Game alert sounds became a staple of livestreaming as creators looked for short, recognizable cues that chat would instantly understand. Pokemon was a natural choice because its healing, level up and item jingles have been heard by millions of players across generations of handheld and console games. Streamers repurposed this clip as a donation cue, similar to how others use a GTA V notification for alerts. Its familiarity works across ages, and its positive tone fits thanking supporters without using a harsh alarm or jump scare.
