Opening animation

OP Text

Japanese English この星の不思議な生き物 ポケットモンスター・・・ ちぢめてポケモン！ 今、サトシとヒカリと ポケモンたちの 出会いと冒険と戦いの 物語がはじまる！ The mysterious creatures of this planet Pocket Monsters... "Pokémon" for short! Now, the story of Satoshi and Hikari, and Pokémon, Their meetings, adventures, and battles Are about to begin!

Synopsis

The animation begins with a close-up of Ho-Oh, panning out to reveal Ash and Pikachu chasing after it. The logo appears. It then cuts to Ash throwing a Poké Ball, where his Infernape appears and jumps up to combat Entei, dodging its Flamethrower. Buizel is then seen jumping up and using SonicBoom, which is blocked by Darkrai, who counters with Dark Pulse. From the smoke of the impact, Pikachu appears, jumping to avoid an Aura Sphere from Lucario and using Iron Tail. The scene shifts to Croagunk using Brick Break, then changes once again to Dawn turning and smiling. Dawn's Pokémon appear - first Piplup and Pachirisu, then Mamoswine and Cyndaquil, and lastly Togekiss and Buneary. All of Dawn's rivals — Zoey, Ursula, Nando, Kenny, and Jessilina — are shown, with the Ribbon Cup shining in the background.

The scene changes to Brock turning to look at the sky, where Latios, Latias, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres fly over him, Ash, Dawn, and their Pokémon, except Togekiss. Team Rocket are then shown on their Magikarp submarine in the ocean when a Kyogre emerges from the water beneath them, as well as a Lugia. Groudon bursts from a nearby island and uses SolarBeam as Lugia uses Aeroblast and Kyogre uses Ice Beam. The three attacks collide, creating an explosion with smoke.

The smoke clears to show Team Rocket floating in outer space. Mew and Mewtwo appear and fly past the trio, with Rayquaza and Deoxys close behind. The scene transitions to Ash and company at a field of flowers and a nearby pond with Manaphy in it, and Celebi and Jirachi floating around it. At the same time, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf can be seen floating around Ash and his friends as they sing with the lyrics of the song. A Shaymin appears, and transforms into its Sky Forme as a closeup of the flowers reveals them to be Gracideas.

Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are seen emerging from the clouds to join Arceus. A closeup of each of Ash's current Pokémon appears, and then cuts to Paul facing off against Ash. The camera backs out to reveal a large battlefield with miscellaneous Pokémon silhouetted in the background. Ash and a variety of his Pokémon are ready for battle against his rivals Nando, Conway, Paul, and Barry, while Dawn and Brock look on.

Opening animation spoilers

• Ash's Monferno evolving into an Infernape.
• Ash's Grotle evolving into a Torterra.
• Dawn obtaining a Togekiss.
• Nando, Kenny, Ursula, and Jessilina qualifying for the Sinnoh Grand Festival.
• Barry and Nando qualifying for the Lily of the Valley Conference, as well as Conway's participation.

Trivia

• This is one of a few songs to be released on a CD prior to its debut as an anime theme. However, it is in instrumental format only on the CD.
• This opening has most Legendary Pokémon, with 26 out of 35.
  • Lucario is the only wild Pokémon featured in this opening that isn't a legendary Pokémon.
• Not counting A New Oath, this is the only Japanese opening where an artist other than Rica Matsumoto returns to perform another opening.
• This is the only Japanese Diamond & Pearl series opening not to show any of Jessie's or James's Pokémon. However, at the same time, this is the first time that Jessie's alias "Jessilina" appeared in an opening.
• Despite being obtained in DP171 and appearing earlier in the opening, Dawn's Togekiss was never featured in the group shot. Additionally, the opening was not edited to show the evolution of Ash's Cyndaquil.
• This is the first Japanese opening since Pokémon Symphonic Medley to not have any changes in animation. This is also the only Japanese Diamond & Pearl series opening to not have any.
• The Greatest - Everyday! is a playable song in the DS game Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Dororon! Yokai Daikessen!!.
• The Greatest - Everyday! is the only Diamond & Pearl series opening whose remix does not contain the year that the remix was released in the title. This was probably due to the fact that the remix was released the same year as the original version.
• In the original version, when Ash and his friends are in the field with the lake guardians, they are singing along with the lyrics. In the remix, due to slightly different timing, their lip sync is slightly off. This was corrected in DP186.

Variants

1. DP158 - DP182: The original animation.
2. DP183 - DP191, SS024: Song changed to The Greatest - Everyday! (Band Version)
