Sometimes I like to associate Pokémon with music. This page will be used to express what music I find fitting for each Pokémon.
Gen I
Pokémon | Song | Reason |
---|---|---|
Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur | "Forest Interlude" from Donkey Kong Country 2 | The song is slow and relaxing. The Kanto Grass starter seems like the type to just trudge slowly in a majestic forest. |
Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard | "Thwomp Caverns" from Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. | Mostly because it sounds "Fiery". |
Squirtle | "Koopa Beach" from Super Mario Kart | Squirtle has been referred to being like a Koopa Troopa by both Pokémon and Mario fans alike. |
Wartortle | "Koopa Bros. Keepin' it Cool" from Paper Mario | Okay, Koopa Troopa association again. But this song really seems to fit Wartorle's badass disposition. |
Blastoise | "Gloomy Galleon" from Donkey Kong 64 | Blastoise is definitely one of those ocean lurkers. |
Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree | Athletic Theme from Super Mario Bros 3 | I dunno, the sounds peaceful and fun-loving. Mostly fits with Butterfree. |
Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill | "Flight of the Zinger" from Donkey Kong Country 2. | Well, the song was meant to be wasp-oriented. |
Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot | "Sky Chase Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | It's peaceful, airy and majestic. The perfect music for Pidgeot to fly nobly up in the skies with. |
Rattata | "The Road is Full of Dangers" from Super Mario RPG | Well, Rattata is among one of the first wild Pokémon that a rookie Trainer is bound to encounter. |
Raticate | "The Dungeon is Full of Monsters" from Super Mario RPG | Mostly because Raticate is basically a giant, creepy sewer rat |
Spearow/Fearow | "Wing Fortress" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | It's mainly the middle part of the song that's used to emphasize Fearow being the opposite of Pidgeot. |
Ekans/Arbok | Jace's Arabian Desert theme. | Because it sounds like snake-charming music. |
Pikachu | Pika Cup Battles 1-3 of Pokémon Stadium | It's a fast-paced theme and its for a tournament our beloved Pikachu, what more do you want? |
Raichu | Pika Cup Battles 4-6 of Pokémon Stadium | Mainly to express that Raichu's tougher than Pikachu without a Light Orb. |
Sandshrew/Sandslash | "Teehee Valley" from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga | Because it's a slow, western-sounding desert song. |
Nidoran ♀/Nidorina/Nidoqueen/Nidoran ♂/Nidorino/Nidoking | "Cavern Caprice" from Donkey Kong Country 3 | I dunno, they seem like cave-dwellers to me... |
Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable | "Star Maze" from Super Mario Land 2 | It involves the Clefairy line's association with outer space. Sounds like something that they would dance to during a full moon, right? |
Vulpix/Ninetales | "Thwomp Caverns" from Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time | The song fits the Firefox duo's fiery nature and Ninetales' beauty. |
Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff | "Piranha Plant's Lullaby" from Super Mario 64 | Because they're Pokémon best known for singing you to sleep *yawn* |
Zubat/Golbat/Crobat | "Boss's Level" from Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land | Mostly because they've been used by every evil organization in the Pokémon series. |
Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume | "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" from Super Mario RPG | They're mostly forest-dwelling Pokémon and Vileplume looks like a mushroom. |
Paras/Parasect | "Mushroom Hill Zone" from Sonic & Knuckles | Because they're bugs with Mushroom attached to them. |
Venonat/Venomoth | "Escape from the Woods" from Wario Land | Because it sound like you're in for something long and boring, and Venonat and Venomoth are mostly unimpressive Pokémon. |
