Pokémon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (It's you and me)
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon! Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (A heart so true)
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon! Gotta catch'em all (gotta catch 'em all!)
Yeah!
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me
The time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream!
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (It's you and me)
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon! Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (A heart so true)
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon! Gotta catch'em all (gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch'em all!
Gotta catch'em all!
Gotta catch'em all!
Yeah!
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (It's you and me)
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon! Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! (A heart so true)
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon! Gotta catch'em all (gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon!)

What words can I even say, Jason?
Nothing will ever be profound enough to explain what you've done for us all. Perhaps it may sound silly, it's just a song after all, isn't it? I don't believe so. It's truly so much more. A beautiful work of magic and artistry is the closest thing I can articulate. I have to apologize, as words fall short.
We can tell you gave your all in this performance, let me speak for so many others when I say how much we appreciate it, your enormous effort to entertain us as children is not wasted on us.
My fondest and clearest memories of my childhood is waiting for Pokémon to come on at my grandmothers after school. Had the beginning of the show not had this much power, emotion, and pride in your Work, I truly believe it wouldn't have had the same impact on the MILLIONS perhaps BILLIONS of people you've touched in our hearts.
You had an entire generation singing with you. Your role in this show, and our lives is pivotal. I only wish I was able to articulate more clearly how much you've done. Your legacy is forever, we will see to it.
I'm positive I speak for many when I say:
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. Truly.

@JasonPaige
Thank you Travis. I hear your wonderful words and take them to heart thank you. I do try to invest in everything I do with my heart my soul my passion. Every action deserves our full commitment in life. Even if it's low paying demo for an unknown anime that no one knows about for a random jingle house filled with people just trying to make money for corporate clients. The passion can still come through. But more importantly it's people like you who have invested in the entire Pokemon ecosystem. Expanding your imagination and critical thinking with the games the cards the characters the anime movies and of course the music. It's your investment that has expanded the pokeverse and brought the most value to my life. If not monetarily certainly through these wonderful comments. Thank you for your thoughtful remarks. The very best. JP
