No matter what anyone tells you,Pokemonis very much something that can be enjoyed by people regardless of age. Children are naturally Pokemon’s key demographic though, which is why a clip posted onTikTok, a platform primarily aimed at young people, absolutely teeming with swear words took quite a few people by surprise.
Posted toPokemon’s official TikTok account, and spotted byNintendo Lifebefore it was promptly taken down, the video shows a jubilant Pikachu dancing around a Lucario. All very innocent and expected stuff from Pokemon, but only if you’re watching on mute. The soundtrack to the clip is the famous song If You’re Happy And You Know It, except almost every other word is either fing or motherfing.

As already noted, someone realized the mistake very quickly and the video is naturally no longer on Pokemon’s TikTok. Unfortunately for Pokemon, and the poor employee who made the mistake, nothing is ever truly deleted on the internet. In the very short period the video was live where it was originally posted, Pokemon fans ripped it and have been sharing it elsewhere ever since.
you’re able to see the evidence for yourself above because honestly, it is one of those things that really has to be seen to be believed. As for how exactly something like this happened, we might never know for sure. The leading theory is that a Japanese Pokemon employee applied the music, not knowing what was being said due to not being able to speak English.
It’s also possible the account was hacked, although doing nothing more than posting the video above doesn’t seem like the work of a hacker, or the video was posted by a disgruntled employee.
