Pokémon Best Wishes Theme Song (Chinese: 神奇寶貝超級願望主題曲 Shénqí Bǎobèi Chāojí Yuànwàng Zhǔtíqǔ[1]) is the opening theme of the Taiwanese Mandarin dub of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. It is an original composition for the dub, and uses footage from the Japanese opening Best Wishes!. It was created as a result of Top-Insight, the Taiwanese distributor at the time, not purchasing the rights to the Japanese song due to a localization request from the copyright holder, The Pokémon Company.

It was used during early broadcasts of the series on YOYO TV, and from BW001 to BW030 in the 2020 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD. Later broadcasts on YOYO TV, the 2011 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD, broadcasts on momokids, and episodes from BW031 onward in the 2020 release on Chunghwa Telecom MOD use the original Japanese opening.

Synopsis

Pikachu is running on a black and white checkerboard. He jumps and the series logo appears from above. Pikachu passes by different Pokémon in a forest. Then, he is on top of Zekrom followed by Reshiram. After that, he briefly flies along with them. Pikachu passes by several more Pokémon and jumps on several buildings. Next, Pikachu walks near the sea. At the shore, Unova's three first partner Pokémon (Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott) are seen and Pikachu waves to each of them. He then passes by more Pokémon on a grassy field. Pikachu is floating in the air along with the other Pokémon. The opening ends with a group shot of Pikachu and the other Pokémon.

Lyrics

TV version

Chinese English
不同的方向 不同的旅程
唯一不變是這冒險的精神
當我手中的地圖
變得泛黃陳舊看不清楚

我們究竟身在何處
不安的心情
都拋向那海洋
期待的夢
給我希望和能量
傾聽心底的聲音
如此清晰依舊如此熟悉
一定可以尋得方向

嘿嘿嘿 向前邁進
大步的奔跑吧
把挑戰化為更大力量
飛向未來 超越極速
追追追 夢想 沒有終點
A different direction, a different journey
But this spirit of adventure will always remain constant
When the map in my hands
Become all yellow, old, and blurry

Where will we end up?
This uncomfortable feeling
Throw it all into that ocean
A dream to look forward to
Has given me hope and energy
Listen to the sound from the bottom of one's heart
Still clear as before and still very familiar
I can definitely find the direction

Hey hey hey, move forward
Take a stride
Turn challenges into greater strength
Fly into the future, beyond the top speed
Chasing the dream has no end

Turn challenges into greater strength
Fly into the future, beyond the top speed
Chasing the dream has no end
