While the Project Voltage songs are full of musical Easter eggs, the next songs are very attentive to details of many aspects of the Pokémon games. This includes moves, items and even some direct quotes from certain non playable characters. We will be pointing out these examples below.

I Am A Ghost Type is the ninth song in Project Voltage written by Syudou, a master of creepy horror-like songs. This song is rather straightforward in its message: Miku is a Ghost type trainer with her partner Pokémon Gengar. A majority of this song samples the Lavender Town and Pokémon Tower themes.

This song is a love letter to the Ghost type in general and references Ghost-type moves, and even quotes from a non playable character from Kanto’s Lavender Town. The musical, visual and other Easter Eggs are of the following:

Go! Team Bippa, or Bidoof, is a high energy song by the duo, WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY! It follows the story of Team Bidoof as portrayed by Miku, Rin and Len, and their conquest to take over the world with Bidoof. This song is loaded with both musical and visual references such as Pokétch Applications, and various routes around the Sinnoh region, Nintendo DS style. The musical and visual references are:

Hyu~dorodoro also known as Huh, Muddled is a song by Kuriyama Yuri, also known as Van De Shop. It is a duet sung by two Furisode Girls portrayed by Hatsune Miku and MEIKO who find themselves in a haunted house. Like the previous two songs, various Pokémon moves were referenced in the lyrics. Some items like a Silph Scope can be briefly seen in the music video as well. The moves, sounds and themes samples are listed below:

Encounter is a song by Orangestar. It is a somber song about a young woman reflecting back on the past. Beyond the visuals of Lugia and Luxray, there is next to no Pokémon music referenced here at all, apart from Lugia’s song from Pokémon the Movie 2000… and Lugia’s cry.

In addition, the song is 2:49 long, while Lugia’s Pokédex number is 249. Lugia’s weight is 216 kg, and in the US date system, the video was posted 2/16 (16th of February).
