TwitterFacebook

This week, Nintendo unveiled a lot of information about the newest Pokémon games coming to home consoles. 

We know now the eighth generation of games will be Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that they will explore the  region of Galar, and that they will introduce three new starter Pokémon: Sobble, Grookey and Scorbunny.

The internet has swiftly fallen in love with these three adorable babies, and even if you have a clear favorite, you have to admit they’re all fairly cute. But there’s a lot we still don’t know.

This resurfaced video of *NSYNC doing the Pokémon rap is so cringeworthy it’s perfect

TwitterFacebook

The ’90s were a great decade for many reasons, the sheer number of boybands being just one of them.

It was also the decade where we first got into Pokémon, long before they became interactive characters to be caught all over town with your phone in augmented reality. 

A video has now resurfaced combining these two ’90s phenomena, and it’s truly the perfect dose of ’90s nostalgia.

On Twitter, podcaster @DinosaurDracula shared a video that features *NSYNC doing a cover version of the “Pokérap,” a rap song that pretty much just consists of a list of Pokémon names.   Read more…
