You're in the Lyrics page and you have all these lyrics, so how do you get these songs?  Sure you could download them off the Internet, but I know that all you ethical people out there would never dream of doing that, now would you?  That's where this guide comes in.  The information here should be useful when you're confronted by a tablefull of different Japanese Pokemon CD's and you don't know which one has which song.  This isn't complete by all means, but it is a start. 

The Japanese CD Titles are in RED, the translations of those titles are in GREEN, and the date the CD was released is in BLUE.

A special thanks goes to Japanime for some of the CD images.  You can buy the CD's I have pictures of here on their site, as well as Japanese VHS videos, special trading cards, plushies, and more! 

The Anime Digital:  The Pirate Anime FAQ is a guide to spotting bootleg anime merchandise.  It goes into detail of each type of product (CD, book, toy, clothing, etc) and tells you how to spot a fake and how to tell if it's the real thing.  This is a very useful guide, as bootleg Pocket Monsters stuff is abundant, so be sure to have looked this over before your next trip to the comic store or big anime convention.
