Pokémon Best Wishes Theme Song (Chinese: 神奇寶貝超級願望主題曲Shénqí Bǎobèi Chāojí Yuànwàng Zhǔtíqǔ[1]) is the opening theme of the Taiwanese Mandarin dub of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. It is an original composition for the dub, and uses footage from the Japanese opening Best Wishes!. It was created as a result of Top-Insight, the Taiwanese distributor at the time, not purchasing the rights to the Japanese song due to a localization request from the copyright holder, The Pokémon Company.
It was used during early broadcasts of the series on YOYO TV, and from BW001 to BW030 in the 2020 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD. Later broadcasts on YOYO TV, the 2011 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD, broadcasts on momokids, and episodes from BW031 onward in the 2020 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD use the original Japanese opening.

Synopsis
Pikachu is running on a black and white checkerboard. He jumps and the series logo appears from above. Pikachu passes by different Pokémon in a forest. Then, he is on top of Zekrom followed by Reshiram. After that, he briefly flies along with them. Pikachu passes by several more Pokémon and jumps on several buildings. Next, Pikachu walks near the sea. At the shore, Unova's three first partner Pokémon (Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott) are seen and Pikachu waves to each of them. He then passes by more Pokémon on a grassy field. Pikachu is floating in the air along with the other Pokémon. The opening ends with a group shot of Pikachu and the other Pokémon.

A different direction, a different journey But this spirit of adventure will always remain constant When the map in my hands Become all yellow, old, and blurry
Where will we end up? This uncomfortable feeling Throw it all into that ocean A dream to look forward to Has given me hope and energy Listen to the sound from the bottom of one's heart Still clear as before and still very familiar I can definitely find the direction
Hey hey hey, move forward Take a stride Turn challenges into greater strength Fly into the future, beyond the top speed Chasing the dream has no end
A different direction A different journey But this spirit of adventure will always remain constant When the map in my hands Become all yellow, old, and blurry
Where will we end up? This uncomfortable feeling Throw it all into that ocean A dream to look forward to Has given me hope and energy Listen to the sound from the bottom of one's heart Still clear as before and still very familiar I can definitely find the direction
Hey hey hey, move forward Take a stride Hey hey hey, move forward Take a stride
Turn challenges into greater strength Fly into the future, beyond the top speed Chasing and chasing
Hey hey hey, move forward Take a stride Hey hey hey, move forward Take a stride Turn challenges into greater strength Fly into the future, beyond the top speed Chasing the dream has no end
