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 certain 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'
part of the phenomenon.
B a Pokémaster icon... Ha!

But first U gotta know about the different types:
Grass, Fire, Ground, Flame, Electric,
Water, Rock, Flying, Ice, Normal, Bug,

2 B a Master... Pokémon Master!
I will B strivin' to be the greatest Master!

Poké Ball Go...Go... (all the children sing)

Yo, like I said before, it's all about the evolution of Pokémon

Na na na na na na na na

Mmmm... Somewhat impressive
Now you've reached the Plateau
But not yet a hero
R U ready 2 meet and defeat... The Elite?
Can I expect survival against your Rival?
And remember... Gotta catch 'em all!
Show me what you've got!
Poké Ball Go...Go... Poké Ball Go!

2 B a Master... Pokémon Master

I will B strivin' to be the greatest Master.

Pokémon Master

The greatest Chapter

Sing it
Na na na na na na na na...
Greatest Master of Pokémon

Trivia

• A mistake in the song left out the Template:Type2 from the list of types. Instead, the nonexistent "Flame" 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.
• 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.
• This song was used as Ash's theme in the Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Puzzle League.
