It's about feeling guilty for leaving your Pokémon in boxes.

lyrics

I come to visit you
from time to time
I grab a thing or two
You know that I'm just there to grab those things, but you

don't even care
It's like old times
Us two, out there
preventing crimes the police should've probably looked into

And still sometimes I wish we'd stayed together long enough for me to see
what you'd become, you were so young when you were caught
My pidgeotto, not pidgeot

And how could I ever abandon you?
I don't know
You kind of sucked
Sucked on my heart, I mean
And though it saddens me so
we grew apart
A short reunion, yeah
No time to delve
I'll see you in box 12

I send new friends to you
from time to time
They might be crowding you
Just know that I'm supposed to find one hundred more

I'll fight the fight
I'll catch 'em all
So just sit tight
inside your ball in your box in some strange man's computer

And I don't have to say, I think you know, I hope you're happy in here
And I don't have to know that I think you'd say that you were not
My pidgeotto, not pidgeot

And how could I ever abandon you?
I don't know
You kind of sucked
Sucked on my heart, that is
And though it saddens me so
we grew apart
A short reunion, yeah
No time to delve
I'll see you in box 12

There are so many powerful types
And only six competitive slots
The flying half of you's really nice
The normal half, though, isn't so hot
Now I've found someone who's flying and ice
Oh
Pidgeotto
Your spot is held with me
The spot's internal though, so
not on my belt, you'll be
in my box

But how could I ever abandon you?
I don't know
You kind of sucked
Sucked on my heart, of course
And though it saddens me so
we grew apart
A short reunion, yeah
No time to delve
Till next time in box 12
