Lyrics
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
Lyrics
Pokemon its you and me
I know, it's my destiny
Pokemon oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon gotta catch 'em all
Lyrics
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

I had to search for the song. I didn't remember anything after the second column. Turns out this is the theme to Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back. If you don't believe me, compare the song from the original episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJ7ocgIp-Q

to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-seYSfEAdQ

Plz plz plz make a team rocket motto quiz. They (and by that I mean James and Meowth) are the best things to happen to Pokemon. I actually have a mega crush on James, hence why I hate Jessie,as she is my only competition.

That's not grammatically correct and doesn't really make sense. "Teach" actually works in a sentence.

Had to watch Pokémon when I was minding my niece way back then it was the most awful kids show ever . Some of the kids shows then were so fun to watch even as an adult ( Spongebob ) and some were tolerable but Pokémon was ridiculous rubbish.For some reason without having any kids to mind just flicking through the channels on an day off a few years back I found myself becoming a huge fan of the regular show.
