'''Black & White''' is the opening theme song for [[Pokémon: Black & White]], and the fourteenth opening theme song of the English [[Pokémon Anime|Pokémon anime]] series.
}}'''''Black and White''''' is the fourteenth English theme song in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' anime series. There are two versions of the theme song. However, the English version is much different from the orignal Japanese version because the music, lyrics, and the way they showed the animation to go with the song are all different. The Japanese's animation (being the country where Pokémon was created) was the original. The Japanese's version is much longer and has a more quick and steady beat. The English's version however, was significantly slower and much softer sounding.

Lyrics

TV version

♪ It's always hard, When the journey begins. Hard to find your way, Hard to make new friends. But there's nothing you can't do, Cause you've got the power inside of you.

It's not always black and white, But your heart always knows what's right. It's not about win or lose, it's the path you choose. Let the journey begin Pokémon! ♪

Movie version

♪ It's always hard, When the journey begins. Hard to find your way; Hard to make amends. But there's nothing you can't do, 'Cause you've got the power inside of you.

It's never easy, To make a choice: To keep things inside, Or raise your voice. But for everyone there comes a time When the light inside begins to shine.

It's not always right or wrong, As long as your spirit's strong. It's not always win or lose, It's the road you choose; The answer's within.

It's not always black and white, But your heart always knows what's right. But let the journey begin—

So many choices; How do we know? So many places; Where do we go? What should I say? What should I do? Still, we're together: me and you!

It's not always right or wrong, As long as your spirit's strong. It's not always win or lose, It's the road you choose; The answer's within.

It's not always black and white, But your heart always knows what's right. But let the journey begin: Pokémon!

There's nothing you can't do, 'Cause you've got the power inside of you. It's not always right or wrong, As long as your spirit's strong. It's not always win or lose, It's the road you choose; The answer's within.

It's not always black and white, but your heart always knows what's right. Let the journey begin: Pokémon! ♪
