Thread: Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova - Opening song

They probably got the Dawn version.

I guess it's a little more upbeat than the last two duets, but every year now since 'We Will Carry On' I've just thought... is this really the same guy that composed the original theme, Believe in Me, and Unbeatable? Say what you will about the Japanese counterparts to those songs being better - but those were songs that would get you pumped up to watch some Pokemon.

Also - as this is almost surely the last season of the BW dub, it looks like the Episode N opening will never have its clips used in the dub - which is a first.

this song is so 1980s it isnt even funny. Definatly not the best by any means but not the worst. I cant find my self to enjoy pokemon with a theme that sounds like it came from the same era that the FOX Body Mustang and the last gen of El Caminos came from. make it less 80s and you get a better score from me

Why do people say that Episode N will have this version of the opening? I think that it is pretty obvious that the animation is going to be changed after the League. I have no prediction about the music, though.

The dub doesn't change their openings as often as the Japanese version does, them changing the generic song after like 13 episodes seems unlikely to me.

Now the opening, I honestly hated it. The words were weak and were really no different than the other songs. I'm also getting tired of the duet they keep doing, it's starting to sound bland.

Really went all out with the lab animation on that one.

I like it better than I think DP I'm not sure I don't watch a whole lot but theres one I just hated

The song I really like. Video slightly worse, but still good.

I like the song. It's catchier than last season. Can't wait to hear the movie version.

Love that they kept the shot of Ash's reserves & Charizard. I'm a little biased, but I'm hanging on to a sliver of hope that they'll change some of it once they get to Episode N, because it IS too league-centric. Was there any other time the dub changed the intro footage in the middle of a season other than that one Lucario and Mew shot? (forgot what season it was)

DP: Galactic Battles (Season 12)

It was changed mid-season because of the change from 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9.

... if we get a movie version. Be An Arrow's already been used in a movie, and will probably still be the opening theme come movie time - and unless the song is Mezase Pokemon Master, opening songs don't get used in more than one movie. Methinks they'll probably forgo the opening theme for the next movie like with the Giratina movie, which would mean no movie version of the dub opening if that was the case.

All the washed out colours, fighting and destruction make it a little difficult to find OP clips that really suit the song, though.

Nice opening, much better than Rival Destinies. Clips are well chosen, good to see the Oak lab pan was kept.

I liked this Song so much!!! It has been the best one yet now in my opinion.

It was nothing special or amazing, but I liked it - and only after hearing it twice.

Kind of boring, didn't enjoy it much, wish it would have been closer to the 14th opening (Black & White) usually never like English openings, I always prefer the Japanese openings.

...It's a dark day indeed when someone says 4Kids' version was so bad the Diamond and Pearl opening was comparable to their openings...other than that, I found your comment hilarious.[/QUOTE]

Like I said, they were much closer to 4Kids' versions. Openings 13 and 15 are okay, but the long versions of the openings that TCPi did, to me, for some reason, seemed better fit for the movies than using them as openings. I'm also still mad at TCPi for replacing the 10th opening in the 10th movie.
