NateWantsToBattle - Kanto Lyrics






My, oh my, how the time has passed
Lt. Surge to the S.S. Anne
Fight Clefairy from all these Lass
to top percentage Rattata

We thought we'd become champions fast
walking straight into taller grass
Professor stopped us in a flash,
turned right around back into Oak's lab

See, we won't forget who we chose first
in that generation, on that 8-bit engine
See, we won't forget who we chose first
in that generation, the original region,
that region, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
We'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto

So, here's to catching your first Pidgey
and learning how to use Bill's PC
A shocking win over Misty
to your final badge from Giovanni

See, we won't forget who we chose first
in that generation, on that 8-bit engine
See, we won't forget who we chose first
in that generation, the original region
That region, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto

Opponents losing, we're leveling up
Got badges for days
Kalos, Johto to Unova,
we stay in the Hall of Fame

We run on that 8-bit engine
in that original region
We run on that 8-bit engine
in that original region,
that region, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto, hey!

Lada-dada-da-dadada
Lada-dada-da-dadado
Whether it's Hoenn or Sinnoh
we'll find our way back into Kanto
we'll find our way back into Kanto
we'll find our way back into Kanto

    This is one of my favorites by you, its deffinettly the LETS GO theme song for me

  5. 7.... ....

    I don't care how long it has been, I'll always remember this song :')

  6. J.... K....

    I choose squirtle for kanto and i still remaber my team

  7. f.... W....

    This will be the perfect song to reflect on all the pokemon games You've played

  8. H.... 2....

    Is it just me, or did he predict the "Let's Go" games?

  15. J.... C....

    My first Pokemon game was fire red on an emulator I chose Squirtle because I thought grass against water would do less than the others I only used him and I never got the bike voucher and I made so many mistakes

  16. Z.... A....

    After watching sun and Moon last episode

  17. U.... ....

    Charmander Champions gather!

  18. D.... J....

    This song hits home so strongly. As a 30 something gamer, this is a strong feel. No, by no means am I a Gen-1er. The game has progressed amazingly. But I will say, this song is also what brought me to you. I love your parodies immensely. I do also love your original works, but won’t deny missing when you did more like this. I totally get wanting to make your own way, and have vastly loved your original works (Perfect By Design hits home for me) and somewhat (keyword) miss your parodies, but I am also loving you just doing you. If you somehow see this, keep up the amazing work, however you want to do it.

  19. Y.... ....

  25. E.... L....

    Every single time I listen to this song, I get so emotional. Gameboy and Red is our first Pokemon. We'll always have Kanto in our hearts.

  26. M.... t....

    The Kanto region is home to all true Pokemon fans who grew up with the franchise!

  27. B.... S....

    My first pokemon game was an online fangame,i chose Charmander[Can't remember what i named her,just that i wanted to get a megastone for her when they started adding them,and that she helped me catch a shiny Cacnea.].My first actual game was fire red,where i chose bulbasaur. My favorite will always be gen 2 or gen 4[that's Sinnoh right?I always get the generations mixed up]

  28. G.... ....

    Kanto (G3): Bulbasaur (fully evolved)
    Johto (G4): Totodile (fully evolved)

    Unova: Oshawott (fully evolved)
    Kalos: Froakie (fully evolved)
    Alola: Popplio (3 fully evolved- 2 male, 1 female- 1 male kept as Popplio)

  42. T.... ....

    Who else started in Sinnoh?

  43. G.... ....

    Just heard Back Home on the radio while I was between shifts at work, and my brain autocorrected the lyrics to these ones. I’ve been falling out of love with Pokémon as of late, and I don’t think I’ll end up picking up Sword and Shield, but you’re right about one thing - We don’t forget who we chose first.
    Pokémon Sapphire - Torchic, named Torch by my small, uncreative child mind, who traveled through the generations alongside my first shiny, Chansey the Audino and Nuzlocke champion, and the Pokémon owned by a departed friend from the Emerald cart he gave me when we were kids.

  44. c.... ....

    I only watched your parodies in 3rd grade. It was the times.

  45. C.... O....

    Kanto:bulbasaur
    Johto:cyndaquil
    Hoenn:mudkip
    Sinnoh:chimchar

  46. S.... H....

    I enjoy the alot of the voices overlapping

  47. A.... G....

    I was 14 when this came out... this song is so nostalgic to me

    A.... G....

    I was 13
    Why doesn't he do Pokemon anymore?

    A.... G....

    Same for me, except I am 13 now and my brother showed me the songs.

  48. C.... T....

    Johto=totodile
    Hoenn=treecko
    Sinnoh=chimchar

  54. K.... D....

    This makes me cry, I’m so old, I love Pokémon to this day, I am excited for gen 8, I’m a competitive battler and Pokémon has aged like a fine wine, PS that means it aged well, my favorite Pokémon is Serperior, I love Unova, #grookeygang

  55. A.... D....
