I feel for anyone who were in groups, like it must be so awful especially when there's a breakout star and the rest don't quite get there. That has to sting a bit.

I think about that sometimes too! P!nk and Britney started out in groups. I wonder what it felt like to be their former bandmate and think "Why them and not me?".

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/stillhavehope99]

What group did Britney start out in?

[u/Champiness → u/SamosaAndMimosa]

Innosense, who lost Britney before they recorded anything and didn't last much longer on the runway after that (but no one can ever take the end-credits music for the third Pokémon movie away from them).

Holy shit, my mind is blown that To Know the Unknown is sung by the girl group Britney was almost in.

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/iceunelle]

My boyfriend had the same reaction except he was sarcastic 😭

[u/iceunelle → u/SamosaAndMimosa]

What can I say, I have a lot of nostalgia for the first few seasons of Pokemon.

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/iceunelle]

My boyfriend does too he just found that fun fact to be super underwhelming 😭

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/Champiness]

“The band decided to misspell the name so they would not sound like “innocent little four-year-olds.” HUH??? 😭😭😭

That Pokémon movie fact is blowing my mind idk if i remember that song in particular but I bet my boyfriend does 💀 I can’t wait to harass him about this after he wakes up from his nap

[u/yourfacesucksass → u/SamosaAndMimosa]

LMAO, but the way the ended up spelling it now just reminds me if Kelly Osbourne’s “in the sense that” from her clean your toilets moment.

[u/Champiness → u/SamosaAndMimosa]

It delights me to this day that there are only two degrees of separation between Britney Spears and the Pokémon designed to look like the alphabet

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/Champiness]

Wait I’m so stupid what is the connection between Brittney and unknown 😭

Apparently Britney had a song on the album for the first Pokemon movie I love that for her

[u/Champiness → u/SamosaAndMimosa]

Perhaps this lyrics sheet will help you untangle the Mystery of the Unown

[u/SamosaAndMimosa → u/Champiness]

Oh my god the word unknown was literally in the title how did I miss that double entendre 😭 tysm for the fun facts!!
