A far cry from normal: The strangest Pokemon cries from Gen. 1 - 7

by Blake Chapman The Pokemon series is a very strange set of games. You play as a ten-year-old (or sometimes slightly older) boy or girl that willingly journeys into the forests, oceans and caves of an unfamiliar country discovering unnatural creatures. After battling said creature until their life force is weakened a substantial amount, you capture them in a small spherical object, train them in battles with other small mammalia and work your way throughout the world defeating other trainers and proving you “wanna be the very best”. Though this premise sounds pretty sinister when you do not take into account the vibrant colors, intricate R.P.G. gameplay and excellent music there are still plenty of strange encounters every player experiences. One of those creepy entries are the calls and cries that almost 800 Pokemon make when first finding them in the wild. There are some though that dance the line between realistic and downright ridiculous more than any other.
