はじめての場所 はじめての風のにおい　ｍｍ．．． はじめてじゃないのは このドキドキ！ 新品のこの地図 クシャクシャになるころ　おれたち ねぇ　どこまで進んでるかな？ ここだけの話 不安ひとつふたつみっつ でも　楽しみは数えきれない！ 耳をすませば　なつかしい声 未来からの声 いつも祈っててくれてる 「きみは　だいじょうぶ！ なぜか　だいじょうぶ！ みんな　だいじょうぶ！」 Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ　歩き出そう！ Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ　走っちゃおうか？ ドキドキは　すぐに ウズウズに！ いてもたっても　いられないぜ！

At a place for the first time The smell of the wind for the first time, mm... But what isn't for the first time Is this throbbing of my heart! When this brand-new map Gets all crumpled Hey, I wonder how far we should go? Keep this between us; I have one or two or three worries But there are countless things I'm looking forward to! If I listen closely, I hear a nostalgic voice A voice from the future It's always praying for me "You'll be all right! Somehow it'll be all right! Everyone will be all right!" Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking! Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run? The throbbing of my heart instantly changes To an itching desire! There's just no way I can calm down!

Trivia

• This is the first opening to the Pokémon anime to not feature any human characters.
• Pokémon silhouettes are revealed in the episode following their debut in the series.
• This is the first opening to be composed completely of CGI images.

Variants

In the first episode, all Pokémon (except Pikachu) are shown in silhouettes. Whenever a Pokémon makes its debut, its silhouette is transformed into its revealed form in the episode following their debut in the series. Every episode after that will show that Pokémon (without any transformation).
