Pokemon XY English Opening

I loved it.
Black and White were supposed to be a big "reboot" of sorts to the franchise, but I don't think it ever really hit the mark.
With X and Y, however, both the games and anime so far have made quite the splash.
I'm glad they went back to the roots on this one and gave it a modern facelift. Hearing that theme, though remixed, stirred up massive nostalgia and actually encouraged me to watch the first two episodes, which I thought were excellently done.
I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has to offer!

I haven't atcually heard the opening, but I have heard Shadowlink's instrumental remix of it.
It sounds really nice, though the I still have to see about the vocalist (haven't heard him yet.)

Hm, without the vocalist, it's actually a pretty good thing to listen to.
I personally think this song wouldn't have much of a problem if the singer was a bit better.

"I..I..Iron Tail, Pikachu."
We'll likely get the full version in the movie.

I love how they brought back the old theme and the "who's that Pokemon" to the show. Hopefully any kids watching will be able to experience Pokemon like we, the 90's kids (I'm 19), did growing up. I agree with Vernikova's thought of how the theme would have been better should it had been longer, but at least they are going back to the beginning and how for once Ash isn't an idiot and is able to remember the Pokemon he has already met, without having to use his Pokedex, along with how he does not act as if This is his first journey and just a trainer starting out. How the writers keep him at ten years old still annoys me, but they have to try and keep their younger viewers interested so it is understandable as to why they do that.
Over all, I love this season of Pokemon already! ^-^

I was so excited when I heard the opening that I ended up showing it to both my closest internet friends who watched Pokemon "back in the day" but recently got back into it after hearing about X&Y. We all loved the song and were crying nostalgic tears. Though it stands small in the light of the older pokemon themes. If I had anything to complain about with TPC's openings is that they play it safe and when they don't, it ends in a disaster like the Diamond & Pearl rap. Use more sound effects, make certain instrumentals cut off; 4kids wasn't afraid of doing that kind of stuff and they got amazing openings from it. I'm just not used to a version of "Gotta Catch 'Em All" that's so peaceful when it's supossed to be an action-packed song with explosions in the background. I hope that's something they add in the full version.
Other than that bit of 'umph' missing, I really like the opening!

Yeah, ok!
I'm surprised by this, most nostalgic fans I've seen online seem to hate this song and view it as an insult to the original.
I also think they should have used this song for BW more than XY though. BW was obviously intended to be a throwback to Kanto with Iris/Cilan having similar roles to Misty/Brock. XY on the other hand seems like a blatant AG throwback, with the new quartet resembling their Hoenn counterparts. With Serena being indecisive like May, Bonnie essentially being Max as a girl, and Ash only having one starter again....perhaps they should have done a new version of the first Pokemon Advanced opening for XY instead.
If that's the case, XY being a throwback to AG, then we really need some better writers for the show...
Just listened to it and... it's just not that good to me. I liked the original song but this one doesn't compare to it. I didn't realise it at first but the sixth generation is solely catering to those who loved generation one. The more I look at it the more I realise it is true. Back to the opening theme, they could have easily made a better one that wasn't just a remix and was its own thing which is my main problem with X and Y.

I liked how they remixed the very first Pokemon song I remember. It's main problem for me (and other recent openings) was that it was too short. They need to make the intros longer again.

Don't worry. As everyone else said before, longer versions of the openings tend to appear in the movies. So, we can only hope that when the seventeenth movie airs in English, they would have incorporated a longer version of the opening as the intro song.
