A dedicated Pokemon fan recently demonstrated their devotion to the series by creating a cappella rendition of the background music and sound effects from the Kanto region. The fan’s a cappella recreation of the game will probably evoke pleasant memories for those who enjoyed the original Pokemon and the earliest Pokemon video games.
The Kanto region and Gen 1 pocket monsters appear to have a particular spot in the Pokemon fandom. The Gen 1 starters are frequently recreated by fans and included in current Pokemon video games. Others have favorite Pokemon from the first generation, and their devotion to these characters is evident in the community’s profusion of fanworks circulated online. Given Kanto’s recognizable Pokemon, it is no surprise that a fan would go above and beyond and create Cappella music based on the BGM.
User chrislombardiacapella shared a brief video clip on TikTok in which they performed a cappella rendition of the game’s distinctive sound effects and background music for the Kanto region. Alongside the gameplay of Pokemon Red or Blue, the TikTok user can be seen in the video making sounds using only their vocal cords.
Fans will probably recognize the music that plays in the background throughout Route 4 and the change in music that occurs when they enter the well-known Kanto region Cerulean City. The music effects for when the player enters the Pokemon Center to heal their roster are likewise provided by Chrislombardiacapella.
The Kanto region and Generation 1 make the TikTok user feel the most nostalgic. And evidence of this can be found in the wide range of Cappella compositions they have produced based on Pokemon Red or Blue. On their TikTok account, background music for the eerie Lavender Town in the Kanto area and sound effects for coming across wild Pokemon in the thick grass and for different Pokemon evolving are available.
