It’s no secret that Sam Hart holds a passion for video games, and his latest digitally interactive inspiration comes from the gigantic Nintendo franchise of Pokemon. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly well informed of the ways of the Pokeverse, so I couldn’t fully grasp an appreciation of this track – but I’m sure many of you will. The whole ordeal kind of reminds me of Jason Seagel’s Dracula production in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I had a dream about a musical based on the episode of Pokemon where Ash considers making Pikachu evolve into Raichu using the thunderstone. I woke up and wrote this song.
