Who performed the original English Pokémon anime theme song?

Jason Paige performed the original English Pokémon anime theme song.

The song, commonly called “Pokémon Theme,” served as the opening for the first season of the English adaptation. Paige provided the lead vocals, while John Siegler and John Loeffler wrote the song and Siegler produced the recording.

The song was recorded in 1998 and became closely associated with the English-language franchise. Its refrain also popularized the slogan “Gotta catch 'em all!” among international viewers.

Paige is sometimes confused with the song's writers or later vocalists. David Rolfe performed later Pokémon television themes, and Billy Crawford recorded a cover for the soundtrack of Pokémon: The First Movie. Paige remains the singer of the original English theme.
