[@kakademojang6054]

I love Pokemon XYZ's Opening

[@Drewtendo]

So epic

[@achu8012]

Real Hype

[@heinis4856]

KaKaDeMojang Yeah! Its the best!

[@gravityhero2227]

Better than the dubs op for XYZ.

[@geekkoga1458]

Best ever.

[@sosopokefan]

Rika is amazing, her voice acting and her songs are epic and awesome. I love her.

[@harizm1751]

ikr

[@SHazel-kg4yo]

Sara Al-Abbar Same.

[@Kangiru_Noah]

Sara Al-Abbar pokemon japanese op are the best

[@Mikiiiiiiiiiip]

It also sounds like Ash singing which is pretty cool

[@constantinoskafataris9675]

I agree 1000000%. She is amazing

[@entropyjk186]

I'm glad XYZ was number one (It's my favourite) but I really like Volt, and Mega V alot as well.

[@hidetoshitheindian255]

I want to give more likes on xyz song

[@mandelaominesensei1906]

XY Openings: 1.XYZ 2.Getta Ban Ban 3. Volt 4. Mega Volt

[@philipboes1100]

Xy and xyz was the best era for Japanese pokemon ops

[@owenmcpro]

totally agree with the no. 1! it's the best

[@infj1w932]

Owen McPro you mean overrated

[@Marvlouso]

@SuperCool Guy McGee He's right tho.

[@jasonjo1993]

Putting the XYZ Opening as #1 is a very very very smart choice.

[@infj1w932]

TheBoltMaster yes I agree because something like spurt battle frontier or high touch deserves that spot

[@kumarutkarsh4300]

@@infj1w932 admit it xyz was awesome

[@theoneandonly1292]

@@kumarutkarsh4300 I love Iku Z! But it makes it Overshadow the others :/

[@rob19ny]

You got #1 right. I damn near fainted seeing Challenger, especially both Volt's, and more so low.

[@infj1w932]

rob19ny I mean why did they make high touch challenger and heros of hoenn remastered so low also I think battle frontier and maybe spurt should be higher

[@EricSanzVideos]

My top 1. XY&Z 2. OK! 3. Spurt! 4. Battle Frontier 5. Getta Ban Ban

All the Pokemon Japanese versions of the XY and XY&Z openings are my favorite. I never stop listening to them.

[@babyginn9021]

I love pokemon xy openning

[@snickers1577]

I feel like no one appreciates Advance Adventure enough :( It's probably one of my favorites

[@kidsworldrose4847]

My favourite also with original and battel frontier

[@lmaorence]

I came here just to see XYZ Japanese Opening Is #1

[@justinjurado-gonzales7937]

Excellent choice for the 1 spot, and number 2 as well. But in my opinion, Getta ban ban would have made it a little better on the list.

[@alpha-sama]

True it's my no. 1 favorite because it's so catchy.

[@alt7697]

[@mandelaominesensei1906]

I hope "Together" is here! It's my favorite!

[@sacredmilk4147]

Admit it, Xy and XYZ were the best series

[@swordguy1744]

No one ever said otherwise

[@silvershark64]

That one Persona fan 2nd best. Diamond and Pearl hands down still the best series to date👌🏼

[@galactic_road9113]

No I think sinnoh was

[@silvershark64]

True that 👌🏼

[@EllentheGreat_1]

DP, it is by a million years

[@doughnutnerd9562]

I feel like some series Ash has all the starters it would be funny if Ash has a Fennekin

[@PoopMaster-ze8lp]

Messy Gang i can imagine that

[@fe1tan695]

Or chespin

[@jubbybrab]

My All Time Favorites are Getta Ban Ban, Ready, GO! and XY&Z

[@LasgalenOsten]

PERFECT. To me having xyz's as no 1 makes the whole video perfect. bravo.

[@AnimeShowTime]

OMG the nostalgia!! This is great!! :D

[@bluebirdsigma]

I used to swear by Spurt, Challenger, OK and Ready Go.... but, dammit, there's only ONE song that belongs in number 1 and that is XYZ. But you know what I really love about it? The credits. Most openings by Rika Matsumoto have her own name in the "Performed by" text. But XYZ says "Performed by *ASH* (voiced by Rika Matsumoto)". It makes you see the song not as a typical anime image song by the same seiyuu, but as "It's fucking Ash himself" The only other song that does this is High Touch, it says "Performed by ASH (voiced by Rika Matsumoto) and DAWN (voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi)", but that song is cute, not badass.

[@newwaveplus]

what about ready go?

[@bluebirdsigma]

I love that song!

[@perritoshido5845]

SigmaXVirus q

[@BladeBlur]

SigmaXVirus I'm alone on this but XYZ is my least favorite of the XY ops

[@rob19ny]

How the hell do you misspell Satoshi?

[@123leyang321]

Analyzing an opening goes beyond liking the songs best. If it were a matter of only the song, I can say there are songs I like more than the XYZ one. But the thing is, an opening isn't only about the music, it's about being visually appealing, having a catchy theme and being able to create hype for the content of the show, the music and the visuals also have to mix well. XYZ definitely delivered those aspects more than all of the openings so far: it was pure eye candy, the song is super catchy and has a great build up, the music and the visuals have chemistry, and it is pouring with hype (too much for the show's not so well delivered conclusion of the XY gen). The staff has come a long way with their openings, their techniques were incredibly improved.

[@puzzle_boy]

Absolutely agree. I like a lot of previous openings but XY&Z is my favorite, along with Saikou Everyday! For exactly the same reason.

[@martinbaraldilobe3334]

Yeah, if the best op was decided on song probably spurt! Or getter bang bang would be number 1 in my opinion, but the sheer hype and excitmet the op of xyz makes it's incredible

[@JustJack2005]

[@PrismAnimates]

All of XY and XYZ openings made it here! Proves it is the best series

[@lamsect]

Not the first one

[@ssmystic58]

All of them should sound as intense as the XYZ one

[@metro0612]

Back then, they weren't as "hyper" as compared to the ones in the XY series. The English dub actually did so for Season 1 to 13, but followed the original in terms of tone by Season 14 for the openings.

[@darkcake1]

[SS] Mystic true

[@darkcake1]

TheBoltMaster XY&Z is more intense Spurt is 2nd

[@jayantadas8614]

That's great that 'Iku Z' was kept in the first number.... The song's really great!!

[@faith_and_Jesus]

Like the pick for 1 Such an epic intro

[@doughnutnerd9562]

Number 1 is the best Pokemon theme song ever made I could not think of a better one I wonder how the sun and moon one will be considering the fan art is better than the actual anime

[@darkcake1]

Doughnut Nerd I don't know why Sun and Moon is less intense in openings and show and Pokemon gets better as it evolves

[@rune3dsxl23]

My favorite are Getta Ban Ban, Volt, Best Wishes (every intro), OK! And XYZ.

[@realkiller2160]

Now if it was endings, I would put DoriDori 1st without any thought. That song is Legendary plus Catchy asf xD

[@andyparker5688]

If there's any Pokemon ending that deserves to be called "legendary", it's only Type:Wild. As if it already wasn't so deep, emotional and catchier with awesome vocals, it had to be inserted in the epic conclusion of Ash vs Paul.

[@infj1w932]

Andy Parker yeah type wild is one of my faves too

[@PockyUni]

I like the first OP! I also like how the re-made it for SM

[@isgamer-8732]

I would’ve put Spurt 1st but it’s a great list XYZ is my second favorite theme

[@FenrirGrey]

OK! was pretty underrated. I'm happy to see it at #2 on this list.

[@_poke_rock]

Nothing can beat Iku-Z and Sun & Moon songs

[@vasai7446]

XYZ theme deserves to be #1 thanx

[@danielw7707]

I wanted to pick up watching Pokémon again when I was 13 and I was glad pokemon xy was at that time.

[@numbernien]

My favorites 5. V Volt 4. Spurt! 3. Mezaze Pokemon Master 2. OK! 1. XY&Z

[@Rhinorush18]

Justice for Ready, GO! It deserves top 3 at least.

[@PkmnTrainerDelco]

Almost my tastes, except I'd put Spurt!, Ready Go! and Saikou Everyday to the top along with XY&Z. I think all of 'em are equally amazing.

[@namisuzu7290]

I LOVE pokemon!

[@dj_borg]

My favorites will have to be Mezase Pokémon Master, OK!, and Ready Go!

Leon Belmont YOU SUCK XY&Z AND SPURT IS BETTER THAN ALL THREE OF THOSE

Jaiboss 12 WOAH WOAH WOAH I do like spurt but don’t go rapid on Borgie toxic xyz fan

[@pkcell]

I'm the one person who's favorite is High Touch! 2009 That song is the best thing ever I have a thing for DP The most visually appealing for me is Saikou Everyday

[@infj1w932]

FINALLY!!! All the other lists have Xyz at 2 or 3 (or even 9 😒) so I was SO happy when I saw it was #1

[@darkcake1]

StarQueen I swear to god whoever put XYZ at 9th will have to get headshotted. it's ok to put it at 2nd or 3rd even though it's the most intense

[@SpiritedFalcon]

Both of you guys are toxic, people have their own taste, I myself put it third XD

[@sheulyalam5647]

Glad to see XY and Z op at the first position. It is my favourite Japanese op. Wayy better than XYZ English op.

[@hellothere2464]

Spurt and XYZ are #2 for amazing vocals and music, but Mezase Pokemon Master (especially the amazing 20th anniversary version) is the type of song that gets you pumped up for a Pokemon Journey and battles :D V Volt is one of my favorites as I played it while playing Pokemon X and it gave more feel into the game

[@drakke125Channel]

some of the best is from Rika (voice for Satoshi/Ash) Nice line up! Seriously though nothing can top XYZ opening at this point.... It's sad that pokemon will go to something a lil weird and a Lot more kiddy in Sun/Moon season but hey...maybe it's just corny in the Z-dance and nothing else... After being serious in the last few seasons, I guess they decided to tone it down for the younger kids...=/
