It takes a different kind of skill
and I won't stop until
150 Pokémon are mine.
I must define the art of capture (of all Pokémon).

2 B a Master... Pokémon Master!

Trivia

  • A mistake in the song left out the Poison-type from the list of types. Instead, the "Flame" type, the Japanese name of the Fire type, was included.
    • This mistake was not corrected in translations of the song. In the French version, the "Flame" type replaces the Flying-type, and in the German version, neither the Poison-type nor the "Flame" type are mentioned - presumably to simplify the synchronization of music and lyrics.
  • Another mistake occurs in the Brazilian Portuguese version: the Grass type was replaced with "Hay" type and the Bug type with "Microbe" type.
  • The Latin American version of the song replaces the Flying type with the "Air" type (Aire instead of Volador), the Bug type with the "Insect" type (Insecto instead of Bicho), and the Fighting type with the "Fighter" type (Luchador instead of Lucha).
  • Although the lyrics sung are "R U ready 2 meet and defeat... The Elite?", the official lyrics have "Elite Four", instead of "Elite" by itself.
    • In the Danish and Norwegian versions, the song does not mention "The Elite" at all, instead mentioning fighting the leader of Team Rocket.
  • Sheet music for this song is included in the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book, Pokémon Five-Finger Piano and Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!.
  • This song's name is inconsistent. It is also known as 2B a Master, 2BA Master, among other names.
