Favorite music track from each generation?
- Thread starter Ignition
- Start date
This is a great idea for a thread! 
Gen I Team Rocket's Hideout - really like the sound of it, brings in a sense of danger
Gen II I have two faves here, couldn't narrow it down to one since it's such a good soundtrack...
Trainer Challenge Theme 1 - love the feel of this one, action/adventure... and Rocket Tower Takeover, it feels a lot like the anime here, and it makes me grin from ear to ear
Gen III Wild Pokémon Battle ! - like this one in terms of bringing some excitement into the battles
Gen IV Television Channel - just like the pleasantness of this theme
Gen V Unwavering Emotions - first song in the series to almost bring tears to my eyes, so emotional and well composed
Gen VI Pokemon X & Y Wild Pokemon Battle Theme - one of my favorite battle themes, just really well done
Gen VII Battle! Wild Pokemon! - thought this one was pretty good
Side games (putting them here) - from Pokémon Colosseum (love the entire OST to be honest) - Normal Battle - love this theme, it's fun to listen to; from Pokémon Trading Card Game - Club Leader Duel - love the intenseness of this theme; from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Dungeon - Tiny Woods - just really like this theme, nice and light

Gen 4: Twinleaf Town, the route outside Twinleaf (can’t remember the number), Jubilife City, Oreburgh City, Floroama Town (I think I spelled it wrong), Eterna City, Eterna Forest, Veilstone City, Pastoria City, Team Galactic HQ, Route 216/217, Snowpoint City, Sunnyshore City, the route leading to Sunnyshore, Champion battle, Fight/Survival/Resort Area
Gen 5: Nuvema Town, Route 1, Striaton City, Nacrene City, Mistralton City, Opelucid City (Black/Black 2), Pinwheel Forest, Village Bridge, Marvellous Bridge, Aspertia City, Humilau City, Victory Road, Elite 4 Battle, Champion Battle (B2/W2), Dragonspiral Tower, Wild Pokemon battle, Trainer battle, Team Plasma battle, Ghetsis battle, Reshiram/Zekrom battle

Haven’t heard any music from Gen 8 yet, but maybe I might get some new favourites when Sword/Shield actually come out.
Also, has anyone noticed that the music for the route just outside Sunnyshore sounds a lot like Green Day’s 21 Guns?

Did the Abandoned Ship theme appear in OR/AS? I seem to remember it was, but it might have been for a different place.

Wasn't it used in Sea Mauville? A slightly slower version was also used in Southern Island in ORAS.

Yeah, Sea Mauville was OR/AS's replacement for the Abandoned Ship.

Gen 1: Champion theme and Lavender Town
Gen 2: Azalea Town and Blackthorn City theme
Gen 3: Frontier Brain theme
Gen 4: I remember Cynthia's theme giving me an adrenaline rush as a kid when I first heard it. Great track!
Gen 5: Castelia City theme
Gen 6: Hands down Zinnia's theme! In X&Y, the Elite Four theme was pretty badass if it didn't take you half a minute to beat them lol!
Gen 7: Ultra Necrozma theme and Route 2 theme; the latter gave me this weird nostalgia when I first heard it for some reason.
Spin-offs: Every! Single! Theme! In! Pokémon! XD! As a whole, Pokémon XD has the best music I've ever heard from a Pokémon game.

I think the reason we didn't hear a lot of Gen 6 music was because the battles were really easy and you could beat them in five minutes or less. Hopefully Gen 8 will be a bit more challenging so we can hear more of that awesome battle music.
