Pokémon: The First Movie: Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the first Pokémon film in the North American markets. Two songs were featured in the animated short Pikachu's Vacation and eight songs were exclusive to the album, not being featured in either the short or the movie. The CD contains extra features, such as Pokémon videos and a screensaver. When it was released, it included a promotion to send in a proof of purchase for an exclusive Jigglypuff card from the Pokémon TCG.
Alongside this soundtrack, the orchestral score from the movie was also released on the CD Pokémon: The First Movie Original Motion Picture Score on May 9, 2000.
The soundtrack was released on Atlantic Records, a sister company to Warner Bros., the film's distributor outside Japan. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on January 11, 2000 for selling 2,000,000 copies.
