The first English opening theme of the Pokémon animated series, known officially as "Pokémon Theme," is a playable song exclusive to the North American version of Donkey Konga. It is a rock song written by John Siegler and John Loeffler and performed by Jason Paige.

Unlike many songs in the North American version of Donkey Konga, "Pokémon Theme" is not a cover. However, it is neither the short version broadcast as part of the anime nor the full extended version in Pokémon 2.B.A. MasterDonkey Konga's version of the song cuts after the second chorus with minimal audio editing.

LyricsEdit

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all) It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon) Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all) A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
Yeah

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me; the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm, we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all) It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon) Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all) A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
