The Official Pokemon Music Discussion Thread

Firus · Jul 18, 2008

I've thought about creating this thread for a while, and finally got around to it.

The point of this thread is to discuss your favorite/least favorite tunes, the most epic ones, etc. from Pokemon. This can be ones from the game, or from the TV Show (We're on the road to Viri-!*is shot*).

I'd like to start out by saying that the most epic Route music is definitely Route 22 (could be on other Routes too, but I was in Route 22 when I realized this), or the Route next to the Pokemon League in R/B/G/Y. My friend pointed it out to me the other day, and when I thought about it, it really is the best Route music.

I'm pretty sure this thread is in the right place...I've always been confused about whether all music threads go in the Media Metropolis forum or if they go in their own place if they belong to a more specific forum...if this isn't the place for it, someone please correct me.

I added the Mewtwo theme music to my first post in this thread. Watch it. The Music is the best Pokemon Battle theme out there.

I posted it in my post, too.

But it's not the best Pokemon Battle theme. The best Pokemon Battle theme is either the regular trainer music (I found an AWESOME metal remix of that) or the Champion music. Both of those from R/B/G/Y.

The Champion music is in my post.

Epic,Firus. I remember this from Yellow. The first time I ever won it was with my level 70 Jolteon and Charizard! :laugh:

Nver mind. My new favorite Battle theme for trainers. Mewtwo still has the best Legend theme, though. Right next to Deoxys.

1st one: Good. I wouldn't call it the best, but it was an awesome song, and the best part of Colosseum.

2nd one: Pretty good.
3rd one: Meh. It's okay.

Last one: Yeah, that's the only good music in Diamond/Pearl. Well, and maybe the Champion music. It's pretty epic.

Oh, I love that song! Doesn't it just want to make you get up and dance?

By the way, I'm not entirely sure if this matters...but this has pretty much turned into a youtube video posting topic. While we're basically posting the songs, just in YouTube format, perhaps we should name the songs and give the YouTube link just as a "If you want to listen to it" kind of thing. I'm just not sure if the mods will like it.

if anyone wants to hear the pokerap in german here it is
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zehSA0wX0f4
it's really funny

Firus · Jul 22, 2008

Hey, so that's where Smogon's name comes from...

I never understood why the site was called that.

Mewter · Jul 22, 2008

! That was funny!
Just hearing it differently than usual.
Snorlax was called "Relaxo"
:laugh:

Kind of funny.

what me and my friend found funnier is that Omastar was calle "Amoroso" which means luvable or adored(in some way) in Spanish.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BcusV0DRmAU
here's the Pokerap in Spanish for those who want to hear it, maybe even if you understand it it's still hilarious to hear it in spanish.

Firus · Aug 5, 2008

Cease Tick, thanks for posting those remixes, they're all pretty awesome. That Metal Red Remix definitely takes the cake though. AWESOME.

Someone needs to follow in Metroid Metal's tracks and do some Metal remixes for another video game franchise. Or maybe Metroid Metal could do it for another video game franchise...because their Metroid tracks are simply AWESOME. They capture the original song awesomely yet at the same time the remixes feel completely new.

...But I digress, this isn't a Metroid thread.

Also, "Like, what the hell, Pikachu?"
That made me laugh. I really ought to watch WTFP, I just haven't found the time to just sit down and watch every episode thus far so I can't start yet. Well, I can, but I won't until I watch every previous one.

And zrky, the Pokerap in Spanish was hilarious. I actually understood a lot of it, and not just because I know the Pokerap all too well. I guess the little bit of Spanish I took years ago stuck with me. Which is funny, because I thought I forgot it all.
Oh yeah, and the funniest thing was them pronouncing Omastar like "Oh-mah-ster". The way they said it was just funny.
