Pokémon World is the opening theme song for the English dub of the second season, Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands. It was used from Pallet Party Panic to The Rivalry Revival. The opening animation is composed of clips from the second Japanese opening, The Rivals, and clips from the episode Pikachu Re-Volts. It was written by John Loeffler and John Siegler and was sung by Russell Velázquez.

A version sung by Youngstown and Nobody's Angel was the opening theme to the second Pokémon movie, The Power of One, and appeared on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon the Movie 2000. It also was one of the few English Pokémon songs to get its own official single.

A non-lyrical version is featured in the game Pokémon Puzzle League as the theme song for Gary Oak.

Lyrics

So you wanna be the Master of
Pokémon!
Do you have the skills to be

I wanna take the ultimate step
Find the courage to be bold (Pokémon)

The lessons that I hold
I wanna go where no one's been
Far beyond the crowd (Pokémon) Yeah!
Learn the way to take command
Use the power that's in my hand
Oh hey!

We all live in a Pokémon world
(Po-ké-mon)
I wanna be the greatest Master of them all!

Trivia

  • This is the first English theme to be partially made with digital animation, the portion in question being the power display by Misty's Staryu, Ash's Snorlax, and Ash's Charizard. The first fully digitally animated theme was this song's successor, Pokémon Johto.
  • The movie version of this song features a duet, making it the first dub opening to feature a duet, while the opening for the TV series was still a solo performance. An opening duet for the TV series would not happen until High Touch! in the original, and Black and White in the dub.
  • For reasons unknown, the European Portuguese dub used their version of Pokémon Theme instead.
  • Despite leaving the TV version undubbed in English, Bulgaria, Iceland, and Slovakia did dub the song's movie version as well as the movie version of Pokémon Johto.
