Taiwan
With the exception of Best Wishes!, all other episodes were aired with subtitled original Japanese openings and endings.
Best Wishes!
Best Wishes! (Chinese: 超級願望！ Chāojí Yuànwàng!) is the only opening theme of the Mandarin (Taiwan) dub of the Best Wishes series. It is an original composition for the dub, and uses footage from the Japanese opening Best Wishes!. This is due to disputed copyright issues between The Pokémon Company and Top-Insight, the Taiwan distributor, regarding the usage of the original opening theme.
