Lyrics

TV version

Pokémon!
It's a battle, win or lose
It's the friends you make, it's the road you choose

You've got the right stuff
So make your mind up
Find the courage inside of you

If you're strong you'll survive
And you'll keep your dream alive
It's the Battle Frontier
Pokémon!

Be the best you can be
And find your destiny
It's the master plan
The power's in your hand
Pokémon!

Trivia

  • This song was featured in Another One Gabites the Dust! with slightly modified lyrics. The line, "It's the Battle Frontier", was changed to, "Let the battle begin", and is therefore re-titled Let the Battle Begin.
  • This is the first English-language opening where Team Rocket does not appear.
  • This is the only English-language opening that was not also used as ending (the ending for the ninth season was the rap portion of Pokémon Go!).
  • A karaoke version of the song was released on the German Anime Hits 6 CD.
  • The Indian Disney XD Hindi/Tamil/Telugu dubs used an instrumental version of the song as the opening for Battle Frontier, rather than a dubbed or the English version. It was however dubbed later for the episode Another One Gabites the Dust!, translating "Let the battle begin" into the three languages instead of translating "It's the Battle Frontier".
