Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
From the Flashdance-like opener, "Pokémon Theme," to the closer, "You Can Do It (If You Really Try)," 2.B.A. Master is high-energy fare. This CD sports an over-the-top flavor drawn from video-game-styled electronic blips, disco danceability, and the hollow tripped-out beats of theme-park musicals, all of which makes this super hot stuff for the Pokémon generation. The 13 tunes here are spread between action narrative ("What Kind of Pokémon Are You?," "Together Forever"), scene-setting devices ("Viridian City"), and character theme songs for our hero Ash, his Pokémon Pickachu, and his pal Misty, as well as rival trainers, Team Rocket. "What Kind of Pokémon Are You?" features multitracked rapping and R&B choral refrains; the superlative "2.B.A. Master" bursts with space-age Michael Jackson-inspired speak-singing and electronic riffs; and not only is the funky "PokéRap" featured in audio, but the enhanced disc contains the visual component as well. --Paige La Grone

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Album!, April 1, 2002

By	Satokasu Suki (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This is possibly the best Pokemon album, out! It has the classic theme on it, as well as some new hits. A favourite of mine,
would have to be "Misty's Song" as I'm a huge believer of the budding romance between the main characters, Ash and Misty.
Here's a list of my thoughts, towards each track:

1. Pokemon Theme ~ Well, if you love the Pokemon Theme, I guarentee you'll love the full version!
2. 2 B A Master ~ Awesome track! Very fast paced, and upbeat!
3. Viridian City ~ Awesome melodies in here, and an overall favourite.
4. What Kind of Pokemon Are You? ~ Slow paced compared to "2 B A Master", and very smooth.
5. My Best Friends ~ Personally not a favourite, but if you like the "Pikachu's Jukebox" version, you'll love the full version.
6. Everything Changes ~ A brand new song! Kind of slow paced, but paints an overall view of a Pokemon's Evolution, and
growing in your Pokemon Journey.
7. The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye) ~ Very slow, and sad. But a personal favourite. Easy to learn the lyrics.
8. Pokemon (Dance Mix) ~ It's time to party! With this Dance Mix Track, you can dance the night away!
9. Double Trouble (Team Rocket) ~ If you're a Team Rocket fan, you're bound to love this track. An overall view of stealing
Pikachu, and what would happen if they won above all and scored good with their boss.
10. Together Forever ~ A great melody, great beat, and great lyrics! It's about friendship and having a loyal best friend.
Awesome track.
11. Misty's Song ~ I'd have to say this is my favourite, and for obvious reasons! Misty sings about her secret crush on Ash.
Feelings Revealed! Very sweet, and sappy. ^_^
12. PokeRAP ~ Here we go! Now this is a cool track. Just try to rap off all 150 Pokemon! Can -you- do it?
13. You Can Do It (If You Really Try) ~ This song has a fantastic message, as well as many other tracks on this album. It
teaches you to always believe in yourself, and never doubt yourself; spread your wings and fly.

So overall, all in all, this album is a personal favourite. If you enjoy the show Pokemon, and you're a "true blue" Pokemon fan,
this album is for you!
