'''''Pokémon Go!''''', also called '''''Go Pokémon Go''''' in some sources, is an ending theme used in the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is the first original ending theme to be used in the anime; prior to ''Pokémon Go!'', ending themes for the English dub were shortened versions of the opening themes.


It had actually debuted as an opening theme in the original airing of the dub of the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.  It was later used as the ending theme of the redubbed version of the same special, and a slightly shorter version was used as the ending theme of the English dub of the main series from ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' to ''[[AG191|Home Is Where the Start Is]]''. The song also appears on the [[Pokémon X]] audio CD.

==Lyrics==
==Lyrics==
These lyrics are for the full version as heard on the [[Pokémon X]] CD. The original Mastermind opening and the redub Mastermind ending, as well as the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] ending use just the [[Go Pokémon Go#Rap|rap]] (without the final repeat of the chorus), with Battle Frontier stopping just after "Johto".
The full version is most widely available on the {{CD|Pokémon X}} CD; however, it was also featured in the music video in the [[10th Anniversary Perdue Farms promotion]]. The redubbed ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' opening only uses the portion from the end of the rap. The original ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon'' dub opening and the redub ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon'' ending use only the rap. The [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] ending only uses the rap until "Then you head to Johto!"

Pokémon Go!, also called Go Pokémon Go in some sources, is an ending theme used in the English dub of the Pokémon anime. It is the first original ending theme to be used in the anime; prior to Pokémon Go!, ending themes for the English dub were shortened versions of the opening themes.

It had actually debuted as an opening theme in the original airing of the dub of the special The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. It was later used as the ending theme of the redubbed version of the same special, and a slightly shorter version was used as the ending theme of the English dub of Pokémon: Battle Frontier, which encompass the episodes from Fear Factor Phony to Home is Where the Start Is!. The song also appears on the Pokémon X album.

Characters

These lists only cover the two openings of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. All other occurrences of this song in the anime have no background animation and thus have no characters in them.
