Who would look for a Pokemon *there*?!

[jeishin]

Uhm... I recently found the theme song for the Japanese Pokemon series. Noticing that it was a different song than the English and French series theme songs, I looked up the lyrics...
...and was a bit...surprised.

Seriously, who would search for a pokemon *there*?! XD The only one that comes to mind is Grimer from Team Rocket expansion... =/

[Magmar]

Might find some Krabbys in there.

The Grimer in question can be found here (http://pokemon.tcgplayer.com/tcg/scans/teamrocket/grimer.jpg).

There are so many sexual jokes that could be used here. However, since a lot of people here might be very immature/young, I'll refrain =D...

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Quite disturbing at the least lol

[mr_pikachu]

"EEK! What are you doing, you sicko?!"

"Oh, sorry, miss! I was just looking for Pokemon."


I have no idea how many times I've listened to that song, but I've never seen the translation... sure it's legit?

[The Blue Avenger]

mr_pikachu: Think about the montage that accompanies the theme song. Remember the part where Pikachu runs underneath a girl's skirt?

Yeah.

I always thought that was a little out of place... you know, all the main characters and then that random nameless girl. o.o (She didn't have a name, did she? I haven't seen that opening sequence in years)

But I guess... it's not. o.o

[The Blue Avenger]

No, she didn't have a name. I haven't seen the intro in ages... didn't she look like the Lass from RBY (or alternatively off of the card)?

[mr_pikachu]

XD

I'd forgotten about that! Yeah, she did run under the generic lass's legs... It all makes sense now!

Then again, why was that line in there twice? I only remember Pikachu doing that once in the intro... Oh, wait, we got the abridged opening theme. All hail 4Kids. :P

The Japanese version of that card is way more appropriate for this discussion.

that Grimer has one dirty mind! *ba doom ba doom cha*

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

Well, that's Japan for you, there's always a place for some random naughtiness, even in something like Pokémon. The japanese Grimer card is an interesting tidbit too though.

[Elec Man EXE]

LOL

Silly Japenese songwriters

[Skydragon]

O_o
Strange...

[darktyranitar]

LOL. Silly song and one pervert Grimer...

[Sceptile_Master]

It's typical of the japanese though. The sick stuff they do like watch hentai and stuff. I mean it's disgusting. They try and put so much perverted stuff into everything. That grimer card just rpoves my point even more. I don't wanna know how some of them think :S. I still love japanese culture but stuff like that is wrong.

The Japanese never cease to amaze me with thier weirdness.

On a side note, I noticed that site also had an ad for a dating site featuring a scantily clad blonde. Kind of reminds me of back when TPM used to have porn ads :P (which wasn't Kevin's fault BTW)

ARGH! I knew I should've junked that pop-up blocker! DAMN IT! ;)

But anyway, yeah, this is very Japanese. For those of you who know anime, think about Love Hina and all the stuff with Shinobu (and Kaolla, but there wasn't as much). For that matter, just think of anyone in Cardcaptor Sakura.

Yeah. Scary, isn't it?
