Pokemon: The First Movie #1 - "Pokemon Theme (Movie Version)" by Billy Crawford 

+Joss Ryan What about Ho-Oh in the first episode? They were already setting us up for a new adventure.

+TheDusty321yes but none of us knew what pokemon it was, or where it came from. Id forgotten about that by the time the first movie came out.

+Joss Ryan True that you might have. What about Togepi, the worst offender of them all regarding the first season?

+TheDusty321 Donphan actually looked cool. That's what made it feel different

What about Elekid, Hoot-Hoot, Ledyba, Ledian and I think also Sentret they were all in Pikachu's Vacation the short film before the real Movie started?

I don’t even think it was bubble beam, but just a bubble attack which is even worse 😅😂

@@militaryhistorian302 lol

According to the book, it was Bubblebeam. Bulbasaur used Solarbeam (obviously), Squirtle used Bubblebeam and Pikachu used Thunderbolt

Me !

its so nostalgic it hurts

Wait Ash is World Champion??? I’m 33, I stopped keeping up with all things Pokemon a long time ago but my inner child is jumping for joy hearing this. Way to go, Ash! Dreams do come true🥹

Me

@@sneakykamon He finally is the very best, like no one ever was.

It’s etched in my brain!

you cant beat the original that they used for the TV show.

+Adam ferguson this one has more feel to it imo

+Goliath I agree. I prefer this version, when I heard this song in theaters as a kid, nothing could contain my hype, to this day I still get goosebumps and feel like dancing when I hear this song.

yeah..back when you thought it was just starting, that ash would actually become a Pokemon master, I like to go back to those times

+Pogiforce The theme for the show episodes of the Indigo League was so much better than this, though.

background percussion is really intricate too

Minus that golem you know the one lol

This is why Bulbasaur and Squirtle are legends

was the time we saw new pokemon too like yooooo wtaffffff

@@fl3nkfreeradicallampshade594 Yeah that was soo hype.

lmao so true

I love Pokemon so much

Sister does not like Pokemon

Aggressions this can be said the same thing about religious people, and different race

your words cut deeper than any blade whoops srong anime but it fits tho

There’s nothing more powerful then mewtwo

Except another Mewtwo.

Same here

@@jragon9215 there's nothing powerful than Ash and Pikachu's companionship

Beautiful bro ❤👍

The circle is completed

Our boy has come a long way from that dunce who overslept on his tenth birthday.

Nah, he still sucks.

OI. THIS KID RIGHT HERE. Bro, you're on my level.

+Alex Kirk thought I'd get more responses haha Makes me feel old 😢

I actually keep that mew card in my Wallet as a good luck charm! ;D

+Shotty oh nice. I still have one in the plastic at my moms. She kept all my cards except my charizard which got lost in the move :( got it in my first booster pack ever.

I bet your mum stole your charizard. I would if you were my child.

me to i will love pokemon till the day i die lol

39 here. Still loving it!

34 here! Just found out who covered this tune! Been searching for it for ages!

My all time favorite movie

31 and this brings back hella memories

iTunes is still a thing?

the Pokemon 2000 and Pokemon 1/2 are on iTunes and firestick if you wanted to know I still get mix feelings watching it

Brian?! You like pokemon too? I guess you aren't so unlucky because you grew up with that!

Bless you wonderful speaking bastard!

George Brian way better than growing up with horrible series like call of duty , fortnite etc. I’m glad that I grew up with these old series. You get more positive things from these old franchises than newer ones

Same the reason why i love pokemon is because i had a friend who watches it but sadly he's not really my friend anymore..... I also don't know if he's still a pokemon fan tho

Has the Masterball, can't catch a single Pokemon

Yeah, I grew up with the anime but this version always hit the absolute best

I always loved the intro to the theme song better.

The 90's kick ass!

I deadass listen to this in the car!

It has that grand feeling to it

Its true pero sayang career nya sana hindi sya umuwi pinas

16 years old palang si billy crawford kumanta pokemon isipin galing kumanta kung consistent music hindi sya nag focus subra galing nya rnb singer kasi maintain vocal nya

I have his first cd

@@erinfitzgerald9921 nice

15 years old palang nag start si billy crawford sa music nag perform sya London at europe

Jason Paige also sang this right? I'm confused 😕.

@@markjosephbacho5652 Jason Paige is the original singer for the series. Billy's version is for the movie.

Yea

He already beat Donphan(a newly-discovered Pokemon).

*Mewtwo watching them with hatred*

+Goliath Weeellll... ;p

DaemonEX0 it is! :o

Not really. It's pretty mediocre. If they ever do a live action version, an orchestra and a powerful singer is a must.

+SupplySide Jesus Nah. It's good.

agreed

I'm a grown as man and I'm crying 😭

Lol me too! This version is much better tho

John Ray Tiangco this version is better than the original

Billy Carwford is a Filipino

Ngayon ko nga lang Nalaman eh ,napanuod ko kasi siya nagsalita siya ng French dun sa Show nila ngayon ni Boy Abunda . Binasa ko , siya pala Kumanta Nito . Potek , International artist pala ito , mas sisikat pa sana siya kaso mas Pinili niya ang Pilipinas .

Only the movie version tho, the first one

My boy ash finally got his dream

​@@robinmangalindan3051😂😂🎯💯

@@krystaljinehparane8694 But at the same time, when one legend fulfilled his dream, another was lost. On that day before I read the news that Ash Ketchum finally got crowned the ultimate Pokémon Master… Kevin Conroy… the defining voice of Batman for 30 wonderful years had died. Bittersweet day indeed.

I was thinking that! But there's no way in heck!

it's happening :)

@@usermcskull4713no it isn’t. It’s a shitty cover from TPCI.

Just you wait til you see what they did :)

100 times better! All the other songs and background music is either different or just missing completly (brother my brother)! And i know, they kept it japanese original, but comon, thats not nostalgic for us, 99% of us watched the Warner Bros version of the movie back then!

SplashStarProduction yes!

That AND Dan Green reprised his role of Mewtwo in the Remake version.

@Vicky Girl Dan Green is the best Mewtwo!

The remake was pretty good in my opinion

Duswiqwudwuew7s8quwequ8eww7wwwwwuwu2😃😃

I still get goosebumps when I hear this!!!!

Seriously, I grew up waking up at 5am just to watch Pokémon before catching the bus to school. Begging for the old booster packs so I could show off to the other kids on the bus, playing through Pokémon silver countless times. Hell getting stuck, and begging to go to the game section at Walmart to read the guides while your parents shopped so you could figure out what to do next. Just listening to this and the other older soundtracks brought back so many memories, I can still sing the old songs word for word despite not hearing them for over 10 years. It was like a nostalgia overload. Most of the comments on the other videos are locked, and that blows. I’m sure there are tons of people that want to comment, that feel like kids again listening to these older soundtracks.

Fucking pricks,we need to band together and demand they abolish that COPPA garbage.!

this is honestly just sad, why is there even a need to delete all comments?

RU-vid should consider this song is older than any kid. Not all Kids content are for THIS generation of kids. I'd swear most of the people that listen to this is at least 20 yo.

@@puzzle_boy Yeah

Sad fat ass

+King Ghidorah takes one to know one. dick.

LOL

+Robert Clah The Indigo League theme which this is based off of was far superior to this though.

Nostalgia feeling

This is late but, happy pokemon day to you too😊

You've had a Charmander for 25 years 🤨

@@a-buttonace about as long as Ash has had Pikachu

I had to turn it off after like 30 minutes, because i was questioning myself why im even watching this, when i can watch the darker and imo better original instead! All the background music that made the original so great is missing! Just this one here made in in somehow! :/

I loved the remake. While it won't compare to the original, the fact that some of thenold actors came back to reprise thier roles AND used some of the original lines. It was a darn good remake.

Everyone has their own opinion. I happen to think that the remake was a royal piece of shit.

@@AndrewsWideWorldofGaming to me it was way worse, environment looked cooler, everything else was bad, also music was soo bad compared to original.

@@omargonzalez2250 so your one of those types everything but the original of anything is just shit

37 😁 one of my motivational song for being a competitive person

Ryan Blanche it did,and when ash turned to stone,all the moms started crying their eyes out!

I was only 2 years old when this movie came out so I wasn't able to see it in theaters. The things I would do to be able to go back in time to watch the first 3 Pokémon movies in theaters as a kid. That would've made my entire childhood right there.

I wasn't even in the theatres when I first saw it as a kid (I was born in 1996... just a little too young), but honestly the excitement when you see a movie like that when you're that young, it's that emotionally powerful that I felt like I had the same atmosphere even just watching it at home. Kid shows (and other things like video games) back then just filled you with this incredible hype that kids today wouldn't understand at all, lol I actually feel kinda sad for kids of today's generation. There aren't really any strong franchises for kids these days, at least like, when it comes to TV shows and cartoons (and honestly even video games). Kids will end up liking whatever they like but there really isn't anything as powerful as the fads of the 90s... pokemon, power rangers. I was more of an early 2000s kid so i had that stuff (I had older brothers) but then I also grew up with all the cool shit on gamecube... the Sonic Adventure games, etc. Nowadays what do kids have? Garbage nickelodeon sitcoms, fortnite, copy-paste sequels to games with no soul or creativity, cartoons that are animated worse than early flash animations. They will never understand the creativity and the power of the things we experienced in the 90s and the early 2000s. I feel like kids today deserve their own equivalent for the stuff that we had, but they will never get it. Thank god I'm as old as I am lol. Everyone's like "omg i hate being old" but like, think about what you had that kids today have to miss out on

@@zrexx9428 I get what you’re saying and you do bring up some good points. But there have been great original films in recent years, especially from Disney and Dreamworks

Sayang international career iniwan nya para mag stay pinas

@@MarkLeysa_officialaccount nalaos ksi sya sa Europe. Nag flop mga album. Nag flop din movie debut nya sa Hollywood. Khit kumita sa Home Media release. While other project na cancel due to 2007 Writer strike so he opt to return sa Pinas. Not he's fault. Was just wrong Timing pag switch Hollywood career.

16 years old palang si billy crawford Dyan pokemon movie

When ash got turned intwo stone I got mix feelings I was excited and laugheing and crying when I was at the movies we got there early and watch the ads befor the movie starts I wish I can relive those days I do remember going to the movies with my brother and I remember it like yesterday but lost my Pokémon cd that I got on Christmas Day and I lost my gameboy wish kids WB AND fox kids where still on tv

Weird since Togepi was already introduced.

@@Unversed333 all of those gen 2 teases were more exciting back then. the idea of there being more than the known 151 was new, mysterious, and surprising.

@@nobodyimportant4285 even the first episode had the appearance of a bird Pokemon that even Professor Oak didn't recognize.

That's why mewtwo invited ash to the island of top tier trainers.

Also have you seen my dawg Pikachu winning a 3v1 with the strongest thunder ⚡ you've ever seen?

Not Bubble Beam, just Bubble

What if, Bulbasaur beats Donphan.

Your profile picture fits this comment alot

Yea me too bro.. It's crazy

Yup. He's still 10 though.

Joshua Kelly he should be around 28 right now.

The Ultimate Thor Guess the producers didn't want to change his age after time skip.

song definitely brings back good memories

respectfully disagree. Transformers from 1986 had more energy, and didn't need auto tune as a crutch to hold it together.

umm there was no autotune in 1986 LOL

There was in 1999.

Where is the autotune exactly? Please dont tell me youre mistaking a backing track that he sings over for autotune.

Seriously!!!

I miss watching the movie for the first time😢😄

@@tokyodriftmon2014 I Would have to agree with you.

Still loved the version before tho.

Remember "Doug's First Movie"? LOL

To be fair, by the time we got this movie the second one had already been out in Japan for a few months. Still funny that they assumed that it would stay popular for long enough to bring the second one over, though.

I just realized that the pirate wannabe was a prototype for Team Aqua for Gen 3. His appearance was reused in RSE versions but recolored.

Danny Pike being born in 92 gives you the right to be called among the 90's kids. I'm proud to be a 92 baby 😁

I was born in 1998 and Pokemon was a big part of my life

Girl try 1989. This IS my childhood.
