Opening Snide Remarks: I heard the OK! Theme from an MP3 on Napster and 
I though "I have to get this CD!" That's right, members of Metallica, Napster
can actually help promote CDs!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Impressions: I knew when I bought the CD that it would only have three songs
on it. What I wasn't prepared for was how small the actually CD was! The CD
itself is a mini-CD, which is the same size the new Gamecube games will ship
on next year. It is very cute, with GS Pokemon shapes decorating it. The
packaging itself was really neat. The CD was in a thin cardboard and plastic
box, which in turn was slipped into a plastic sleeve decorating with pictures
of Ash, Pikachu, Lugia and other Pokemon. It also came with a small folded 
up piece of paper that has lyrics to the songs and instructions on how to
open up the Quicktime video (more on that later on).

Track 1: OK! - The extended version of the Jolt (or as it's known here,
Johto) League theme song played in Japan. It is probably the best song for
the series yet. It sounds like a rock song rather than a theme song. I really
wish they could have translated it for the US TV series.


Track 2: Type: Wild - The English version of the ending song of the Orange
League series. The song is very well translated into English, even using the
name of Pallet Town as Ash's home town. The singer has a very nice voice.

Track 3: OK! Karokie - The Karokie version of OK!, you can either enjoy this
as an instrumental track, or get really liquored up and sing it at a karokie 
bar some night.

Extras: Slide the CD into your computer, and you'll be treated to two
different Quicktime files. One is the music video of Meowth's Party, which
was played as a Gamecube demo back in August. The other is the trailer for
the third Pokemon movie, Lord of the Unknown Tower.

Liked: Everything! From OK to the movie trailer, this is a great buy.

Hated: They should have used a similar mini-cd set up for the Pokemon World
CD that Kids WB! Released last year, since that CD had only 3 songs too.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Improve: I would have liked to have a least a couple more tracks added 
on. Maybe an English version of OK! ?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Final Words: If you are a big Pokemon fan you should get this CD. The 
only other import that I would recommend over this one is the huge Pokemon
Anime Collection

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Score: 94%

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Secrets: You can take the mini-CD around and show it to your friends, then
trick them into thinking that you got the beta version of Pokemon Game Cube.
