This the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. The reason for this is that the inclusion of animation from [[Battle Frontier (song)|the Japanese opening]] revealed three new Pokémon to western audiences: {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Lucario}}. The former two did not even have official English names yet at the time, while on top of that, Mime Jr. was not captured by [[James]] until [[S09|the following season]]. | |||
Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene. Weavile, on the other hand, is removed by replacing the frames in which it appears with others from the same sequence, thus slightly changing the way Team Rocket dances. A particular frame, however, was created from scratch by mixing three different shots (the original one, plus one for Wobbuffet and one for James's upper body, as both of them were obscured by Weavile in the original), as shown below. | |||

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest

The sea and sky
They can never win, but they sure can try
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable

And it's always there to guide me

Opening animation spoilers
- The return of Phanpy.
- The capture of Azurill.
- The capture of Munchlax.
- The capture of Squirtle.
- The capture of Mime Jr.
Variants
- Clamperl of Wisdom - Solid as a Solrock: The original animation.
- Vanity Affair - Pasta la Vista!: Mime Jr. and Weavile are removed from Team Rocket's scene; the shot of Lucario and Mew is replaced with a clip of Pikachu using Iron Tail.
This the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. The reason for this is that the inclusion of animation from the Japanese opening revealed three new Pokémon to western audiences: Mime Jr., Weavile and Lucario. The former two did not even have official English names yet at the time, while on top of that, Mime Jr. was not captured by James until the following season.
Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene. Weavile, on the other hand, is removed by replacing the frames in which it appears with others from the same sequence, thus slightly changing the way Team Rocket dances. A particular frame, however, was created from scratch by mixing three different shots (the original one, plus one for Wobbuffet and one for James's upper body, as both of them were obscured by Weavile in the original), as shown below.
Trivia
- This opening has the most Pokémon species in it, with 72.
- Also, this opening has the most Pokémon in it, counting the same species. The scenes featuring wild Pokémon in their natural habitats feature roughly one thousand of them.
- This opening also has almost every Legendary Pokémon released up to Generation III, excluding only Lugia.
- The closing credits feature a shot of Zapdos and Moltres flying past Ash, which is not present in the opening credits.
- This is the first opening to feature Pokémon that were from Generation IV that had not yet been revealed outside of Japan.
- This opening features the Battle Frontier symbol along with the Frontier Brains, all of whom are shown as shadows with the exception of Noland. This is because it uses footage from the first variant of the Japanese opening, which had the Frontier Brains revealed in the sequence as they debuted in the episodes themselves.
- Coincidentally, Noland is the only Frontier Brain to appear in Advanced Battle, while the others did not appear until the next season.
- A karaoke version of the song was released on the German Anime Hits 5 CD.
