Ps vs PP
Hi guys, I was wondering why the pokemon theme goes like this "I want to be, the very best, like no one ever was" and not like this "......like no one ever has been"? Can someone explain the difference?

Presumably it's to make a rhyme (or semi-rhyme) with "cause" in the next line. Ulman "I want to be, the very best, like no one ever was" The comma after "be" shouldn't be there. like no one ever has been"?
