I like how the legendaries kept their original themes, I can't imagine having a 3D battle against raikou with some 8-bit music playing haha but it sounds cool.

God I LOVE the remixed music, especially Steven's and Zinnia's. I'm getting so nostalgic listening to the OST haha.

Wally's theme wouldn't seem out of place in something like Tales or Shin Megami Tensei.

Ooh, sweet, so the Deoxys theme I heard on Reddit was legit. Now, to see if battlefield is just as amazing. It's in space of course it is

VS. ZINNIA

Note: Some part of her music reminds me some French-soul inside of it, which perfectly matches with Kalos theme.
It fits her team if you consider four of the members. I love the inclusion of a violin.

Oh and, has Ho-Oh's theme been uploaded yet?

They ruined the Elite 4 theme, it goes way overboard with trumpets. Pity because it was my favorite theme in the originals.



Also awful. It's generic rock that doesn't really fit him.

No claps on e4 killed it for me.

The new OST isn't formally "bad" exactly, but not really what I was hoping for. It seems to completely miss a lot of nuance that the original had in terms of instrumental flairs and details. The new renditions capture the general idea of the themes, but don't take them much further than that, and it definitely disappoints me.

Really?

seems more like a "rising hope" type of theme to me, like him finally rising to the challenge after working so hard despite his illness. Thats why he has this theme during his final encounter, he's grown up and become strong.

Well this theme disappointed me to be honest, also the lack of clapping on several themes since they did hoenn ost even more unique.

I can't say anything about the quality of the theme itself, and i do agree some instrument use could be lacking. But I was arguing against the fitting wally thing more then anything else.

I think theres a lot of background instruments and melodies that are hard to hear at first hear that make the themes better though, like the sort of 8-bit tune in the background of the wild pokemon battle theme makes it a joy to listen to with headphones.

Nope, I don't really get that feeling in this encounter.

Welp..if you say so. lol No use arguing about it, I dont think I'll be able to convince you otherwise.


On a side note, dexoys's theme is so HNNNNNNG <3 the instruments fit so well for its theme!

ugggh this is going to be hard to find a favorite... but...
admin Leader remix>Dexoys> Zinnia theme>battle frontier>Champion>rival>elite four

Can't really say if they ruined it but to be honest, I was expecting more. It feels like it's incomplete and the harmonia is somewhat lacking, you know.

However, I do love other themes more and surprised that they made a huge impact compared to E4 at the moment. Vs. Wally, Zinnia and Frontier Brain are very well made.

ugggh this is going to be hard to find a favorite... but...
admin Leader remix>Dexoys> Zinnia theme>battle frontier>Champion>rival>elite four

My list would be:

Zinnia=Wally>Frontier Brain>Archie/Maxie>Rival>Elite Four>Deoxys>Champion

Deoxy's battle theme slays; it's almost better than the original imo. The Frontier Brain battle BGM is amazing too omg.

Zinnia's theme sounds very french like, which further kinda connects her to Kalos.

All the music so far is amazing, I love the Champion theme and the Dive theme.

Well done Game Freak!!!

All the music in these games are gorgeous, they even gave Wally his own amazing theme! Game Freak really out did themselves.

Tbh, I don't much like Wally's battle theme. It just sounds too hardcore for him and doesn't seem very fitting to his character in my opinion.
