==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This is the first English theme with digital animation, the portion in question being the power display by [[Misty's Staryu]], [[Ash's Snorlax]], and [[Ash's Charizard]]. The first fully digitally animated theme was this song's successor, "[[Pokémon Johto]]".
* This is the first English theme to be partially made with digital animation, the portion in question being the power display by [[Misty's Staryu]], [[Ash's Snorlax]], and [[Ash's Charizard]]. The first fully digitally animated theme was this song's successor, [[Pokémon Johto]].
* The movie version of this song features a duet making it the first dub opening to feature a duet, while the opening for the TV series was still solo. An opening duet for the TV series would not happen until [[High Touch!]] in the original and ''{{so|Black and White}}'' in the dub.
* {{Gary}} is shown with a {{p|Growlithe}} in this opening, even though he has never been seen using one, nor has it ever been confirmed if he obtained his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} as a Growlithe.
* The movie version of this song features a duet, making it the first English [[dub]] opening to feature a duet, while the opening for the TV series was still a solo performance. An opening duet for the TV series would not happen until [[High Touch!]] in the original, and {{so|Black and White}} in the English dub.
* For reasons unknown, the {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} dub used their version of [[Pokémon Theme]] instead.
** This was also the case in the {{pmin|the Arab world|Arabic}} dub, probably because the [[Pokémon Theme]] was very popular, there was no point in changing it.
* Despite leaving the TV version undubbed in English, {{pmin|Bulgaria}}, {{pmin|Iceland}}, and {{pmin|Slovakia}} did dub the song's {{pkmn|movie}} version as well as the movie version of [[Pokémon Johto]].
* Due to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] arc being skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, only the full version of the song, used during the opening of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', exists in Finnish.
* A part of the extended version of the song is heard in the [[Pokémon: Path to the Peak]] episode ''[[PTP03|Internationals]]''.
** In the Japanese dub of this episode, the beat of the song was kept and the lyrics were dubbed into Japanese. This was done instead of replacing the song with the corresponding Japanese opening theme, which would have been [[The Rivals]].

Pokémon World is the opening theme song for the English dub of the second season, Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands. It was used from The Lost Lapras (from Pallet Party Panic in the VIZ Media DVD release) to The Rivalry Revival, even though a shorter version was used starting from The Pokémon Water War. The opening animation is composed of clips from the second Japanese opening The Rivals, and clips from the episode Pikachu Re-Volts. It was written by John Loeffler and John Siegler and was sung by Russell Velázquez.

A version sung by Youngstown and Nobody's Angel was the opening theme to the second Pokémon movie, The Power of One, and appeared on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon the Movie 2000. It also was one of the few English Pokémon songs to get its own official single.

A non-lyrical version is featured in the game Pokémon Puzzle League as the theme song for Gary Oak.

Trivia

  • This is the first English theme to be partially made with digital animation, the portion in question being the power display by Misty's Staryu, Ash's Snorlax, and Ash's Charizard. The first fully digitally animated theme was this song's successor, Pokémon Johto.
  • Gary is shown with a Growlithe in this opening, even though he has never been seen using one, nor has it ever been confirmed if he obtained his Arcanine as a Growlithe.
  • The movie version of this song features a duet, making it the first English dub opening to feature a duet, while the opening for the TV series was still a solo performance. An opening duet for the TV series would not happen until High Touch! in the original, and Black and White in the English dub.
  • For reasons unknown, the European Portuguese dub used their version of Pokémon Theme instead.
    • This was also the case in the Arabic dub, probably because the Pokémon Theme was very popular, there was no point in changing it.
  • Despite leaving the TV version undubbed in English, Bulgaria, Iceland, and Slovakia did dub the song's movie version as well as the movie version of Pokémon Johto.
  • Due to the Orange Islands arc being skipped in the Finnish dub, only the full version of the song, used during the opening of The Power of One, exists in Finnish.
  • A part of the extended version of the song is heard in the Pokémon: Path to the Peak episode Internationals.
    • In the Japanese dub of this episode, the beat of the song was kept and the lyrics were dubbed into Japanese. This was done instead of replacing the song with the corresponding Japanese opening theme, which would have been The Rivals.
