Unlike the other dubs, the Mandarin dub subtitles the original Japanese opening and ending themes. However, for the Kanto saga of the original mainland dub, the localization team used an original Mandarin song, with minor edits made to the original video. For the Taiwanese dub and mainland redub, both dubs had instead subtitled the original Japanese theme. However, due to the request of the Japanese officials, a new Chinese theme song was used in the place of the Japanese theme when the Best Wishes series is broadcasted in YoYoTV. Nevertheless, the [[Best Wishes! (song)|Japanese theme]] was used in the fourteenth movie. In addition, the anime tends to switch back to the original Japanese theme for unknown reasons. However, the new episodes in MOD continued to use the new Chinese theme after the switch from the Japanese theme.

For the Cantonese dub, it used openings that are either originals or based on the original Japanese version. It continued up until [[Advanced Generation series]] (寵物小精靈超世代), before using the subtitled Japanese themes like the Taiwanese dub.
