), changed from Yakan (kettle) to sunstroke, modified a bit so the song rhymes, and that's it.
... Should I be glad that I only read the comments and didn't watch the video? ;^^.
O...K what the heck was that all about lol I feel more tired after watching it lol O_o
Only on the internet.
This gives me sweet, sweet memories of songs from Pikachu's jukebox...
I want more.
Awesome (^_^)
I liked this before it was... English...
that kinda remind me of a reggae reggae sauce theme (anyone in the uk know about that? from dragon den! anyone!?)
WAT
...what is it about this song, the Japanese version at least, that makes you feel so ~sleepy~ while watching it? It's not like it's a Jigglypuff singing or something.
The lyrics in this is hilarious.
