While this opening may not be one of best renditions of the world, I still like the nostalgia factor to it & I try to think of it more as a homage to the original series rather than a rehash
However, my only qualm to this is that they made it too short, but alas. I guess we'll have to wait until the dub airing of The Cocoon of Destruction to hear the full rendition
I hope maybe it finishes the original kanto theme, then instead of repeating the kanto one in the second verse, they go into the johto leaugue champions song and finish with that. I think they could pull that off.
but im only saying this because i love the johto theme
