I know, I'm back with yet another poll question but I have got so many questions to ask opinions for ^^;;

Again, I hope that this hasn't already been asked before as I couldn't find anything...

So, what is your favourite English Pokemon Opening(s)?

Pokemon Gotta Catch Them All
Pokemon World (Orange Islands)
Whole New World (Johto Journeys)
Born To Be A Winner (Johto League Champions)
Believe In Me (Master Quest)
I Want To be A Hero (Advanced)
This Dream (Advanced Challenge)
Unbeatable (Advanced Battle)
Battle Frontier
Diamond and Pearl Rap

I personally LOVE them all so much but if I had to pick my favourite I'd say that no matter how good they all where over the years, nothing could beat the original Pokemon Theme 'Gotta Catch Them All'!

That one is a classic and will always be remembered but I also really love to listen to 'This dream' and 'Unbeatable'. They where all so well written.

Pokemon USA’s openings are ok but they just don't get me into the same excited mood for an episode as 4Kids songs used to do.

So, what about you guys? ^_-
 
I like "this dream" Idk, that music puts me in my happy place. I also like "Belive in me" and "I want to be a hero". I really like "Belive in me" Because Johto's where the start is for me, it's beginning and the end for the age I joined the fandom. "I want to be hero" is just win. (When I sing it, I say "A kid from New Bark town" Instead of "A kid from Pallet Town") I didn't like the Dp opening theme at first, because it was too rap-ish, but it's grown on me a lot, and well it's not my favorite opening, it's pretty good. The only opening song I can't sing by heart (With some I can sing the whole version, like season one) is the orange league one, because I haven't wached orange league enough to remember it.
 
Just the original one for me. Unbeatable was pretty good too, I especially liked it's use in Movie 8.

The others... meh.

And the only one I can say I outright dislike is the Diamond and Pearl opening.

Same here. I thought PUSA did a good job with the Battle Frontier opening which is why I was disgusted what they did with the D/P one.

All the others are mostly good.
 
Yeah, I like the Battle Frontier opening (well, not as much as I like the 4Kids openings, but still I like it a little).

However, the D/P opening isn't very good. It's too rap-like for me. And I don't like rap. ^^;


Anyway, my top favorite opening would have to be Unbeatable, from the Advanced Battle season.

And I agree, I love how they used the full version of Unbeatable in the 8th movie! That was awesome! ^_^


Of course, I like all of these openings as well: "A Whole New World", "Born To Be A Winner", "I Believe", "I Wanna Be A Hero", and "This Dream". All of those are my favorite openings, because I like them a lot. I really couldn't decide between those 5 openings (or 6, if you include "Unbeatable"). I really love the Johto seasons and the openings for each. But I also, really like the Hoenn openings as well. So on the poll, I voted for every Johto opening and every Hoenn opening, lol. XD


And naturally, I like the first two openings as well. The original Pokemon theme and Pokemon World are both great for that feeling of nostalgia!

But as for the Pokemon USA openings, I don't care much for them.
 
My favourites are This Dream and Unbeatable. Born to be a Winner comes up next, definatly. But after watching loads and loads of Indigo League repeats when I was younger...let's just say I'm still a little sick with Gotta Catch 'Em All. Is that like a sin or something? XD
 
Yeah, I agree with you Jorah! ^^

I'm sick of the Gotta Catch Em All theme as well, actually. XD


I mean, I'm such a rerun fanatic with seasons 1 through 8. I bet I've seen more Pokemon reruns than anyone else here and even more so. Because I would watch the 4Kids dub every time it came on TV (and that includes both KidsWB and Cartoon Network). XD
 
Hehehe. :-D

LOL, Shane!! XD


But seriously though, if there was an award for being "The Biggest Rerun Fanatic of Bulbagarden", I would definitely win it. XD
 
Advance Challenge, no doubt.

It's just so catchy, and the animation really fits the music well.
 
Huh, strangely enough it's the first four, which I never noticed to be the pattern. I get a big wave of nostalgia and excitement (because I'm a dork; shut up, I'd rather live in the past than in what little future we have) with the first song, Johto's first one is just really fun for me, and the other two are pretty much equal for third.
 
For me it's a three way tie between The First Theme, The Orange Island one and the Diamond & Pearl one. They really stand out for me from the other song because they each use a different musical style.

I really like what the makers did with the Diamond & Pearl theme song though. After 8 straight "rockish" type aongs, t was good to see something new.

It's nice to be able to see someone agree with me

As for my favorites, I like the 4th season song and the DP song the best. However, the 4th season song is a bit more deep and interesting.

I also give the 7th season song credit for having an interesting tune (my third favorite), Johto Journeys for being lively and fun and the Orange Islands for nostalgic values

But gawd-damit, if I have to hear the 1st season song again.... besides it's been overused. People try to sing it on youtube (and look awful and dumb) and the show has an unfortunate image with that song. Seriously, on 4chan, you mention Pokemon DP and some random trolls will come on and post the lyrics to the season 1 song
I hate it soooo
 
Oooh, I'm sick of Pokémon Theme too. It's the only Pokémon theme I ever fast foward through if I can. The Movie 1 version is still pretty cool, though.

Anyway, my favorite is Pokémon Johto, closely followed by I Want To Be a Hero. They're both so much fun and upbeat. This Dream and Unbeatable are take third and forth place, although that's only song-wise (cuz Unbeatable was a crapfest when it came to putting together footage into an opening).

Also, I gotta say... both Battle Frontier (dub) and Diamond and Pearl Rap are terrible imo. I can't stand either of them.
 
I agree with that, I never really liked the PUSA openings.

I really enjoyed the three dub AG openings, and if I had to choose one, I'd choose This Dream, the Advanced Challenge theme.
 
This Dream - Probably due to looping it while subbing. :p
A Whole New World - Johto hype and awesome tune. \=D/
 
I have to agree with it being either one of the Advance Generation openings or the original Johto opening. I loved the opening of the 8th movie where they had the full version of Unbeatable. We never really to get to hear the full version of the songs and it was great to hear that.
