Editorial Reviews

While the inclusion of novelty songster Weird Al Yankovic (here with "Polkamon") and new-waver all-stars the B-52's (here with the playful "The Chosen One") sharpens the proceedings with their individual visions, most of the performers here have been coached by producer David Foster or other music industry veterans. Most successful is former disco diva Donna Summer, who emerges with the dramatic tune "The Power of One," which sneakily includes the Pokémon theme featured throughout the film. Twelve-year-old Alysha may be a burgeoning teen star with her surprisingly mature interpretation of "Dreams." The emphasis is on the current teen-pop trend. Dream Street, Christian boy band Plus One, and O-Town (the band documented in ABC's TV series Making the Band) all serve up the prescribed recipe for success: swooning harmonies, Hallmark-card lyrics, and near-operatic melodies designed for radio. You expected a movie starring Pokémon to miss a trend? C'mon. --Rob O'Connor

Great for Pokémon fanatics.......2006-02-23

Every song on this CD is great for anyone who loves Pokémon and understands how awesome the games are.

LOUSY.......2006-01-08

I'll review each track:

1. Power of One - First track to use the word "one" in its name. Utterly slow. Hey Donna Summer, what happened to disco? 2/10

2. Dreams - Utterly slow. Hey Alysha, you're two years older than me. 1/10

3. They Don't Understand - Utterly bad. Just so you know, Dream Street is broken up. Thus, no more of their whiny songs like this. 1/10

4. Wonderland - Utterly bad and slow. Hey Angela Via, wrong movie soundtrack. 0/10

5. With All Your Heart - Utterly slow. One of the last ever boy bands. When 2001 ended, boy bands died. 1/10

6. So generic, I don't feel like typing in its name. 0/10

7. Flying Without Wings - Utterly slow. If you want Irish bands, check out the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and the Tossers instead. 1/10

8. Pokemon World - Utterly bad. If you're a fan of Youngstown and Nobody's Angel.. you'll still hate this. 0/10

9. Blah Blah Blah - Utterly okay. Who the hell are these people? 4/10

10. Polkamon - Utterly AWESOME! 8/10

11. The Chosen One - Utterly AWESOMER! Also, second track to use the word "one" in its name. 10/10

12. One Heart - Third track to use the word "one" in its title. 0/10

13. One - No, I'm not kidding about this. Its name is "one". 0/10

14. Comin' To - Wow, actual beats. 5/10

15. No. 1/10

16. Legend - Good. 7/10

Grade: 41/160: F-

If you purchase this album, remember to keep tracks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13 VERY seperated, otherwise, you'll never them them apart. Same for 5, 7, and 14.

Mom and Dad approved.......2005-10-15

My Pokemon-obsessed ten year-old borrowed this CD three times at the library. When the renewals were used up I decided to order it for his collection.

What surprised me about this CD was that the whole family didn't mind listening to it over and over in the car. I have a short tolerance level for Pokemon. But this CD has some strong "power ballads", cute pop tunes and the very entertaining Weird Al Polka (everybody Polka mon-get it?) The song "Blah, Blah, Blah" humorously addresses all of the adults who don't understand the obsession.

The production values are good too. Some children's CD's have second rate orchestrations, digital mastering, etc. This is a professional recording.

I only like one song, the rest sucks!.......2005-09-04

"Polkamon" by Weird Al is the only song I like on any Pokemon album. In fact, I think it is the only thing that has anything to do with Pokemon that I really care about anymore. Well, I'll be honest, the game isn't too bad, but the anime is laughably awful, and don't even get me started on the card game. But anyway, I would love Al to re-release "Polkamon" on some collection of rarities in the future. However, other than that, I can't stand the music on here at all. I used to own it, but I tossed it.

It's OK, but could be better.......2005-09-02

It has less top-notch songs compared with the first CD (Pokemon: The First Movie).

Awesome Soundtrack!.......2002-09-24

Hello! My nickname's Flamer so that's what you should call me (at least on the internet). I thought the Pokemon 2000 soundtrack was very interesting. I think it's for Pokemon fans who like Pokemon A LOT! With both songs, "They Don't Understand" and "Blah, Blah, Blah" it gives a chance to show Pokemon fans out there how much they really like it! So here is my rating for each of the songs (out of 10).

1. The Power of One-6
Not a bad song, but personally, I don't think it's the best. It's quite nice and the shorter version of it is at the end of the movie. All in all, it was good.

2. Dreams-9
This was a very good song. Nice tune, good words, etc. I liked the fact that is explained that you can do almost anything if you really try! I totally agree with that!

3. They Don't Understand-7
I liked this one a bit. It says that parents don't understand about Pokemon and sometimes it's right! So there's some truth to this song.

4. Wonderland-10
My favorite song on the whole soundtrack! During this song, listeners can imagine there going to the Pokemon World! At least... that's what I do. Kids who wish Pokemon was real can really think that in this song. "We're going to a Wonderland!" Yeah! We're going to the Pokemon World!

5. With All Your Heart-5
A slow song that I don't hear that often. It's ok, but I don't like it.

6. The Extra Mile-7
The first few times I heard this song, I didn't like it and thought it was too slow, but I grew into it and now it's one of my favorite songs on the track.

7. Flying Without Wings-7
This song was quite nice. It had a nice melody and it was in the end of the movie with a few others. Not a bad song at all.

8. Pokemon World-8
Definately one of the best! It's the theme song for the second season of Pokemon in case you didn't know. It's got great rhythum and a cool tune. A very good song indeed!

9. Blah, Blah, Blah-9
This was a very good song as well. It says that Pokemon fans play their Pokemon games a lot and that their teachers and parents dislike that they play it so much. I think it's a great song and should be heard by lots of Pokemon fans!

10. Polkamon-9
Weird Al Yankovic did a great job here! Mixing polka with Pokemon-what a combanation!

11. The Chosen One-8
At first, I thought it was really weird because all they did was repeat the legend, but later on, I learned to like it and I think the tune on it is great!

12. One Heart-6
Not one of my favorite songs but it's all right. It's a bit slow and doesn't really tell you a message and doesn't have a good melody, but it's ok.

13. One-7
"One" was a reasonable song even though it was slow. It was pretty good and the melody wasn't half bad.

14. Comin' to the Rescue-6
This was a song that I couldn't stand after hearing it several times. I think it's a nice song with good beat and melody, but it's not one the better songs on the soundtrack.

15. Dance of the Bellossom-7
This was a cute song with a lot of Pokemon singing in it. Though it was short, I felt it was really cool. Who would have thought Pokemon could sing (other than Jigglypuff)?

16. The Legend Comes to Life-7
A song that was all right, but hearing it from the movie is way better! You don't get the sound effects of the legendary birds or Lugia or Ash or... you get the point. It's way better on the movie.

Well, see ya for now!

I loved this cd :-).......2001-01-08

I got this cd and I loved it from the first time I heard it. The songs are great and fit the theme and mood of the movie perfectly; The Power of One. The only one that I didn't like was "They Don't Understand" which was too OBVIOUS... However, the other songs were all great, and I listen to the cd all the time, despite my friends' glares :-). This cd is also great if you're one of those people who fell in love with Lugia's Song instantly, (like me,) and watch the movie again and again to hear it. The last track is "The Legend Comes to Life" which is from the end of the movie when Melody plays her ocarina. It's definitely my favorite song EVER. The orchastration is just beautiful, and all of the instruments meld together to form one, breathtaking piece that turns the flute solo into a triumphant.... well, orchestra. Then, the piece smoothly lets the flautist take control at the very end. I guarantee that any pokémon lover would want to make this soundtrack a permenant addition to their collection, and even some no-pokemaniacs will want it. :-)

Some good songs but wired al makes a hit song of polka metting pokemon and what do you get polkamon this was the only song that saves it from being a 1 star cd.
