We are only a few years removed from when the musical stylings of DJ Bolt, which combined remixes of popular songs with a female announcer and deep amphibian grunts, took the internet by storm. A great deal has been written about the human half of the duo, about how these recordings launched the career of Levincia City's Gym Leader and one of the internet's most watched streamer, to the point where the pokemon half of DJ Bolt has often been forgotten. And this is a shame, for the croaks and turntables of Bellibolt have fascinated humanity for as long as the two have been in contact.
There is a tradition dating from antiquity of depicting the Muses, at least in the Paldea region, as Bellibolt. Pokemon – and humans living near swamps, for that matter – gathered around these strange pokemon to hear them sing and rub their bellies. Occasionally, people added instruments or skits to supplement Bellibolt's performances; such was the origin of ancient Paldean theater. In this era, most theaters are indoors, but theater and Paldean film often contains visual references to swamps and Bellibolt, if a live one can not be procured for the orchestra.
Bellibolt's means of playing music, by rubbing their stomachs and making different sounds depending on where on their chest they rub, is known to have inspired not just the record but the CD-ROM, giving these pokemon an important place in the history of computing; indeed, the circular technical machines of today distantly descend from how this pokemon's body stores information. One can not actually play records inside a Bellibolt, but if the back of the disc is shown to them, these pokemon will do their best to emulate the sounds of those songs.
