Synopsis

Amazon.com
Pokémon fever continues to burn hot, as evidenced by this catching symptom: a high-octane pop soundtrack for the animated television series. Dream teen group Johto borrow from the elements that make Backstreet Boys, Britney, Christina, and 'N Sync sensationally popular, repackaging their sound Pokémon-style for young audiences. A cross between Up with People, Hanson, and a latter-day Mickey Mouse Club, Totally Pokémon opens with "Pokémon Johto" the syrupy pop jingle that opens the television show each Saturday morning. The record's first single, "Pikachu (I Choose You)," is an infectiously buoyant Latin-tinged dance number, and "He Drives Me Crazy" is a youthfully crushed-out ballad in celebration of series protagonist Ash Ketchum. Included here too are seven bonus karaoke tracks (lyrics are printed inside the disc liner), and while adults may grow weary of these songs, those with Pikachu-obsessed children can rest assured that Totally Pokémon is clean, fun, and goofy enough to include a tune called "Song of Jigglypuff." --Paige La Grone

CD Reviews

A Fun CD!
Fox | Goldenrod City, the Pokémon World | 10/17/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"An enjoyable CD that everyone can listen to, especially children. Since it's a 2001 release, it is mostly consistent with the Pop music phenomenon of that time, although not entirely Pop-oriented.



1. "Pokémon Johto": the theme song for the third season of the TV series, "The Johto Journeys." A song with a happier tone than the original "Pokémon Theme" from the first television season, and the album, "2.B.A. Master." [5 Stars]



2. "Pikachu (I Choose You)": an upbeat Latin-style song. It has a nice guitar and trumpet solo. [4 Stars]



3. "All We Wanna Do": a very nice song to dance to. Good lyrics coupled with some nice synthesizers. Slightly Pop-oriented. [4 Stars]



4. "The Game": a song that can get somewhat redundant after a while, although the chorus is a nice catchy tune. [3.4 Stars]



5. "He Drives Me Crazy": a song performed by, supposedly the character Misty, although the lead singer sounds nothing like the character. Could be considered Pop-oriented. [3.8 Stars]



6. "You and Me and Pokémon": a very nice song with good lyrics, and good singers. My personal favorite. [5 Stars]



7. "Biggest Part of My Life": definitely not my favorite here. It would be a good song, except for the lyrics, which seem to idolize the whole Pokémon idea. [2 Stars]



8. "Do Ya Really Wanna Play": an okay song that is the most Pop-oriented one on this disc. [3 Stars]



9. "Song of Jigglypuff": a relaxing song with Jigglypuff singing solo in places. [4 Stars]



10 "Two Perfect Girls": a song sure to put a smile on your face. It is a Late '50s style song that is performed by Eric Stuart, the voice-actor of the character Brock (Stuart has a few other albums out by his group, "The Eric Stuart Band," not of this style music, however). [5 Stars]



11. "Never Too Far From Home": a nice slow ballad with good lyrics. [4 Stars]



12. "PokéRap GS": the new version of the original "PokéRap" heard in the album "2.B.A. Master." Even though it by no means outdoes its predecessor, it has some good overall lyrics. It can get redundant after a while, though. [3 Stars]



13-19: Various karaoke tracks from the original songs.



Overall, this album isn't quite as good as its predecessor, "2.B.A. Master," but it has a few better songs to it. Pokémon fans of any age should like this CD's fun songs and overall carefree tone."
I Love It!

"This is a great CD! I really love it and hope you will too, as this CD was made for Pokemon Nuts like me!



1. Pokemon Johto: An inspirational song about discovering new places and stuff!



2. Pikachu! I Choose You!: A song with a Latin beat and I like it! It's all about meeting Pikachu and stuff! Piakchu rules!



3. All We Wanna Do: Also very inspirational about being yourself and having fun with life!



4. The Game: It's a good song, about being a Pokemon Master and making it all the way!



5. He Drives Me Crazy: This is my personal favorite! It's about Misty's secret crssh on Ash, but it's also kind of a love song.



6. You and Me and Pokemon: About becoming friends with Pokemon and stuff. Great song! Also a favorite!



7. Biggest Part of My Life: About how training Pokemon has become a big part of life! I like this one too!



8. Do You Really Wanna Play?: Great song! I like it.



9. Song of Jigglypuff: Jiggly, jiggly! Nice song!



10. 2 Perfect Girls: I LOVE this song!



11. Never Too Far From Home: About always knowing that whatever you choose to do, your family and pals are behind you all the way!



12. PokeRap: Cool song, upbeat and, well, cool!

The karaoke versions: If you know the words I say, why not? Sing it!



Side note: These songs are very inspirational! Play them when you're feeling down. They cheer me up no matter what!"
