Which Pokemon game had the best music

Big Boss · November 16, 2015, 07:57:30 AM

R/S/E for me. So many memorable tracks that bring back good memories.

YouTube

Most of the games had great music too but Gen 3's was the one that really stood out the most.

Luciana · November 16, 2015, 08:14:56 AM

You honestly think RSE had the best music? Sorry, but I don't like trumpets for literally every single track. The remakes did it fine, maybe, but not the original.

RSE in a nutshell

OT:

I'd argue it was either Black and White 1 or Heart Gold/ Soul Silver. Also also argue Cynthia's theme is the best champion theme.

What with N's theme

Sayonara

Elite 4

and obviously, Team Plasma

GSC, I think, but I'm biased (it was my first gen).

Silver best rival.

I also think that gen had the best music.

XY

All of them are equally good.

Alternative Facts · November 16, 2015, 08:45:13 AM

Gen 4

Verbatim · November 16, 2015, 09:24:30 AM

Generation I was probably the worst in terms of music (and everything else), but that's understandable.

Only notable tracks IMO:

Wild Pokémon Battle Theme
Trainer Battle Theme
Gym Leader Battle Theme
Champion Battle Theme
Mt. Moon
S.S. Anne
Lavender Town
Pokémon Tower
Pokémon Mansion

Beyond that:

RSE's music was pretty good. I thought the constant trumpets were tolerable. Never really bothered me.
FR/LG's music was a faithful rendition of all the old tracks, vastly improving the OST.
DPPt's music was okay.
HG/SS was a fucking insult. Ruined all of my favorite tracks.
OR/AS was pretty amazing. Brought so much life into the RSE OST.

Haven't heard enough of BW1/2 or XY to form an opinion.

B/W 1 and 2

Every game has its own share of great music.

I like the trumpets though. Doesn't bother me at all. The remakes did a great job with the soundtrack too, though the Elite 4 theme seemed to be a bit lacking. I think it was because it left out the clapping sound (I think it was clapping)

The Primal Groudon/Kyogre and Deoxys themes were amazing tho.

GAMERG0D · November 16, 2015, 11:08:21 AM

This trumpets meme is getting out of hand.

Pokemon yellow.

DAS B00T x2 · November 16, 2015, 12:05:23 PM

Gen 2
followed by TCG

I have a chiptune fetish.

Puro · November 16, 2015, 03:32:15 PM

I liked most of the themes.

My favorites are Zinnia's theme, Team Aqua/Magma leader theme, and N's theme.

I disliked how similar they all sounded. I think Fire Red/Leaf Green showed how to diversify the music on the same system.

And yes, it was the clapping. However the fight between the faction leaders was some of the best music I've heard.

I really like Black/White's and Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby's music a lot

anyone who disagrees is categorically wrong

Luciana · November 16, 2015, 05:24:55 PM

Lance/Red's theme was HG/SS was faaaaar better than it was in the Black and White 2 remake, simply because if the build up to the main tune, and the solo bit it had. BW2's problem was it was too dubby dub step.

Also, found a good mashup of the old Elite Four from Gen 3 plus the new, so claps are in.
