Favorite Music from Gen 5?
 
D-O-G-A-R-S -- DOGARS!!

... seriously though, Gen 5 had some of the best music as a whole, in my humble, totally-non-biased opinion. The music really got me pumped for battle, calm and thoughtful during the story, scared to death when fighting the main villain. I even bought the nearly 200-track album on iTunes for Black and White. This is excluding my nearly crying during the Gen 5 section of Symphonic Evolutions.

So how do you feel about the music? Do you love it? Does it not do anything for you? If you are fond of it what are some of your favorite tunes? My top ten would be (from least favorite to most:)

10. N's Castle
9. BATTLE: Legendary Pokemon
8. BATTLE: Team Plasma
7. Nimbasa City Theme
6. Route 6 Autumn
5. BATTLE: Ghetsis
4. Farwell (but not forever)
3. BATTLE: Cynthia
2. BATTLE: Reshiram/Dekrom/Kyurem (they're technically two songs, but one is a remix of the original)
1. BATTLE: Cheren and Bianca

I'm surprised that the trainer battle theme didn't made that list, because I really love that theme so much! I also loved the Nimbasa and Iccirus themes as well. Used to have the Iccirus theme as a ringtone for a while.

Oh trust me I was agonizing for about 20 minutes editing that list. I love the trainer battle, gym leader battle, and elite 4 battle themes as well. I mean with over 170 tracks on the album just picking 10 was so hard :(

Not to mention I had to keep my N-fan-girliing in check as well otherwise the list would have been all N themes and remixes all the time.

Iris' Champion theme, which is to say the least one of my favorite tracks in the series. That's a track some have been divided on and is considerably different from the other Champion themes prior (except maybe Alder's), but I don't mind that. That track rocks my face.

There are quite a few others I could name but for now that is one that always comes to mind for me.

Odyssey October 29th, 2014 7:46 PM

Opelucid City, both versions. Both took me a few times to warm up, but when they did, both of them have become two of my favourite songs of the Pokémon series. Although if I were forced to pick one, it'll be the White version of Opelucid City.

I also like Reshiram/Zekrom's Theme and Cobalion/Terrakion/Virizion's theme.

RetroFanatic October 29th, 2014 9:10 PM

Hmm. Lemme see if I can make a top 10 list. Actually, I think I'll just list my favorite songs in no particular order. Too much effort to edit a top 10 list. Note: This is Gen V music exclusively and none of the remakes of older themes.

Battle vs Colress
Battle vs Iris (The good part begins about 30 seconds in and continues until the song loops, then good part begins at the same spot again)
Battle vs Gym Leader
Battle vs Team Plasma (do I spot a pattern here? Either way, this theme kinda sounds like a sinister carnival theme)
Route 10 (Alas, your journey will soon come to an end. And this sound sounds like it too. Pokémon Black & White only)
N's Castle (Such an ominous and beatiful tune)
Encounter with Alder (Sort of western (wild west) and indian inspired. I like it)
Driftveil City
Nimbasa City
Ancient Castle
Ending Theme (Pokémon Black & White. Best ending theme in a pokémon game to date)

ELITE. FOUR. BATTLE. MUSIC.!

that is all.

pkmin3033 October 29th, 2014 11:05 PM

I didn't mind Gen V's music, but it didn't really hit any special notes for me when compared to earlier gens. The remixes were good, though - especially Cynthia's theme. I've always loved that theme, and I have to admit that BW did make it a lot better. The best thing about the PWT was being able to listen to updated versions of the classic themes, though.

Ghetsis' battle theme was hilariously and fantastically awkward, too. I kept half-expecting him to sprout wings and draw a sword. The DS wasn't quite equipped to do ominous vocals, I don't think.

I don't think it's so much the melodies that don't stick out to me as it the composition - these tracks sound a whole lot better to me in 8-bit, especially the Elite Four theme. Guess I'm just old-fashioned that way. xD

SkorXX October 30th, 2014 2:55 AM

N's Farewell, Just the feels, I wish there was a remake of this! We need Gen 5 remakes soon lol! I also liked Relic Song, Meloetta's Song. I liked Iris's Theme too.

Judge Mandolore Shepard October 30th, 2014 6:10 AM

When it comes to music from 5th gen, I have one answer for that. My favorite music from 5th gen is all of the battle music.

AtecainCorp. October 30th, 2014 11:00 AM

My three Best Pokemon Music from BW and B2W2

1. Battle with Neo Team Plasma
2. Driftveil City
3. Emotions <When Father want Bianca go back to home>

Nah October 30th, 2014 12:50 PM

What's this DOGARS thing you're talking about?

Anyway, Gen 5 has a lot of music I like, some of them being:

-Electrifying Black Yin! VS Zekrom
-Final N Battle
-Route 10
-DENNIS DENNIS DENNISGhetsis's Battle Theme (Black2/White2)
-Village Bridge (w/ all instruments+that vocal ****)
-PokeStar Studios: Theme of Confrontation

Plus all the Champion remixes at the PWT and a few other things.

DOGARS!! http://youtu.be/8T6dvEuV7hk hehe in the English version they just say pokemon :)

pkmin3033 October 30th, 2014 1:32 PM

To be honest, I prefer the English version of that track...it's cuter. It was quite clever that parts of it got cut off as you beat her band members too...made me sorry I beat them. xD

Nakasu October 30th, 2014 7:55 PM

My favorite track of BW/2 would have to be Champion Iris's theme. Really one of the best Champion themes in Pokemon. I really loved the wild battle themes, the trainer battle themes I didn't mind much. But that Neo Team Plasma theme though, it was too epic. very unexpeted too. Gotta love the drum solo. I also loved all of the Gym and Champion remixes for the Pokemon World Tournament. The ending theme for B/W is amazing too! ^^

Nakala Pri October 31st, 2014 4:17 AM

Favourite track was in Driftveil City. :P I really like any hint of oriental tunes in music and it was pretty cool, made me think of bowing Mienfoo and Hitmonlee in a kimono. XD

Second favourite track is Ghetsis's theme, it's so cool and dark... mysterious... N's is cool but this one sends shivers, y'know?

Necrum November 1st, 2014 11:34 AM

My favorites are the Neo Plasma Battle theme and the Remade Ghetsis theme in B2W2. But all around gen 5 had far superior music to the previous gen (not counting Remakes)

Trickori November 1st, 2014 5:36 PM

Does anyone else feel like based on the music style used for Team Plasma, they should have been in Zoot-suits and flapper dresses rather than their Templar outfits?

ThatChickWithNoLife November 1st, 2014 7:29 PM

By far, N's Farewell. In my opinion, it's one of the saddest themes (in the best way!) in video game history. So heart-wrenching and beautiful, I tear up every time I hear it. So beautiful!!!!

Sydian November 2nd, 2014 6:08 PM

I love gen 5 music. I think it's some of the best in the series! Here are my top 5, though they're in no particular order:

- Legendary Battle (trios, Victini)
- Ghestsis Battle BW2
- Neo Team Plasma Battle
- Trainer Battle
- Virbank City

I also think they did a great job with all the town music in these games. It made them really memorable. In fact, I had to think about Virbank's name for about 5 minutes because I couldn't remember the name, only the music, haha.

SapphireMillennium November 9th, 2014 2:27 PM

I actually liked a lot of the music from these games. My favorites include:

Trainer Battle
Gym Leader Battle
N Battle (Final)
Ghetsis Battle
Elite Four Battle
Opening Theme
N's Castle
N's Castle Bridge (Awesome!)
Iris's Champion Battle

The theme of the original Team Plasma from Black and White was just glorious in my opinion :)

Starry Windy November 12th, 2014 11:15 PM

Several of my favorite songs in Gen 5 are:

N's theme in Black 2 and White 2
Cynthia's remixed theme
The climax part of the Gym Leader battle (when the Gym Leader has one last Pokémon)

Hikamaru November 13th, 2014 5:51 AM

My faves have to be the Team Plasma Grunt battle, Ghetsis (DENNIS!!!), N's Farewell, Unwavering Emotions (the one which plays in the scene with Bianca and her dad in Nimbasa City) and the Celestial/Dragonspiral Tower theme.

All in all, this generation had the most epic music of any Pokemon game to date.

Necrum November 14th, 2014 9:12 AM

They're saying Ghetsis, come on guys

Xela November 14th, 2014 9:40 AM

Colress theme, Plasma Grunt battle theme and Ghetsis theme. All of them have something distinctive to them that I really like. For example how modern-ish (I feel like I'm using this word in all of my gen 5 posts) Colress sounds like, how the Plasma Grunt one is a remix of the old one but somehow managed to be way more upbeat and Ghetsis is just GHETSIS, GHETSIS.. if you catch my drift.

But it's funnier to imagine that they're chanting "DENNIS" or something else instead.....

And slight tangent, is Ghetsis pronounced "get-sis", "get-iss", or some other way? Because sometimes I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it right or not.

They pronounce it Get-sis in the anime. So I'm gonna go with that. I'm pretty sure the chanting in his theme is simulated rather than an actual person saying it.
