With today's episode (the Kucheat one), there was a new opening theme. The song was pretty much entirely instrumental and seemed to borrow the melodies of both "Mezase Pokemon Master" (the very first Pocket Monsters opening) and "Advance Adventure" (the very first Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation opening). What little singing there was seemed to be sung by a choir, similar to the Pokemon battle themes in the Super Smash Brothers Melee game for the GameCube.
As for the animation, it starts off with Satoshi in a stadium, facing the three Regis (no, they haven't been forgotten!).
We then see Haruka call out her various pokemon.
Then, for a while, we see a lot of shots of different pokemon, which reminded me a lot of the scenes aired before the Deoxys movie.
Afterward, we see a side-view of Team Rocket digging a hole underground, going from the right side of the screen to the left. Then, a second later, we see them running from the left side of the screen to the right, followed by a stampede of Kokodora, Kodora, and, if I recall correctly, some Bossgodora. Tough break, guys!
In a dark alleyway, we see a shadowy figure look around before jumping out of sight.
We also see Takeshi jumping around a bunch of silouhettes of beautiful women while holding onto a bouqet of flowers. He stops at one, only to see the silouhette turn into a Gonbe and eat his bouquet!
We also see the standard "Satoshi looking over a fallen Pikachu" scene--this time, the group's at a playground during a rainstorm, and Takeshi and Haruka and the others look happy to see that Pikachu's alright.
The video ends with Satoshi running as all the regions' various legendaries (the three legendary birds of Kanto, the three legendary beasts of Jouto, the three Regis of Houen, and Speed-Form Deoxys) running/flying across the screen.
No spoilers were given in the opening. Everyone had the same pokemon groups that we know about, so no surprises were given. In fact, we didn't even see Ash's Snorunt in the opening. Weird.
I'm sure I've forgotten plenty, but that's pretty much the gist of the animation.
