* This opening was originally made up of scenes from ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''. This made it the only opening thus far to be made entirely of scenes from episodes, containing no clips from Japanese openings or endings.
[[File:OP12 English logo V1.png|thumb|200px|Logo of the season from the first version]]
* In ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', the opening was updated to feature scenes from ''[[High Touch!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} calling out their names at the end of the theme was also removed.
[[File:OP12 English logo V2.png|thumb|200px|Logo of the season from the second version]]
** Among English themes, only ''[[Unbeatable]]'' had a running change prior to this. However, this remains the only English theme to have two very distinct versions.
* The first version of the opening was the first one to be made entirely of episode clips, containing no clips from Japanese openings or endings whatsoever.
* Although the opening changed on August 22, 2009, it did not become high definition until the airing of ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' on October 3, 2009.  
** The episode clips shown come from the episodes ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.
* Unlike the longer version of ''[[Unbeatable]]'' used in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the version of this song used in the twelfth movie removed references to the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|season]]. This is similar to what was done in the version of ''{{OBP|Battle Frontier|dub}}'' used in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.
* The second version, which debuted in ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'' was widescreen and featured scenes from [[High Touch!]] and a clip from ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. The [[DP108|clip]] where {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} call out their names at the end was also removed.
** This is the first time that every scene in an English opening had been updated.
** Among English themes, only [[Unbeatable]] had a running change prior to this. However, this is the first English theme that has two very distinct versions.
** Although the opening changed on August 22, 2009, the {{wp|Cartoon Network}} airings didn't become high definition until the airing of ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' on October 3, 2009.
* This is the only post-4Kids English opening to be more than 30 seconds long in its TV version.
* Unlike the longer version of [[Unbeatable]] used in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the version of this song used in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' removed references to the [[S12|season]]. This is similar to what was done in the version of {{OBP|Battle Frontier|dub}} used in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.
* This was the first opening of the anime to be dubbed into {{pmin|Turkey|Turkish}}, as all other intros (with the exception of the soundtrack version of the [[Pokémon Theme]]) were previously left in English and would continue since then.

Artist Erin Bowman
Lyrics John Loeffler and David Wolfert
Composer John Loeffler and Manny Corallo
Arrangement Manny Corallo

Battle Cry - (Stand Up!) is the opening theme song for the English dub of the twelfth season, Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles. It was used from Get Your Rotom Running! to Gotta Get a Gible!. The opening animation was originally composed of various episode clips from the Galactic Battles season, but starting with the airing of The Lonely Snover! as part of the transition to widescreen, a new version was aired featuring scenes from the twelfth Japanese opening, High Touch!, and clips from the episode Pillars of Friendship!. An extended version of the song was used as the opening theme to Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

Lyrics

TV version

Sometimes it's hard to know,
Which way you're supposed to go.
But deep inside, you know you're strong.
If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up!
(Stand up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
Get ready to fight.
Hold on!
(Hold on!)
We're friends for life.
And if we come, together as one,
Complete the quest, that we've begun,
We will win the battle!
Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

Movie version

Sometimes it's hard to know,
Which way you're supposed to go.
But deep inside, you know you're strong.
If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Sometimes it's hard to see,
Just what's your destiny.
But when you find the path that's true,
You'll know that's the one for you.

Stand up!
(Stand up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
(Be brave!)
Get ready to fight!
Hold on!
(Hold on!)
We're friends for life.
And if we come, together as one,
Complete the quest, that we've begun,
We will win the battle!
Pokémon!

Woo-hoo!

The time is now, the game's begun!
Together we will fight as one!
Each of us, in our own way,
Can make this world a better place.

Stand up!
(Stand up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
(Be brave!)
Get ready to fight!
Hold on!
(Hold on!)
We're friends for life.
And if we come together as one,
Complete the quest, that we've begun,
We will win the battle!
Pokémon!

Just when it seems that you are lost and all alone,
You will find the courage and the strength to carry on.
And if you fall along the way,
Have the faith you'll be okay.
'Cause your friends are there for you,
Reachin' out to pull you through.

Stand up!
(Stand up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
(Be brave!)
Get ready to fight!
Hold on!
(Hold on!)
We're friends for life.
And if we come together as one,
Complete the quest, that we've begun,
We will win the battle!
