==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This international dub opening has the record for having the most distinct versions, with a total of three.
* For unknown reasons, in many airings several episodes of the [[Decolore Islands]] arc used the second opening instead of the third: ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'' through ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'', as well as ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'' and ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''. This error occurred in the Cartoon Network airing in the United States, Australian airings on {{DL|Pokémon in Australia|Toasted TV}}, the [[List of English language Adventures in Unova and Beyond home video releases (Region 1)|US DVD release]], and [[List of English language Adventures in Unova and Beyond home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVD releases]]. The error was corrected on the US [[Netflix]] release.
* Additionally, {{DL|Pokémon in Australia|Toasted TV}} in Australia and the [[List of English language Adventures in Unova and Beyond home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVD releases]] used the second version of the opening instead of the first version for the episodes [[BW098]] to [[BW109]].
* For unknown reasons, [[Pokémon in Latin America|Cartoon Network Latin America]] uses the first version for the opening up until [[BW130]] onwards, when the opening switches to the third version.

TV version

It's the next chapter, the ultimate goal
Ready for battle, brave and bold
I know we're gonna make it
We will find a way

Oh-oh
We've come so far
We fought so hard to get where we are
Oh-oh
We belong together
It's always you and me
Pokémon!

Movie version

It's the next chapter, the ultimate goal
Ready for battle, brave and bold
I know we're gonna make it
We will save the day

One story ends and another begins
We can never do it without our friends
When we stand united
We will find a way

Oh-oh
We've come so far
We fought so hard to get where we are
Oh-oh
We've found our destiny
Oh-oh
We belong together
We are best friends forever
It's always you and me

You give me the courage, that sets me free
I count on you, you're always there for me
No matter where this road takes us,
By your side is where I wanna be

Oh-oh
We've come so far
We fought so hard to get where we are
Oh-oh
We've found our destiny
Oh-oh
We belong together
We are best friends forever
