(Notice the word official in the topic title.)

For the purposes of this discussion, I'm not counting:
-Opening sequences
-Chiisaki Mono (even though it was on the English DVD, it still doesn't count in my book)

That leaves us with:

-PokeRap
-All the Pikachu's Jukebox videos
-Don't Say You Love Me
-All the Karaokemon videos
-PokeRap GS
-Master Pokemon

Which is your favorite? Least favorite?

The original PokeRap is still one of my favorites (the rapid-fire nature of it is well-suited to a music video), along with the Master Pokemon video.
 
I think I'm going to have to abstain from this poll. For me, trying to select the "best" of the American-exclusive "Pokémon" songs is like trying to choose between the electric chair or the gas chamber.

Now, hook me up with the likes of "Pokémon Ondo", "Takeshi's Paradise", "Face Forward Rocket-dan", "Pokettari Monsuttari", and "Polka O Dolka", and then I'll be in business...
 
You should really include the Opening and Endings. Johto Journies and Johto League Champions were the two sickest English features I've heard or seen. I even tried to get a bandmate of mine to learn the bass riff from Journies, haha.

Anyway, uh, of the ones you listed... Whichever one had the line about Muk kicking ass or something was awesome.
 
I like most of the Video's mentioned in the first post except "Don't Say You Love Me".
 
Even during my younger years, I disliked practically all these songs. Pokémon was cheesy enough without embarrassments like these, and thus once the meat of an episode had drawn to a close, the channel would be changed.
“Pikachu! I choose you! Because you are my brother!”
Cringe worthy indeed.


I did find 'Two Perfect Girls' entertaining though. That one was at least intentionally cheesy, and the visuals chosen were pretty funny too. Ha-Ha funny.

Yay! I love the English Pokemon endings! ^_^

Generally speaking, the music videos from Pokemon Karaokemon are my favorite videos. I love them all! And of course, I really like Pikachu's Jukebox! Those videos are so nostalgic!! <33

Anyway, here's a list of my top favorite videos.

My top favorite music video:

"All We Wanna Do" from Pokemon Karaokemon. The song perfectly matches with each scene, and I really love the lyrics to the song. It's one of my favorite songs!! <3333

My second favorite:

"You and Me and Pokemon" from Pokemon Karaokemon. Once again, I love both the video and the song itself. This song is so beautiful!

My third favorite:

"GS Pokerap" ending. I really like this one! I guess it's because I love Johto so much, lol. Heck, I even remember when they aired the GS Pokerap on KidsWB!! XD
 
I quite like Pikachu's Jukeboxes, as well as Karokemon. I can't quite comment the others as I haven't seen enough of them to form what would be agreeably a valid opinion to be deemed so, but I would say that I like music videos along that sort for what they are in the world of Pokémon. Some of them are a little miffingly sappy for me in tone but they're confident and vivacious, colorful musical tones that generally do a good job at conveying and coloring the tone of the show's dub and themes without overlapping the cruxes of the franchise. In brief, I think it's good music upon application and good enough music in general. Not something I'd gravitate towards in my most preferred tracks, but not something I'd tatter to bits - it's music that works well for serving the Pokémon dub nontheless.

That was actually the one I hated the most. I could stomach most of these songs when I was a kid, but whenever I'd hear the opening notes to this one, I'd immediately change the channel. It may have been intentionally cheesy, but that doesn't cover up the fact that it had absolutely no dignity whatsoever.

Then I discovered "Takeshi's Paradise" and I thought to myself "Now that's how you write this kind of song!"
 
My top three favorite openings are the original Pokemon theme, Johto Journeys, and We Will Be Heroes. My favorite Pikachu's Jukebox is a tie between Together Forever and Viridian City. My favorite Karaokemon song was always You and Me and Pokemon.

My favorite would have to be either the first PokeRap or the song from Pikachu's Jukebox, "2 B A Master". Both are pretty fast paced and kinda catchy, which I like in songs.

My least favorite from that group would probably be the "GS Pokerap". Personally, I thought it was a little corny, but I guess you could say that for all the songs.
 
"You and me and Pokemon"
"2 B a Master"
"Together Forever"
"All we wanna do"
 
That reminds me; I think this is allowed because it's simply asking something factual as oppose to opening up action discussion of opinion, but does anyone know if Eric Stuart's band has done any songs for Pokemon? Just curious.

As far As I know, I don't think they did.
 
Pokerap. Probably because I'm not big on that song. I'll only listen to the Pokerap if it's in Hungarian
 
To be honest, I don't remember the GS videos that well, other than Two Perfect Girls and Song of Jigglypuff. I think by Totally Pokémon they realized they were running out of subject matter.

Well, I don't know if Eric's band has done any Pokemon songs....

But according to Bulbapedia, Eric Stuart sang "We Will Meet Again". I love that ending!! ^_^

I didn't know that although I though the guy who sings all the Pokemon dub Openings from seasons 1-8 sung it.

Another one I like is "You Will Always Be My Best Friend" or something with that title. Can't remember the actual title though.
