Pokemon eng OP translated into Japanese
Just curious: I know the original JP theme, but what is the translation of these, from English to Japanese?
Gotta catch 'em all! / Got to catch them all!
I wanna be the very best / I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
Many thanks in advance!! ^-^

Although I could probably come up with a semi-unnatural sounding Japanese version of the lyrics, I was curious to see if any Japanese person had already undertook the task of translating the Pokemon Theme song and I found exactly what you are looking for!

Some of the japanese is more of an explanation than a translation. For example, I would probably translate "Like no one ever was" as 今まで存在しただれよりも (With the implied following sentence being いいポケモンマスタになりたい). But majority of the lyrics have direct translations.
