The title screen music sounds so good... A bit too good. Streamed, perhaps? It did give me the chills when I listened to it with my headphones. (The track does not show up when you try to extract the track using a SSEQ extraction tool or player.)

Also loving Aspertia and Hue (both themes) xD

Ooh this sounds like a certain remix.

p amazing really. If only the rest of the music was along these lines!

Jellicent♀ June 23rd, 2012 9:56 AM

Omg. I love Shizui's Gym theme. It's so awesome! So relaxing, too. Fits vey nicely in his gym.

I love Iris' battle music, it fits perfectly with her battle background and room. I haven't really listened to much of the music yet though, I love the Hoenn Trainer battle music, and the Hoenn Champion music. :P

Kanto_Johto June 23rd, 2012 10:24 AM

Just listened to Elesa's music. The intro sounds like music from a certain type of film genre.....the "give me what I neeeeeeeeeddd" part doesn't help either.

The rest just sounds a bit weird. The inclusion of vocals is particularly out of character for a Pokemon game. I will admit that some of it is quite catchy though.

Edit: Just realised that all of the gym leaders have their own personalised music. I love Shizui's version of the theme. Is it just me or does the rival theme sound like something out of Pokemon TCG for the Game Boy?

Also, I just stumbled across this:

Spoiler:

I nostalgia'd hard.

I love all of the Pokémon songs. I'll love all of them. Which one's my favorite? That's the thrill of the listening!

I assume it's gonna be one of the legendary ones, since I've always loved their mysterious yet bluntly obvious and badass style and melody to them. Eg Regis and Uxie, Mespirit, and Azelf's theme. I doubt that Kyurem's (both formes, I hope) will be any different...unless Game Freak slacks off, which they sure haven't done with this game, it seems!!

Also can we please have some links? That'd be nice imo since i dunno where you're getting all your music.

And XanderO I hope this post is okay with you because I honestly can't be bothered to search on Youtube for an hour to find 33 secs of a song.

Ascaaai

I was right about all these songs, but the only problem is that it sounds like someone found out about the stereo option. Just too much back-and-forth between left and right. It's not a problem for those who just listen from five inches away, but I have a tendency to put on earphones every damn time I need to listen to music. It hurts, Game Freak. Do something about it.

I was under the impression that the music has been in stereo since the beginning of Gen IV. I know that HGSS and BW were most definitely in stereo.

But I know what you mean about certain passages of instrumentation sliding from one ear to the other. However, the actual games will provide much better audio quality than the tracks that have been ripped and uploaded to youtube. Usually music uploaded onto youtube is over-compressed.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 23rd, 2012 2:23 PM

^ That gives me hope that the Hoenn and Sinnoh gym themes will sound more true to the original.
I also thought they were in stereo since way back...

tootlerocks June 23rd, 2012 4:08 PM

I've been looking forward to this soundtrack for ages and I must say I'm very impressed. Ghetsis' battle theme in particular is much improved from BW imo. I think in BW it just seemed sort of without direction at times, just long bits with timpanis and not much else. Don't get me wrong, the BW one does still sound pretty cool, ominous and suspenseful sort of thing, but at times a bit... empty, if you know what I mean.
In BW2 though, it has more of an urgent, desperate feel, and actually sounds more like there's a tune behind it. That's the sort of thing I tend to like in battle themes, though I'm probably more accustomed to Gen III themes than normal...
But on a more positive note, Game Freak WAY outdid themselves in the World Tournie battle themes... ah nostalgia. And Achroma's battle theme sounds pretty cool too.

Zayphora June 23rd, 2012 4:19 PM

Elesa's theme is just....? How is this Pokemon? I don't get it....it sounds bizarrely like Lady Gaga....? Where is Game Freak going? But it's cool. It's certainly unique! ;D

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 23rd, 2012 4:40 PM

Elesa's theme is fine imo, for me it's Akuroma's theme that's strange...sounds like eerie techno beeps...

Zayphora June 23rd, 2012 5:13 PM

Yeah, I know. It is sort of a runway song thing. TBH, I don't not like it. It just surprised me that Pokemon would do something with lyrics like this.

How isn't it Pokemon? I think it's amazing and very fitting to her character! Though I don't really hear the similarities between it and Lady Gaga...

Naturally, I prefer Skyla's gym theme. I saw a comment on Youtube saying that it sounds like Legend of Zelda, and I can totally hear it. These gym themes are a pleasant surprise for me and add so much more to my opinion of the music in this game, which was already pretty high!

Omg. All the music. I can't even. It's my childhood in song form~

Hoenn's Champion/Gym Leader music is sure changed from R/S/E. It's more in style with B/W now, though, so I can't really complain about it. Kanto Gym Leader Theme = LOVE. Johto Gym Leader Theme = LOVE. Johto Champion/Red Theme = LOVE. btw, is it true that Red is going to be in the World Tournament? This seems a little far-fetched.

@Pokemon w/lyrics: You know, the Village Bridge had music with vocals. And it was fantastic, so I guess they thought they'd try it with some other songs.

Kanto_Johto June 23rd, 2012 6:33 PM

^ To the above: It is true, Red has been confirmed to be making an appearance in the Pokemon World Tournament.

Yeah, I found Burgh's gym theme to be calming too. It sounds almost psychedelic in nature (probably a reference to his love for art).

All five of the Gym Leaders/Elite Four themes (RBY/GSC/RSE/DPPt/BW):
Spoiler:


Five Champion themes and Iris' Champion theme (Blue/Lance and Red/Steven and Wallace/Cynthia/Alder/Iris):
Spoiler:


I'm amazed. This is probably one of the best things to have come out of these games. Brings back fond memories.

I screamed. I sang and danced to all of these songs and my family just watched
( hard to love pokemon while everyone else doesnt care) the techno is increidible


Now to listen to the rest of the music im gonna fangasm so much

...This is the best game ever. Everyone else go home.

Looked up Burgh's gym theme. didn't listen to it earlier on account of dying over nostalgia It does sound really nice, nice and nature-y. I like!

Listened to Elesa's theme too. What is this, TWEWY? And Skyla's reminds me of LoZ. Homika's is awesome, hope they keep that in the US release.

Aquarius1997 June 23rd, 2012 9:34 PM

JUST TAKE IT GAMEFREAK!!!! TAKE ALL MY MONEY !!!
OH MY GAWD O_o gamefreak is going in the right direction
The music is not good its perfect the music fits them all perfectly and Ghetsis and Achroma music was too die 4 X_x

How could you all hate Elesas music GF is just getting more realistic with pokemon and we all know that if that song was real a modeling agency WOULD play it

o/> Are you ready?o/>

YES ELESA YES<33333

That's what I thought when I heard it, but I like it.

Also Drayden's music sounds epic!
The best is proably Drayden's but I have yet to hear Cheren, Burgh (in a clear video), and Shizui's.

Aspertia City's theme was my fave.

MY EARS WHYYY

Anyway, I love the remixes of both Blue's battle and Red/Lance's. They are fantastic.

Trying not to spoil any of the other pieces so they remain a surprise.

火岩隊 June 24th, 2012 5:21 AM

The town BGMs are sounding very Sinnoh-esque in my opinion with B2W2.

Especially Virbank City's theme, but maybe its just because I've been played too much Platinum lately.

Nonetheless, I love the soundtrack.

Cid June 24th, 2012 9:21 AM

From that music bit in Jellicent's sig, I could say I adore Shizui's Gym track. Definitely one of my favourite renditions of the Gym theme. It's just so chill and relaxing. Which is really fitting for the Water-type theme of the Gym, and it kind of gives a tropical or beach vibe. :)

I generally love the soundtrack so far, though! Still new to the vocals because my only experience with that would be Ghetsis' Theme from BW but I think I'll manage.

Right!? It's perfect for a Water-type gym!

The soundtrack is pretty amazing. I'm loving all of the themes, actually. I love the new Gym Battle theme, love Ghetsis', love Iris'; they're just all amazing.
