Best Pokemon Theme Songs

This song is really the best Pokemon theme song, it teaches you to carry on, it's about your destiny, it teaches you to follow your heart, it's about never giving up, even if you fail, don't get upset, instead make a fresh new start, and most importantly always follow your dreams, if you fail, try once more, if you fail again, try twice, life is all about following your heart against your mind, mind always wanders in different directions, but always listen to heart. Never give up, because life is a very long time and make the best use of your life, this song will really inspire U. Always remember crying won't help. Always look at your present and future, find your own destiny, wish you good luck!

While this one would likely hit my top 3-5, keep in mind that the original's votes are split (14% for "Indigo League" and 8 for "Original Pokemon Theme Song") - making it the clear victor, which I would lend my agreement to. However, when I wouldn't vote a song this good #1, you know how good the general quality of these themes is.

While I love the original theme this is my favorite, I know because it's the only one I can listen to on repeat without getting sick of hearing it. It has so much energy and great animation plus it just feels the most alive of all the theme songs. It gets me psyched to play the Pokemon games.

I Agree this must be first. Well this song is describes the main characters and the Pokemon what are they all about. masters train their Pokemon to be unbeatable. this is what all Pokemon about. this song suits Pokemon characters. listen the song with your ear and you will find the difference between other songs and this song. please listen to it.

This theme is so overrated, and it doesn’t describe Ash that well. His goal is to become a Pokémon master not catch every Pokémon he finds. Anyone who likes this theme the best is just as dumb as Ash.

How is this not #1?! Best and most nostalgic theme by far! All the others have cheesy lyrics and light music. Not this one! It's got rocking' GUITAR, a great beat, and a phenomenal singer with great lyrics, and all of those traits rolled up into one make possibly the best theme in Pokemon history. Incredible theme that will surely stand the test of time.

Some japanese pokemon theme like high touch 2009 is better than this! How could this be number #1 but I'm not sure if it's the best Pokemon English theme because I haven't watch pokemon dubbed (I only watch pokemon in japanese)
I suggest you change it to "Best Pokemon ENGLISH Theme Songs" or I could be confused and saying "why isn't any Pokemon theme I know in there)

Come on! This is the first and best Pokemon Song! Almost everyone knows this song heck even the Internet Generation have this song engrained in the brains cause of how popular it is! Its what bring us Pokemon Nerds together and teaches us great morales. Ok maybe a sight exaggeration but that's basically what this song is. YOU TEACH ME AND I TEACH YOU PokemonN!

It's all about your destiny
Pokemon songs are really good, they teach you to believe in yourself, always keep going. They really inspire you a lot. They tell us to move on and always follow your destiny. My favorite Pokemon song is :if only tears could bring you back to me. The song is really good, listen to it as soon as possible.

This song is truly great. It has great, empowering lyrics and very motivating. By the way, Indigo League is probably so high because of nostalgia. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, but it isn't the 2nd best.

This is really good! The guitar in the beginning is beautiful! I watch Pokemon today, but I wish the English dub had rock and roll theme song and not soft like black and white! Pokémon xy's theme song is good but it would be better if it was extended and the old one!

Another brilliant one. I think the classic is better and deserves number 3 but it's still brilliant.

Its catchy fun and easy to memorize. It talks about friendship, determination and success in the making.
And it's the only Pokemon theme people from all generations can remember

Such an inspiring song! If it's not number one just because of the actual song and lyrics, it should be number one just for being the first theme. Isn't this how it all started?

How can this not be the best theme! It had the best lyrics, the best tune and the best kick to it! This theme was the only Pokemon theme to have ever won an award.

Already seen this twice, Indigo League is the original theme song. It's good, but not that good.

Come on guys, Johto Journeys is the best theme song in Pokemon.
A catchy tune, great inspiring lyrics and overall, an awesome song.

I liked this one but still like the original theme better. But the Johto song IS catchy and fun!

It's a whole new world listening to this one (I got that from the theme song)

Pokemon Johto! Come on, this should be higher up guys!

Diamond and Pearl theme is actually well put out that it has a great beat to it. I like this really well.

I think galactic battles should take this one's place. It's alright but that is so much better.

Absolutely love this. Has a very rockish-nu metal thing going on. Just wished this badass theme was longer...

This is the annoying rap song, not galactic battles or battle dimension

Taking some memorable lyrics from the original theme and adding its own funky spin to it makes for a fantastic, catchy theme. Even though my favorite seasons were later on in the series, this particular theme is my favorite.

It may be a small detail, but I think what makes it my favorite is when Ash jumps off charizard and the "Joh-to" thing plays just perfectly in sync with ash and pikachu. I don't know why, it was just awesome. The lyrics are also super catchy

Obviously Indigo League is the best but I would say this one is a close second. 'Born to be the very best' -- how can you not love this song?!

Johto League will forever have a special place in my heart. All the theme songs are great but Johto's is the most memorable.

The newer songs. Gives us a taste of the development of the series and how it has changed. Showing the different type of friends and rivals he has as the series developed form the indigo league all the way to the diamond and pearl franchise

This is definitely my favorite song, besides the season 1 song. I think it just captures the spirit of Pokémon perfectly and it suits well to the rivalry between Ash and Paul. Also, I prefer the theme songs that are based on a guitar. It gives ao much energy and make you believe you can do it!

Come on! This should easily be too 5. It gives me so much hop and my heart is filled with pride when I sing it. After listening to that song, I'll never give up and I'll hold my head up

I agree this should be top 5. It gives so much hope to whoever listens to it. After that song I'll never give up and I'll hold my head up.

Love this song it's my favorite meant to vote for this one my fault

This and Galactic battles are easily my favourites. Deserve much higher praise.

Yeah this deserves to higher. Pulls the heartstrings

Pokemon themes are not just a theme. They are supposed to be some kind of inspiring song, like black and white, battle frontier, master quest, indigo league and johto league. But this is some of the best I've seen.

If you strong you Survivor Andrea YouTube keep YouTube dreams alive

I love this song! Got me so hyped for the episode

I like the tune at the beginning.

Better than the original Indigo League theme song, (the remix). Not too much better though.

I wanna be the very best that no one ever was... Indigo Plato 1999

Sexiest Pokemon theme song. Rawr.

Yeah pretty catchy. I gotta admit I do find myself singing "we come so far we've fought so hard to get where we are" It gives me a bit of courage when I'm thinking about quitting. It's not my favourite and comes from a disappointing region but it should still be acknowledged

This intro isn't that catchy.
Gotta say the effects in it are amazing.
But the words aren't Pokemon like enough!

Probably the best opening in probably the worst Pokemon Season.

I like the Intro and the song what's the show that good

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! How is it 17th?! It just gives me confidence to watch and listen to the theme! Though that could be because it sounds like most of my favorite music...

I'm always singing this theme and it is always stuck in my head

This song is best song ever. I like this song better than pokemon rival distinies

Best one I have heard and I watch all the seasons

Message for below: it's not a ripoff. The Kalos region was meant to recapture the fans of the first few games/seasons. It's pretty good, but not great.

Great song wish it was longer though

Epic! Good beat! Better than original!

Ripoff of original theme song

People say it is freaky, but I enjoy second best to sunyshore City. I like the high pitch tune and the beats.

I don't think it's scary. I even think it's relaxing.

Well, this is cool 2...

People

Rival Destinies is just as bad as Black and White intro. Why does the Unova region has the crappiest intros, Pokemon, legendaries (except Kyurem), and protagonists besides Ash?!

To be honest rival destinies is actually really good but it's brought down by everything else in unova thus it has a bad name. Higher please

Rival Destinies honestly is my favorite song it has ash cilan and iris in it And it has my favorite Pokemon in it SNIVYYY!

The worst intro ever. Words aren't as good as the other intros.

This song is Great! It's so catchy and it fits the feel of the season and it's a great send off for the 4Kids dub.

The best one for sure with master quest

This is the same as #1... Advanced battle

This is just the best

The song is full of power and I really love it. Should listen to whole song (fan made) the song is fantastic I wanted to make even a learning version for the end of primary school. Best song ever

This deserves to be higher up it's a good theme

That opening is stuck in my head!

I don't know why I picked this
