はじめての場所
はじめての風のにおい ｍｍ．．．
はじめてじゃないのは
このドキドキ！
新品のこの地図
クシャクシャになるころ おれたち
ねぇ どこまで進んでるかな？
ここだけの話
不安ひとつふたつみっつ
でも 楽しみは数えきれない！
耳をすませば なつかしい声
未来からの声
いつも祈っててくれてる
「きみは だいじょうぶ！
なぜか だいじょうぶ！
みんな だいじょうぶ！」
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 歩き出そう！
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 走っちゃおうか？
ドキドキは すぐに
ウズウズに！
いてもたっても いられないぜ！

At a place for the first time
The smell of the wind for the first time, mm...
But what isn't for the first time
Is this throbbing of my heart!
When this brand-new map
Gets all crumpled
Hey, I wonder how far we should go?
Keep this between us;
I have one or two or three worries
But there are countless things I'm looking forward to!
If I listen closely, I hear a nostalgic voice
A voice from the future
It's always praying for me
"You'll be all right!
Somehow it'll be all right!
Everyone will be all right!"
Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!
Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?
The throbbing of my heart instantly changes
To an itching desire!
There's just no way I can calm down!

はじめての場所
はじめての風のにおい ｍｍ．．．
はじめてじゃないのは
このドキドキ！
新品のこの地図
クシャクシャになるころ おれたち
ねぇ どこまで進んでるかな？
ここだけの話
不安ひとつふたつみっつ
でも 楽しみは数えきれない！
おだやかな朝
おだやかな時の流れ ｍｍ．．．
おだやかじゃないのは
このスグアト！
予想外トラブル
行く手をふさがれた おれたち
もう どうすりゃいいのさ？
なさけない話
ヒザはふるえ汗はたらり
でも 戻るとか考えられない！
耳をすませば なつかしい声
未来からの声
いつも祈っててくれてる
「きみは だいじょうぶ！
なぜか だいじょうぶ！
みんな だいじょうぶ！」
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 歩き出そう！
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 走っちゃおうか？
ドキドキは すぐに
ウズウズに！
いてもたっても いられないぜ！
終わらない道
終わらない出会いの旅 ｍｍ．．．
終わってほしいのは
このドギマギ！
それでもなんとなく
気づいているのかな おれたち
そう 友だちのはじまり！
ありがちな話
最初どこか作り笑い・・・・・・
でも すぐホントの笑顔でいっぱい！
風よ運んで おれのこの声
おれのこの想い
はるかな町のあのひとに
「おれは だいじょうぶ！
めっちゃ だいじょうぶ！
１人じゃないから 仲間がいるから だいじょうぶ！」
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 歩き出そう！
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ 走っちゃおうか？
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ めざすものは
Ｙｅａｈ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅ‐ｈｅｙ ずっと輝く！
ドキドキは すぐに
トキメキに！
いてもたっても いられないぜ！

At a place for the first time
The smell of the wind for the first time, mm...
But what isn't for the first time
Is this throbbing of my heart!
When this brand-new map
Gets all crumpled
Hey, I wonder how far we should go?
Keep this between us;
I have one or two or three worries
But there are countless things I'm looking forward to!
A calm morning
The calm flow of time, mm...
But what isn't calm
Is what comes right after this!
When our path has been cut off
By some unexpected trouble
Well, now what should we do?
It's pretty pitiful to say
My knees are shaking, I'm dripping with sweat
But no way am I thinking of going back!
If I listen closely, I hear a nostalgic voice
A voice from the future
It's always praying for me
"You'll be all right!
Somehow it'll be all right!
Everyone will be all right!"
Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!
Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?
The throbbing of my heart instantly changes
To an itching desire!
There's just no way I can calm down!
An endless road
A journey of endless encounters, mm...
But what I want to have end
Is this flurrying anxiety!
Even so, I wonder
If we've somehow realized
That's right, it's the beginning of a friendship!
This is frequently said
At first was a forced smile somewhere......
But soon it will be full of genuine smiles!
Wind, carry my voice
Carry my feelings
To that person in a distant town
"I'll be all right!
I'll be totally all right!
I'm not alone, I have my friends, so I'll be all right!
Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!
Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?
Yeah-he-he-hey, what we're aiming for
Yeah-he-he-hey, is always shining!
The throbbing of my heart instantly changes
To a pounding excitement!
There's just no way I can calm down!

Trivia
- Best Wishes! was used consistently as the opening song across 84 episodes with no remixes, more than any other opening.
- If counting remixes as the same opening song, this record goes to One, Two, Three (136 episodes).
- This is the first opening theme since Spurt! not to have any remixes.
- This is the only opening to the anime to not feature any human characters.
- This is also the first opening not to feature Meowth.
- This is the only opening to be composed completely of CGI.
- The lyrics in this opening are black and have white borders. This is the first opening in which this happens, as lyrics for all other openings (excluding High Touch!) were white with black borders up until Mad-Paced Getter.
- Pokémon silhouettes are revealed in the episode following their debut in the series.
- Reshiram is the only Pokémon who has a white silhouette. However, it is given a black silhouette when it appears at the end.
- Among the first opening songs of all series, this is the only one not to use terms of the franchise, such as any location names or moves.
- This is the only Japanese opening theme to be named after its corresponding anime series.
Variants
In the first episode, all Pokémon (except Pikachu) were shown in silhouettes. Whenever a Pokémon made its debut, its silhouette was transformed into its revealed form in the episode following their debut in the series. Every episode after that showed that Pokémon without any transformation. By BW014, all the silhouetted Pokémon had been unveiled.
