Really? I thought ORAS had one of the best OSTs in the series, while XY's was almost entirely lackluster, barring the Rival, Wild Pokémon, Credits, any AZ theme, and one town theme (Anistar I think? Need to check).
I thought XY's gym and evil team themes were easily the weakest in the series.
I agree, ORAS and R/S/E have some of my favorite tracks. In order I'd say best OSTs go to:
6)X and Y. I like a lot of the tracks, but there are to many I find average. It has good moments though.
5) Diamond and Pearl. I remember certain parts to the sound track and they all aren't to bad, but I can't say most are memorable to me. There are a few though and the tracks are still good.
4) Red and Blue. This is almost on par with Diamond and Pearl. The originals have some amazing and iconic tracks though that made them so big, so I'd say it lies here.
3) Gold and Silver. Pretty amazing tracks here. Love the Japanese traditional vibe and themes. Great generation overall!
2) Ruby and Sapphire. It's hard to say which I like more Hoenn or Johto. Both have really good themes imo but I 'll place them here. The cave theme, abandoned ship, elite four, Deoxys battle, are some of my favorites. Really fun tracks!
1) Black and White. The whole track list is phenomenal! Gym battles, plasma's and N's themes or music, etc. Probably my all time favorite generation because of this and how good the story was.
I'm curious as to where Sun and Moon will place here. So far the music seems pretty good and I can't wait to see how the whole soundtrack will find.
Only if I get to act like a Hollywood hacker where banging on the keyboard = science stuff.
Wait that's not how that works?
