===Trivia===

* The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are the symbols for the [[Generation I|(then)]] seven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}.

* The song can be heard in the instrumental version of ''[[High Touch!]]''.

* At one point of ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'', Ash and {{un|Cameron}} hum this theme in the Japanese version. However, it was not kept in the English dub.

* An instrumental version of the original version of this song appears in both the Japanese and English versions of [[Pokémon Pinball]] when the player is attempting to catch or evolve a Pokémon.

===Variants===

#[[EP001]] - [[EP002]]: The original animation. During the Pokémon images scene, there's a picture of a {{p|Kadabra}}, but it reads "{{p|Alakazam|Foodin}}" on it.

#[[EP003]]: The Kadabra error is corrected, and an actual Alakazam picture is put in its place.
