I feel weirdly validated that the only Pokemon music to show up on the Space Funeral Dev's huge curated eclectic music playlist are all from the second gen.
Second gen pokemon music is like nothing else in the series I swear. It's like, the sequel went in a captivatingly melancholic direction that gen 3 decided not to continue. Kind of a shame because I feel like Pokemon is at it's best when it's got a tinge of wistful sadness to it for no particular reason.
