Lyrics

Go! Go! Whoo!

So you want to be a Pokémon Master?

I got 2 B the one, the only one who can
withstand the test 'n B the best.
I got 2 strive, keep up the drive,
B a Master.
It takes a different kind of skill
and I won't stop until
150 Pokémon are mine.
I must define the art of capture (of all Pokémon).

2 B a Master... Pokémon Master!
I will B writin' a brand new chapter!
Poké Ball Go...Go... (all the children sing)
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

It's all about the evolution of Pokémon

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Poké Ball Go...Go... Pokémon

Got my badges and my Poké Ball.
Got my buddy Pikachu 2 help me try
2 catch 'em all (Gotta catch 'em all!).

Yo, it's all about the evolution of the Pokémon
The training attaining N' bein'

And remember... Gotta catch 'em all!

Poké Ball Go...Go... Poké Ball Go!

Greatest Master of Pokémon

Trivia

• A mistake in the song left out the Poison-type from the list of types. Instead, the "Flame" type, the Japanese name of the Fire type, was included.
  • This mistake was not corrected in translations of the song. In the French version, the "Flame" type replaces the Flying-type, and in the German version, neither the Poison-type nor the "Flame" type are mentioned - presumably to simplify the synchronization of music and lyrics.
• Another mistake occurs in the Brazilian Portuguese version: the Grass type was replaced with "Hay" type and the Bug type with "Microbe" type.
• Although the lyrics sung are "R U ready 2 meet and defeat... The Elite?", the official lyrics have "Elite Four", instead of "Elite" by itself.
  • In the Danish and Norwegian versions, the song does not mention "The Elite" at all, instead mentioning fighting the leader of Team Rocket.
• Sheet music for this song is included in the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book, Pokémon Five-Finger Piano and Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!.
• This song's name is inconsistent. It is also known as 2B a Master, 2BA Master, among other names.
