01 - Billy Crawford - Pokemon Theme (Pokemon The First Movie Soundtrack) HQ

[Tatsuyoujo]

Why do people insist on fighting with a troll on such a great song? This is about music, not fighting over seasons and generations. WE ALL LIVE IN A POKEMON WORLD! ALL OF US!

[Tatsuyoujo]

Billy Crawford could sing his ass off!

[X23SSaviourGundam]

Admit it, this is the first song you think of when you think "Pokemon soundtrack". I remember hearing this song as a kid, every other kid bouncing up and down in the theaters, singing to the song, then being friggen awstruck when we saw Donphan and where like (O)_(O)!

LOL! My mother thought I suddenly stroked because I just suddenly stopped bouncing xD

[BoricuaCubano4257]

@X23SSaviourGundam It took me 5 years later from watching it the first time to finally figured out donphan was not from kanto that was a long time ago lol

[favelaninja]

that awkward moment when you look at mewtwo and realize that tails don't start at the crotch. -_-

[ToTallJohnson]

This song, the scene, seeing Donphan for the first time my jaw dropped.

[BlankBox77]

OMG Billy Crawford sung this!!! I watch you everyday on TV and I never thought you did something great with POKEMON! BILLY is epic!!! Your now my favorite!You made my childhood fun!!!

[mikotoxxurhime]

PTBP! Billy Crawford sung it! And he's a Filipino!

[discovermeplez]

i am 12 years old, and i LOVE Pokemon, and i am boy.

[mikotoxxurhime]

@discovermeplez We all love Pokemon! hehe! :p

[crichton55]

I just turned 21 three days ago. Will I ever ditch Pokemon? I grew up in the 90's. That would translate into a "fuck no".

[mikotoxxurhime]

@crichton55 yeah! fuck no.. forever and ever pokemon :P

[Darkwolve123]

All I can say is.... Im 19 years old and im the lead singer from a Death Metal band, but what can I say XD

[agentapathy]

this was by far the shittiest album i've ever ever listened to. but man do i sure miss it.

[FullMetalSatomi]

@agentapathy Hey, this was the coolest shit ever when I was little. XD

[KineticsReborn]

Man i remember when this song started playing in the theater. Every kid was overfilled with joy.

[FirzenGX]

Funny I've always thought it was N'Sync that sang this song. Guess I was wrong.

[sarahyeahyeahh8]

I was playing my iPod in my car the other day and this song came on, i looked to my friend expecting her to tease the crap out of me, but she started singing along. best car ride ever.

[tieseltje]

i haven't heard this for a few years, now i'm really sobbing ;u;

sweet nostalgia

[LinDanFanType1]

This is my favorite game, movie, and song ever!!!!!!!

[TheNESimplicity]

I still have this CD.(Yes, I did have my dad buy me this CD when I was like 6/7)

[Pichu1232]

Oooooh my gold Mewtwo card oooooh yes This movie was my life and still is

[Pokemonworldheroes]

@Pichu1232 No offense but Mewtwo was too aggresive plus nothing beats Pikachu <3

[mikotoxxurhime]

@Pokemonworldheroes Nothing can beats ash's pokemon

[Freepunny89]

Wow The old version of Pokemon is the best now the new version is confusing af' but old pokemon movies are the best and the shows

[KailJudgementNeo]

This just in, 4kids made the series good. Have you noticed the series went down hill ever since the Pokemon company took over the series and changed the voice actors? True story.

Anything after the series Pokemon Advanced I've stopped watching. Even the movies are starting to loose its edge. Its not that I'm growing out of it, I love Pokemon. Just shame on the writers... Sexist... and boring. Female contest trainers..... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-. Bring back misty I say!

[MooshiDash]

@KailJudgementNeo

>4kids

>good

GTFO

[KailJudgementNeo]

@MooshiDash Its true, Watch the new series and compare it to the old one. Then you'll know what I mean.

[MyGamer125]

I swear; life would be so much simpler if I were born in the Pokemon Universe

[skatetennis123]

@MyGamer125 i know what you mean, but that's just escapism...can't real life be better than pokemon??

[MyGamer125]

@skatetennis123 No, not really, no.

[skatetennis123]

@MyGamer125 i guess not...but who is to blame for that?

[MyGamer125]

@skatetennis123 The world's smartest scientists, for not being able to make Pokemon real

[skatetennis123]

@MyGamer125 sorry but what i was implying is that we are unhappy due to the effect of our sins, but i shouldnt have said that. i wish you peace and security in the future, cya. n watch my videos

[Poncho151500]

I love how Pokemon unites pretty much everyone in our generation.

LOVE YOU GUYS!

[SakamaruNetoi]

@Poncho151500 It's true, I've made so many Pokefriends... I love you guys too! xD

[zambimaru]

When I saw this movie in Theaters as a kid, it was the happiest day of my life.

[CoffeeBitLPs]

@zambimaru Same! xD

[tca604]

@zambimaru I had my dad take me to see it like 4 times. and when we got in on vhs, god bless the poor man

[SuperNintendoGamer16]

@zambimaru

my brother stills has his ticket from 1998

[Commando61]

@zambimaru Same. But I remember that they were giving away special playing cards for people who went to see it, but me and my brother didn't get one because they ran out :(

[joeman123964]

@Commando61 they also gave em out if u bought the movie. it was a cool mew card. nothing is like it. hard to describe but it definately wasnt english or any other language. bunch of odd shapes where the health is and stuff. i still got the card in the movie case. ill never get rid of it.

[Zaelek1776]

@zambimaru I remember that...I freakin exploded with joy when I saw Pikachu on the big screen.

[AnimeBlahness]

fml y couldnt i go back to that time of dbz and pokemon >.<.. coming home from school and watching those shows made my day.

[sherry7t]

:-)

[PorkaDoboBOY]

Dude! I just did some research and this guy is Filipino! Pinoy Pride!

[FILOwalkerftw]

@PorkaDoboBOY

dude, Billy Crawford is very popular at filo. :))). u should know him if yer true filo :D. HAHA. ftw he's a great dancer too.. !

[yugiohlover911]

im going to try to get all the pokemon cds and dvds so when i have kids they can have the ssame childhood as i did and i will not let them wach black and white

[skatetennis123]

@yugiohlover911 lol

[blazikenowen]

@yugiohlover911 black and white is just as good as the first season dont stop them seeing it

[TheBoyInBlack]

@yugiohlover911 black and white is actually the best season since advanced battle.

besides, do you honestly believe that by the time you have children that are old enough to understand what is even happening, that black and white will still be the current season?

[starsshinenthesky]

Ninetales FTW!

[GX2000GX]

We learn a lesson from the seasons of Pokemon. Nothing beats the original.

[t13dan]

@GX2000GX u got that right! Pokemon 4ever



[Strike1s]

@GX2000GX Its a opinon, nothing else.

[GX2000GX]

@Strike1s Yes. Johto journeys were awesome, and I knida liked D&P. But Black and white and orange islands I hated.

[Strike1s]

@GX2000GX Hate whatever you want, but that does not make those things bad :D

[GX2000GX]

@Strike1s I know this. I just, personally, didn't like them.

[Strike1s]

@GX2000GX Ok, good for you :)

Still its just an opinion, nothing else.

Everyone can have their opinion, besides I've been loyal to Pokemon from the beginning and the anima has not at all changed that much, but anyways enjoy the older Pokemon then.

[WOWjman713]

@Strike1s We meet again in a nostalgic video.

Seems like you're being the opposite of a nostalgicfag,except you're an annoyance...defending the new pokemon in a nostalgic video where people hate the new monsters.

You are a stupid hypocrite in a way.

You just love pointing out that the originals aren't the best in a nostalgic video,and then flee unable to argue back and start bitching on why nostalgic people argue when you claim IN a nostalgic video that they are wrong about their facts.

[Strike1s]

@WOWjman713 Ahh opinions nothing else! hahah!

And you will not get any response again, besides its you who has problems who can not accept other peopls opinions! hahah! :D

[WOWjman713]

@Strike1s

Yeah,just leave all butthurt,on your way to go be a faggot hypocrite somewhere else and then rage blocking the next person to prove you wrong.

It's no opinion that the 1st generation is the best.

The original anime has the best music and best moments.

And the games have the best rival,best starters,best playable person & Mewtwo.

I now see that you can't argue with Red and Blue on Kanto's side,which is why you leave.

I accept opinions about liking a gen,but not about Kanto being topped.

[Adri2232]

<3

[KingIchigo]

Listening to this soundtrack is like digging up a 90's time capsule :)

[Mandikiri]

I LOVE this version!

[BadulaJohnson]

i love the movie soundtrack.

[star3catcherSEQUEL]

I remember vowing that I would be a Pokemon trainer when I was five years old, and sang my heart out to this song about friendship, sacrifice, and determination whenever I watched the first Pokemon movie. Today, five year old girls vow they will marry Justin Bieber, and sing their hearts about to songs about break-up's and dating whenever they watch "Never Say Never." ... Where did it all go so wrong?

[PKM113]

I can only imagine how my parents felt when I made them take me to the theatres to see this, especially when I started singing this in my eight year old voice.

My current seventeen year old voice is a bit better at it now. =w=

[TheRussVidz]

I MISS MY CHILDHOOD :(

[dezzo808]

mehhh i love this :D

[TheJurn]

@dezzo808 HIPBONE'S CONNECTED TO THE LEGBONE

[Guysers]

@TheJurn =TEESt

[enzomatrix209]

[wolf44k]

Billy Crawford personally sent this soundtrack CD to me when i was younger.

i was so freaking happy when i got it and i felt so special that i got an autographed copy *sigh* i miss my childhood

[bloodredmoon1993]

Billy Crawford makes this song from my childhood awesome

[SuperMangaBoy]

[LyfSukz]

Good times...

[Msasianchic]

Age 8: *hears the theme song* Alright Ima gonna catch me a pokemon >:D

[Zilla848]

[blueberri9]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I still have the broken CD but I don't have the heart to throw it away xD

[cooldamiencephas]

MEWTWO STRIKES BACK

[DeliAslanTurk]

6 people are just plain sad

[Gogeta1104]

6 people didn't have a childhood or haven't watched the 1st movie. I literally grew up with pokemon and i will never stop liking the show. Never.

[EeveelutionStorm]

[dragonite2b]

[HesDaryl]

@lovelovelove020 me too

[ShowTimeHere]

Damn, this makes me cry and think how innocent i were and belive pokemon could be real... T_T

[Exzibionperez]

@ShowTimeHere Yea the world was perfect when i was young and watching pokemon and wishing it was real.

[MarcGodfather]

@ShowTimeHere I know how you feel ;__;

[IamHeroic24]

@ShowTimeHere They will always be real in our hearts my friend *Pats on back*

[ShowTimeHere]

@IamHeroic24 I feel you bro :'(

[IamHeroic24]

@ShowTimeHere Thanks bro *brofist* But remeber we will always gotta Catch em all!

[ShowTimeHere]

@IamHeroic24 Yeah. I'm 18 and I still have the first Pokemon game on my cell phone. I guess i haven't changed at all since I was that kid. I still wish they were real :)

[IamHeroic24]

@ShowTimeHere Same even still have my original gameboy color and sp from back when pokemon was at its prime, and trust me I feel your pain bro. I wished and prayed everyday when I was a kid to catch a real life pokemon.

[Snowshread3r1282]

@ShowTimeHere They are real! They live inside all of us! You just gotta believe! lol

[blazikenowen]

@Snowshread3r1282 *catches himself* OH GOD HELP ME

[terrafirma31400]

@ShowTimeHere 

[1000whitedusts]

@ShowTimeHere yeah, me too. really, i used to dream about them when i was 10.. :p

[star3catcherSEQUEL]

... Damn, I just had a childhood flashback. O_O

[Eternitiful]

i remember watching this for the first time in theaters!!!!

[albinocuevas]

you're no. 1 billy!

[jj12j]

i came here from Sweet Victory by David Glen Eisley.

i guarantee many of you havent heard of him, but everyone knows the song.

it reminded me of this song.

[ProtoMith]

I WILL BATTLE EVERY DEE!

This is what he says at one point.

[katojikumirikuto]

THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!! TT-TT

[MrGwapoNico]

Fuck Digimon ........here were talking about Pokemon not Digimon

[DestructiveDave1900]

Great song! :)

[Babylauncher3000]

O Damn.....that just gave me goosebumbs.

[magicianscratch]

i have the poster up in my room still...

[Chewehz59]

God, I remember when I was like 13 stopping at Burger King and getting those gold cards in the awesome pokeballs, then heading straight to the theater, getting the ancient mew cards, and thinking, OMG THIS IS AWESOME!

You know what I can't blame kids nowadays being angry and obnoxious, they don't have awesome shit like that anymore!

[DanniChu1]

If you really love Pokemon you would love all the generations no matter what

[WOWjman713]

@DanniChu1 But,5th gen is digimon :S

[Hitmonchan107]

@DanniChu1 Love all generations? What do they have that can make us love them? Lack of personality? Too many neon colors? The lack of reasonable continuity?

[DanniChu1]

@Hitmonchan107 ok sorry forget what I said XD I agree with you and they are starting to run out of ideas!

[Sasukeequalsavenger]

@Hitmonchan107 you have to give them credit tho they are trying to keep pokemon on tv. Not that many shows from the 90s are on now. Today's "anime" teach kids to be stupid at least the 90s anime taught kids important lessons, like believing in themselves. they're running out of ideas true but it's not easy coming up with new characters. They should've a competion for creating pokemon have more creative minds help them from all over, like how trainers help each other with new battling techniques

[Jhakaro]

@Sasukeequalsavenger today's anime teaches the exact same values if not even better values. Fairy Tail and all those type shows. Never give up, always stay true to ur beliefs, ur morals, believe in urself and ur friends. And so on and so on. Today's anime in general do not teach kids to be stupid however if you're referring to cartoons and shows in general aimed at kids made by americans, then yes u are correct! Anime however still holds the same values as it did in the 90's!

[Sasukeequalsavenger]

@Jhakaro so far i've seen only a few that have the same values, to name them, tokyo mew mew, bleach, death note, and naruto then again i've lost faith in most cartoon channels, more so cartoon network. Do you know any more anime of the 2000s i'll check them out, but as of now i'm seeing very few anime that teach the same values. btw what do you think about the competition thing for the creators of pokemon to do. Having new creative minds may help them regain the fans they lost. good or bad idea?

[JV1122GUY]

this brings back memories

[OneSmallNintendoFan]

the only time the pokemon animes from japan and america both were equally awesome; first generation.

[jewelforever9]

ever time i hear this song i get tears on my eyes

[tlovebruh]

Welcome back childhood. :D

[Shadakaa]

Holy crap, the nostalgia. asyhfaliewjksf;lk.

[nagako18]

[Glitterthepikachu]

This song brings back memories when I was a little kid watching the movie and listening to the soundtrack. The original pokemon is always going to be in my heart. :)

[Glitterthepikachu]

This song brings back memories when I was a little kid watching the movie and listening to the soundtrack. The original pokemon is always going to be in my heart. :)

[KeybladeX31]

*cries tears of joy* My childhood in a nutshell Pokemon FTW

[r4shka]

Does anyone have the French translation of this very version? Not the lamo normal-episode song (the normal French-translated version sounds awful) but the First Movie French version? Pleeeeeaaaaase... ♥w♥

[BenjiBoi56]

Brings back so many memories...this stuff was HUGE when it first came out, though personally i reckon they ruined it (to an extent) by 'cloning' the original 151 Poke'mon and creating whacked out species...lol :P i love this song though

[TheeOnlyPhoenix]

I remember being 6 and sittin on my couch. I would rewind the intro to the movie because of this damn song. To this day, I still think this song is beautiful!!!

[HouseMeds]

Hey there is "151" Likes on the top comment......O_o... POKEMON RULES!!!!!!

[CpAndPokemonManiac98]

4 people didn't catch them all

[Entei2000]

Not bad huh, brings Childhood memories!

[StarleePie47]

My childhood <3

[michiko2]

BILLY CRAWFORD SANG THIS!? LOL WOW XD

[yankee82090]

You know you were a HUGE Pokemon fan if you just sang thius infront of your computer and OR have NO shame singing it in public.

[tca604]

@yankee82090 or if you sing this at school and everyone sings along with you XD

[biospherearcadia]

@yankee82090 Dancing and singing, man, dancing and singing

[xtyterrorx]

@yankee82090 When me and My best friend were in Senior Year, he had this CD, and We Would Blast this Song with the Windows Down, And Singing it, While We Drove around in town during Lunch.

Everyone Would Stare, But Only Cause they're Jealous that their Music wasn't as cool as Ours~

[Samus312]

@yankee82090 I actually used to do that LOL! I memorized the entire thing as well as every theme song after haha!

[Kyuutoryuu]

Im literally getting goosebumps listening to this... such nostalgia... this was when pokemon was good... I really dont feel the same watching black and white or diamond and pearl... just another Cartoon Network show... back then it was great..

[SugarRushxx1]

@Kyuutoryuu I don't like b&w or D&P either. :( I liked the orignal 150 and johto region because of snubull (he's my favorite ever XD) lol! I cried when ash turned to stone and i'm 19 and still watch it ocasionally! If you have the channel Boomerang they play the ORIGINAL POKEMON SERIES & Johto! ( I like pokemon 2 also! I may buy it on dvd someday!)

[nging4x]

i remember playing pokemon text when i was in grade four....now im already 23 haha...missed childhood days...........

[emotrainer4444]

lets bring back the old day when pokemon was popular, lets do it before next christmas

[Cjdamon042]

The first time I saw this movie and heard this theme was amazing haha. It was like the best thing ever xD Still is....
