+The '''Pokérap''' (sometimes stylized as '''PokéRAP''' or '''PokéRap''') is a series of songs that was made popular by the [[Pokémon anime]].  They are the English equivalent of the ''[[Can You Name All the Pokémon?]]'' songs.
-The main purpose of the song was to [[List of Pokémon|list all the known Pokémon]] of a specific generation. It usually rhymes, as heard in the [[Kanto Pokérap|original Pokérap]] which had many Pokémon names that rhymed, but no rhymes were made in the [[Pokérap GS|next one]] as there was a limit on names that rhymed and Pokémon. The third [[Hoenn Pokérap|Pokérap]] had rhymes, but didn't rhyme any Pokémon, instead rhyming normal words together, or with the Pokémon's name.
+The main purpose of the songs were to [[List of Pokémon|list all the known Pokémon]] of a specific generation. The [[Kanto Pokérap|original]] and [[Hoenn Pokérap]]s rhymed; the former had many Pokémon names that rhymed and the latter rhymed normal words together instead of Pokémon names. Fewer rhymes were made in the [[Pokérap GS]], however.
-Usually, the evolutionary families would be jumbled up, and sung in different lines or verse. In later raps, such as the Hoenn Pokérap, this rule was not followed; the {{p|Lotad}} family was sung together.
+In the first two songs, the evolutionary families would be jumbled up, and sung in different lines or verses. In the Hoenn Pokérap, this rule was not followed; many evolutionary families were sung with two or three of their members back-to-back.
-There are currently four Pokérap songs, one for each of the first three generations, and one for Generation V<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH6O8Rpm1sU</ref>. The [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] of Pokémon doesn't have a Pokérap, but it was widely anticipated by fans.
+There are three Pokérap songs, one for each of the first three generations. Pokéraps were then retired upon [[The Pokémon Company International]] succeeding [[4Kids Entertainment]] as the new producers of the English dub of the Pokémon anime.

 ==Trivia==
-*Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|Christian fundamentalists}} complained about the song, because they claimed that if one were to play backwards the Pokérap, "Gotta Catch 'em All!" can be heard as "I love {{wp|Satan}}".
+* In the [[Pokémon in South Asia#Hungama TV|second dub]] of [[Pokémon]] in {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, the channel, {{wp|Hungama TV}}, made their own version of a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#Endings|Pokérap]] however, it bears no resemblance to the original Pokérap and is only called as Pokérap because it was subtitled as such.
+* In the Japanese version of {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni?]] mentions that he sings [[Can You Name All the Pokémon?]]. In the English localization, he says that he sings the Pokérap.
