Title 前向きロケット団!
Catalog no. ZMCP-1259
前向き maemuki may be taken literally as "facing forward", however, it can also be used metaphorically as "forward-looking".

There is a remixed version on the CD single, もっと前向きロケット団! Facing Forward More Team Rocket!.

Facing Forward Team Rocket! (Japanese: 前向きロケット団! Maemuki Roketto-dan! exact, Maemuki Rocket-dan!) is an ending theme song of the Japanese Pokémon anime series.

It debuted in EP192, where it replaces To My Best Friend, and was replaced by Pokettari Monsutari in EP239. It was also used for the first 15 episodes of Pokémon Sunday.

Synopsis

The scenes in this ending alternate between James, Jessie, and Meowth dancing on a Team Rocket themed stage with their Pokémon and a scene with the trio in a forest recovering from their latest defeat. They sing about how despite being defeated once again, they have chosen to focus on the future instead of dwelling on their past failures. Filled with new energy they prepare themselves for their next big scheme.

Pappaparaparaparaparapara
Pappaparapappaa! (Wobbuffet!)
Pappaparaparaparaparapara
P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!

We finally made it back to our hideout
A worn out Team Rocket

Meowth: Do you know why we lost today?
Jessie|James: Yes!
Jessie: Let the review meeting begin!

We quickly look back at today's fight

Meowth: Did everything go according to plan?
Jessie|James: Yes!
Jessie: Review meeting adjourned!

Five seconds is just enough time to be worried
After that, tomorrow we can focus on food! (Yahoo!)

We're full of energy, a rising forest
Peeling open hope. Face forward Team Rocket!

(Woooobbuffett!}

Pappaparaparaparaparapara
Pappaparapappaa!
Pappaparaparaparaparapara
P-Q-R-S Team Rocket!
Face forward Team Rocket!
(Woooobbuffet!)
