my favorite part of the song is ''my whole life led to this time to test my skills'' just shows how much pokemon has come rn its 2022 this song came out in like the 2000 or sum i wish i was old enough to feel the nostalgia but sadly i only started in unova .
When they first started the Pokemon franchise they didn't expect the series would continue past Johto because all business analysis suggested Pokémon was thriving off of being a fad so it was likely going to fall off hard. The writers of the anime were absolutely writing around the assumption that the end of the Kanto league would be the grand finale of the series, then pushing it back to Johto being the finale, before finally realizing the franchise had enough staying power to aim to be a 'never ending' franchise. Rumor has it that the very reason why Indigo championship didn't have an Ash vs Gary fight was because they wanted it to be a big fight for the finals, with the climactic Charizard vs Blastoise fight as the big finish that leads to Ash becoming a champion, mirroring the end of the original game (early planning also likely envisioned Charmander as Ash's starter, thus why that relationship was so much more plot significant). At first they probably planned for that fight to happen at Indigo Plateau just like the game, but when it became clear the series would go on for another region, they saved it for Johto. Then when it became clear the series may go on forever they decided to just go ahead and let the big fight happen, but not have it be the finals so that Ash's story could continue. I would not be surprised if it turns out that this song was written with the intent to be the "final season" song, thus the callback to the original theme, and the lyrics sounding like the story's climax is actually right around the corner.
My pokemon theme #1 (the show opening version). Not too long, not too short, great beat and good catch part to be stuck on your head. Prime era of pokemon themes. Started to go backwards after Advanced Battle.
Someone wrote the lyrics to the song. When I said writers, I was not implying that Nintendo wrote the song, or that the writers worked for Nintendo. I was implying that Nintendo was having a conversation with the people or person who wrote the song.
I mean, even the fourth theme song in Japan was a cover of the original Mezase Pokemon Master from 1996/1997, even Pokemon Movie 05 in Japan in 2002 was a remix of the original song. Whereas in America and some places, was just taking some lyrics from the first theme song, but the instrumentation is differently. Personally, I've known the first three and Pokemon Master, but I forgot about the fourth theme.
I loved this song so much as a kid but didn't have an mp3 player so I recorded it off of my $5 computer speakers onto a shitty little tape recorder. Despite the horrendous quality, I must have rewound that tape hundreds of times
this is my FAV pokemon song this is the first one that remixes the original and NOBODY talks about it everyone justs will say xy is this is a great theme xy is good also but i just love this one
There is nothing like the Johto era of pokemon... I've watched and loved pokemon from the first season up until now that ash has become champion however the music definitely became weaker in Journeys
Man I just gotten an idea for a plot that could make a great transition from Pokémon journeys to Pokémon violet and scarlet it would be a 5 part episode where Pikachu gets pokenap by an unknown organization for whatever reason and their from paldea region and Ash and friends would have to chase the unknown intruder all the way to a underground facility within Paldea region to rescue pikachu and a few other Pokémon and Ash ends up on catching a Pokémon that is rare and unique but not exactly a legendary but from a completely different region that they never come across at least not yet

I am 26, it still gives me goosebumps.
I've been singing this for no reason for the past 2 weeks lol
@@xFATBOYDSIx How old are you?
@@EnglishLab365 26 as well lol. I just got the pokemon 2000 rental on TH-cam. Disappointing that it didn't have Pikachu rescue as a part of the movie.
Same I’m 25
I am also 26. I had a dream last night that I wanted to buy a Pokemon game last night, so I re-listened to the Pokemon openings.
I like how this song is more accurate than ever before. I feel like this would fit perfectly as the intro for the final season of Journeys
It feels like a premonition for Ash's battle against Leon. Same with Master Quest.
He cleaned up his act, thay's for sure, now if only he would actually catch 'em all.

Cap sinnoh and unova have the best themes
@@antoniogrady5954 i disagree. Also cap is a hat.
i can't believe this song is finally a reality #AshWorldChampion 😢😢😢😢
I still know the words to this song even after not watching this season for like 7 years XD I miss boomerang :(
Well it is on Netflix
@@ericsanders9847Dawg since when??
About 5-6 years ago I think when they first aired Pokémon sun and moon on there
Man this theme brings back memories. Waking up at six am on Saturday just to catch this weeks episode. Man the nostalgia.
I remember singing this song when I was like 12 and now I’m 24 years old ❤️
0:29 very nostalgic moments from the early generation of Pokémon.
I never even watched this season, but I remember the celebi movie and I also just love Johto.
johto was one of the best seasons b
I'm 28 and I still love pokémon been fan since when I was little and played the n64 game called stadium.
Nintendo: How can we make the original theme song slap even harder?
Writers: Hold our pokeballs...literally and figuratively.

im gonna cry this brings back so many good memories
My childhood 😊
me to
This song is my childhood!!
As a kid, I just wanted the OG theme forever. As an adult, rewatching, this theme is just better. Fuck yeah, Johto.
Memories of Ash fighting an Australian stereotype literally named Dundee.
Who sends out croconaw against a Pikachu
Pokemon 4ever?
Dude this goes fucking hard

I gotta admit, it is strange that no one even mentions the callback to the original opening.
I love this song more than the rest
My favorite region!
As a fisherman I took, "Gotta catch em' all", Personally. From Pinky finger to torso size I gotta catch em'
all.
Personal the last one I tried to watch was sun and moon however all openings up to sun and moon where good this is one of my favorites
so cool I
it's been 26 years this is still one of my nefew favorite anime song's
This should be the Jhoto song extended theme
born to be a winner
This is my favorite Pokemon theme along with Galactic Battles
It feels like this song was written for Ash's battle against Leon. Like some kind of premonition.
Awesome
i m 30 .. yet this is something i adore ❤
There is nothing like the Johto era of pokemon... I've watched and loved pokemon from the first season up until now that ash has become champion however the music definitely became weaker in Journeys
"Pokémon Johto League Champions"
**ASH LOSES THE LEAGUE**
Ash you rocked champion
my most favourite opening fr
This my second favorite johto theme song! (Favorite is master quest) although johto had TOO MUCH FILLER!
Nice
Ash did it…
*CHAMPION! CHAMPION! CHAMPION!*
Ash (4Kids): I won Orange League!
everytime i hear this brings me back to the celebi and suicune movie
2001-2002.
Anyone else come back here after yesterday's Journeys episode?
you better believe it!
@@louiscreed4026
Clearly, you are a fan of culture who appreciates this particular opening.
@@kamentrainerhorn2073 you are correct this one sounded more serious about ash's determination.
I actually prefer this to the original pokemon theme
I love this

Well too bad Ash is done as the main character
Sadly that is true but I’ve wrote this before I knew that Ash was going to retire from the anime
Time to test my skills ❤
It was wholesom seson but never see it fully in finland
My cinema was playing this before guardians of the galaxy vol 3 came on.
Im 22 and i still love pokemon
Cool
i cant play this full version on discord HELP

@@ericsanders9847 sanji* yes
I just the melody of 0:24
Now that I'm noticing this, the beginning reminds me of Megalovania
