A long long time ago
I can still remember playing
Pokemon by my bedside light
And I knew with my Pikachu
That I could be a Master too
And maybe I’d be happy for the night
But twenty-nineteen made me shiver
With E3’s bombshell they delivered
Bad news on the showfloor
The living Dex was no more
I can't remember if I cried
When I saw the friends we’d leave behind
Something pushed me to decide
The day Pokemon died

So
Bye, bye Pokemon X & Y
Sun & Moon you’re gone too soon, Sword & Shield makes me cry
And them Genwun fags will tuck their kids in tonight
Singin' Gen 5 might’ve been a good time
Gen 5 might’ve been a good time

Did you fill the Pokedex
Across your continental treks
If Professor tells you so?
Did you take on Distortion World?
Or were you more Diamond and Pearl?
And can you teach me how to catch Spiritomb?

Well, I know you met your waifu here
And the Salamence you’ve had for years
You know I’ve been there too
Felt the same since Pokemon Blue
I was a lonely autist nineties boy
With a GameBoy Color and some plastic toys
But I lost all that childhood joy
The day Pokemon died

I started singin'
Bye, bye Pokemon X & Y
Sun & Moon you’re gone too soon, Sword & Shield makes me cry
And them Genwun fags will tuck their kids in tonight
Singin' Gen 5 might’ve been a good time
Gen 5 might’ve been a good time

Now, it’s six years since the models came
And yet less content shows in the games
But, that's not how it used to be
When the sequel came out for Black and White
At a time 3D games were in sight
From a man who composed for two or three

Oh and while the old guard stood aside
Some jesters came to steer the ride
The fanbase was dismayed
No standards were portrayed
While Iwata pushed forth to the Switch
And dev teams struggled with each glitch
Oh, The fan ideas we would pitch
The day Pokemon died
