Believe In Me
David Rolfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pokémon!
No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight
All I've got to do is believe
(And I believe)
I've got a chance to win
I'm on my way to victory
Pokémon!
I can be a Champion if I just believe
I'm on a Master Quest
Master Quest!
I want the whole world to see
I believe!
I'm gonna be the very best,
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.
Pokémon!

The infectious voice & vocals of Dave Rolfe and his creative music elevated all the songs from Johto league champions to Advanced Battle! To another level. That's why I can't forget it after 18-19 years.

Nostalgia hitting hard <3
@allen5323
Man these were the days . Pokémon was my childhood. Miss the original voice actors 😢
@JoshuaDiaz
I can't believe this is the cleanest version of the song I could find and it has so little views
@AndrewMoats
I just combined the beginning of the instrumental available on YouTube with the song. I get your point, though 🙂
@SonicRyan1992
@@AndrewMoats and that's likely the version Rolfe turned in for the opening of Master Quest & Heroes; but then the official full threw in Pokemon noise which kinda ruins it a bit bc it's drowning out the riffs
@Linix332
It's a shame Nintendo/Pokemon company don't give this theme they same love they give to the others. This is like one of the few NOT on Spotify.
@AtlasFox
I have significant nostalgia about this intro sequence and the song, I enjoyed this
@macjcb2724
man watching this after like 15 years is crazy, I still know the song word for word despite not hearing it in so long, Shows you how much I had this movie on repeat as a kid. One of my favorites for sure. And if I ever have kids (god I hope I don't) I will make damn sure they watch this movie.
@Kiki_.
everytime i watch this sequence of the movie with ‘believe in me’ playing i cry without fail, pokémon has been such a huge part of my life for so long and something about the adventurous and carefree nature of this particular segment of the movie makes it easily one of my favourites out of all of the pokémon movies
