Opening animation: TV OP 1

Synopsis

The type symbols appear in a circle, and the series logo appears on the screen. The final evolutions of the three starters, 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 while a Gyarados and Dragonair are seen jumping out of 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 the gang 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 Pikachu 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.

Trivia

  • The battle between Ash's Pidgeot and the Fearow is a parallel of EP081, the last episode in which this opening was used. Ash's Pidgeotto did not become Pidgeot until that episode.
  • Originally, the opening had one Pokémon image per screen. However, after the "seizure incident" of EP038, the opening was changed to be broken up into four images per screen. The title logo animation also differs slightly between versions.
  • The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are used only in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

OP Text

Japanese English
この物語は少年サトシと This story is about a boy, Satoshi and
ポケットモンスターとの Pokémon, and
友情と冒険のお話である。 Their friendship, adventures and meetings.

Synopsis

Ash is holding a Poké Ball towards the screen. The logo appears, followed by Pikachu fighting against a Tyranitar by using Thunderbolt. Ash and his friends are then seen jumping into the water. There, a Mantine and Lugia appear swimming alongside them.

This is followed by Ash and Pikachu running with Ho-Oh flying in the background. The trainer looks at a stadium and clips of his Pokémon appear on the screen. A scene showing Ash and the others looking at a city follows, in which the legendary beasts, Celebi, Mewtwo and Mew are seen.

Ash and the others are then shown walking into a cave where Misdreavus and Crobat appear, as well as the Pichu Brothers.

Trivia

  • The fact that this, the fourth Japanese opening, is a remix of the first one is mimicked in the English dub, where Born to Be a Winner, the fourth opening, borrows heavily from the first one.
