Just about every line in the song features the name of a Pokémon used in a pun or other play on words. The Pokémon used all seem to be based solely on their names

As no official breakdown of the song has ever been provided what follows is an educated guess as to what words each Pokémon name is a standing in for in each line.

Lyric
I found this Nyarth girl over at Club Crab クラブでみつけた　ニャースなあのこ
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Crab クラブ	kurabu (クラブ), "(night) club"	The Pokémon name Crab (クラブ) and the Japanese word for "(night) club" (クラブ) are homonyms. That's not really super obvious to native English speakers, though, so I included both words in my translation to help make it more clear.
	Nyarth ニャース	naisu (ナイス), "nice"	"Nyarth" (ニャース) sounds sorta-kinda similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the word naisu (ナイス), or "nice"...?

Lyric
Her name and where she lives were not-so-known que ça (Nazonokusa~!) じゅうしょも　ねーむも　ナゾノクサ (ナゾノクサ)
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Nazonokusa ナゾノクサ	nazo (謎), "mystery"	The first part of Nazonokusa's name is nazo (謎), "mystery" or "unknown." "Not-so-known que ça" is my best attempt at finding "English" words that convey that meaning that also sound like this Pokémon's name, even if it doesn't really work 100%.

Lyric
Thought I caught a glimpse of someone as I was getting a moHito-kage だれかのヒトカゲ　ちらつくけれど
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Hitokage ヒトカゲ	hitokage (人影), "a human figure" or "a silhouette"	The Pokémon's name Hitokage (ヒトカゲ) and the Japanese word hitokage (人影), "human figure,"  are homonyms. I couldn't think of any English words that mean "shadow" or "human figure" that also sound like the name Hitokage and so I added a little throwaway bit about mojitos to get the pun in.

Lyric
My heart's pounding like a crescenDo-gars (won't stop pounding~!) こころはドガース　とまれない　(とまれない)
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Dogars ドガース	doki-doki (ドキドキ), "excited"	The Pokémon name "Dogars" (ドガース) sorta-kinda sounds like the onomatopoeia word doki-doki (ドキドキ), "excited." I combined "Dogars" with "heart's pounding like a crescendo" to fit the pun in.

Lyric
Lucky Lucky! Nice to Mew-two ラッキーラッキー　ないすとぅ　ミュウツー
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Lucky ラッキー	rakkii (ラッキー), "lucky"	The Pokémon name Lucky (ラッキー) and the Japanese word for "lucky" (ラッキー) are homonyms.
	Mewtwo ミュウツー	mii chuu (ミーチュー), "meet you"	The Pokémon name "Mewtwo" (ミュウツー) sorta-kinda sounds like the English phrase "meet you."

Lyric
Ever since that Tamatama time we happened to meet タマタマであった　そのひから
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Tamatama タマタマ	tama-tama (たまたま), "happen to" or "by chance" or "unexpectedly," etc.	The Pokémon name Tamatama (タマタマ) and the Japanese word for "happen to" (たまたま) are homonyms. The idea with my translation is that "Tamatama" sounds like "time-a time-a," but that's probably not very obvious and so I added "time" to the phrase to hopefully make that part more clear. I'll be the first to admit it doesn't quite work.

Lyric
Happy Happy! I'm so H-A-Pippi-Y ハッピーハッピー　あいむそー ピッピ
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Pippi ピッピ	happii (ハッピー), "happy"	The Pokémon name "Pippi" (ピッピ) sorta-kinda sounds like the word "happy" (ハッピー)...? May also be based on "peppy" (ペッピー). In any case, I used "Pippi" to stand in for the two Ps in "H-A-P-P-Y."

Lyric
My heart's practically Tattu'ed on my sleeve. I'm. No. Coyking! はらがタッツーほど　コイキング！
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Tattu タッツー	hara ga tatsu (腹が立つ), "to get angry," "to be furious"	The tatsu in the Japanese phrase hara ga tatsu (腹が立つ) is replaced with the Pokémon name Tattu (タッツー) to create hara ga Tattu (腹がタッツー). It also sorta-kinda sounds like the English word "tattoo," hence my translation.
	Koiking コイキング	koi (恋), "love" kingu (キング), "king"	The Pokémon name "Koiking" (コイキング) is usually understood to mean "king of carp" (鯉の王者) but based on the context of this song it seems like it's meant to stand for "king of love" (恋の王者). Koi also sounds like the English word coy and so I had the idea to have Kojirou say he's no "coy king" to convey teh idea that he's actually overflowing with love.

Lyric
I've gotta come up with a cool pick up line, just like Zubat くーるなせりふで　ズバットきめりゃ
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Zubat ズバット	zubatto (ズバッと), "flat-out," "tell it like it is"	The Pokémon name Zubat (ズバット) and the Japanese word for "flat-out" (ズバッと) are homonyms. In my translation, "Zubat" is a stand-in for the word "that."

Lyric
I Pika-choose to give you a smooch later. That make you feel Beto-better? (Betobeter~!) しょうらい　ピカチュウ　ベトベター　(ベトベター)
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Pikachu ピカチュウ	chuu (チュー), "to give someone a smooch." You can also see this used in Pokémon names like Muchul ("Smoochum")	The last syllable in Pikachu's (ピカチュウ) name sounds like the word chuu (チュー), "to give someone a smooch." I thought about using "Pika-smooch" but I thought "Pika-choose" would be the easier phrase to understand right away.
	Betobeter ベトベター	betaa (ベター), "better"	The last syllable in Betobeter's (ベトベター) name sounds like the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "better," betaa (ベター).

Lyric
But before we start going around in circles like a Dodo-nut ドードーめぐりを　くりかえすまえに
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Dodo ドードー	dou dou meguri (堂々巡り), "revolving door," "never-ending cycle"	The Pokémon name Dodo (ドードー) and the first part of the Japanese phrase for "never-ending cycle" (堂々巡り) are homonyms. I decided to go with combining Dodo's name with the word donut to convey the idea of going around in circles.

Lyric
I'll give her these Smelly Flowers (Kusaihana~!) あのこにわたそう　クサイハナ (クサイハナ)
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Kusaihana クサイハナ	hana (花), "flower	Kusaihana's name means "smelly flower" (臭い花), but in this song I think we're supposed to ignore "smelly" and focus more on the "flower" part of the line. I couldn't think of a good substitute for "Kusaihana" and so I just  used the phrase "Smelly Flower" as-is.

Lyric
Fushigida-name a more unlikely couple ぼくらのであいは　フシギダネ
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Fushigidane フシギダネ	fushigi da ne (不思議だね), "it's strange, isn't it?"	The Pokémon name Fushigidane (フシギダネ) and the Japanese phrase fushigi da ne? ("it's strange, isn't it?") are homonyms. The line can also be interpreted as "look at how strange a couple we are" which is how I came up with a play on the phrase "name a more unlikely couple."

Lyric
I wanna get my Eau de Golone on you tonight with my King Kongpang hug コンパン　ゴローンと　あまえたい
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Kongpang コンパン	konban (今晩), "tonight"	The Pokémon name "Kongpang" (コンパン) sorta-kinda sounds like the word konban ("tonight")...? Marrying "Kongpang" with "tonight" wasn't really working and so I focused on ametai, "I want to cuddle with you." "King Kongpang" part above is meant to invoke the idea of a long hug, kind of like what you might get from a gorilla.
	Golone ゴローン	koroon (コ ローン), "cologne"	The Pokémon name "Golone" (ゴローン) sorta-kinda sounds like the word cologne (コローン)...? I came up with "Eau de Golone" to invoke the idea of "Eau de cologne."

Lyric
The story's just getting heated up...Ma 'dats you, beau me (Madatsubomi) どらまはこれから　マダツボミ！
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Madatsubomi マダツボミ	"still a (flower) bud" (まだ蕾).	The Pokémon name Madatsubomi (マダツボミ) and the Japanese phrase mada tsubomi ("it's still a flower bud") are homonyms. The really, really forced play on words I tried to go for here basically means "Ma (girl), in this drama this person I'm pointing at is you, and this beau (boy) is me."

Lyric
Remember me? I'm a Star...mie? りめんばーみー？　あいむ　スターミー？
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Starmie スターミー	sutaa (スター), "star"	May be playing with the fact that the Pokémon name "Starmie" (スターミー) has the word "star" (スター) in it...? In the above translation, the idea is "I'm a star...me?"

Lyric
Why do you seem Fushigi-so mysterious? どーして　あなたは　フシギソウ？
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Fushigisou フシギソウ	fushigi sou (不思議そう), "it seems strange"	The Pokémon name Fushigisou (フシギソウ) and the Japanese phrase fushigi sou ("it seems strange") are homonyms.

Lyric
Just let it Be-dle れっと　いっと　ビードル
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Beedle ビードル	bii (ビー) "be" (as in "let it be")	The first part of the Pokémon name "Beedle" (ビードル) sounds like bii, the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "(to) be."

Lyric
Let's Ghos...er, go! れっつ　ゴース！
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Ghos ゴース	goo (ゴー), "go" (as in "let's go")	The first part of the Pokémon name "Ghos" (ゴース) sounds like goh, the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "go." "Let's Ghos" by itself doesn't convey this so I added the "...er, go!" part to help make this more clear.

Lyric
Fizzy power, rain Showers, rush hour しゃわしゃわ　シャワーズ　らっしゅあわー
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Showers シャワーズ	shawaazu (シャワーズ), (rain) "showers"	The Pokémon name Showers (シャワーズ) and the Japanese word shawaazu ("(rain) showers") are homonyms. This is the part of the song where Kojirou stops making puns and more or less just lists out words that rhyme with various Pokémon names.

Lyric
Fire, ire, I'm so tired ファイヤー　いやいや　もういやー
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Fire ファイヤー	iya-iya (いやいや), or "no way" mou iyaa (も ういやー), or "that's enough"	The Pokémon name Fire (ファイヤー) sounds similar to the other words in this particular line of the song, iya-iya (いやいや), or "no way," and mou iyaa (も ういやー), or "that's enough"

Lyric
Good things come in by the thouSand-pans にどあることは　サンドパン
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Sandpan サンドパン	nido aru koto wa sando aru (二 度あることは三度ある), and idiom equivalent to "(good/bad) things come in threes" or "when it rains, it pours"	The sando ("threes") part of the idom nido aru koto wa sando aru is replaced with the Pokémon name "Sandpan" (サンドパン)

Lyric
Ratta, Koratta, doesn't matter ラッタ　コラッタ　こりゃまいっ
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Ratta ラッタ	korya maitta (こりゃまいった), "I'm beat" or "you got me"	The Pokémon name Ratta (ラッタ) sounds similar to the phrase korya maitta (こりゃまいった), or "I'm beat" or "you got me," in this particular line of the song
	Koratta コラッタ	korya maitta (こりゃまいった), "I'm beat" or "you got me"	The Pokémon name Koratta (コラッタ) sounds similar to the phrase korya maitta (こりゃまいった), or "I'm beat" or "you got me," in this particular line of the song

Lyric
Nidoran, Yadoran, I've got no plan ニドラン　ヤドラン　もーしらん
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Nidoran ニドラン	mou shiran (もう知らん), "I have no idea"	The Pokémon name Nidoran (ニドラン) sorta-kinda rhymes with the phrase mou shiran (もう知らん), or "I have no idea," in this particular line of the song
	Yadoran ヤドラン	mou shiran (もう知らん), "I have no idea"	The Pokémon name Yadon (ヤドラン) sorta-kinda rhymes with the phrase mou shiran (もう知らん), or "I have no idea," in this particular line of the song

Lyric
Lonely, lovely, Butterfree ろんりー　ラブリー　バタフリー
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Butterfree バタフリー	ronrii (ロンリー), "lonely" raburii (ラブリー), "lovely"	"Butterfree" (バタフリー) sorta-kinda rhymes with the other words in this line, lonely (ロンリー) and lovely (ラブリー)

Lyric
Everyday, Windy, whaddya say? えぶりでぃ　ウィンディ　てやんでい！
Image	Pokémon Name	Japanese Word	Explanation
	Windie ウィンディ	eburidei (エブリデイ), "everyday" teyandei (てやんでい), "what the heck are you saying?"	"Windie" (ウインディ) sorta-kinda rhymes with the other words in this line, everyday (エブリデイ) and teyandei (てやんでい), or "what the heck are you saying?"
