Pokémon Sword and Shield Music Appreciation Thread

Really liking the music so far. Gym theme takes a bit to settle in but it’s good.

Gym theme just isn’t clicking with me. I don’t know, it’s definitely a step-up from whatever they were on making the Kalos Gym theme (with its similar techno elements), but it’s okay. I like the intensity; and the overall feel matches the stadium setting. It’ll grow on me, I’m sure.

The Wild Battle theme is good. I love the remixing of a bit of the Reshiram/Zekrom track, as I feel that’s one of the legendary themes that people don’t appreciate much. It’s a little all over the place, I’ll admit, and it’s not as good as 5, 6, and 7’s Wild Battle themes, but it’s decent.

What do u think of the trainer battle music?

What do u think of the trainer battle music?

It’s weird honestly. It just all seems...very underwhelming, with a very odd choice of instruments. After the themes in BW2-SM/USUM practically blew every prior trainer theme out of the water, this isn’t nearly as good.

I FULLY agree. I also think it's underwhelming
SM's trainer theme was amazing to be honest. This one is just... idk..

The new gym music makes me feel like I’m at an underground European/Middle Eastern nightclub lol...

I love it!

I'm digging the wild battle theme. It's very catchy. I'd need to hear more of the Trainer battle theme to form an opinion on that tbh.

The Gym Leader theme... yeah... this ain't it chief.

The trainer battle theme sounds decent enough I guess. I'll be frank and say that I haven't really liked any of the soundtracks from the core games since Gen V, so maybe I'm not impressed by the Shield and Sword battle theme simply because I haven't liked much of the recent game BGM in general.

Bede Battle Theme:

Would prefer hearing it without all the sound effects in the way.

Some1 recreated Marnie's music. It's beautiful

I really like it. It reminds me a lot of Hugh’s battle theme, which is one of my favorites; just wish it had a little more bass though. But I’ve been loving the music so far

Bede’s, Marnie’s, Sonia’s, and the Gym theme are my favorites so far. The music used in the Neutralizing Gas trailer (idk what else to call it) is also nice

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Marnie has a nice theme, really. It really points out her "bad girl" look.

 

[EmeraldArcanine]

The gym theme is really fitting imo. Sporty and energetic and whatnot. I like it.

 

[PrinceOfFacade]

Can we all agree that the Max Raid battle theme is f***ing bomb as hell?

I especially love the intro, it's both beautiful and sinister at the same time.

 

[UltimateNinja]

I am still looking forward to hear the Motostoke theme clear and in full length. I immidiately started loving it since the February reveal and now only three weeks are left until the games are out. Could very well end up being in my top 3 city themes.

 

[janejane6178]

Marnie's battle music is just beautiful !!
