I had a GameBoy Micro as a kid. My family has always been poor even before I was born, the most expensive things I had was probably my textbooks and my school uniform. But one day, when I was 7 years old, one of my more well-off relatives came over, they gave me a GameBoy Micro as a parting gift. And there was already a game loaded into it - Pokémon Emerald. I remember playing it day and night, naming my party after characters from picture books, trying to catch Rayquaza with the standard Poké balls, and winning against the Elite Four with my.. horribly underleveled Blaziken. I'm 17 now. My life's in shambles, my parents broke up, I have to deal with living alone for all the time, I have to work multiple part-time jobs just to pay my tuition, and the girl I loved the most died in a car accident. But, whenever I listen to the Littleroot Town theme, I'm back to when I was 7 years old again, playing Pokémon Emerald on a warm afternoon after finishing my homework. Everything is simple, and problems rare. Nostalgia is a bittersweet feeling.
The way you worded that couldn’t have been any more perfect, Pokémon sure is the best memory I have of my childhood, and I know things will turn out for the better for you just hold on
I’m in Thailand right now and my hotel plays the first few notes of this song every time you reach your floor in the elevator. Nice little unintentional nostalgic touch :)
Over 100 floors in the battle pyramid, hundreds of hours spent wandering Hoenn, you've beaten the League several times, caught God knows how many legendaries and maybe even a few shinies... and yet, at the end of the day, you're still that little boy/girl from Littleroot. This song is so heartwarming.
The older you get, the more tears you drop upon hearing this theme. I missed when I was a 7-year-old, playing this game naively without any worries. I missed when I was a 14-year-old adolescent, playing this game whenever I feel sad. I missed when I was a 20-year-old college student, playing this game right before the prom. I revisited this place when I was 24, the theme drops right when you jumped out of the truck, and it still feels like home. All the nostalgia unfolds like thousand waves of tsunami.... ... ... ... Thank you my Manectric, you are always the lead of the team, jumping out and be the first one to defend, faster than the lightening. Thank you my Breloom, you are as steady as the root of the cypress, guarding the team like oak trees when typhoon hits. Thank you my Swampert, you flow as smooth as streams but has hidden strengths akin to rip tides. You are always our final hope when the rest were out. Thank you my parents, for gifting me the Gameboy so I can have a safe place whenever I feel sad. Sincerely hope everyone who come back here to have better day. You are not alone, take a rest and you will surely get back on your feet. We are all here with you! Cheers mate.
The melancholic peace and joy of remembering a version of yourself that didn't even know what worrying was like. A life that you may find boring today, but that was more than enough at the time. Someone who made naive mistakes, but didn't know what actually fucking up was. The innocence of this song and the memories of this game always bring me to tears.
EDIT: Rest in Peace Dad, thanks for everything. (March 25th 2022) My dad got me Ruby when I was 6 years old. One night, he brought me out for McDonalds, and then came home to eat it. He told me to go wash my hands, and I did. And when I came back, he told me that to look under the napkin holder. Under it was a brand new copy of Pokemon Ruby. I freaked out because I had been wanting Pokemon Ruby since it had come out. Needless to say though, it was a good night. I love my dad.
I remember 7 year old me going back in this town to talk with mom every time I win a gym battle, even though she says the same thing over and over 7 year old me pretend she was proud, nostalgic
Same here. I just started playing emerald a while back (1-2 months) and I get this strong feeling of nostalgia whenever I listen to this. My heart just gets all warm and fuzzy, and I feel as if I could cry.
To everyone in this comments section, whether you had a great or traumatic childhood, had both, 1 or no parents, plenty of friends or none, all kinds of brothers and sisters or an only child, public school or homeschooled, my heart shares this place with you. Life has scattered us worldwide, but Littleroot town will always be there to welcome us home. I love you all so dearly and I am proud of you all, yall deserve unconditional love and affection 💜
We were so poor we barely eat 3 times a day, I remember seeing my childhood friend playing this game and he sometimes let me play his gameboy. I remembered him creating my own profile for me. Now, I don't know where he is or what's he doing, but I hope he's doing well. Just finished the game again in my phone using emulator, I'm feeling a little depressed hearing this theme again it reminds me of my childhood a lot if not define it. I wish to go back again to see myself being happy with those days, I just can't find happiness in what I do today. Stay safe y'all.

I want to go back so badly. I can’t handle the weight of life anymore. I miss being so carefree and innocent, It’s so easy to be misunderstood and taken for granted now. I miss my old life so much.
This was my birds favorite song. I used to play it for him for hours so he could sing along. This morning we buried him in the backyard underneath a tree. Playing this one last time for him and god is this song bittersweet.
My second son was born this past 8-22-22 and it was a C-section and I’m telling you, I was terrified to go to the OR to see his birth but before they came and got me, I kept playing this song on repeat to calm me and damn did it work! Both mom and baby are healthy and home now! I even gave him his middle name: Drake. From the hoenn elite 4. You tough son of a gun, you made the game hard to beat when I first played and I’ll never forget how happy I was when I finally beat you and you showed me my love for dragon and water Pokémon. Now my baby boy will carry that name and I hope he’s just as badass as you are.
Thank you guys! Baby has been healthy and strong ! I gave him a dragonite plushie that goes everywhere with him, working on getting him a shelgon so he can stay true to that Drake name lmao 😂
Im leaving for college tomorrow and I cried like a little kid when I listened to this because thats all I am. Just a little kid who doesnt want to grow up yet.
I was 6-5 when I first played Pokémon. My parents had just divorced, I hated every second of living somewhere new. Me and my mom lived in a little apartment and I hated it so much. We went to target and I found this game and begged her for it. Eventually I got it and it was the best thing my little mind at the time saw. I got so distracted from all of the horrible stuff in my life because when I played that game, it always was an escape from my awful life. I’m older now, every time I hear this song I like to think about how I could just ignore all my problems. Unfortunately it will never be the same. I still have the DS and the game, it just goes to show you that you don’t know what you have until it is gone. My life sucked but every minute playing that game made it just a little better. Thank you Gamefreak
0:36-0:53 really hits that hard right? it's like the song is telling you that you've come a long way and all of your sacrifices will soon bear fruit. :(
@@Better_Clean_Than_Green I feel like it would be the song for that too. But we can always think positively! Some people could have been saved from suicide because of this song too.
I miss my grandmom.. she always gets me food when I'm playing this game...now she's just gone 4 months ago.. I'm so heartbreaking and crying so hard right now hearing this makes me feel like a warm family that I once ever had.. all my family members gather together to eat dinner,eat food, say happy birthday to me I won't be feeling the same way anymore... I'm so faraway from my family because I'm studying this medicine faculty which ruins my free time so much that I couldn't have time to visit my family
+Artix Silver me too ;( reminds me of those days when im 8 holding a gameboy playing alone at night with my 6 favourite pokemons like my only friends .. this song is tearing me apart T.T
My dad died when I was 6 and never knew the pain I had stored of my dad's death until I played this game. I cried when I finished the game cause I realized this game comforted me through those rough times. Whenever I started feeling sad, I would fire up my Gameboy and played this. Thank you, Gamefreak, for making this game. I would have been in a worse spot if I didnt discover this game.
I'm 23, it's 2024 and this is still my home. Somehow, listening to this song makes me as careless as I was back then, when I don't give a damn about adulthood..
funkychild21 True ;) I remember the old days, playing this awesome game, even now, with the new generation coming up, I dont want to let my old Pokemon go, It s awesome to get a remake but also sad from the old times
Alex Jasin I ended up losing my copy. Swampert was my first level 100 pokemon and I remember I used to make clones and trade it to my friends. I don't get the same feeling playing pokemon anymore. X and Y didn't grab my attention for too much time. Hopefully the remakes recapture my interest in the newer pokemon games. :)
Ah, its sad to lose old things you like, good job on getting that Lv. 100 Swampert though! I was too young to be a pro Pokemon gamer like you, but I ended up beating the Elite 4 and the Champion when I was 4. X and Y was a cool and beautiful game, but I didnt like the 3D character designs and all that, but it was cool to experience the Pokemon world from a whole new view.
Alex Jasin I was far from being a pro! x) I was around 8 I think. I remember just earthquaking everything with my Swampert lol. Good times. Gosh I wish I was a child again. No worries about anything.
I remember me and my brother playing Ruby & Emerald all the time when we were kids. It's painful that he's no longer alive but this song makes me remember the good times.
My brother and I played Ruby and Emerald alternately because we only have 1 gameboy console. :)) I’m sorry about what happened to your brother, rip. All the best xo
I'm 29 turning 30 this year and whenever I hear this music, it makes me go back to my childhood when I could sit on my couch playing this on my GBA advance all day. Now that I have a 9-month-old baby, I will introduce this game to him when he is ready.
31 years old, September 19, 2021, 8:57AM IST Still listening... I still remember my Ralts, Vigoroth, Groudon, Sceptile, Golem and Skamory Favorite moves I never forget: Calm Mind, Double Team, Bulk Up, Slash, Earthquake
@@SMCwasTaken Not even close, alot of pokemon town themes can beat it, cuz luma theme feels more of a lullaby and there's atleast 1-2 lullaby-like theme song in every pokemon game towns.
@@SMCwasTaken I've played alot of games since I was a kid, but nothing beats pokemon town themes, it hits right in the feels man, especially littleroot town theme song, the most nostalgic and soothing hometown theme there could be.
@@SMCwasTaken My first Pokemon games was pokemon fire red and leaf green but this littleroot town theme song from pokemon ruby/sapphire/emerald hits the hardest, goes to show it's the best hometown theme song of all pokemon games no doubt, and the most nostalgic and peaceful as well.
Reading comments talking about their nostalgic memories while listening to this theme mades my heart soft and reminds my good ol days too. Oh Time really flies so fast without knowing it buddy
I really can't remember the game storylines since its so stressful here in college,i actually heard this song from my brother playing on his phone,i ask him:what is that sound? I feel like I heard it before, and then hes said "oh its from pokemon" and i search for the song now the flashbacks starts...time really flies so fast.
I’m turning 30 this year and remembering playing Pokémon Ruby on summer evenings honestly feels like it could have been just a few years ago. When you really start to look back with adult eyes, things feel really strange.
Im now a first year college. Man, I searched for this, i didnt know it'll make me cry. I miss my young self, sleeping at night excited to wake up early then eat my egg sandwich breakfast while playing my gameboy. Gosh, life's been not great lately, i really wish i could turn back time. Little did I know that the heavy bag I used to carry for school is the lightest problem I'll ever have.
Never played Pokemon before. Just got this handheld emulator thing with every Pokemon game to exist on GB and GBA etc. Ruby is the first one I decided to try. It's so addicting right now.
Yeah, Swampert, remember where I took you out of the ball to fight the raccoon that the adult man couldn't kick away and then we left never to see that place again? Me neither.
I mean I'm only 14 and I only started experiencing pokemon like 6 months ago with Sword and Shield. I don't really like the show or cards and I can't play any other pokemon games cuz I only have a switch. I forgot where I was going with this
Ye man it has been 8 years and i remember when i was a little 6 year old kid just catching some pokémons and when i listened to this i got teared up and it reminds me of my childhood wherein there are no problems in life..
Pure nostalgic bliss. I remember my brother, whom is 22 now, playing his Red version when I was just a kiddy kid, no more than 4 years old. He would let me dabble with it every now and then, but I liked watching him play more. We did the same old song and dance for Crystal version. My first real Pokemon game that I had to myself was Sapphire. I played Red version shortly after that. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 at the time. Whenever I hear any of the music from the first 3 Pokemon generation my heart drops and the feels come in like someone opened the flood gates to my childhood memories. Red and Blue version have the greatest effect on me for some reason, despite me not playing them first. This June, I turn 18. I cannot believe I'm growing up so fast. Yet, these old melodies, simple, powerful, and so full of emotion, they always make me tingle. No matter if I'm happy, sad, homesick, or heartbroken, Pokemon music give me goosebumps of absolute bliss. Littleroot Town was my first step into my own personal Pokemon world and I'll never forget it.
Bro I just... can't handle this song. I played Pokemon Emerald on my game boy advance when I was 6 years old, and it's been my favorite of the series ever since. When I hear this song, I can't hold back my tears because it reminds me of so much all at once, and the memories and feelings overwhelm me. I'm 22 now, (god it feels weird to type that out already) and I still can never forget this song. When I hear this song, it reminds me of home, my parents, my friends from elementary school, playing pokemon all day and reading book after book in the library. I had a concept of the world as infallible - this was how things were, always would be, and it couldn't be any other way. My faith in the world, in others, and in the goodness of the world was... well, I couldn't even consider questioning it as a kid. This song hits me like a bag of bricks, as I consider how I view the world now versus how kid me saw it, and the tears never stop coming. I just want to go back.
samee, i literally cant handle this song , ma childhood era playing all game that japan made like this poke emerald one is the best era of ma life journey
Back then I didn't care if my gyarados was admant or if my starter had the secret ability, I just enjoyed every second of it and innocently spent my best years playin those games. Thank you Gamefreak :)
"You look tired, you should rest a bit" Thanks, mom. Growing up is harder than we thought. You'll realize that world is even more cruel when you grow up. Thank you for always being there since we were kids. You gave us a home we never thought we need. When we're too tired of all the things thats happening around us, all the pain and sadness that life throws at us, we'll always come back here, to rest a bit. Thank you for giving us a resting place, mom. We'll see you again, soon. I hope kids today will have the same home that we had, like the one here in Littleroot. Stay strong, brothers and sisters. ✊🏻
I always come back to this song when I'm having a hard time, because I remember starting my first Pokémon game, Sapphire, and those were the happiest times of my life. Cheesy as that maybe, I can really never picture my life without Pokémon, and this song summarizes the happiness Pokémon brought to me.
Wow that was really heartwarming :) I started my journey in Johto, but spent most of my days in Hoenn on my ruby version. Back then it was just me and couple friends hanging out, trading and finding legendary pokemons (Regirock was my favorite) ..and just having a genuinely awesome time. You're right, those days were some of the happiest I've ever been, lol I know it sounds cheesy but its true. Especially this theme in littleroot town where we all started haha. God I love this so much, it makes me want to cry
Sometimes I just want a gameboy advance, a pokemon game, and stay at home in a calm and sunny afternoon... Life wont never be the same... Time pass, it never goes back... Sad but true.
My dad got me this game when I was kid and it was my favorite. He pass away 3 year ago so sometimes i come here to relax for some reason it just make me happy
Whoever is reading this and having nostalgia, same bro, same. I hope your life is great, happiness and know that I'm here for you no matter what, we pokemon family. ❤
That feel when you will never play Pokemon for the first time again.

I’m older now, every time I hear this song I like to think about how I could just ignore all my problems. Unfortunately it will never be the same. I still have the DS and the game, it just goes to show you that you don’t know what you have until it is gone. My life sucked but every minute playing that game made it just a little better. Thank you Gamefreak
Thank you for telling this
damn you were tall i was like 5-6
Thanks for sharing , hope all is well
26. I'll blink, wake up, and be 35.
Hits me man I was 10 when I first played this, now 28. Feels like yesterday sometimes

The fact a verified person commented this and barely has any likes or replies (I’m the 5th) just makes me sad
0:36-0:53 really hits that hard right?
it's like the song is telling you that you've come a long way and all of your sacrifices will soon bear fruit. :(
this song hits hard, so nostalgic 😔
It's kinda beautiful how this one simple song is like a public therapy lesson for anyone
A therapist tends to always want to reach for your inner child. Its the root of everything good about human nature.
Or sometimes the quite opposite. I could imagine a suicidal person would listen to it before kicking the chair :(
@@Better_Clean_Than_Green I feel like it would be the song for that too. But we can always think positively! Some people could have been saved from suicide because of this song too.
I cannot express the amount and diversity of emotions this song brings out of me.
I miss my grandmom.. she always gets me food when I'm playing this game...now she's just gone 4 months ago.. I'm so heartbreaking and crying so hard right now hearing this makes me feel like a warm family that I once ever had.. all my family members gather together to eat dinner,eat food, say happy birthday to me I won't be feeling the same way anymore... I'm so faraway from my family because I'm studying this medicine faculty which ruins my free time so much that I couldn't have time to visit my family
I'm sorry that I never had this problems before
Just quit man do what makes you happy
That's sad to hear...
My condolences...
So how are you now?

Nope, Kalos Was, Has, and always will be my home.
One of the best soundtracks in a pokemon game history. This is legendary.
Gamefreak’s ability to make songs that make you feel nostalgic for games you weren’t even around to experience is incredible
This game makes my hearts skip beats and I tear up. It makes me feel nostalgic and I wasn’t even born when this game came out.
I was 10 when started playing it, now 28. Feels like yesterday sometimes
excuse me.. Tearing up a bit.
+Artix Silver :)
+Artix Silver me too ;( reminds me of those days when im 8 holding a gameboy playing alone at night with my 6 favourite pokemons like my only friends .. this song is tearing me apart T.T
This. Memories of long gone youth. Gets me too.
along time when I was 5 playing this, now a older
😩😩😩😩 good times
My dad died when I was 6 and never knew the pain I had stored of my dad's death until I played this game. I cried when I finished the game cause I realized this game comforted me through those rough times. Whenever I started feeling sad, I would fire up my Gameboy and played this. Thank you, Gamefreak, for making this game. I would have been in a worse spot if I didnt discover this game.
Oh I feel very sad for your dad. May he rest in peace 😢
I feel you, I know the pain of losing a family member.
May He Rest peacefully.
what was your team?
I feel your pain….I lost mine too…and this song just brings me pain to my soul
So sorry to hear about your loss. This game really is a beauty to put a smile on your face during tough times. God bless you buddy 💛 ✝️
Visual Boy Advance really made me happy...
I'm 23, it's 2024 and this is still my home. Somehow, listening to this song makes me as careless as I was back then, when I don't give a damn about adulthood..
This soundtrack hits different when you’ve just beaten the champion and you spawn back here when you reenter the game
Liek if u cry evrytime.
It's so hard not to get tears in my eyes :)
funkychild21 True ;) I remember the old days, playing this awesome game, even now, with the new generation coming up, I dont want to let my old Pokemon go, It s awesome to get a remake but also sad from the old times
Alex Jasin I ended up losing my copy. Swampert was my first level 100 pokemon and I remember I used to make clones and trade it to my friends. I don't get the same feeling playing pokemon anymore. X and Y didn't grab my attention for too much time. Hopefully the remakes recapture my interest in the newer pokemon games. :)
Ah, its sad to lose old things you like, good job on getting that Lv. 100 Swampert though! I was too young to be a pro Pokemon gamer like you, but I ended up beating the Elite 4 and the Champion when I was 4. X and Y was a cool and beautiful game, but I didnt like the 3D character designs and all that, but it was cool to experience the Pokemon world from a whole new view.
Alex Jasin I was far from being a pro! x) I was around 8 I think. I remember just earthquaking everything with my Swampert lol. Good times. Gosh I wish I was a child again. No worries about anything.
20 years later and yet this somehow always makes it feel like just yesterday...
One of the best Pokémon themes
I remember me and my brother playing Ruby & Emerald all the time when we were kids. It's painful that he's no longer alive but this song makes me remember the good times.
rip
My brother and I played Ruby and Emerald alternately because we only have 1 gameboy console. :)) I’m sorry about what happened to your brother, rip. All the best xo
Stay strong man
Stay strong man
Rest in peace for you brother ❤️
Some times i cry when i hear this music.. . nostalgia
Same here. I remember falling in love with this tune when i was a kid and recorded it on my phone recorder and listen to it at night before i sleep.
Same it's so lovely it also emotional when it beat the game and hear it
i played the remake, total nostalgic overload, because i played the original when i was a kid.
baby
Joao Mendes sapphire was my very first Pokémon game ever I could remember this music and skitty was my first favorite Pokémon and still is
I'm 29 turning 30 this year and whenever I hear this music,
it makes me go back to my childhood when I could sit on my couch playing this on my GBA advance all day.
Now that I have a 9-month-old baby, I will introduce this game to him when he is ready.
Dang. Nostalgia hits hard. My first pokemon game will forever be in my heart.
So true bro

The competition for this one is the luma theme from mario galaxy
@@SMCwasTaken Not even close, alot of pokemon town themes can beat it, cuz luma theme feels more of a lullaby and there's atleast 1-2 lullaby-like theme song in every pokemon game towns.
@@SMCwasTaken I've played alot of games since I was a kid, but nothing beats pokemon town themes, it hits right in the feels man, especially littleroot town theme song, the most nostalgic and soothing hometown theme there could be.
@@SMCwasTaken My first Pokemon games was pokemon fire red and leaf green but this littleroot town theme song from pokemon ruby/sapphire/emerald hits the hardest, goes to show it's the best hometown theme song of all pokemon games no doubt, and the most nostalgic and peaceful as well.
Bros, everytime I hear this I get tears of joy 🥺😢
Reading comments talking about their nostalgic memories while listening to this theme mades my heart soft and reminds my good ol days too. Oh Time really flies so fast without knowing it buddy
It made me teared up so bad man wishing i could turn back the good old times
I really can't remember the game storylines since its so stressful here in college,i actually heard this song from my brother playing on his phone,i ask him:what is that sound? I feel like I heard it before, and then hes said "oh its from pokemon" and i search for the song now the flashbacks starts...time really flies so fast.
yeah.. been 15++ years already
Just turned 16 a few days ago and it's I'm really scared of growing up too fast 😩
I’m turning 30 this year and remembering playing Pokémon Ruby on summer evenings honestly feels like it could have been just a few years ago. When you really start to look back with adult eyes, things feel really strange.

I’m turning 26 in 5 days which is October 15 I still love to come here and listen to this song and reminisce about the good old days
When we were playing this game we didn't realise we were building memories , we were just having fun

i miss the old days, 2014
I’ve played gen 1-5. This one is by far the best and most iconic pokemon hometown theme. It hits all the right notes 🎶
Im now a first year college. Man, I searched for this, i didnt know it'll make me cry. I miss my young self, sleeping at night excited to wake up early then eat my egg sandwich breakfast while playing my gameboy. Gosh, life's been not great lately, i really wish i could turn back time. Little did I know that the heavy bag I used to carry for school is the lightest problem I'll ever have.
carry on bro. here's the spoiler, you'll be okay.
hope ur doing well king
nah bro use a duffel bag instead
they're not only lighter, they're more reliable
i hope you're doing better now
@@doodlesyoru2108 he went to school in his childhood

It's been 14 years, yet it's still good like back then. It never loses this magical feeling called nostalgia.
ye true : D feels sad and happy at the same time :/
Me :)
This sound is so nostalgic 💙 that feeling that you know.. You can ways come home. 🧡
This hits hard
My cousin played this on piano to me who NEVER played pokemon. But yeah, sure !
I miss my mom...RIP
Never played Pokemon before. Just got this handheld emulator thing with every Pokemon game to exist on GB and GBA etc. Ruby is the first one I decided to try. It's so addicting right now.
Same here in playing this game in phone ,
This takes me back to 2005 when I got emerald when I was 6 and a half, man I sure do miss being a kid.
This game was the first game which I bought on day one xD. Good days^^
same dude I was 6 when I played this everyday at school, now I'm turning 18 in 3 months...
Swampert Tube Yup
Same bro, I was also at around 6 at that time, emerald was the first game my parents bought me along with my Gameboy
same dude but i was 9 then
Swampert!We're coming home!
And my Sceptile)))
Don't forget blaziken
Yeah, Swampert, remember where I took you out of the ball to fight the raccoon that the adult man couldn't kick away and then we left never to see that place again? Me neither.
this song is my childhood
Man, time sure flies quicker than we thought
Today kids won’t experience the love and passion we had for this game
I used to play this game on an emulator. I used to find rare pokémons on grass using cheat codes.
I mean I'm only 14 and I only started experiencing pokemon like 6 months ago with Sword and Shield. I don't really like the show or cards and I can't play any other pokemon games cuz I only have a switch. I forgot where I was going with this
Ye man it has been 8 years and i remember when i was a little 6 year old kid just catching some pokémons and when i listened to this i got teared up and it reminds me of my childhood wherein there are no problems in life..
Man im crying...
Well I'm 14 and when I was 6 I watched walkthroughs on the game I finally got a emulator on my phone and finally felt true enlightenment
Pure nostalgic bliss.
I remember my brother, whom is 22 now, playing his Red version when I was just a kiddy kid, no more than 4 years old. He would let me dabble with it every now and then, but I liked watching him play more. We did the same old song and dance for Crystal version. My first real Pokemon game that I had to myself was Sapphire. I played Red version shortly after that. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 at the time.
Whenever I hear any of the music from the first 3 Pokemon generation my heart drops and the feels come in like someone opened the flood gates to my childhood memories. Red and Blue version have the greatest effect on me for some reason, despite me not playing them first.
This June, I turn 18. I cannot believe I'm growing up so fast. Yet, these old melodies, simple, powerful, and so full of emotion, they always make me tingle. No matter if I'm happy, sad, homesick, or heartbroken, Pokemon music give me goosebumps of absolute bliss.
Littleroot Town was my first step into my own personal Pokemon world and I'll never forget it.
:)
This
I'm 27. Imagine that lol I still get the feels
Amen to that Brother.. i had EXACTLY the same Story in my Childhood.. now iam 25.. let that sink in :'(

Very nostalgiac and sweet :')

Can’t hold my tears WHYYY!?
Im Crying Of Nostalgia
Bro I just... can't handle this song. I played Pokemon Emerald on my game boy advance when I was 6 years old, and it's been my favorite of the series ever since. When I hear this song, I can't hold back my tears because it reminds me of so much all at once, and the memories and feelings overwhelm me. I'm 22 now, (god it feels weird to type that out already) and I still can never forget this song. When I hear this song, it reminds me of home, my parents, my friends from elementary school, playing pokemon all day and reading book after book in the library. I had a concept of the world as infallible - this was how things were, always would be, and it couldn't be any other way. My faith in the world, in others, and in the goodness of the world was... well, I couldn't even consider questioning it as a kid. This song hits me like a bag of bricks, as I consider how I view the world now versus how kid me saw it, and the tears never stop coming.
I just want to go back.
samee, i literally cant handle this song , ma childhood era playing all game that japan made like this poke emerald one is the best era of ma life journey
I was 6 too! But started with sapphire!
Back then I didn't care if my gyarados was admant or if my starter had the secret ability, I just enjoyed every second of it and innocently spent my best years playin those games. Thank you Gamefreak :)
Damn man, same, when I hardly could beat the second gym, good times

The good old days of Pokémon. After School you are getting Home and Play This beautiful Game. The Nostalgia Hits Hard.
After all these years, i'm still playing it.
"You look tired, you should rest a bit"
Thanks, mom. Growing up is harder than we thought. You'll realize that world is even more cruel when you grow up. Thank you for always being there since we were kids. You gave us a home we never thought we need. When we're too tired of all the things thats happening around us, all the pain and sadness that life throws at us, we'll always come back here, to rest a bit. Thank you for giving us a resting place, mom. We'll see you again, soon.
I hope kids today will have the same home that we had, like the one here in Littleroot.
Stay strong, brothers and sisters. ✊🏻

@@samuraiofthesea2949True
I read this in the "are you winning son" rap flow
I always come back to this song when I'm having a hard time, because I remember starting my first Pokémon game, Sapphire, and those were the happiest times of my life. Cheesy as that maybe, I can really never picture my life without Pokémon, and this song summarizes the happiness Pokémon brought to me.
Wow that was really heartwarming :) I started my journey in Johto, but spent most of my days in Hoenn on my ruby version. Back then it was just me and couple friends hanging out, trading and finding legendary pokemons (Regirock was my favorite) ..and just having a genuinely awesome time.
You're right, those days were some of the happiest I've ever been, lol I know it sounds cheesy but its true. Especially this theme in littleroot town where we all started haha. God I love this so much, it makes me want to cry
Come back again after 5 years. You too Tio :)

That's why I'm here too lmao
yea my first thought too lol
Pokemon Ruby was my First pokemon game i ever played. Iam literally crying right now😢😢
Sometimes I just want a gameboy advance, a pokemon game, and stay at home in a calm and sunny afternoon... Life wont never be the same... Time pass, it never goes back... Sad but true.
My dad got me this game when I was kid and it was my favorite. He pass away 3 year ago so sometimes i come here to relax for some reason it just make me happy
I'm really sorry to hear that. Wish you the best bro! Stay strong! 💞🤗
Whoever is reading this and having nostalgia, same bro, same. I hope your life is great, happiness and know that I'm here for you no matter what, we pokemon family. ❤
