Pocket Monsters AG (Korean: 포켓몬스터 AG Poketmonseuteo AG) is the first opening theme for the Korean dub of the Advanced Generation series. It debuted in AG001, replacing Pokémon Forever. The first version heavily uses footage from the Japanese opening, Advance Adventure. From AG093 onward, footage from Challenger!! is used instead. The full version of this song can be found on the CD Pocket Monsters AG (New & Best).

Opening Animation Version 1

Synopsis

Ash and Pikachu are standing in a battlefield as the series logo appears. Then, Latias and Latios fly to a battlefield and pass Ash and Pikachu. The screen then divided into three smaller images; one showing Latias and Latios flying, another showing Pikachu, and the last showing Cubone, Snubbull and Raichu.

Then, Ash throws two Poké Balls into the sky and calls out Treecko and Taillow to fight against Vigoroth and Pelipper. The screen again splits into three smaller images; one showing Treecko and Taillow running, another showing Squirtle, and the last showing a group of Pokémon. The scene enlarges to show Treecko and Taillow battling Vigoroth and Pelipper. Then, Ash calls Pikachu to use Thunderbolt against Mightyena.

The screen divides into three smaller images; one showing May, Beautifly, and Torchic; another showing Togepi; and the last showing Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok.

Then, it shows Groudon with Team Magma, and then, Kyogre and Team Aqua appear. The camera then jumps to Team Rocket with Cacnea, Seviper, Meowth, and Wobbuffet.

Ash, Brock, May, and Max are sitting on a raft in the ocean, with several Wingulls flying in the sky. Water fills the screen and under the water there are Carvanha, Sharpedo, Wailmer, and Relicanth. Ash and the gang are then in a forest with Silcoon, Wurmple, Shroomish, Nincada and Poochyena. Next they are inside a cave with Sableye and Duskull.

Max is holding a PokéNav with Ash and his friends behind him, looking at Lilycove City. Ash and his friends run away as the ground disappears and lava flows into the ocean. The camera cuts to Absol jumping into the sky and using Razor Wind. The animation ends with a still image of Ash and the gang standing together with Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic and Pikachu.

Opening Animation Version 2

Synopsis

The series logo shows up on the screen before the screen splits in half to show Ash and Pikachu running across a grassy plain. The scene grows smaller and eventually fades as other snippets of footage of Ash's Pokémon and friends appear on the screen.

The scene changes to show Ash and May in a tag battle using Pikachu and Combusken. Pikachu avoids Hariyama's Cross Chop and uses Thunderbolt on it.

Then, Professor Oak appears, with Tracey and Delia behind him. The camera cuts to show Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny starting to pose, before Brock jumps between them, surprising them. Max falls down onto Brock's shoulders and pulls on his ears.

Next, the scene shows Team Rocket flying up into the sky, obviously displeased. May then twirls with Beautifly flying around her.

Ash and Pikachu stand on a tall rock, looking at the night sky. The aurora is active.

The camera cuts to Swellow using Aerial Ace and then into Ash and Pikachu jumping into the sky.

The scene changes to Ash, May, Brock, Max, and all their Pokémon run down a dirt road toward the camera. Swellow flies towards the screen. Then, Ash, May, Brock, Max, and Pikachu sit on a hill overlooking a town. Pikachu stretches.

The camera pans across Ash and his friends, as Max waves his hand in the air. The series logo is shown, then a still shot of Ash, May, Brock, Max, and Pikachu appears.
