I choose you... and by you, i mean the Japanese version

Aaron and I were just reminiscing about Pokemon, specifically, the theme song.

For those of you haven't heard of the Japanese version, just hit play in the window below.



(Killer guitar solo at 2:30)

Definitely way better than the English one. I just hope that after translated, it doesn't sound as cheesy.

"You're my best friend in a world we must defend... A heart that's true; our courage will pull us through, You teach me and I'll teach you..."

What the heck's that supposed to mean anyway? I thought Ash Ketchum's mission is to catch Pokemon, give opponents cocky thrash-talk and kick Team Rocket's butt whenever they interfere...

Speaking of Team Rocket, I wonder how their mantra sounds in Japanese...
