Pokémon...
...Let's do it
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was (Ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner

Born to be a winner

Trivia
- The fact that this theme borrows heavily from the original is similar to how Aim to Be a Pokémon Master, the first Japanese opening theme, was remixed and used as the fourth Japanese opening theme.
- Most of the animation used in this opening is original. Only a few scenes were taken from the original fourth Japanese intro.
- In some areas, this intro did not begin at the fourth season starting episode, but much later.
- This is the only opening so far to not be translated into Danish.
- A special remix was to be made for the German version, but was cut out of the final version.
- Some international dubs, like the Finnish and CN dub version of Hindi, missed the reference to the original theme song at the beginning of this theme song, using completely new lyrics instead of the original lyrics from Pokémon Theme.
- This opening features the most Gym Leaders, with a total of ten: Misty, Brock, Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, Pryce, and Clair.
