Pokérap GS

Pokérap GS was the second Pokérap, made for the 100 Generation II Pokémon. It is available on the Totally Pokémon CD, as well as the Pokémon X CD.

The song was used for the opening theme of Pokémon Chronicles everywhere outside of the USA, where a different theme was used from the second episode. However, this version of the opening was still present in all Toonami Jetstream airings of the series.

The full version of the Pokérap was aired once on Kids' WB! when Hot Matches first premiered. The full version can be found on the Spell of the Unown DVD as a bonus.
