Did G/S/C have the best music out of all 4 gens?

[Rageman]

I think so.

It was fresh, upbeat, and good.
Much better then the new music, including D/P.
Anyone agree?

 

[Spire]

I have to agree with you, especially if it sounds like this.

 

[Yonowaru in Chaos]

Yes it did. I LOVED the Credits Roll. And somehow, the consistent beeping actually helped capture the feel of the music. It was way better than the DP Ending Theme. I loved nearly all the themes in GSC, except for the Bike Theme (we are still yet to find an unannoying Bike Theme), which is odd, seeing as the Bike Theme is essentially a remix of Goldenrod City.

And the better thing was, that after you get access to Kanto, the music essentially gets BETTER. The Battle Themes are changed and some of the old music (like Lavender Town) still remains, only slightly changed. The only bad thing I found was the softening of the music in Viridian Forest....

 

[The Lemonkraken]

Damn right 2nd Generation had the best music. Especially Viradian(sp?) Forest, National Park, Dragon's Den, Game Corner, & much more.

 

[The Power of Pika]

I'm a bigger fan of DP music actually.=/
Guess I'm a bit different.

GS music really didn't do it for me but it was okay. I didn't mind Johto music. The only music I really liked in Johto was the music in the building with those Eevee evolutions trainers and the Suicune music in Crystal. I use to like the final Pokemon league champions music aswell except when playing it through now the music doesn't seem as great anymore for some reason there. It's okay still and that's all I can say. Though I like the crazy remixes people put online so I'd probably like a remix tune better if it ever happened. I think there was a remix tune in FR and LG on one of the islands from GS. I liked that better than the original.

I hated most of the kanto's remix music in GS though. I'd take red, blue, yellow's old music over that remix. The only kanto music in GS I liked was actually the Gym leader battle and that's it. LG and FR did a better job at remixing it. It gave me a different feeling that I just didn't like.

Guess I'm in a different sector when it comes to to music.

My favourite music is mostly in DP, RBY and LG and FR.
Then it's goes Emerald, RS and then GS. Though GS rises when I hear remix music of it. I usually turn the sound down to nill when in kanto in GS and only turn it up when there's a gym leader battle since that's the only tune I liked in Kanto in GS. The other tunes rubbed me in a bad way. I can't explain it in all honesty.

Johto's okay. Not much stood out for me but it was okay.

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

G/S/C had some nice music, but it's not that memorable for me. I like some of D/P's music a lot though.

 

[Ikito]

I loved the g/s/c ore then any over 8D

 

[Wulava]

Despite of being chiptunes, GSC melodies are indeed greater than the rest of the generations. Although, instrumentality-wise, I admit that D/P has gone far beyond GSC since it really is using instruments and not those awfully annoying beeps.

Well, I do hope that there be a GSC Remake to hear the REAL instrumentality of the GSC music.

 

[MidnightStorm]

Lots of people talk about GSC music and it being really great. For me though, I don't remember any of it; maybe I never payed attention to it.

 

[Lord of Music]

DP sounded artificial, while GSC sounded fresh, and VERY pokemon-like.

 

[Mr. Mudkip]

uhh... I might have to go with gen 3's R/S (forget emerald). It had the best colors, storyline, and music. G/S/C is close in 2nd place.

 

[lightdash]

3rd gen and 4th gen were way better than 2nd gen. I do have to admit though, 2nd gen had a "fresh" style, but it got old very quickly. The remixes in the Kanto region weren't so bad.

 

[Wulava]

Oh but if you play Pokemon Puzzle League GBC, you'll love the way how GSC city themes were remixed.

 

[XSilverStarboyX]

I most defenantly agree that it had the best music. I have almost the entire soundtrack on my ipod;152;

 

[Blivsey]

Oh, yes. I may be biased because it was my first Pokémon game, but most of those songs are pure gold to me, particularly the battle theme and credits music. Lance battle was rather epic. Most of the other themes were nice and often catchy, too. Good times.

 

[Tri hawk]

I'd say it's a toss up between DP and GSC. But I grew up listening to beeps, so GSC it is.

 

[Ariki]

Hm. Hard to say. I'd say D/P and G/S/C are equal in that the tunes in G/S/C are memorable while the music in D/P is more than just a midi file.

 

[Meganium Ex]

G/s/c > D/p > R/b/g/y > R/s/e.

Edit: Damn, why does the capitilization keep changing?

I think the style of GSC music lies within its beeps. But even so, I really don't find GSC music annoying at all. But if there is a Johto remake, they're bound to remix the music.

Yes GSC definitely captured the pokemon style.

I'd say it's a toss up between DP and GSC. But I grew up listening to beeps, so GSC it is.

Well DP music is very good and sometimes, rather complex (hear Mt. Coronet). Its good entertainment for people who like complex compositions.

 

[Dark Arceus]

EASILY. There isn't a tune I don't like on the game, and if the G/S/C remake ever comes alomg, they'd better keep the same tunes.
