This the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. The reason for this is that the inclusion of animation from [[Battle Frontier (song)|the Japanese opening]] revealed three new Pokémon to western audiences: {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Lucario}}. The former two did not even have official English names yet at the time, while on top of that, Mime Jr. was not captured by [[James]] until [[S09|the following season]]. | This is the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed.

Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene. Weavile, on the other hand, is removed by replacing the frames in which it appears with others from the same sequence, thus slightly changing the way Team Rocket dances. A particular frame, however, was created from scratch by mixing three different shots (the original one, plus one for Wobbuffet and one for James's upper body, as both of them were obscured by Weavile in the original), as shown below. | Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene.
