Discussion Pokemania hit different than anything since

The 90s and early 00s were a childhood golden age. Between pokemon and mcdonalds play places it was like the entire world was catered to kids. You could go to any store and find pokemon themed suckers, gum, bouncy balls, figurines, then go to the flea market and the cards and games were everywhere. You couldn't escape it at school, everyone had their gameboys or binders out. I want into a music store and this track was playing for the whole store.

The 2 B.A. Master song was such a bop.

I've gotta replace the belts on my 90s Sony tower sometime, right now I can only listen to tapes on a smaller boombox. I mean it has aux out but it's not the same, ya know?

Well I just remember digging through some old stuff, and it had me like "Oh holy shit" I got an old vinyl set up, but nothing cassette far as I'm aware.

I’ve had most of the songs from this soundtrack on regular rotation now, ever since I found this CD in the thrift store 10 years ago.
