New ending theme: "Type: Wild" by Shokotan and Hyadain

[satopi]

They can remake the song but they better keep it all instrumental or the original version if this is going to play in Ash’s major battles. I listened to the full version and I’m not feeling it at all. The new electronic sounds and chorus just wasn’t a good add. Maybe it fits Shokotan’s style though this song ruins the hype that the original carries. Please keep it as an ending, I could see how it’ll fit as it. Had they kept it the same, only having Shokotan covering it, it wouldn’t be bad at all. This new version isn’t all that great despite Shokotan’s vocals...

But still better than Okazaki Taiiku so I give it a 6/10.

what do you have against okazaki? I now kinda want an okazaki version of type:wild just to know how it'd sound like

Edit: Turns out I blamed the wrong person. The arrangement for this version of Type: Wild is actually Kenichi Maeyamada, not Hyadain. Sorry Hyadain

No, you had it right the first time. They're the same person.

Oh lol, thanks for telling me.

-A pokemon movie is going to premier BEFORE japan in the USA at Anime Expo 2019

Sorry to disappoint, but it's going to have several Japanese pre-premieres prior to that.

Really meh remix. The background music is way too loud, and while Shokotan sounds alright, she's trying very hard to imitate the original. Just want this to be the ending, because it's not hype at all as an insert theme (guess could work for SM battles. A not very good theme complements SM's battles).

He can’t sing at all evidenced by the amount of auto tune he has used which ruins the song, songs that would’ve been way better had Rica sung them and he traumatized my vision the moment I saw that music video of Pose. He only sounds decent in “Your Adventure” but for the most part, I am not a fan of his vocals at all. (And I feel kind of bad for saying this but he’s really unattractive in appearance.) A Type: Wild version using his voice would be consisted of a lot of background sounds drowning the flaws of his voice mixed in with auto tune to the point where it sounds like a electronic train wreck until you realize that was a song. So basically, a XY opening theme excluding XYZ.

The new version of Type: Wild will be included on the Kaze to issho ni single

The single will also include a remaster of Pocket ni fantasy by Sachiko Kobayashi and Juri Ihata, ie "that song that was used in that combined music video/movie trailer for Mewtwo Strikes Back that silly people act like showcases a cut ending from the movie, pretending that Juri is Satoshi and Kasumi's daughter for god knows what reason". You know the one.

And in related news, Juri herself was at the movie's pre-premiere earlier today: https://twitter.com/shoko55mmts/status/1145252056875192320

Final thoughts on the new Type: Wild

- Of course they're gonna go with the rotating Rotom Pokedex on a purple background with Ash and Pikachu running, why go halfway with nostalgia when you can go all the way
- Having Ash's friends in Chibi form pop up one by one at the side of Rotom Pokedex's screen is a cute touch
- Getting Ash's friends to run as well for a single line of the song is really nice, the chibi forms on the side also switch around whenever a different person is running
- The final shot where Ash's friend all jump out for a group hug is really heartwarming. With this, I can really feel how the Alolan group are all friends with each other. This is not just Ash's adventure, but the whole group's adventure together as friends

Wow, this was so good. The song isn't as good as the original version (not that the new version is bad, mind you), but visually, it's several times better.

Ash is far more animated than in the original (I think he only had like four cycles in the original), and they even include the others, so he isn't alone with Pikachu. Again with the Alola togetherness I love so much.

 

[satopi]

I liked the running scenes with Ash and Pikachu. It’s silly seeing Pikachu messing up Ash’s running cycle. Everyone else’s running cycle was cute as well as the small forms of Ash’s and his friends’ Pokemon on the Rotomdex. The Rotomdex shows a review of the episode and in the purple background, it’s the original 151 Pokémon I think(?) I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I liked the group hug at the end, it shows their love and friendship towards their group, especially Ash, the newcomer.

So, the first eight bars to this sounds like it's sung by Megumi Nakajima as Meloetta. Is she credited?

It's Shoko.

Ending got an update today. Meltan's changed to Melmetal as expected (not that it's easy to tell).

But they added extra scenes of Kukui, Delia, Team Rocket, the Aether group, and others I might've missed.

Ash and co. even got nice individual close-up shots.

Quite interesting. But why now?

 

[ash&charizardfan]

Quite interesting. But why now?

Probably because its near to end of series with final match going on so its the best time to include everyone.

 

[lolipiece]

Oh, a nice touch. When Delia appears, the logos for each of Ash's hats flies down the screen, with Pikachu wearing the Alola cap.

Pretty nice, even better than before, and the close-up shots are amazing!
We've come a long way since this...

 

[TheNewGuy]

Type Wild is the best.

I think I'm like a Pavlov Dog with that song though because of Infernape/Electivire.

 

[Sham]

Just because type wild is playing.....does not mean Satoshi is winning alola league as that song doesn't really about him actually win a league as more about him saying good-bye to his hometown masara town (pallet town)

This didn’t age well
