whats ur fav opening in the history of the anime

Mine personally is the one from the Orange Islands. I like the new Dp opening(too many legendaries though), but i havent heard the english version since it hasnt been made yet.
 
I can't really say I have a favorite because I like so many of them.
Original, Orange Islands, Johto Journeys, Master Quest, Advanced, Advanced Battle, + The Greatest Everyday, even though I don't understand it at all.

I like the other 4kids openings, but not as much as those.
 
For pure nostalgia, the first one. It still takes me back to the days of my childhood, and it's a great song.

The Orange Islands opening was great and I loved the Johto and Hoenn openings...basically, I love all the 4Kids ones. I don't really like the PCI openings except for We Will Be Heroes.

Japanese wise, I love all of them, excluding High Touch.

Hmmmm...well,dub-wise,the Jotho-Champions one is my absolute favourite...Just couse I liked the song a lot haha

From the originals,SPURT! for its animation and how it brings so many characters back ( and its false advertising for how the season really plays out with all of those characters making no cameos at all!!)...second is a close tie between Greatest everyday,Advance challenger and the Opening for the Raikou special.

I agree! I have friends who haven't watched Pokemon in years and they still can sing that beginning.

I am also quite fond of We will be Heroes
 
I'm behind in the times. The original Japanese opening was amazing and my favorite.
 
In English my favourite are

1rst - I wanna be a hero
2nd - Battle Frontier
3rd - Pokemon World
4th - Born to be a winner
5th - We will be heroes

For sheer nostalgia : the original Pokemon theme Just classic.

My least favourite : Believe in me and This Dream

Japanese opennings

1rst - High Touch 2009
2nd - The Greatest Everyday!
3rd - Together tied with Aim to be a pokemon master

Those are the only ones that really stuck in my head... No clear misses in the Japanese opennings... Oh wait... yeah Pokemon Symphonic Medley the day I heard this is the day the music died.

I loved the first English opening and I Wanna Be a Hero. I could never resist singing along to either of those. Not to mention the awesomeness packed into both of those.

If I had to rank English openings:

13. Chronicles theme [ugh, that was awful]
12. Diamond and Pearl (10)
11. Battle Frontier (9)
10. Unbeatable (8)
9. We Will Be Heroes (11) [Wasn't overly fond of it]
8. This Dream (7)
7. A Whole New World We Live In (3)
6. Believe in Me (5)
5. Stand Up (12) [The second one, obviously]
4. Pokemon World (2)
3. Born to Be a Winner (4)
2. I Wanna Be a Hero (6)
1. The original (1)

Notice how much higher the 4Kids openings are than the PUSA/TPCi ones.

Haven't really seen/heard many Japanese openings. Greatest Everyday is epic, but the song got a bit annoying and there were far too many legendaries. Aside from that... very awesome.
 
"Mesaze Pokémon Master" is a huge nostalgia bomb for me. Pretty impressive feat for a song I didn't grow up with.

All three Jouto openings are awesome. "OK" is pure adventure, "Mesaze Pokémon Master 2001" is a great update of the classic theme, and "Ready Go" is a very cool departure from the norm. Kind of ironic that the most boring episodes got some of the best opening themes.

"Battle Frontier" and "Spurt" are undoubtedly the best of the Houen episodes. They're fast, they're adventurous, and they just hit you with so many great moments.

Shinou hasn't shown me many great themes yet, though. The first two were too happy and bouncy for this show. I haven't seen "The Greatest Everyday" yet, though, but from what I hear, it's much more in the vein of what I like to see.
 
Greatest Everyday. Can't wait for the full version!
 
"Mezase Pokemon Master", "Spurt", and "Saikou Everyday" are all tied in my opinion. In terms of English, the Original, "A Whole New World We Live In", "Battle Frontier", and "I Wanna Be A Hero" are tied.
 
Wow, I have a lot. But first three:
1. Johto Journeys.
2. Master Quest.
3. Advanced Battle.

Japanese:
1. Spurt.
2. High Touch.
3. The Greatest Everyday.
