[Lyrics] Sometimes it's hard to know, Which way you're supposed to go. But deep inside, you know you're strong. If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong. Sometimes it's hard to see, Just what's your destiny. But when you find the path that's true, You'll know that's the one for you. Stand up! (Stand up!) For what is right. Be brave! (Be brave!) Get ready to fight! Hold on! (Hold on!) We're friends for life. And if we come, together as one, Complete the quest, that we've begun, We will win the battle! Pokémon! Woo-hoo! The time is now, the game's begun! Together we will fight as one! Each of us, in our own way, Can make this world a better place. Stand up! (Stand up!) For what is right. Be brave! (Be brave!) Get ready to fight! Hold on! (Hold on!) We're friends for life. And if we come together as one, Complete the quest, that we've begun, We will win the battle! Pokémon! Just when it seems that you are lost and all alone, You will find the courage and the strength to carry on. And if you fall along the way, Have the faith you'll be okay. 'Cause your friends are there for you, Reachin' out to pull you through. Stand up! (Stand up!) For what is right. Be brave! (Be brave!) Get ready to fight! Hold on! (Hold on!) We're friends for life. And if we come together as one, Complete the quest, that we've begun, We will win the battle! Pokémon!
This mans a right liar, dp started airing 2007 at earliest in the America's, 2009 for this opening specifically. Stating that you are 21-22 when you wrote the comment would imply you were 11-12 at the time of airing, maybe 13 counting the reruns before black and white started airing. This was probably a waste of time but this comment activated my tism for some reason and I had to go through with it. Whatever, let my final point be, don't lie, not even on the internet, liars go to hell
@@3DSGameHut people can start any season whenever though. doesn't mean he started when it 1st released on air. His 1st season could have started on dp when he started high school but he never said anything about when it aired on TV . Maybe online idk
ikr it makes me wana cry till sinnoh and unova was solid too thats my fav i love it! and its nice too see others who still love pokemon i didnt like sun and moon or journeys at all idk its just sinnoh will always be remembered
Out of all the Diamond and Pearl theme songs, I think this one is my favorite. It just has such a strong, tenacious feel to it by keeping the team of heroes together, hold a strong friendship, and do what they believe is the right thing to defend the world. It just has so much encouragement, energy, freindship, and tenacity from within its strong lyrics. I just.......I just love it. I'd say this is one of my favorite Pokemon anime theme songs of all time. Anyone else with me?
100% agree, this is top 3. The OG song is untouchable for nostalgic reasons, of course, but this is just as great musically. And third for me is Johto Journeys song (first Johto season). Diamond and Pearl 1st season theme song is great as well, love the rock/rap style of it, its unique. Honourable mention to Orange Islands, its just so unique lol, always brings a smile to my face :)
Pokémon Platinum was my first Pokémon game and when I was younger I used to get up and watch this and the entirety of the sinnoh arc on tv. Gen 4 was amazing and will always be my favorite. D/P/PT & HG/SS are amazing and always will be, I have such fond memories of Sinnoh. I don’t know how someone could really hate Gen 4. I could get disliking it but I guess it’s just special to me because of my memories. I hope we get a Sinnoh remake someday just for the sake of getting to re-live nostalgia. This intro along with Sinnoh league victors and the XYZ opening are awesome. Edit, Nov 27 2021: WE DID IT! WE GOT SINNOH AGAIN, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
FireRed was my first Pokemon game, got it Christmas of 2007, but Diamond was my second, which we got like two days later. Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game and favorite game probably ever, to be honest. I would always wake up on Saturdays to watch the anime as well and I had tons of cards. I was obsessed. I've probably replayed Platinum... maybe over a hundred times at this point. Might be overexaggerating that number, but the sheer amount of times I've played through the game, be it romhack, randomized, or just plain vanilla is more than I can count. Gen 4 had so much life put into it and everything about them was just PEAK Pokemon. I really hope that Sinnoh remakes happen, but I want them to be *good* remakes. Sword and Shield's disaster worries me and I don't know how well Game Freak is going to pull off Sinnoh remakes.
Pokemon Pearl and Platinum were my first games and the Sinnoh arch was my first series. They will always be the best games and the best series ever. I was 5 when I first got into Pokemon. I think I remember one of the Hoenn openings, the one where the group are on a hill. That's what started my love for the show but it wasn't until the Sinnoh arch etc that I actually got into the show. That was 12 years ago and I am now 17... I still have my Platinum game. I lost the Pearl one. I also have Heart Gold.
Hi I'm calling from 2021 and boy do I have a surprise for you! (Also Sinnoh League Victors in my opinion has the worst English opening so far in my opinion, but I agree that this one is awesome, top 3 for sure)
I unconsciously have avoided listening to this song and We will be Heroes since I was a kid because I felt I would get too emotional in a way. And I was right. Those movies and songs gave me so much hope back then. I can't explain it but it's like I'm back then, listening to this for the first time.
Honestly this is the best theme song that’s come from the post 4Kids seasons in my opinion. Lyrics are great, the music is fantastic and I get goosebumps when I hear it.
This, the original, and Unbeatable are like the golden trio of Pokemon theme songs. Or maybe swap Unbeatable with the first Johto theme, idk. The first 8 seasons themes are all so good!
@@SamR1995 That theme's pretty special to me too actually, since I think I own Orange Islands on DVD lol. Or maybe I don't I'd have to check... for whatever reason though I know I've (re)watched Orange Islands the most
I have actually been writing something for Pokemon Special Manga that includes zombie mutants of pokemon. Here is one of the mutants you may encounter. The Gulpers (Water) - Warped Pokémon that have water as their primary typing eventually mutate into Gulpers. Due to the bacteria amplifying the Pokémon’s water powers, it causes the cells in its body to swell turning its body gelatinous. They mainly live in or near bodies of water, in the sewers, and even in areas that have become flooded. They can’t stray too far from the water otherwise their moist bodies will dry up; however when it rains they are known to go farther inland. In order to protect themselves they cover their bodies in a thick slime that not only helps them move very easily in the water and on land but it also protects it from physical attacks. Because of the slime any attempt to melee or grapple these creatures is pointless because any punch just slips by. It also doesn’t help that they can spray slime at an attacker making is so slippery that they can’t even stand up without slipping; also any weapons or pokeballs you have will become impossible to grab onto. Since their bodies are mostly water and have very flimsy skeletons, they have a relatively weak bite force so they tend to swallow their food whole hence the name “Gulpers”. They have large gaping mouths and expandable stomachs that allow them to eat large prey as well as tiny hook-like teeth that prevent prey from escaping their mouths. One method of dealing with their slime is to throw sodium polyacrylate over the slime; sodium polyacrylate is super absorbent can absorb 100-1000 times its mass in water. This can be used to get rid of the slime and if you find yourself swallowed by these guys; just pour this out into their stomachs and watch as the water is drawn out of their bodies and die from dehydration. Another good method is to wrap your hands with cloth so that you can hold onto to you weapons better. Finally if you have access to them, try using potassium core bullets. Since potassium reacts violently with water it will explode once it enters their wet bodies, giving maximum damage; however be careful storing them as they can explode on you too.
@@johanroyce6324 i once had a charcter whos grandfather wanted her to takr over the ground gym She didn't so they agreed if she could win the pokemon league she wouldn't have to be the gym leader
Diamond and Pearl rap: most nostalgic of the Sinnoh themes We will be heroes: has great emotion and makes you want to watch the Sinnoh arc over again Battle cry: most bad ass Pokémon theme out there and incomparable to any of the others Sinnoh league victors: shows just how great the Sinnoh arc was, especially when played through that final battle between Cynthia and Flint
This one is the most nostalgic for me personally, I definitely recognized the rap but it was too short to be that impactful. Battle Cry stuck with me growing up lol
Lol this theme is destiny, friendship , life goal , achievement song ,and you are saying bad ass song🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 which part of this song looks badass to you anyway wtf go and check meaning of badass
I know the song came out before XY Anime existed, but I wanna use this for a "I want Serena to come back forever" button. (Maybe Greninja if possible, but it doubt it) I know Brock is a great character, but Serena is just perfect.
Hello. I'm 16 today. I am currently watching galactic battles. I've decided that i will watch whole pokemon series. Theme songs of battle dimension and galactic battles are the best I've ever heard.
We will saddely miss them. They are the reasons we watch Pokemon. He became World Champion but not Pokémon Master (that tittle doesn't exist 😂) We didn't get to see Ash Father after 25 years. That's so odd
My Theory: After Kanto, in the I Choose You! Movie, Ash's father passed away when he went to the Johto region, when he eats the food in the clip he starts to cry, did his father die?
I grew up with galactic battles and diamond and pearl in general and now that I'm almost 17 i find myself constantly coming back to listen to the theme song or rewatching whole episodes just acting like I'm a young kid again to make my inner child happy in a way?
I just finished watching DP for the first time. It will 100% be in my heart forever. I love Infernape, Buizel, and all of Ash's Pokemon. I love the hell out of Dawn and Brock, and their pokemon too. I love the characters, the arcs, the battles. It is truly a Pokemon masterpiece. The weird thing is, the series was very nostalgic. Diamond was my first Pokemon game, but I never watched the anime at the time. The game has such great memories and nostalgia attached to it, as well as the Sinnoh region itself. Unless TPC dishes out some hella good seasons, this series will always be my favorite.
As one who started on the Sinnoh saga and heard this as their first opening I can honestly say that it is still one of my favourites. The song itself fills me with nostalgia and the verses of: “Because your friends are there for you. Reaching out to pull you through” really hits hard as it’s true. One’s friends are usually there for them. Thank you Pokémon for teaching me these lessons.
Such nostalgia! This was the first series I watched since I became a fan of Pokémon. It was one of my favourite songs I had ever listened to, and still is.
@@soapflavour7547 It's 25 years old as of this year so I don't see a reason why it can't grow to be 100. Mario is 35 years old and is still going strong.
I never played any Pokémon games in my life nor watched any shows with it. Got interested playing one of the games and now currently binge-watching the anime that I started about 2 months ago. I am currently and Black and White but so far this is my fav op so far and never skipped an intro on an episode with this 🔥🔥🔥
This is without a doubt the best opening song that pokemon has ever or will ever have. I could listen to it until I get a headache and I wouldn't be sorry. It's also more evidence that Diamond and Pearl was when the pokemon anime was at its peak.
I love this show and the entire Saturday morning Crush Zone on CN. I remember getting up around 7 to watch Chaotic and wait until Pokemon comes on around 8 with Clone Wars following it.
I had Jewel of life recorded on my DVR for a year just so that I could hear this theme in the opening over and over. Hilariously every time I see watermelons these 15 years later I still hear it in the back of my mind.
Why is this so good? Seriously, the diamond and pearl series is the last one (before Journeys) that I started watching, and still this is my favorite Pokemon opening theme! Its lyrics remind you that not all is bad in the worldand that you can get back up and dust yourself off again, because your friends are there for you, reaching out to pull you through (that was a corny reference to the lyrics, and I don't care). It's hard to believe that this is just the theme song to a 2000s kid show, but I'm so glad it was.
Listening to this song brings back so many amazing memories from when I was 4-5 and now realizing that I'm starting my senior year of high school now... it hurts... This show brought me so much joy as a kid and this theme song just added to it
I am a truly fan of both, I'll always preffer Pokémon, but it's weird to put them in battle, both are different to each other, and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Japanese Openings are excelent too.
That intro vocal, guitar, and bass tho. Perfection! ❤️🎶🥰. And can’t forget about the drum 🥁 ❤️❤️. One of my fav songs, and I can’t believe I still remember the lyrics on top of my head. Definitely one of the best songs that help me stay positive and keep my head up high. ✌️🎶🥰.
Man those early mornings, getting up at 8 and getting ready to go to school and this would be on tv. Now we're in Gen 8..... fucking hell were did my childhood go and when is it coming back?
And this song literally takes you to a different dimension when you hear it with full volume on your earphones. Sinnoh league was,is and will be the bestest season of Pokémon ❤️
Best. Pokemon. Theme. Ever. I can literally listen to this for hours on end and not get tired of it. Sure, other songs I can get tired of eventually, but this one? I am so in love with this theme (and the Sinnoh arc of the anime since it was the main one I watched after watching all of the Indigo League shite and Orange League shite online) that I can't ever get tired of it. I love this song and have it downloaded for offline convenience and just... I can't find any more words for it!
I'm still watching Sinnoh now. Matter of fact, I watched it an hour ago!!!! I vibe here, in Jhoto, Kalos and Unova. I would have to say that Dawn is my fave Pokegirl by far, with Iris second and Serena in third.
Man I miss old Pokemon 2002-2005 best Pokemon days miss those young days man I'm broke still can't forget most faithful days ... innocence , everything looks like Coloring everyday colourful new adventure miss my childhood ... Now days world and people looks like we're are living in apocalypse...
