GB Sound
Well today i found out just wondering around the game, the GB Sound, god it brings back memories. Any of you guys use it as well? I think it was a great add-on to the game though.
|
I use it. I think that it's a great idea and I love hearing the music from my childhood.
I only wish that they didn't rewrite the music. It ruined the nostalgia for me when I heard several off key tunes and realized that it wasn't the same. |
I use it all the time mostly to mix up the battle themes whilst re-battling the gym leaders. It was a stroke of genius, frankly. :) I hated the HG/SS remix of the main Kanto Route theme (e.g. Route 2, 3, etc.), so I always turn it on then.
But I agree with Chaz, I really wish they didn't re-write the music because there are a few notes that just sound wrong (take the opening of the Johto wild battle theme and you'll see what I mean). I also wish that they had included the Gameboy "Flute" instrument as the original GSC used that a lot, so most of the tracks sound strange - take Pallet Town or Viridian Forest for example. The other problem I have with it is there's no Stereo option like the original games - those tunes sounded brilliant in Stereo. :( |
I much prefer the original Violet/ Olivine City over the remixed HGSS version (without the GB Player)
|
I love the GB Sounds addition.
|
Its epic!
I love going to the wifi plaza. |

*Global Terminal *Cerulean City (It used the Viridian/Pewter/Saffron theme in G/S/C) *Fuschia City (It used the Celadon theme in G/S/C. Now it uses the Cerulean theme, which is how it is in R/G/B/Y/FR/LG) *Route 24 & Route 25 (It used the generic Kanto route theme in G/S/C) *Route 47 & 48 (Didn't exist in G/S/C) Also there's some music choices that bother me. Here's some areas with incorrect music: *Mt. Moon - Theme used in R/G/B/Y: Generic cave theme - Theme used in G/S/C: Kanto cave theme - Theme used in FR/LG: Generic cave theme - Theme used in HG/SS: Johto cave theme (WTF!?!?!?) *Diglett's Cave - Theme used in R/G/B/Y: Viridian Forest theme - Theme used in G/S/C: Kanto cave theme - Theme used in FR/LG: Viridian Forest theme - Theme used in HG/SS: Kanto cave theme *Route 2 - Theme used in R/G/B/Y: Route 1 theme - Theme used in G/S/C: Viridian Forest theme - Theme used in FR/LG: Route 1 theme - Theme used in HG/SS: Generic Kanto Route theme (even though they made a remix of the Route 1 music -_-) *Seafoam Islands - Theme used in R/G/B/Y: Viridian Forest theme - Theme used in G/S/C: N/A - Theme used in FR/LG: Viridian Forest theme - Theme used in HG/SS: Ice Cave/Dark Cave theme (BUT THEY MADE A REMIX OF THE VIRIDIAN FOREST MUSIC -_-) *Oak's lab - Theme used in R/G/B/Y: Oak's theme - Theme used in G/S/C: Oak's theme - Theme used in FR/LG: Oak's theme - Theme used in HG/SS: Pallet Town theme (WTF!?!?!?) I wish they corrected those... I don't really care about Cerulean Cave however, since that theme was shared with the Celadon Team Rocket hideout in R/G/B/Y/FR/LG, which no longer exists by the time G/S/C/HG/SS takes place. |
Every Sunday I go on a nostalgia run.
I load up GB Sounds, and I turn on the PokeGear and tune the radio to the 1st station. They play Retro Music every Sunday... If you wanna hear a new song on the retro channel, simply change channels then change back. |
The first thing I do when I play is turn on GB Sounds, I love the nostalgia of it. I wish we were given it at the very beginning of the game, I wish FR/LG had it.

I like the GB Player, and have it on occasionally, but I keep it off mostly because the HGSS music is awesome.
|
The original music is WAY better. It just does bring back so many memories... Gold vresion was my first ever video game (besides playing my aunts' N64). I don't normally play woth my music on, but sometimes I randomly will if not at least have it one real quiet that it is "background" music. I used GB sonds a lot when I got it, loved it, but since I don't use sound that often I usually don't bother :/
|
I often have it on for most battles and in some areas, but I prefer more of the HG/SS versions of most of the area themes. Since I've not put Crystal down for more than a year in a row, the nostalgia effect isn't really the same for me. =P
But I did like its addition and think it was a very good move on Nintendo's part, even if they did mess up on a couple of tracks. |
I never turn it off i love hearing those old sounds.
*Flashback* |
I use the GB players every few days, when I'm bored. Although the Pokeathlon GB sounds aren't original D:
|
You should of got it from your mother at the start of the game :)
|
I like it,even though I've only used it about 2 times it still brings back old memories.

Seafoam Islands, Mt. Moon are one of the the biggest mistake... They should make another remix for Seafoam Islands... Slowpoke Well lost the Dark Cave Theme. :( Ecruteak/Cianwood have their own remix but why not Olivine/Violet. :( I still think Cerulean Cave should have its own theme.... Battle Theme: The Kanto legendaries should have their own theme or at least remix... Using the ordinary theme... makes the legendaries... ordinary... For some reason... I think the GB have different sounds than the old GSC tune... |
I don't really use it much - I hardly ever even turn up the sound on my DS. Besides that, the only music that I'd like to hear through it is the Continue screen music from G/S/C. (dun dun... dundunadun dun dun - I love that music :D)
|
Love GB sound, it's so classic.
|
GB sound brings back memories.. but some tracks are a bit different.
By the way, you can download the entire HeartGold & SoulSilver tracks here. It also contains the retro GB sounds |
The GB Sounds gadget, I think, is a great featur of HG/SS giving the players and the game a sense of the old G/S/C. I use it every now and then when I get bored of the default HG/SS themed music.
|
I always played with the BGA sound as soon as I got it. It's the best in my opinion. :D
|
I thought the GB Sounds was a cool addition to HG/SS. I never played G/S/C, but I got to hear the 8-bit tracks of HG/SS' music. The music was pretty good, though.
