Given how many seasons there have been of the beloved Pocket Monster anime, there are a lot of options when it comes to the best Pokemon opening sequence. In the battle of Po❀kemon ꧃generations, which ten intros are the best of the best

Given just how many diffe💫ring opinions there are on the best Pokemon opening themes, various factors were looked at to narrow it down to the ten best. The primary elements that were considered were how catchy the song is, the quality of the lyricism, and how much the opening stands out from the pack.

10 Diamond & Pearl (Diamond & P🅷earl Opening)

"You gotta take it all if you wanna be a Master..."

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Sinnoh Region was the foremost introduction to the Pokemon universe for many young fans. The games and the animated series were hugely popular and are still regarded as the Pokemon uni♕verse at its apex. Of course, with a new region also comes fresh music.

The appropriately titled Diamond and Peral served as t🐟he first theme song for the opening of the first season in the Sinnoh regio🍸n. The slick rap-rock hybrid melody was composed by John Loeffler and David Wolfret and written and performed by Chris Barczynski.

9 𒅌 Believe In Me (Master Quest Opening)

"I can be a Champion if I just believe!"

Pokemon season five saw the final adventures of the ꦛlegendary animated tꦓrio of Ash, Misty, and Brock. Given the sense of finality and heavy emotional weight, the opening sequence needed to convey these feelings well in terms of visuals and music.

Believe in Me was written by David Rolfe and John Siegler, with the former also performing the song. The opening utilized unused clips intended for earl✃y intro sequences in the series, like Born to Be a Winner and Aim to Be a Pokemon Master.

8 We Will Be Heroes (Battle Dimension Opening) 🅷

"We can change the world if we try!"

For as many Pokemon seasons as there have been, there have been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:just as many movies. Like any animated film based on a popular TV series, the production level is generally higher. So, it's hard to blame the animators for utilizing movie elements in later show episodes.

We Will Be Heroes was initially composed for The Rise of Darkrai film before being used as the opening theme for season eleven. John Loeffler and David Wolfret again collaborated here, with Kristen Price🐈 performing the opening lyrics.

7 ꦿ Battle Cry (Galactic Battles Opening) ꩲ

"We will win the battle! Galactic Battles!"

One great thing about the Pokemon series is how often the Japanese production groups work together with their Western counterparts. Of course, Japanese studio OLM is responsible for creating the anime, but there's collaboration regarding voice acting and music.

Season twelve's intro theme, Battle Cry - (Stand Up), was performed by Erin Bowman, with clips being incorporated from the Japanese version of the opening. With how fondly remembered the Sinnoh chapter of the anime is, it's no surprise that the theme songs are exceptionally composed.

6 Bor🎶n To Be A Winner (Johto Leagueꦯ Champions Opening)

"Born to be the very best!"

Given the original Pokemon's theme status in the annals of pop culture, it makes sense that the artists behind the animated series would continue to call back to it. While respecting the original is nice, not all attempts to recapture that lighting are successful.

The season four theme, Born to Be a Winner, isn't just a great reimaging of the original theme; what new flare it adds still makes its own unique creation. John Loeffler, John Siegler, and David Rolfe managed to capture magic once again.

5 Be A Hero (Kalos Quest Opening) 𒉰

"The future of the world is in your hand!"

There's a misconception that the newer Pokemon seasons aren't as good as the earlier ones. That opinion doesn't hold much water in the X and Y seasons. While the games were a bit underwhelming, the seasons accompanying them are among the most well-written.

Composed by Ed Goldfarb and performed by Ben Dixon, Be a Hero is the theme song of the show's eighteenth season and is held in high regard by the fans, with some even labeling it as the show's best.

4 Gotta Catch 'Em All (Indigo League Opening)

"Oh, you're my best friend! In a world we must defend!"

"Gotta Catch 'Em All," this simple phrase has become the slogan of the multi-billion dollar pocket monster juggernaut. Not only has this superficial expression defined the franchise, but it's also accompanied by one of the most exemplary theme songs from a TV series.

The English version of the iconic Pokemon theme was created by John Siegler and John Loeffler and performed by Jason Paige. For the next several decades, "Gotta Catch 'Em All" and its Japanese version, "Get Pokemon!" have become as quintessential as the series' electric mouse mascot.

3 💝 Pokemon Johto (The Johto Journeys) 🎃

"But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be!"

When season three of the Pokemon series rolled around, it marked the first time the show had the characters move to entirely different regions. With a new region comes 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:new challenges, new experiences, and, most importantly, a new tone reflected in the openin🍎g theme.

As the name suggests, the Pokemon Johto's opening highlights many Pokemon seen across the Johto region, accompanied by a catchy theme. Performed by PJ Lequerica, Pokemon Johto has everything you need in an opening, foreshadowing great adventures that await.

2 ꦛ Stand Tall (XYZ Opening)

"Knock me down; I'll just get up again!"

As quiet and child-friendly as most of the Pokemon series is, sometimes the stories feature surprisingly high skates. The skates were perhaps 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:never higher than in season nineteen, the final chapter of the Kalos reg༺ion saga. As such, it was crucial for the intro cinematic to convey those stakes.

While a longer, more polished version would be used in Pokemon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, th🌠e rendition of Stand Tall utilized for the show is also incredibly well done, well animated, and picturesque.

1 Unbeatable (Advanced Batt♕le Opening)

"They can never win, but they sure can try!"

You'd be hard-pressed to find a general consensus top answer for the pinnacle of Pokemon intro sequences. There are many differing opinions, and you're unlikely to get an absolute accord on a single answer from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:extensive and dedicated fanbase.

The season eight opening, Unbeatable𓂃, may not be the undisputed champion, but a🐻mong the candidates for the Pokemon intro crown, it has one of the strongest cases. Written by David Rolfe John Siegler with the former performing, Unbeatable is a masterclass in Pokemon animation entertainment.
