Yeah it's great for nostalgia's purpose but it's just so cheesy and repetitive it just doesn't stand up to the original Pocket Monsters Theme.
A shounen anime? Cheesy and repetitive? A shounen anime where the main character will be 10 forever and never win a tournament and forget all he learned in the last arc and constantly trade in new, weaker Pokemon?
Why, i believe the Pokemon anime is defined by cheesiness and repetitiveness. Sounds like the first American theme was perfect.
Besides, the theme perfectly captures the entire spirit of Pokemon. It IS about catching them all. It gets you pumped to do it too, even though it's really boring and you have to find other people to do it.
Seriously though, Pokemon is one of the few anime with a very dedicated dub fanbase and it's most certainly not all nostalgia since people still watch it with DP and BW and all that. Yet I've seen nothing but praise for most of 4Kids' theme songs. 4Kids did great music, whatever their other issues. In fact, I kinda hope TFS keeps in some Faulconer music just like LittleKuriboh kept in the better 4Kids' music like the Egyptian Gods themes.
