pokemon first movie song

[DarthLoI]

I remember seeing the movie in theaters... It was the like the only Pokemon movie that came to theaters in North America.

[WalkthroughBuddy]

Ive loved pokemon since i first saw it and listening to this brings back those good memories. I can't believe pokemon's changed this much. The first 151 were my favorite. I still remember all the lyrics to this song. :)

[Deviltriggerfounder]

Billy Crawford :D

[DDCrob]

I've cired about 2 times during pokemon. First was during bye bye butterfree

and 2nd was during the end of this movie

[OshawottsRule]

@DDCrob same same.....

[CinnamonJazz]

Man, I love this song!! Brings back such good memories!!

[bubblesdew6]

aww i love this song for some reason

[PokemonGuyX]

lol Justin Timberlake sings this

[max2194]

You almost hit it right, this is the theme from Pokémon Forever. ;)

[xxMRCODExx]

Therez only 1 word that can descripe a song like thiz AWSOME

[KiKiLoVedOnO]

I don't care why you did it; this song is amazing and makes you amazing by association @kakkrotfusion

And your name is epic, just saying

[Wordlaw12]

This was a pretty good song. I remember hearing this for the first time yrs ago I think I must of literally playing it 200 times.

[amaguli]

I will never forget the day that my brothers and I dragged out parents to the cinema to watch this. I was 7 years old that day. Good times.

[tenjhotenge]

@thomas658 thanks man! right back at ya!

[ShadowSoldior]

Heh...I just watched the first movie again a few weeks ago.

[beazleybeast]

pokemon is the second most popular series in gaming, right behind super mario bros. even so, after hearing this, no one could not love this song! IT IS AWESOME!!!

[Wolf0300]

its a cover no? i dont remember this voice on the movie '-'

[ak4lyf29087]

Its a shame you can't find the real video of this song :'(

[058875915]

i love how at the end of the battle pikachu owns a golem...A GROUND TYPE with its thunderbolt IN ONE FUCKING HIT.......PIKACHU WINS THE AWARD FOR BADASSERY FOR BENDING THE RULES OF THE POKEMON WORLD JUST TO WIN A FIGHT

[alexia212212]

the people who disliked this are such haters and didnt have a childhood

[TheLegacyofHitchcock]

Pretty weird looking back; the first time I heard this in the movie and Donphan came out, it was the first Johto pokemon aside from Togepi that I ever saw and wondered what it was. Then it ended up being the first ever pokemon i raised to level 100.

[Knightsofround12]

WTF this song is toooooooo catchy! I'm starting to dance without reason. Auuuh!

[reddeadspartan]

who dos not like this the 4 ppl who dont are team rocket and gevonnie

[SonicDude203]

4 people weren't taught pokemon

[foxfire1112]

Lol I know all the words from this entire scene its sad... like he says "you did it!" all annoying and laughs all crazy lmao

[joshuay54]

Vageta:KAKKROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!­!!

[slowpoke555]

I every word to this song and pretty much ALL of the themes songs to the series

[jgfhea1332]

[reddeadspartan]

@jgfhea1332 i now what your saying ive been a fan seence (fail at soelling) i can remember and im 14 and there is a 6 year old kid that think she nows ever think but she only now about the newist series

[ultimawolf2]

Knows EVERYWORD to this song :D

[kirbyfanforeverfan]

When i whas little i loved Pokemon, Pokemon Games, Pokemon Cards and all that stuff.

Right now i love Pokemon, Pokemon Games, Pokemon Cards and all that stuff.

You always stay who you are :D

[HowToDs]

Me Gusta.

[YuPokeNaruFan]

i wish i was into Pokemon when the 1st movie came out in theatres, i got into Pokemon on September 10,2004 and i have a marathon every year on that day, about 4 yrs after the movie came out, now I have every movie on tape, well not the last one, yet and i have finally finished counting my pokemon cards, i have 9,987 pokemon cards, too bad my spring break wasn't longer, i would've gotten it done sooner, i thought i had at least 10,000, well I was 13 off. Oh well, gotta catch 'em all :)

[TheDinosaurKitteh]

@YuPokeNaruFan any full sets?

[YuPokeNaruFan]

@TheDinosaurKitteh i have no idea. Most of my cards were given to me by friends who mixed all the sets together, I need to look up which cards belong to which set. I probably have all of the full sets up to DP, with very few from those sets. Actually I think I only have Acreus-all types- Palkia and Daigla from DP, yes that many from the first 3 generations, i still need to catch the 4 and 5 gen. of Pokemon

[YanksBostonMets]

Love this Movie theme!!!!

[sonicd6]

theres been a study saying that the people who play pokemon are averaged around 17 - 28 and why game freak continue aim there market at 3+ i have no idea

[michaeltulip17]

Amazing quality thank you!!!

[Littlescienceguy]

I have been looking for this song for years!!! You just don't know! Thank you so much! I remember listening to this song on Radio Disney in 1999. I can't believe it's been so long! I recorded the song off of the radio using a tape recorder, and then "...Baby One More Time" came on. lol. Good times.

[ThePokemonWiFiClub]

this movie was in the cinema? was i dead? wth

[angus7021]

Imagine how intense that would've been in the theaters. Everyone watching Ash pull out his Poke ball and Bulbasaur comes out, in sync with the music. Everyone was probably like, "HEEEEEELL YEAAAAAAH!!!"

[Littlescienceguy]

@angus7021 I saw the movie in the theater way back when. It was so cool!

[YoSoyJesus]

@angus7021

Lol dude i was there when this was happening back in 2000, more epicness could not have been achieved

[angus7021]

@YoSoyJesus Hahaha! Of course, but it sucks for me. I was only two. Luckily, my sister got this movie as a birthday gift. I used to watch the First Movie religiously.

[Zzander]

@angus7021 I can vouch for that - it was awesome.

[247MegaGamer]

THIS IS AWSOME

[fenixkaldoran]

I am 24 and i still play pokemon dont worry about what ppl say as long as you are happy kid!

[megaoptamas759]

im 13 and i still play pokemon does that mean im gay or somthin? people say im gay or i act like a little kid because i play it but ive watched it since i was little and i really like the games opinoins?

[politcalgamer]

@megaoptamas759 There's nothing wrong with Pokemon. I'm 20 and I'm still playing. You're just the age where most people are like "Pokemon is so gay! I'm too old for Pokemon!" It's a phase.

[megaoptamas759]

@politcalgamer ok thank you

[PrinceVegetaSan]

@politcalgamer So true for me it was like:

9-11 years old: "Yaaaaay! Pokeeemon!:

12-17 years old: "Wow, Pokemon's gay"

18+ years old: "FUCK YEAH! POKEMON!!!!"

I'm 21, in the Army, and I still find Pokemon interesting, at least the first 151.

[1337HxC]

@politcalgamer

I thank God that was never a phase amongst my friends...

[tenjhotenge]

@megaoptamas759 im 21, have a full time job living in my apartment with my hot ass girlfriend, driving a clunker of a honda civic, paying bills. and i still have time for pokemon baby!

[angus7021]

@tenjhotenge ^ This

[TPDManiacXC626]

All those who think this intro is better than the anime one, I SALUTE YOU! With this song plus the Raising Fighting Spirit from the Knuckle-headed ninja and his Ninetales both Ash, his pet and Naruto and All who believe in the inspiration of never giving up from them, WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

[SasukeEminem4eva]

4 people never caught em all

[hungryhungrymetroid]

Maybe Ash was born in South park.

[TheNewKiller1990]

4 people don't know what pokemon are.

[RaiOHfive]

Who else originally got mindfucked by Donphan in this movie?

[StayinOnePiece]

anyone notice ash is still ten years old after 4 regions? just how fast did he travel across those continents on foot?

[bulbaman1]

@StayinOnePiece Considering they have had TWO christmas specials that I know of I think that the pokemon company needs to start sorting the timeline a little better.

[StayinOnePiece]

@bulbaman1 Perhaps Ash is one ot those people who believe they are forever a certain age.

[Strike1s]

@StayinOnePiece I really dont think he is just 10, he might be 14, thats what I think and it sounds more logical.

[Torterra625]

@StayinOnePiece Hell, I don't know.

[DoitsuGermany]

i got a boner from this

[hauk93]

I love how they make a new version of the theme songs in the movies! This doesn't have as much nostalgia as the original theme song, but it totally rocks!

[Hazedragon97]

Absol dominates with 'super awesome scythe razor wind and shadow ball!'

[HolflandoCheese]

Ash and mistie should fuck

[BrolyHyperBlast]

aww man this brings back some serious memories. i dont watch the series anymore but im still into the video games...i gotta say it went down hill for me after the Hoen Region...the pokemon after the Hoen region just seem to get more and more stupid looking if you ask me...or maybe ive just out grown them or atleast the idea of newer ones. even some of the Hoen region ones look rediculous. ah well...its a good memory. this song was like the best ever.

[HerBeautifulRemains]

I love Pokemon and Im happy to say my names Mistie! ^_^ lol

[hersheyiscool17]

epic



[TreeckoJedi9]

@Keybug55 Not at all.

[Keybug55]

I"m almost 16 and I"m singing this...is there anything wrong with that? xD

[MoonStarWolfe]

Sinnoh sucks that picture does not belong with this legendary song the new pokemon are a disgrace to the original. Original 151 pwn all below. Funny thing is Ho-oh is in the first episode yet it's in Jhoto ;_; lol and prof. oak said it was ho-oh too xDDD why isn't it in the first 150? o,o

[FightkingSNF]

@MoonStarWolfe I wholly disagree with you on most accounts, but I never did understand why Ho-oh appeared in the very first episode.

[MoonStarWolfe]

@FightkingSNF U have to admit some of the sinnoh pokemon were really rediculous, purugly? -_- the evolved form of rhydon u do not make evolutions or pre-evolutions for Kanto pokemon! If they couldn't evolve then they can't evolve now. I like some sinnoh pkmn like shinx and pachirisu. But come ON that thing "rhyperior" is really just sad. and some of the new black and white are cute and normal but some are so stupid they're not even pokemon. It's dissappointing.

[JMDub89]

@MoonStarWolfe

True, but not all the new ones suck... Lucario is friggin' awsome! :D

[MoonStarWolfe]

@JMDub89 That's true I mean generation 5 are terrible, a select few look like actual pokemon but most of them are really just sad :[ and generation 4 were not all bad like grotle was adorible and SHINX IS THE CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD XD but pokmon like the gear thing and combee -_- and they should not have made an evolved form of misdreavus or murcrow :/

[dogsongx]

@MoonStarWolfe But strangely that's why i'm getting the new games the new pokes look so dumb they make me laugh and some are just plain awesome.

[mikethedragonslayer]

@dogsongx thats exactly why i got the new one too i mean its either lame ass pokemon or really cool pokemon i even have my aftergame battling team planned

[hopelesscasesproduct]

The solo at 2:18 is amaaaaaazing. =).

[Trollaverse]

When Donphan came out, who else thought, "WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!"

[KashaDatBitchHanyou]

@Trollaverse Meeee xD

[Trollaverse]

@KashaDatBitchHanyou WOOT!!MOVIE USED CONFUSION! ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!

[MegaCybershadow]

@Trollaverse yea and how could pikachu take out a venomoth pinsir and GOLEM

[Trollaverse]

@MegaCybershadow CUS THUNDERBOLT IS SUPEREFFECTIVE...yeah!

[masenkosuper]

this movie is awesome

[Momentum139]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS.

All of the english versions of this scene in the movie are gone now, and I couldn't find this version of the song ANYWHERE else.

[SnickerBaby09]

Bulbasuar destroyed that Elephant thing with that beam lol.........who else is picturing the first battle while listening to this???

[xXTabishXx]

@SnickerBaby09 i am!!!! brings back great memories! xD only 152 pokemon back then!

[trey1177]

@xXTabishXx  151

[BlazinBobs]

@SnickerBaby09 he defeated Donphan with solar beam! And yea I also think of that scene when listening to this

[SnickerBaby09]

@BlazinBobs Oh yea that was his name lol

[kylebr0]

[munem939]

[aliceazzo]

Now I am going to KICK THAT ESSAY'S ASS!

[magicmage316]

Is there any 90's kid here who didn't shit their pokemon undies when they saw the commercial for this movie?

[raHunterB]

@magicmage316 I wasn't allowed to have Pokemon undies. :(

But I got this movie for $5 at an F.Y.E. half a year ago. I was soooo happy.

[SmashBros1235]

[AkatsukiLover666]

[ShayiminFlower]

[AuraOkami4593]

I miss the old Pokemon so much--I miss my childhood T__T

I'm 17, and I refuse to grow up and throw away my childhood like others (meaning I refuse to do drugs, lose my v-card, smoke, etc etc).

I'm a high school senior this year, and damn, it's not fair .___.

[jomon324]

@AuraOkami4593 I'm 19 turning 20 soon, and well, I'm eventually going to have a copy of emerald, Soulsilver, and ruby or sapphire! Pokemon taught me so much in my childhood. POKEBALL GO!!

[MangaManifaction]

@jomon324 Learnt us to trap animals inside small balls and use them to fight each other, and that was normal... Lol JK, i'm 16 still playing my pokemon gold

[WizeDemon]

@AuraOkami4593 stay strong to your childhood, i am doing same, not gonna smoke, drug or w/e, sticking to pokemon n stuff, who cares if it is "childish" as most say, i freaking love it and always will no matter how old :D

[fantasticanime2010]

@WizeDemon i totally agree. kids these days dont know what they missed when pkm first aired in the early 90's. pkm fan forever.

[TheImran66]

[Geforce2187]

[SmashBros1235]

hard to belive nintendo made pokemon a video game then it became a card game, then t.v. show, toys and then movies.

Did Nintendo ever forsee the sucess of pokemon?

[NeoGuyver59]

@SmashBros1235 give the credit to gamefreak for the game and w/e company made the anime. nintendo just owns everything

[JustMatt98]

@SmashBros1235 Nope they didn't that's the funny thing :P thats why there are so many things that don't make sense in Genaration 1 when it's tied to something recently :)

[noidea4aName]
