Do you turn the music on or off when you play Pokémon games?

[joehat]

I used to love the music, but now just play my own stuff.

Metallica, Dragonforce, Megadeth, Rage Against the Machine, Shinedown, Godsmack, Kottonmouth Kings, etc.

Not exactly your everyday Pokemon playlist ahah.

And woooooo to the person who mentioned Tech N9ne! An awesome group not many people I've met know about.

My big battle song would have to be "Get Back" by Ludacris featuring Sum 41. It just seems to fit.

I keep the music off. It's not that I don't like the music, it's just that I don't wanna waste the battery. I hate charging my stuff.

 

[SparklingMistral]

I tend to keep it halfway up unless I'm listening to music or in a room with a bunch of people. Or when my parents are trying to sleep.

 

[>Feelings<]

Since I don't play when other people are around me, I always keep the music on, except when I'm training in the wild.

I keep the game music off, but I'll turn it on every now and again when a Pokemon is evolving and I want to hear it for whatever reason.

I either have the TV on for background noise, or listen to music on my laptop. There really isn't any certain music I listen to. It's mainly whatever band I'm in the mood for at the time, though "Comfort Eagle" and "The Distance" by Cake are some of my favorites for gym battles/Elite 4.

I listen to remakes of some of the best music while playing. I got alot of the music from PokeRemixStudio on Youtube. If Pokemon music was like THAT in the games, profits would increase 10 fold.

 

[funny1always]

i never turn on the music. when you ride the bike thing :p the music is annoying so i listend to my itunes

 

[kissing. raindrops]

The music is usually on for me. I guess I just like it better that way.

 

[invisible-chan]

For the old games, I leave it on as loud as possible unless I'm supposed to be asleep/am not supposed to be playing for some reason. For the newer games, I'll listen to it the first time, and when I get sick of it I'll turn it down and play in silence of to iTunes. I really hate the new game music. They killed the epic wild Pokémon music and the Pokémon Center music. It used to be awesome, but now it's like some lame singers who add in superfluous trills instead of singing the damn Star-Spangled Banner.

 

[Evilyn]

No, I turn it off and listen to the music on my mp3 instead.

The music on the games ROCK and to hear the ones from Red/Blue give a nostalgic feel to it! How can anyone hate the music???

I think exactly like this but I would like to add its no really nostalgic when you play the game for the first time but it gives such a memorable happy feeling that then makes it nostalgic hearing it the future!

It depends on where I'm doing it and what else I'm doing at the moment. If I am in a public place, I usually tend to turn the volume off, heh. Likewise, I tend to play my DS while watching televsion sometimes, in which case I turn the sound off as well.

But when I'm concentrating solely on Pokemon, I crank the sound all the way up. This is especially true when I'm battling over WiFi. ^_^

When I'm playing on a handheld version, I always have the in game music on. When I have the emulator playing the games however, I play some rockin' tunes to heighten the mood of grinding. (Rocky theme anyone?)

I would actually do something like this but I only used to play with an emulator once, ages ago, but I go on to try out my hack when I do ever get the feel to hack ;C

 

[You're Gonna Go Far Kid!]

I take in the music on my first playthrough but afterwords i'll listen to my ipod.
Usually intense music like Techno or Punk...

[RaikaCastillo]

It depends. I sometimes turn down the more boring tunes if I hear something more interesting in the other room. I also turn it off it the tune is really repetitive such as on the menu in the PMD games. For the most part, though, I keep it on.

 

[~Rose-quartz Iatos]

I almost always have it on at a reasonable volume, it's one of the only games where I don't use headphones.

 

[Circus.]

I don't usually have it on, I listen to my iPod.
On VBA I definitely turn it off since the game loads much faster.

 

[kingofjokers]

well sometimes when i have a podcast or i just put on the radio and when i have none i max up the volume on ds
