Pokémon Go Celebrates 10 Years with New Song from Original Theme Singer Jason Paige
Jason Paige, best known for performing the iconic English theme song “Pokémon Theme (Gotta catch ‘Em All),” has released a new song, “Catch the World With A Throw: A Tribute to Pokémon Go,” on his YouTube channel to commemorate the game’s 10th anniversary.
“It’s hard to believe that Pokémon Go just turned 10 years old. To celebrate the anniversary of a game that changed the world, I created a brand-new theme song inspired by Pokémon Go — the adventure, the community, and the memories we all share,” Paige wrote in the video description. “From the summer it launched to the millions of trainers still playing today, Pokémon Go represents exploration, nostalgia, and connection in a way no other game ever has. Being part of this milestone means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you to every trainer who’s been on this journey.”
Notably, Paige initially uploaded a version of “Catch The World With A Throw” shortly after Pokémon Go’s original release in 2016.
Paige has maintained a strong connection to the Pokémon franchise since recording the original theme song in the 1990s. He frequently appears at conventions and has created several unofficial Pokémon anthems,including “It’ll always Be Me & You,” inspired by Detective Pikachu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxEN5J4aI2I). He also re-recorded the original theme song after Pokémon Go launched and collaborated with Dwayne Johnson on the parody track “PokeRock” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-P_dUIEA5o&list=RDb-P_dUIEA5o&start_radio=1).
