this is far from correct; at first i figured out the exact bass line from the theme song itself, but it grew into something i can play rhythmically and roam around the fretboard easily.

my bass and rhythm playing are mediocre at best, so let my tabs only be a tonal guide to how the song progressesfrom my own understanding. disregard the repetitive notes i tab.


>> INTRO
G ---------------|
D ---------------|
A --5s10---------|
E ---------------|

>> VERSE I
G ------------------------|
D ----5-------------------|
A -5h8--------------------|
E ------------------------|
	I wanna be the very best

G ---------------|
D ---------------|
A -8h5-----------|
E ----3----------|
	like no one ever was

G --------------------------|
D --------------------------|
A -8-5-5h6----------------1-|
E --------------------------|
	To catch them is my real test
G ----------------------------|
D ----------------------------|
A ------------1-------3-----5-|
E ----------------------------|	
	To train them is my cause

Repeat it for the second verse

I will travel across the land
searching far and wide
Each pokemon to understand
the power that's inside

>> CHORUS
after the 1-3-5 on the A, go directly into:
G --------------------------|   (it's a weird rhythm i do, so make up
D --------------------------|    something of your own to make it work)
A --------6--666------------|
E --------------------6-666-|
	Pokemon! its you and me

G --------------------------|
D --------------------------|
A --------6--666------8-888-|
E --------------------------|
	I know its my destiny,

G ----------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------| by now, you should see that you're basically just going up the A
A -------10--101010------12--121212-|
E ----------------------------------|	
	Pokemon! Oh you're my best friend

G --------------------------|
D --------------------------| and we go back to that 1-3-5 punchline
A -----------1----5----3----|
E --------------------------|
	in a world we must defend

G ---------------------------------|
D ---------------------------------| i added a twist to the chorus cause playing the same thing twice isn't fun.
A --------6--666-------------------|
E --------------------6-666--6-6-5-| <-- transition optional but it sounds good!
	Pokemon! a heart so true

i've no clue how to tab the next part with the words. so to show my effort into this tab, i'm just going to tab it normally for you to figure out
G ------------------------------------------------|
D ------------------------------------------------| now you're going up the E
A ------------------------------------------------|
E ----3-33-333-3h5-5-555-s8-88-888-8h10-10-101010-|

G --------------------------|
D --------------------------|
A -----------1----5----3----|
E --------------------------|

G --------------------------|
D --------------------------| different chorus
A -----------6----8----10---|
E --------------------------|

>> VERSE II
same thing as the first verse

Every challenge allong the way
with courage I will face.
I will battle every day
to claim my rightful place.
Come with me,
the time is right,
there's no better team.
Arm in arm we'll win the fight!
It's always been our dream! 

>> CHORUS
the chorus is exactly the same

>> BRIDGE/GUITAR SOLO
get creative, but don't fill the space too much

i change it around every time i play, but here's more or less exactly how i did it in the video:
G ------12-10--12-10----------------12-10--12-10--10-10------12-10--12-10----------|
D -------------------12-10-12---------------------------------------------12-10-12-|
A --10--------------------------10-----------------------10------------------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G ------12-10--12-10------14-12--14-12---------------14-12--14-12-12-13-14---------|
D -------------------------------------14-12-14------------------------------------|
A --10----------------12-------------------------12--------------------------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
		      ^ whole step (two fret) key change

G ------14-12--14-12-12-----------------|
D -----------------------------------5--|
A --12-------------------6-6--7-7-------|
E --------------------------------------|
				     ^ from here, play the verse riff:
G ---------------|
D ---------------|
A -8h5-----------| and so on
E ----3----------|

everything else during the solo is uniform to the verse except when you do the 1-3-5.
the guitar, bass, and drum should repeat the 1-3. therefore: 1-1--3-3--(rest)--1-1--3-3--5

and at the 5, i go up an octave in the video to add some forte (fret 17)



hope that helps!
