It's on the Pokémon movie soundtrack. The title of Al's song is a play on words, which is why it is called Polkamon, but the game is spelled Pokémon. Just thought I'd point that out.

Oh ok! I thought that was how the game was spelled. Shows you how much I know.

No worries, sweets. I'll just have to do my duty as an anime freak and expose you to more anime (not necessarily Pokemon).

But it helps me bond with my daughter. Consequently, there are approximatley 382 present "pocket monsters" that are now in existence. My daughter's gameboy tells me #27 is a sandshrew. It is a ground attack monster that looks like a hedgehog with the spikes shave off.

Yep! #27 is a Sandshrew.

Anyone notice that Al mentions Ditto twice in the song?

Posted: **Thu Jan 13, 2005 1:55 am**

Yep, I did.

But, I think it's more of a joke than a mistake, considering what ditto means.

Woah I never noticed that.

I'm slow, lol.

*runs away to listen*

Actually, according to the daughter's book, "Dittoe only ability is transform, which converts Ditto into the opposing monster. " So maybe Al was doing it intentionally.

Wha? He does? *Goes to look at lyrics*
You're right! Well, ain't that just sneaky, now?
