==Trivia==
* Although [[Born to Be a Winner]] officially became the opening theme starting in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', the first {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} presentations, as well as the former {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream}} version, [[Cartoon Network]] and {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Boomerang}} broadcasts, continued to use [[Pokémon Johto]] as the opening and closing credits up until ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. This was amended for the American DVD release and the Disney XD/Amazon Video streaming version.
** This error is present in the [[List of English language Johto League Champions home video releases (Region 4)|Magna Pacific DVD]], the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} and [[Pokémon TV]] streaming versions of ''Type Casting''. The version of said episode that aired during the Twitch marathon has the correct opening, but the incorrect ending.
**Additionally, a small portion of the song continued in usage as the eyecatches for the final dub commercial break up until ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', the final episode of the following season.
* Until the premiere of [[Stand Tall]], over 15 years later, this was the only dub opening theme in which the last word was not "Pokémon".
* This was the first completely digitally animated theme. However, the first digitally animated episode did not come until ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', 13 episodes before the end of the Johto arc. A portion of {{so|Pokémon World}} was also digitally animated.
* This song is erroneously titled "Pomemon Johto" in the [[iTunes]] release of [[Pokémon X (CD)|Pokémon X: 10 Years of Pokémon]].
* A cut, shortened version of the movie variant of the theme is used as the third season opening in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish dub}} of the TV series as well, with even the sound effects from the movie still being audible in the background.
* Despite leaving the TV version undubbed in English, {{pmin|Bulgaria}}, {{pmin|Iceland}}, and {{pmin|Slovakia}} did dub the song's {{pkmn|movie}} version as well as the movie version of Pokémon World.
* At the time, this was the only intro in {{pmin|Greece}} to be dubbed into its language, as [[Pokémon Theme]] and Pokémon World were left in English. It wouldn't be until [[S12|the twelfth season]] when intros were dubbed from then on, with the exception of [[S19|the nineteenth season]], which was skipped altogether.

Pokémon Johto is the opening theme song for the English dub of the third season, Pokémon: The Johto Journeys. It was used from Don't Touch That 'dile to The Fortune Hunters. The opening animation is composed of clips from the third Japanese opening OK!, as well as episode clips from the third season.

The version used in the third series opening was performed by Johto and is featured on the album Totally Pokémon. An alternate version was used in the opening theme to Spell of the Unown: Entei and is featured on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack. This version is different from the TV and Totally Pokémon version in that it has slightly different lyrics and a different artist. It was one of the four ringtones available on the Pokémon Mobile service.

Lyrics

Suicune appears at the end of the opening.

Each step you climb is one more step up the ladder

It's a whole new place with a brand new attitude
But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be
