Getting the opportunity to reimagine the Pokémon theme and sing it alongside Jason Paige was super cool. We recorded this all independently in our own studios and shot it with the help of my independent production company, Villainous Media in San Diego CA. Power to the artists & fans who make it possible for people to create stuff like this.

Still the very best. Like no version ever was!
As the australians say, you're a damn legend
But you carried the mantle to get it where it is now sir for that .... thank you
I will listen everyday, to claim my rightful place! (for real, good job, really love it!)
Cheers!
~Mokoi
Jason you dont even understand how much of an amazing job you did here with Johnathan, like you are a literal Legend(ary) Person along with Johnathan, and you made a lot of people childhoods amazing by singing this song, so much love to you man and keep doing what you do!
You my good sir,have made many grown men cry,and we are eternally grateful for it.
Rare footage of adult Ash Ketchum and professor Oak singing their theme on a random cliff circa 2018 colourised
Lol fuck you 😆🤣🤣🤣
This cliff is in Northern San Diego! That's the Gliderport at Torrey Pines! It's one of my favorite places in Southern California!
Aku it is now sacred ground
No, ash would look WAAAAAAAAAAAY younger.
Even if he and Jonathan are probably around the same age
OP I love you
Jason still sounds the same after nearly THIRTY YEARS? MAD RESPECT
Thirty the anime is 25 and 24 for English viewers
Lets be fair though... Ash is still 10 years old after all this time too. I think when you enter the world of pokemon, you enter a time warp of some kind :D
Yep, kinda makes remaining 10 years old after nearly 30 years seem like a possibility huh?
He does not sound the same. He sounds older like he should and honestly i think it’s better for a Metal Cover
@@Bearded18Dragon it makes sense
Jasons entrance was probably one of the most epic in musics history. Pure fan living the nostalgia.
Jason Paige is the oldest teenager that I've seen in my life.
(Edit 2022: He still is)
(edit 2023: HE STILL IS)
(Edit 2024: HE. STILL. IS.)
the voice of that man... damn
Can't be compared to Ash Ketchum.
Love it
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hmu for my info 😅
There's nothing manlier than 2 bros standing on a cliff singing the Pokémon theme
Fenix im ganna get all my bros together and do this
I wish me and my buds could be this manly.
unless they were on the flight deck of a Nimitz class supercarrier on a sea of fire
Other than Jason in a Pikachu onesie
You forgot the bit about the tie that Jason is wearing xD
Hits harder now that they have confirmed Ash is retiring.
After 25 years, Ash became the master. Now his journey is officially ended.
Edit: is it just me or does it sound like they use this guitar intro in the announcement video?
They did.
@@CthomasMega Thought so. Absolutely legendary.
They did
in the comics ?
But when one door closes, another one opens. Can't wait to see Liko and Roy start their adventures this April!
This song hits even harder now! Finally, after a long 25-year wait, with his hat turned backwards, Ash has become World Champion, and he beat 3 Champions, three absolute legends to do it. He really became "the very best, like no one ever was".🏆
And yet he’s somehow still 10 years old
@@BrickShorts8118 and his joirney ends
@@diooverheaven6561 Yes, finally. A fitting end for him, I'd say.
@@KenDaKingArrives his final episode is on March 24th 2023

@@BrickShorts8118 must be the asian genes, they just don't age like us westerners 😁 35 going 10!
STILL CAN'T STOP SMILING WHEN I WATCH THIS! JY is A LEGEND
Awesome cover with Jonathan young.
It's nostalgic in my currently favourite genre!
Honestly, it's cool seeing that you're still making music. Awesome song!
Dude you made my childhood with this song, you're amazing! X
honestly when i saw you were in the video as well i almost fainted! you and JY were awesome together! not to mention this is super nostaligic!
Jason Paige sings like his life depends on it in this cover. Like a boss.
MAN - YES!
He sings like that for every cover he does. I don't know how he does it. His voice is goddamn supreme.
If I were him and some random theme song I sang one time for this weird ass japanime show for kids caught on like wildfire and made bank beyond my wildest dreams, I'd be at 💯 on this theme song too.
666th like
For sure,his voice is op🙌🏾🙌🏾
I can't believe Ash and Pikachu's journey is coming to an end...so many memories
A HEART SO TRUEEEEE
And still hasn't aged in 25 years, i want that ability.
They taught me and I’ll teach you
I love that in every cover of this song I’ve seen that features him, they go ahead and let Jason shine on the “A heart so true” as if they know they would never be able to do that line justice the way he can.
You know you’re good when you get the original singer who sang an iconic song into your cover
Well it's Jonathan after all.
and get him into a pikachu onesie.
Also goes to show how chill Jason Paige is!
Aymanac 7 and get him to wear a pikachu costume.

>Woah, sick. You should wear it.
>Sure, can I wear my Pikachu hoodie?
Hahahahahahahahaha this comment killed me!! 😂😂😂
I was busy minding my own business listening to this... Feeling nostalgic and reading comments while wondering about that tie then came across your comment and lost my shit... I'm still laughing my ass off ty for this 😁😂
Saw this today, after Ash finally became the Very Best, like no one ever was. Cried the shit outa me somehow. Decades after first embarking on the journey with him. Wow.
OMG same, pal! I sobbed so much... Glad to see all the people who dropped by just after watching the latest Pokemon episode.
Jason Paige always seems so hyped singing this. I love the hype this man brought to our childhoods. Thank you sir, and thank you Johnathan Young for giving this song a second life.
And this, is how you make a 30 year old man cry.
18 here but same
I'm not crying youre crying!!! :')
And a 38 year old man smile. 😀
32. and yes, yes it is.
20 year old crying happy tears
The fact that the original Pokemon theme song singer is a metalhead fills me with joy
Watch him sing the original in studio. He actually air rifts back then too
From 2016 ruclips.net/video/xx2cxo8WQoM/видео.html
Soo much joy
This hits so fucking hard. Through he entire video Jonathan looks like he's singing through a smile he cant control. Fucking magic.
It feels sacrilegious to ask for this song without lyrics, but I wish I had the instrumental version of this in addition.
Heresy! Blasphemy!
I mean if its for karaoke and you need to show how the newer younger trainers how hard the older generations can go... it should be okay?
At long last, the voice of a generation has returned ✌❤🤘
Caleb Hyles And it's amazing!!!
Well now to counter you gotta cover dragon ball z with hironobu kageyama
and it came with the best tie ever
Definitely dragonball
We love it with a fiery passion!
I feel like Jason paige could go on tour and just perform this song, and sell out arenas... be the most epic 5 minute show ever.
Funny you should say that.....cause he already has. He is more legendary than a Mewtwo!
Bro I swear I’d be buying Tickets out the ass cus straight up I feel the same way
The most epic.. or the Very Best..?

Oh my gosh, you are so right. And I love Mewtwo.

Atleast its not moist.

RichaadEB Scott Adams would be proud.
My tie became stiff too watching this.
I can’t even comprehend how good this was. Mind blown.
I think it’s the best version ever. Of any of them.

Farwell Ash and Pikachu.
I dont know whats better. This video or that floating tie
Crysis Music how about both
Crysis Music both definitely *BOTH* 🙄
Crysis Music tie
I'd say it's a *tie*.....
I'll see myself out now.
Both. definitely both.
Jonathan Young, in a star wars shirt, rocking out the pokemon theme, with Jason Paige in a pikachu onesie..... I think we've just seen the internet being won right there
james clover you forgot about Jason's tie
that Dilbert tie was to good lol
james clover i hope your comment gets pinned by Jonathan. I really do.
They are the reason the internet was invented.
Charmander is red, Squirtle is blue.
Just like a Pikachu, this cover electrifies you.
⚛️❤️
In the voice of Comic Book Guy best comment ever.
Underappreciated comment right here
Charmander is orange, dear sir.
No respect for Bulbasaur :(
Imagine if Jason Paige became the voice actor for when Ash finally grows up and becomes like a mentor to new trainers and is a badass wholesome teacher that comes to save the day when everything else seems to fall apart
This should be the cover for detective pokemon movie ..
Ryan Reynolds are you watching
They could use this as the opening theme for the upcoming "MewTwo Strikes Back" movie
OMG yes
@@nickniehaus1763 That would mother effing ROCK
Ryan Reynolds is ALWAYS watching
Its got the synth like "I need a hero" and everything so it would fit in with the rest of the sound track too.
am I the only one who finds it kinda heart warming how happy they both seem
Still can't believe this was 5 years ago, by far still one of the greatest versions of this song!❤🤍
Amen!
This was just so good that his tie couldn't help but rise like that.
it's a Dilbert reference
You know what else raised?
I Otaipai I your motivation to be the very best like no one ever was?
sure
yours can too..jasonpaige.com/product/jason-paige-official-flying-tie/
The tie is beautiful
Kakashi The Copy Ninja that was bugging me what the hell was up with the tie
It's so it gives the illusion of billowing in the wind.
Mark this date: Friday, March 24 2023. We will come back and sing this one final time to honor both Ash and Pikachu and their accomplishments over the past 25 years.
Thanks for everything Ash Ketchum and Pikachu. We will miss you both. Here's to a new era.
why March 24?
@@mayankoza1521 its the final episode of Ash's final series. It will air every Friday starting on January 13th I believe.
Yes sir, Roger that
Leaving a comment to remind myself
Wait...they’re still making Pokémon videos?
What I like best is you can see on Jason's face that he's seriously enjoying this.
It's such a crime that Jason Paige apparently does NOT get paid royalties when this show has reruns :/
Really. Well that is some bullshit right there.
That is why contracts are negociated beforehand.
While yes, it is a shame, remember that he sang it back before Pokemania ran wild, and it could have just been one of those fads of the 90s. No one expected it to be the largest multimedia franchise in the world, surpassing Disney and Hello Kitty
September 20th 2020: storm Nintendo ny to give Jason page royalty’s for reruns
@@nickolazerp927 I'm in I'll help fly I've got my PPL
POKÉJON, GOTTA COVER THEM ALL!!
Yaaaas
I love how much fun they both seem to be having, Jason looks so happy that it's infectious
He finally won
I love this.
Brock Baker You're Here? Cool! Where's Brody Foxx?
Bro Pokemon theme in cartoon impressions please
notification squad boi
BROCK
Not the Brock I thought would comment
I'm sure Jason Paige was tired of hearing this song until Jonathan Young introduced him to a metal mashup. You can feel the passion he has for this, and you both sound amazing together.
I bet he was like "not another one", then looked up Jonathan Young and was like "I need more", and after hearing a sample he did a flip and couldn't dial Jon's number fast enough.
Yup. Technically, not Jon’s work though.
Lmmfao no Jason Paige loves this song still performs the hell out of it the man still replies to comments on his video of him doing the song in the studio on his channel,the RUclipsr had little to do with it.
The fact he got to experiment with a different set of lyrics was epic as well
@@billgelinas17 what lyrics
The fact that Jason was already a metal singer and brought that BEAST of a voice to this cover (does it even count as a cover if the original singer is featured?) just multiplies the awesomeness 10-fold. You can just feel his passion for the song in every note he sings. That last scream was legendary.
I was one of the people singing the second verse earlier tonight! Worth the road trip!
this is actually making me tear up a bit wtf
we had an amazing childhood
THATS it explain to me how i see your comments on every video i watch???
C Vox damn straight
All my nostalgia tears
i actually cried xDD so fking awesome
When you're so damn old, you can still hear Tentacruel crashing into the building at 0:35.
Exactly what I thought hahaha
Then hear onix roar 😭
@@lamlo9999 I'm pretty sure it was Onix, not Charizard.
@@razvanconstantin170 you're right! I got it mixed with the charizard roar haha
💥🏢💨
I feel like Jason is *trying* to look as nerdy as possible.
And simply can't get away from the fact that he's an absolute badass
coming back here hearing that Ash is officially retiring from pokemon. Started watching pokemon during Pokemon advance, I was 5 years old. I have not watched since pokemon galactic battles. everything past I have seen one or two. He become champion once and I hear now he is the no shit greatest trainer in the world. with so many heroes of the 90s and early 2000s ending their stories....I can say my childhood has finally comes to a close.
03:03 When he started singing the same tone he did in the original.
I cried.
The chills, man , the chills
I did the same, his voice is legnedary
Jonathan Young used metal sound, it was super effective.
Jason Paige used epic voice, it was super effective.
Viewers fainted.
*Hyper voice
firebreather6661 *Echoed Voice, *Disarming Voice
firebreather6661 and funnily enough, this channel is evolving
This.
*falls over* yep, I’m dead!
The title of this video is wrong. It SHOULD be, "How to make an entire generation cry of joy".
There's a reason I saw this today... 35yrs old. Thinking about ending it all... but this brought me so much joy... I'm safe for a little while longer thanks to you both. I can't thank you enough
... What? Your childhood is evolving!
...
Congratulations! Your childhood evolved into nostalgia!
no it evolved into chest hair after listening to this
Congratulations! Your childhood has evolved to existential anxiety!
@@chaosking2661 🤘 Rock on
@Riley Roberts I wish it was really possible to stop our childhoods from evolving into nostalgia. 😁
Nostalgia using Memories
ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE ! DAMNN FEEL HIT ME SO HARD
Jonathan: So, Jason, I'm doing a metal cover of Pokemon, wanna join?
Jason: Sure, as long as I get to wear this tie.
Also Jason: oh by the way I'm also bringing my Pikachu costume.
Johnathan: why?
Jason: why not?
Jonathan: Okay but I have my Pikachu shirt
Jason: Okay we can work this out
Pretty sure the camera man spoke out about this a while back on Reddit. Apparently Jason was adamant that he had to wear it as it was his "thing" like a catch phrase.
A tie that float
@@wakekeman a flying type tie
To all Pokémon fans-many of us were fortunate to be there at the beginning of Ash’s journey. Let’s all be there for the end.
As MCU Tony Stark said best,
“Part of the journey is the end.”
Who else is here after Ash finally fulfilled this song and became World Champion, a.k.a. "The very best, like no-one ever was"?
me! 🎉
A year late to the party but I’m finally here! Can’t believe I missed it when it aired and I’ve been watching since ash’s very first episode when I was freaking 11!
The fact that the original singer is a metal head made my day
You can't argue that the original is better because Jonathan literally got the original singer to sing with him lol
now they come and say the japanese one is better....even if the japanese openibg is pop crap
and it is pop crap XD
Normaly it is bad if they change the opening tracks but that was a good choise
and you are right this version is better then the original
DanGarlockMusic that was probably his plan 😱
+
Yuuki Ókami the Japanese one was legit
TheSoap1992 i am german too but i love this cover more
And i love the originall english one more then the german
I think it sounds cooler and more epic in emglisch
It's been 24 years... and it still holds up :-)
Listening to this in 2023 and it still hits my 90's heart.
This is by FAR, the best Pokémon Theme cover I've seen so far! I know that Jason Paige already made cameos in other people's covers but this one here surpassed all of them. Good job!!
Ouwa, myuuji here, i love you dude
Pavel Dorohov im. also here
he's cameo'ed with:
Chris Villian
Our Man Jonathan Young
The Rock (Made PokeRock Theme)
that i know of.
myuuji dude look up metallicas cover lol Jonathon is awesome mad love and respect to him his cover of the phantom of the opera is KING
This was more then a cameo
Let's recap all of this :
- Richard got Christina Vee to sing on Bad Apple
- Jules got John Petrucci to cover Mario theme with him
- And now you're singing The pokemon theme song with Jason ...
Is it some kind of contest about who is having the best guest ?
To be fair, Nathan Sharp has Christina Vee on many music videos now.
I mean they're engaged but my point stands.
Lance Puns Really ? I don't know much about Nathan, thank you for the information :)
Honestly YES
If it was Jonathan wins hands down this has made my entire LIFE
And I got to sing with Zach Callison (Steven Universe) ✌
I just discovered this and have been obsessed with it for days now. The nostalgia and joy I feel from hearing this song and watching this video seriously make my heart happy. The artists look like they are 110% into and enjoy what they are doing and I think that is what makes this version so great.
Whose here after Ash won and became the World Champion today, finally after 25 years. 🏆❤️🙌🏻
⚡Ash and Pikachu Rules⚡
Paige may look older....
But the legend's still got it, and then some
Um actually he doesn't look any different other than a bit of hair loss. A tiny bit.
its just like a good wine, it just getting better and better the older i gets
We don't deserve Jason pouring his soul into this as much as he did. He's truly amazing and this cover is hands down the best one I have even heard. I can't stop listening to it! Great Job!
Jason Paige has the most epic tie
im 30 and ive had this on repeat for 2 weeks. Something is wrong with me. Might be time to grow up haha
@@kingkezz9188 I'm 33 and feel like I could repeat it for hours,lol. I only just found it today though so I'm late to the party
He just looks like he's having SO much fun.
This is not a modification of my my childhood. This is a maturation.
I just had this play in the background on a mix list and thought ‘why does that second singer sound so different from Jonathan’s normal collab partners, yet so, so familiar?? It couldn’t be…’ And decided to check the song. I had this on a CD as a kid, and heard that man’s voice so many times. I’m blown away by this. So good!
I have goosebumps. We don’t deserve J Young or Jason Paige. Thank you for this 👊🏼
Jason Paige may be old, but he still got that voice, even dragons of Skyrim would bow to him he’s the Dragonborn
Got three inappropriately-leveled Dragonites to prove it.
He's the Pokeborn
this had a sort of glam rock meets metal vibe to it, and I am here for it.
Hell yea, the marching style drums 🔥🔥
In the whole year I've been able to hear things.... this is one of the greatest of those things.
I made my Magikarp watch this, now its a shiny Gyarados
a stock standard one?
This comment actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
That sounds like a weird euphemism.
I was listening to it with my Typhlosion and now he has a meta defining Mega evolution.
My Torchick heard this song
He evolved into Mega Blaziken
Jonathan young is a metal type Pokémon
Will Buttet He also uses Circle Pit a lot too and Smash
Stephen Morrison Yes it could be
This comment made my day, super clever
and his signature move is metal sound...
But also could he be a metal/ fairy type Pokémon cuz damn that voice tho!
The guitar solo still gives me chills 🔥
2:20 ikrrrrr 🥶
Just came here (it's been a little while) after watching the Pokemon episodes that aired two days ago... And now I crying my eyes out. The very best indeed!
The dude who sang my childhood, and the dude who made my childhood metal, singing together....
FUCK YEAH
A-Fucking-men dude, A-FUCKING-MEN!!
Jesus Christ can Jason hit some fucking notes. This dude deserves way more attention than he has had.
We need to get him on metal projects
Keytar needs to make a comeback. Such an under-rated instrument.
He becomes pokemon master at last.
Should we start sending Ryan Reynolds links to this music video?
Absolutely
yes pls
Yes
Of course ! ;D
Y E S
I made my Magikarp listen to this now its an Arceus
Mega Scizor you sir, are pretty funny. Nicu
I had a gameboy in my room it’s now a 3ds xl
My old pokemon cards were in my bed room and i came back after let Jonathan and jason sing their super magical hymn of the braveness now their real Pokemon, now if someone can tell me how i could make stand an Arceus in a small house it would be very nice
and its move still splash
Mine's a switch.
HE DID IT! ASH FINALLY DID IT!
Jason Page, true hero among us mortals. Your song was a true game changer for many of us when we grow up.
Jason looks like he's having so much fun singing this, it's great.
I don't think I've ever even a performance of the theme were it hasn't seemed like he was having a blast. Which is just awesome to me.
Jonathan used Metal Cover. It's Super Effective.
This is the greatest cover ever made of this song. Thank you for making it. ^___^
You would never worry about running out of power for your electric instruments, cuz you have a Pikachu there to back you up.
In case anyone didn't know, the tie is Blaine's tie from the Cinnabar Island Gym. *adjusts glasses*
Huh, no wonder this remix is fire.
Why is it floating tho
I see, a fellow man of culture. (Adjusts own glasses)

Gotta play this at the end of ash’s journey
Had to rock this today :)

My god so many memories!!!!!
Taran Jones same
While I adore Pokemom way more than you'd believe, I actually stopped playing newer games after gen three. I mean, I tried Black and technically own Y because my nephew ended up with two and gave me one. I did start playing it, I think I have a badge.
But I still play my Pokemom Red, Yellow, Fire Red, Ruby, and Emerald.
Bassoonify I don't think I will ever stop playing the games and shouting this theme at the top of my lungs
HOLY MOLY. JASON PAIGE'S VOICE STILL SLAPS EVEN WHEN HE'S OLD.
Finally! Ash Ketchum has become a Pokemon Master! Better then the very best! The Best there ever was you could say
Where can I get that physics-defying tie?
...but there must be some kind of gravity-warping physics nonsense involved?
Huh. Well I guess there's no magic left in this cold, cold world after all then
Why thank you for those words of wisdom! I sure learned a valuable lesson here today
OK Jonathan
buy a tie put some iron string into it, bend the string
