Pokemon theme music - surprisingly inspirational

It's been over 10 years since I first heard the Pokemon theme music.

Yet, I have only recently realised that the lyrics are surprisingly inspirational and very motivational. Perhaps this is why it became so popular in the first place - it really gives people, including children, courage, confidence and the meaning of friendship.

Even as 'adults', if you take all the Pokemon references metaphorically, or allegorically, where "Pokemon" symbolises something, or someone important, valuable in your life - then bam, here's an amazing, inspirational song for you - brutally frank and sincere unlike many songs out there.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all--
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon!
Ooooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all--
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all!
Gotta catch 'em all!
Yeeaa.

Every challenge along the way
With courage I can face
I will battle everyday
To claim my rightful place
Come with me the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all--
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon!
Ooooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all--

Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon!Gotta catch 'em all!

Gotta catch 'em all!
Gotta catch 'em all!
Gotta catch 'em all!
Gotta catch 'em all!
Yeeeaa!
