'''Pokémon Johto''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of the third season, [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]]. It was used from ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' to ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the third Japanese opening, [[OK!]], as well as episode clips from the third season.

The version used in the third series opening was performed by {{OBP|Johto|musical group}} and is featured on the album ''[[Totally Pokémon]]''. An alternate version was used in the opening theme to the third Pokémon movie, ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', and is featured on the movie's soundtrack, ''[[Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack]]''. This version is different from the TV and ''Totally Pokémon'' version in that it has slightly different lyrics and a different artist. It was one of the four ringtones available on the [[Pokémon Mobile]] service.

===TV version===
<ab>''It's a whole new world we live in (live in)
Pokémon Johto!

Everybody wants to be a {{pkmn|Master}}
Everybody wants to show their skills
Everybody wants to get there faster
Make their way to the top of the hill

Each time you try, gonna get just a little bit better
Each step you climb is one more step up the ladder

It's a whole new world we live in
It's a whole new way to see
It's a whole new place with a brand new attitude
But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be

Pokémon Johto!

It's a whole new world we live in (live in)
But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be

Pokémon Johto!

Pokémon Johto!''</ab>

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

Pokémon Johto!

Everybody wants to make a statement
Everybody needs to carve their mark
To stand alone in the victory circle
Stake their claim when the music starts

Give it all you've got! You can be the very best ever
Take your best shot! And what you'll learn will come together

It's a whole new world we live in

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

Pokémon Johto!
Yeah!

It's a whole new world we live in

==Trivia==
* Although ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'' officially became the opening in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', the first {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} airings as well as the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream}} presentations continued to use ''Pokémon Johto'' as the opening up to ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''.  Additionally, a small portion of the song continued in usage as the eyecatches for the final dub commercial break up until ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''.
* Until the premiere of ''[[Stand Tall]]'' over 15 years later, this was the only dub opening theme in which the last word was not "Pokémon".
* This was the first completely digitally animated theme.  However, the first digitally animated episode did not come until ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'' 13 episodes before the end of the Johto arc. A portion of ''{{so|Pokémon World}}'' was also digitally animated.
* This song is erroneously titled "Pomemon Johto" in the iTunes release of [[Pokémon X (CD)|Pokémon X: 10 Years of Pokémon]].
* The movie variant of the theme is used in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish dub}} also in the TV series.
