Pokémon Gives Us A Dose Of Slowpoke Reggae With 'Yadon Ninen Ya no etc.'

You would think my time spent on the internet would have nulled any sense of surprised by now, but apparently not. It's not that Yadon Ninen Ya no etc. is weird per se, it's the fact that I've never correlated Reggae music with Slowpoke. It makes almost too much sense. To make sure that everyone is aware of the perfect match, Pokémon Japan's YouTube channel has uploaded the above music video which seems intent on improving everyone's day.

I will admit, the hordes of staring Slowpoke are a tad unnerving, but the chill accompanying track is destined to put you in a good Friday mood. Kick back and let Slowpoke peer into the depths of your soul, it's not nearly as awful feeling as you would expect.

Snoop Lion Feat. Major Lazer - "Get Away"

Snoop Lion heads into his very own distinct version of Pokemon (Yellow, Red and Green of course) and other retro homages, squaring off against the likes of Major Lazer, who puts up a stiff fight in all the various levels they find themselves in.

While the track sounds distinctly Major Lazer, I was surprised to find out that this is actually from Snoop's latest album, 'Reincarnated,' which I'm now kicking myself in the head for not having listened to it earlier. The music video was directed by Ashten 'Whoopi' Winger and animated by Mykola Dosenko.
