The version used in the third series opening was performed by Johto and is featured on the album Totally Pokémon. An alternate version was used in the opening theme to Spell of the Unown: Entei and is featured on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack. This version is different from the TV and Totally Pokémon version in that it has slightly different lyrics and a different artist. It was one of the four ringtones available on the Pokémon Mobile service.
It's a whole new world we live in (live in) Pokémon Johto!
Everybody wants to be a Master Everybody wants to show their skills Everybody wants to get there faster Make their way to the top of the hill
Each time you try, gonna get just a little bit better Each step you climb is one more step up the ladder
It's a whole new world we live in It's a whole new way to see It's a whole new place with a brand new attitude But you still gotta catch 'em all and be the best that you can be
Pokémon Johto!

This error is present in the Magna Pacific DVD, the Finnish and Pokémon TV streaming versions of Type Casting. The version of said episode that aired during the Twitch marathon has the correct opening, but the incorrect ending.
Additionally, a small portion of the song continued in usage as the eyecatches for the final dub commercial break up until Machoke, Machoke Man!, the final episode of the following season.
Until the premiere of Stand Tall, over 15 years later, this was the only dub opening theme in which the last word was not "Pokémon".
This was the first completely digitally animated theme. However, the first digitally animated episode did not come until Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid, 13 episodes before the end of the Johto arc. A portion of Pokémon World was also digitally animated.
A cut, shortened version of the movie variant of the theme is used as the third season opening in the Finnish dub of the TV series as well, with even the sound effects from the movie still being audible in the background.
Despite leaving the TV version undubbed in English, Bulgaria, Iceland, and Slovakia did dub the song's movie version as well as the movie version of Pokémon World.
At the time, this was the only intro in Greece to be dubbed into its language, as Pokémon Theme and Pokémon World were left in English. It wouldn't be until the twelfth season when intros were dubbed from then on, with the exception of the nineteenth season, which was skipped altogether.
