Talk:Battle Frontier (English song)

Either this article or Battle Frontier (dub) needs to be deleted, since they are about the same thing. I recommend keeping Battle Frontier (dub) and renaming it The Power in Your Hands. --PAK Man 01:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Not really deleted, more like just redirected. It gets deleted, it just causes the wanted articles list to go nuts. Tom Temprotran 03:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Title

Actually, the correct title of this is "Battle Frontier". Proof is found here. It's track 14. --PAK Man 02:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that this is one of the better openings that PUSA have done but to be honest they didn't do very much with Diamond and Pearl and Battle Dimension is terrible all together.

Noteworthy Trivia?

"This song, along with I Wanna Be a Hero, This Dream, Diamond and Pearl and We Will Carry On! are the only songs in the series that aren't the theme songs of the corresponding movie." So that's 5 songs in 13 movies, or around 40%. If we started making trivia for every time something fell into what is barely a minority, the entire website would be filled with garbage. I'm removing the trivia, but if someone disagrees then we should discuss the matter... Nytik 19:13, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Extended version

"in the extended version of the opening, they appear on a joker card and dressed up as magicians in the following scene." Is it actually an extended version animation? I know that there was an audio-only extended version released in Pokemon X, and I remember seeing a youtube video of the extended version (which is now deleted), with more footage from Spurt! to fill the extra verse and chorus, but I don't think it was official. --Caciulacdlac (talk) 19:43, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Move discussion

The reason this song was dabtagged (dub) is because Battle Frontier (song) was already taken by the Japanese opening. However, it has been suggested to be moved to Battle Frontier (Japanese song), and thus this page should also match the naming convention by being moved to either Battle Frontier (English song) or Battle Frontier (dub song). The dabtag English song is also used by One (English song) (which coinidentally we also have ONE (Japanese song)), but some have expressed concerns that "English" might be inaccurate since the same song was dubbed directly into other languages which are based on the English dub. However, the page mostly only covers the English version, so it could also work. Please feel free to share your thoughts. → SuperPikaPool13 17:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I think either option is fine, but if I have to pick one, I'd go with (English song) for a few reasons:

1. The song was initially written in English; the other language dubs either use the English lyrics directly or translate the English lyrics into their own language.
2. The trivia and other languages sections are the only indication that the song was used in other languages, which is a very small part of the page.
3. The PrevNext box at the top of the page calls it an English opening theme, and the intro calls it the theme song for the English dub.
4. This would make it consistent with the disambiguation tag used for One.

So basically, tagging it as "English song" doesn't immediately cause dissonance with the page as it stands, and it still makes sense upon further thought. Storm Aurora (talk) 20:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I think it makes the most sense to go with "English song" in this case, as that is the original version of the song, and the other languages are adaptations of the English version. As Storm Aurora noted, we consistently refer to this song as an English opening theme (in the lead, categories, nav template, prev/next template, etc.), so I don't think it's a huge leap to also include that in the page title. --SnorlaxMonster 13:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Update: Battle Frontier (dub) has been moved to Battle Frontier (English song). → SuperPikaPool13 21:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
