10 Best Cartoon Theme Songs

2. Pokémon

This hit Japanese anime had its own unique English theme, which would go on to be a big part of what made the show such a success in the west.

This song was written by John Siegler and John Loeffler and was sung by Jason Paige. It has this instantly charming vibe to it that blends powerful vocals with a quirky sound that feels like the perfect accompaniment to the series as a whole.

The lyrics even went on to become synonymous with the show itself, with the phrase "Gotta catch 'em all!" becoming the official English slogan for the show, which displays how much influence this song had over the popularity of the brand.

People who have no experience with the world of Pokémon will likely still be able to sing along to this tune. It's also ironic that a show about catching little creatures would have such a catchy theme.
