Aim to Be a Pokémon Master (Japanese: めざせポケモンマスター Mezase Pokémon Master) is the first Japanese opening theme of the original series, with a cover by Whiteberry being the fourth. An arrangement made to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon the Series replaced Alola!! as the second opening theme of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. Another arrangement made to commemorate the series's 25th anniversary titled Aim to Be a Pokémon Master -with my friends- (Japanese: めざせポケモンマスター -with my friends- Mezase Pokémon Master -with my friends-) replaced One, Two, Three as the second and final opening theme of Pokémon Journeys: The Series.
A verse from this song was featured in the third opening theme of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Symphonic Medley, and a synthesized version was used during captures and evolutions in Pokémon Pinball. It is also one of the songs featured in the Japan-only game, Donkey Konga 3.

Opening animation: TV OP 1
Synopsis
The type symbols appear in a circle, and the series logo appears on the screen. The three fully evolved Kanto first partner Pokémon, Pikachu, Ash, and an unnamed Lass are seen. This is followed by three scenes showing random Generation I Pokémon.
Ash is then seen with a Poké Ball. After that, he is riding on the back of a Lapras with Pikachu while a Gyarados and Dragonair are seen jumping out and in the water. Next, Ash and Pikachu are looking at Pallet Town. It cuts to a scene with them walking, and then Ash throws a Poké Ball with a Pidgeot inside. The Pokémon then begins battling with a Fearow.
Ash appears looking at the screen, when Misty and Brock appear on either side of him. This is followed by Jessie and James rising up in front of them. Koffing, Meowth and Ekans jump up next, followed by Gary holding a Poké Ball. Ash and his friends are seen running from the rain. This is followed by a short clip of Nurse Joy, Professor Oak, Officer Jenny and Delia Ketchum.
The next scene shows Ash and his friends in Viridian Forest. Then, Ash and Pikachu are seen running with an Arcanine and a Rapidash. The latter Pokémon jumps up, and the three legendary birds are seen flying in the sky. A clip of Mewtwo and Mew in space is shown, followed by Ash in a stadium holding a Poké Ball. His friends appear with him.

Variants

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Episodes in which the fourth variant ended (EP039 - ???) and the fifth started (??? - EP080) |
- EP001 - EP002: The original animation. During the Pokémon images scene, there's a picture of a Kadabra, but it reads "Foodin" on it.
- EP003: The Kadabra error is corrected, and an actual Alakazam picture is put in its place.
- EP004 - EP038: The TCG types symbol background keeps rotating after the "Pocket Monsters" logo appears in the title screen, and after the executive production credits appear on the final shot.
- EP039 - EP080: After the "Pokémon Shock" incident of EP038, the opening was changed to be broken up into four images per screen. This change was also applied to reruns of the first 37 episodes.
- EP039 - EP080: A shot where Ash throws a Poké Ball is slowed down, removing part of the scene where the spinning Poké Ball covers the entire screen, and Ash holding another one was edited to remove one frame where it glows over the entire screen. Two frames were also removed from the battle between Ash's Pidgeot and Fearow. Several frames were removed from the scene starring Zapdos.
In reruns (including on Kids Station and in Pocket Monsters Premier 10), the fifth variant with a CGI-animated title screen is used for all episodes from EP001 to EP080.

Trivia
- The battle between Ash's Pidgeot and the Fearow is a parallel of Pallet Party Panic, the first episode in which the following opening was used. Ash's Pidgeotto did not become Pidgeot until that episode.
- The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are the symbols for the seven TCG types at the time.
- The song can be heard in the instrumental version of High Touch!.
- The image of Porygon was interestingly not removed after the EP038 incident.
- At one point of The Road to Humilau!, Ash and Cameron hum this theme in the Japanese version. However, it was not kept in the English dub.
- An instrumental version of the original version of this song appears in both the Japanese and English versions of Pokémon Pinball when the player is attempting to catch or evolve a Pokémon.
- A scene in which Ash stands in a stadium was used as part of a bumper with Brock's voice saying "We'll Be Back After These Messages!" when the 4Kids dub was first aired in syndication in 1998 in America.
- A mashup of this and the first English opening titled Pokémon Mezase Catch 'em All was posted on the official English and Japanese YouTube channels on March 10, 2023.
Errors
- When Meowth, Ekans, and Koffing jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split second.
- When Ash and his friends are running from the rain, Poliwrath's eyelid is white instead of blue.

Four Pokémon and five people are on top and Larvitar stood in front of them. Ash and Pikachu ran up a flight of stairs together with the legendary birds and reached the Plateau. Ash and Pikachu stood in front of many Pokémon. Ash, Misty, Brock and Ash's Pokémon stood together.

Lyrics
The lyrics for all versions of the song are identical with the exception of formatting, backup singers, and the ad-libs shown in parentheses below.
- The original 1997 version includes all ad-libs except for 「待ってる」. However, it is still displayed in the lyrics on-screen during the opening animation. The first line of the second stanza is formatted as 「なかなかなかなか、なかなかなかなか 大変だけど」 and the second and third line of the third stanza are formatted without spaces.
- The Whiteberry cover includes all ad-libs except for 「待ってる」. The initial 「ポケモン ゲットだぜーッ！」 is included only in the TV size version and not in the full version. The first line of the second stanza is formatted as 「なかなか なかなか なかなか なかなか 大変だけど」.
- The 20th Anniversary version includes only the 「ポケモン ゲットだぜーッ！」 and 「ピカチュウ～！」 ad-libs, the latter of which is formatted with an exclamation mark. The first line of the second stanza is formatted as 「なかなか なかなか なかなか なかなか大変だけど」. The last two lines of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stanzas are displayed as one line. In SM042 and SM043, Misty, Brock, and Professor Oak say the 「きゃ～～～！！」, 「待ってる」, and 「そりゃそうじゃ」 ad-libs respectively, although they are not displayed in the lyrics on-screen.
- The 2023 version includes all ad-libs except for 「待ってる」.
- The 1998 movie version and its 2019 remaster include all ad-libs except for 「待ってる」.
- The 2001 movie remix, 2002 movie remix, and the 20th Anniversary Ballad ver. do not include any of the ad-libs.
- In the 2023 version, backup singers sing the line "With my friends" at the same time as Rica Matsumoto sings 「仲間をふやして 次の町へ」.
