Pokémon Johto is the opening theme song for the English dub of the third season, Pokémon: The Johto Journeys. It was used from Don't Touch That 'dile to The Fortune Hunters. The opening animation is composed of clips from the third Japanese opening OK!, as well as episode clips from the third season.

The version used in the third series opening was performed by Johto and is featured on the album Totally Pokémon. An alternate version was used in the opening theme to Spell of the Unown: Entei and is featured on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack. This version is different from the TV and Totally Pokémon version in that it has slightly different lyrics and a different artist. It was one of the four ringtones available on the Pokémon Mobile service.

Lyrics

Suicune appears at the end of the opening.

TV version

It's a whole new world we live in (live in)
Pokémon Johto!

Everybody wants to be a Master
Everybody wants to show their skills
Everybody wants to get there faster
Make their way to the top of the hill

Each time you try, gonna get just a little bit better
Each step you climb is one more step up the ladder

It's a whole new world we live in
It's a whole new way to see
It's a whole new place with a brand new attitude
But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be

Pokémon Johto!

It's a whole new world we live in (live in)
But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be
