Pokemon has always been something of a cultural phenomenon, but with Pokemon GO it has definitely elevated the franchise to a whole new level of popularity, which is why it is understandable that ever since the game’s release, Spotify has seen a surge in streams for Pokemon songs, the theme song in particular.
Now in case you did not know, the Pokemon theme song for the TV series was sung by a certain Jason Paige, and it seems that in celebration of Pokemon GO’s launch and the franchise’s renewed popularity, Paige decided to head back to the studio and re-record the song along with a video recording of him in the process.
The song itself has remained unchanged in terms of the music and the structure, and it seems that Paige’s passion for it has not diminished either as you can see him very enthusiastically react to the song. In fact it sounds so much on point that you could be fooled into thinking that what you’re hearing is the old song.
In any case if you have a few minutes to spare, do check it out. Surprisingly the video has only managed to gain over 500,000 views in about a week, which in all honesty we expected it to be much higher.
