Full version
A full version of the song was released on the Pokémon YouTube channel. This version contains both previous versions and a special transition never seen before.
Changes compared to the main versions:
- The transition between a failed attempt and the successful attempt to do a shiritori is changed in both parts.
- 10 groups of Pokémon appear on wheels surrounding Pokéballs, Great balls, Hyper balls, and Master balls.
- The middle segment includes a special (muted) shiritori: Scorbunny > Mew
- The four groups of pokemon are seen dancing two times, with the second 'round' being a modified version.
Trivia
- The song is based on a Pokémon name version of shiritori, in which the last syllable of a Pokémon's name is used as the first syllable of the next Pokémon's name, and stating a name which ends with the syllable ン n results in a loss, due to the fact that no word or name ever begins with that syllable.
- The English ending is a muted version of the Pikachu > Mew shiritori's successful attempt. With the off-vocal version of the theme song over it
