The scene from EP001.

Pokémon like many Anime features a very distinct background of music. At the start of most episodes in the original series especially, the background orchestra can be heard which also features a heavy presence in the video games. The purpose for the music, like many other animated programming is to aid the mood of the show to show the feelings expressed .

The music is played in many different times usually depending on the emotion of the show. Times of hardship , influencing a more sad soft tone .It can then progress getting loud when the show is in a serious tense moment, One example from the anime is when Ash flees from a flock of attacking Spearow during the first ever episodePokémon - I Choose You.The music is entitled 'Tears after the cloudy weather' which sets scene for the more serious and emotional side of the anime which was a major milestone of the Pokémon anime.

Every time their is a Pokémon battle ,the battling music from the game is used in the show.
