Gutted that the rumoured Godspeed You! Black Emperor track didn't make the final cut
I don't really like modern pop music... A digital re-release of the first Pokemon album would've been nice as part of the celebrations. 👍🏻 Damn shame it's not on Spotify!
All the classic Pokémon songs from my childhood... 😅
I’ve heard of Katy Perry and that’s it…
@somnambulance
No idea what the songs sound like on here, but I would recommend giving Vince Staples a listen
No Vacation? No Catch Me If You Can? Absurd!
Pokemon 25 sounds like some temporary game on NSO
I only know 2 artists on that list and one of those just because he plays MTG.
The "artist" names alone are enough to convince me that this will be utter rubbish. The early Pokémon pop albums weren't great either (the First Movie soundtrack had Britney Spears, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton, and Christina Aguilera, to name a few), but they were child-friendly, and M2M still holds up.
I still prefer the 1999 movie OST.
Catch Me If You Can, Vacation, Soda Pop, Gotta Catch 'em All, Don't Say You Love Me, etc are my favorite tracks.
But Gotta Catch 'em All Eurobeat version that i found from Youtube by Akyra Eurobeat was my new favorite.
Huh… I have to admit, I was kinda expecting 25 tracks when I saw the tile.
But that’s just the anniversary year, innit
@Alpha008 you'd think thered be 25 but most usually have about 12 to 14ish songs so 25 would be a lot.
In typical Pokemon fandom fashion, people complaining about stupid things. Albums typically average 7 songs, 14 is a good amount. Just because you haven't heard of specific artists doesn't mean they are bad. In fact a few of these artists have been in big budget movie soundtracks so it's just a knock against you.
If you wanted a remix of an old song, youtube has plenty.
