GB Sounds!
 
A great little nifty feature in HG/SS was the GB sounds key item! For those of you who never played the remakes of gold and silver, or just completely missed the item, (because it WAS quite out the way) it was a item that once activated, replaced all the remixed soundtrack with the original 8 bit theme... Now, my only problem with this item? It was post game content. So many themes (Team Rockets) was pretty much impossible to play in 8 bit, unless you activated it and then did the Giovanni event...

So, the point of this topic, who else would like to see this item return for ORAS? Call it GBA sounds!! :D
But let us have access to it early into the game! Maybe build it into the Pokenav? What do you guys and gals think?

Im suprisedq noone ever thought of this!
I mean we're all like we want trupmets give us trumpets.

GBA SOUNDS FOR ORS!

ggctuk May 20th, 2014 11:28 PM

It'd be "GBA Sounds" though. And at least this time around they could do it 'right' - they'll obviously be using streamed music again for the main music and they must have streamed versions of the RSE music.

Cerberus87 May 20th, 2014 11:41 PM

GB Sounds in Hoenn means trumpets, so no.

Salzorrah May 21st, 2014 12:22 AM

Well I kinda like having an ingame item listening to the nostalgic tunes of RSE. They could add it as a feature for the PokeNav perhaps and like there is an interface wherein you can choose and listen to the different tunes :)

I have a bad feeling that they may not include this item for these remakes, as much as I would love this. ;(

RedJ May 21st, 2014 4:11 PM

I'll need to dig for the link, but I saw an interview not long ago saying that the only reason they included GB sounds in HG/SS was because Gold and Silver never got an official soundtrack release. They still could include it, but with that in mind I don't think it's likely that they will.

EDIT: Found it.

Once players finished Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver they were able to unlock the music from the original games, why haven't you included this option or unlock in later releases?

The original Gold and Silver titles never actually got a soundtrack, and that was something the sound team kind of regretted. Red and Blue, Ruby and Sapphire, and others all had soundtracks, but there wasn't a good place to hear the original Gold and Silver tracks, so it was really a special case that the sound team put them in as a bonus for HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Well that kinda stinks tho. Still, there is still a possibility GF would add the RSE soundtracks back into ORAS.

Please Gamefreak, add GBA sounds for nostalgia's sake, WE OFFER YOU OUR MONEY!
It wouldn't help since there's already an RSE soundtrack on iTunes, that would mean more money for them if they didn't add GBA sounds, which they really want.

Cerberus87 May 22nd, 2014 3:36 AM

GB Sounds in HGSS feature additional tracks which didn't exist in the original games, too.

I personally think it would be a waste of space. The GBA doesn't sound bad enough to be nostalgic IMO. :P Besides, considering the GBA sounds aren't that bad, would they sound much different from the remixed tunes?

Oblivion Wing May 22nd, 2014 4:46 AM

I really hope they do this and hopefully ubtainable the same way it was as for HGSS. :-)

GBA sounds, sounds amazing, but...

The whole "you couldn't here the rocket's theme in 8bit"

You could. I forget what day, but the radio station plays 8bit theme's on it's "retro" day.

But yea, I'd love a GBA sounds, as long as the Trumpets are still glorious.

Apollo May 22nd, 2014 7:11 AM

GBA sounds incorporated in the PokeNav seems like a cool idea. :D I wouldn't imagine the remixed music's sounds be too different from the originals, I'd still probably use it when it makes the cut for nostalgia. :) Reading the previous posts, I'm starting to have my doubts on whether this will actually make it, but I could survive the game without it. I'm really going to miss the original music though

DarkPoke001 May 22nd, 2014 3:16 PM

would it not be 'GBA' sounds? ...
Anways, i think this would be a FANTASTIC idea, GB sounds on HG/SS brought such a feeling of nostalgia and it was great!

Here's hoping OR/AS have something similar :)

Azar May 22nd, 2014 6:26 PM

GBA sound! This is something cool. With this item, I'll remember great pieces of music that I listened in RSE version. It can be an option for GameFreak, so... Why not? Good idea!

PS: I played HG/SS, but I didn't find this item. I need to search it.

"HoneyClaws" May 23rd, 2014 5:04 PM

For the attacks and fainting sound effects as well definetly.

Pepperton May 23rd, 2014 6:53 PM

That'd be cool, but I would like it more if they tried remixing the original RSE tunes for ORAS to make them sound new and modern. Then, they could add in this little mechanic post-game, as it was done in HGSS. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not partial to the old tunes or the new ones. More than half the time my game is muted anyway, so either way, it won't make much of a difference for me. n__n;

Or if you managed to find a way to get GB Sounds early.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 24th, 2014 10:08 AM

Maybe Norman or the mother can give it to the player at some point.

I also would like it if they added in Kanto sound, Johto sound, Sinnoh sound, Unova sound, and Kalos sound for post game. For Sinnoh's it could be the starting route (301). Unova's could be Unova's route 10 (irc that's the destroyed route). Kanto's could be Pallet town. Johto's could be Ecruteak city. Kalos' could be Lumiose city's.

It's impossible, you need 16 badges.

No Rocket Grunts are around at that point.

I wasn't speaking... legitimately. If you 'unlock' it early, the Rocket sounds even work in Radio Tower.

So they had a rocket version of it...did they plan to have it be obtainable early? Or is it a crazy prepared thing...or simply that GB sounds simply remixes all of the sound in the game regardless...might be the latter.

On topic: It'll be nice if they had GBA add more trumpets if they do plan on cutting out the trumpets and french horns in the updated music...

ggctuk May 26th, 2014 12:20 AM

The Rocket BGM does glitch a little in Radio Tower but I can't remember how exactly. Something to do with it playing instead of a track that is supposed to IIRC. Maybe they couldn't fix that glitch in time?

Altairis May 26th, 2014 12:58 AM

I would really like it, but hey, if they have to scrap it because they want to add something else, be my guest! It would be nice and all but I won't be upset if it's not included.
