I've written some English adapted lyrics for "Mezase Pokémon Master", the anime's first Japanese opening. Borrowed a bit from Jeff Wedway's dub of the song on YouTube, but the lyrics were mostly adapted by me.

---------------------------------------------
I'll catch 'em all, no sweat!
Through the fire, and the water, and the grass, and in the forests, and all throughout the dirt
Lookin' in this stuff, I know I'll find 'em, or maybe they're somewhere in that skirt (Aaah!)
It's a very, very, very, very, very, very, very tough task to take on,
but I'll tell you what I'm sure of: I can do it
I've gotta catch 'em aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-all!
Farewell, Pallet Town. Gotta make a move on
Everything starts today, isn't that true? (Pikachu!)
We'll use what we have gathered training through the day
and keep on getting closer, making friends along the way
You should know I always take my shot with everything I've got
Even though I won't be getting any wages (Ain't that the truth?)
And there's nothing we won't see if we live valiantly and free,
because you're all right here with me
Through the fire, and the water, and the grass, and in the forests, and all throughout the dirt
Lookin' in this stuff is getting harder, so maybe I'll re-check in her skirt (Quit looking!)
It's a very, very, very, very, very, very, very trying trial to take,
but I'll tell you what is certain: I can do it
I've gotta catch 'em aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-aw-oo-all!
Battling's pretty tough, gotta say "good night"
Though I haven't had enough, I'll sleep tight (Pikachu?)
But as I close my eyelids, something makes me grin:
The thought of something like that fight to happen yet again
Now the foes of yesterday are the allies of today
That old saying's resonating deep inside me (What do ya' mean by old?!)
And I know that the ones I meet will always help me greet
my rivals, that is quite the feat
Woah, it's my greatest dream!
A Pokémon Master I'll be!
No matter the cost, whatever the loss,
my dream'll come true, you'll see!
Those who say hopes and dreams are just a few more steps away
They're the ones who'll always view their lives as joyous
I know why, it's 'cause they're like a flower that'll never die
They keep on growing throughout time
You should know I always take my shot with everything I've got
Even though I won't be getting any wages (Ain't that the truth?)
And there's nothing we won't see if we live valiantly and free,
because you're all right here with me
Woah, it's my greatest dream!
A Pokémon Master I'll be!
No matter the cost, whatever the loss,
my dream'll come true, you'll see!
Woah, it's my greatest dream!
A Pokémon Master I'll be!
No matter the cost, whatever the loss,
my dream'll come true, you'll see!
