The Pokemon series is popular with gamers for many reasons; for example, it has a wide selection of catchy music tracks. With each new generation of Pokemon games comes a new group of songs for players to listen to as they catch, train, and battle with Pokemon. These iconic themes have stuck with many passionate players over the years. One of those classic songs is the Poke Mart theme.
The Poke Mart is a shop found throughout many games in the Pokemon franchise. Along with selling a number of items to trainers, a catchy tune plays while shopping in the store. While there are various arrangements of the theme played in different installments in the series, they each feature the same recognizable melody that nostalgic fans have come to love. One Pokemon fan recently decided to play this song in an unusual location.
Taking to Reddit, a user known as Kairu-Hikarite shared a video from their time at work. However, this was no ordinary clip, as the Reddit user revealed that they had discovered a clever way to make working at the store more enjoyable. The video started with Kairu-Hikarite showing a 3DS displaying a Poke Mart. However, as the camera was pulled back, they revealed that they had plugged an audio jack into the handheld console. Suddenly, the pleasant melody of the Poke Mart theme, presumably the arrangement from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, could be heard playing throughout the store as the Pokemon fan panned the camera around their workspace.
Unsurprisingly, this unique solution to boost work ethic gained the approval of numerous members of the Pokemon community on Reddit. The clip has gained more than 9,600 upvotes in only a few hours. Among the comments, many said they would love to go to a convenience store that played this type of Pokemon music. Interestingly, Kairu-Hikarite was not the only person who had played game music at work. In addition, another user noted that they had done a similar thing where they worked except with The Legend of Zelda Potion Shop theme instead.
While classic tracks, such as this Poke Mart theme, are doubtlessly exciting to hear for many fans, it will be interesting to see what new songs the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have to offer. While the games do not release until November 18, gamers have already learned that Toby Fox, famous for his work on Undertale, is composing tracks for the upcoming games. It will be interesting to see if Kairu-Hikarite decides to play any music from these games in the convenience store they work at when the titles release later this year.
