Lyrics

TV version

POKÉMON!
(Gotta catch 'em all)
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
POKÉMON!
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
POKÉMON!
(Gotta catch 'em all)
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
POKÉMON!
Gotta catch 'em all
POKÉMON!

Ending version

POKÉMON!

Trivia

• This opening marks the first time a single dub season has had more than one opening song.
  • While Pokémon Theme and Pokémon World share the season title of "Pokémon" in their openings, their seasons were retroactively given different names.
• Tracey is the only one of Ash's friends to not appear in this opening. While the scene where he appeared in a photo from its Japanese equivalent is used in this opening, the photo with Tracey is obscured due to the scene not lasting as long as in the Japanese opening.
• As of this opening, Ash's Scraggy, Naganadel and Melmetal are the only ones of Ash's Pokémon, pre-evolve or current, who do not appear in any of the English openings since their debut in Pokémon the Series: Black and White and Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon respectively.

Errors

• The opening credits erroneously credit Shūhei Yasuda as "Series Construction" instead of "Character Design".
