The Fifth Generation's Music Awards! (Rd 1 Voting!)
 

Welcome to the Fifth Generation's Music Awards, or Music Showdown! Here, I'm all but curious to hear what is Pokecommunity's favourite Fifth Generation video game track! But since there's so many, each of them are going to be broken down into a couple of days!

There's no specific theme here, so, you can nominate ANY music from any music track from the Fifth Generation that you like!


How does this work?
So, each time that there's a Fifth Generation Music Awards Music Awards thread that pops up, all of you can nominate any one of your favourite tracks, or any other tracks that you think deserve the spotlight!

After the nomination period, the next phase will be for voting, in which, every track that has been nominated by someone will be up for votes! Everyone can vote to a minimum of two tracks that will win! In the end, whichever track has the most votes, will be the winner! And that's not all - there will be a featured thread representing that video game music for the voters! And the winning theme will be put on display for everyone to hear! So, vote carefully!


Schedule
This schedule is subject to change dependent on quantity of nominees and other circumstances.

Nominations will last December 13 - 16
Voting will last from December 17 - December 20
Winner will be declared on December 21st!


Nomination Form
Your nomination form must be done LIKE THIS. Any nominations that do not follow this guideline cannot compete!

Nominee: (The name of the soundtrack)
Link to Video: (You can link it, or post a embed video of it!)
Why: (Let the voters know WHY this track is the best there is for this theme! It can be as long as you want!)



Prizes
All participants will receive an award! The winning Music piece will be featured in a stickyied thread for discussion, and for easy listening convenience!

I love the music in fifth gen so much! This is so difficult, because there's so many great tracks to choose from. But, my nomination will go to:

Nominee: Burgh's Gym theme in Black & White 2
Link to Video:

Why:
It's catchy, well put together, and it does such a good job at setting the mood in the gym! It immediately stood out to me when I went into Burgh's gym and I could stay in there and listen to it for hours!

Hikamaru December 13th, 2015 7:05 AM

I guess I'll give this a shot too.

Nominee: Marlon's Gym - Black 2 & White 2
Link to video:

Why: It's so tranquil, captures the Water-type as well, and it's my fave Gym in the game as well. Definitely my fave of the Gym theme remixes in B2/W2 for sure.

GiovanniViridian December 13th, 2015 7:53 AM

Here goes:

Nominee: Battle VS. N Final Theme
Link to Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2GeWOMgxiE
Why: One of the most intense battles in the game and the soundtrack even made it more intense. Also you get to fight a legendary Pokemon too.

ShiningKami December 13th, 2015 9:53 AM

Ooh, this is tough! There are so many pieces that I could choose, but I think it has to go to this one:

Nominee: Village Bridge
Link to Video:

Why: Village Bridge is an oasis in between two difficult routes, and its theme is as relaxing as you'd expect; I've been known to leave my character standing on the bridge for several minutes at a time, just listening to the music. In keeping with many other pieces of music in Gen V, the theme to Village Bridge has four different parts that can be added to the melody: acoustic guitar, grass flute, beatbox, and vocals — making it the most complex example of this property in the game. The different parts are all lovely on their own, but putting them all together gives a beautiful theme that I could listen to for hours.

I should probably also mention that this gives Village Bridge the distinction of being the first and so far only vocal track in a main series Pokémon game. The lyrics, translated from Japanese, are as relaxing as the melody itself; melancholy and beautiful.

Quote:

I...am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.
I...am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.

I...am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.
I...am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls.

Gazing fixedly into the sapphire sea, I bemoan with shed tears,
as I yearn for the lovely gulls soaring above the blue harbour.

Nah December 13th, 2015 11:35 AM

Nominee: Emotion

Link to Video:


Why: I'm a sucker for nice piano (I think it's a piano anyway) pieces. It's beautiful and imo does a good job at capturing the essence of the title of the track.

Xherdan December 13th, 2015 1:10 PM

Nominee: Vs. Ghetsis from Black/White.

Link:

Why: This song is terrifying. I feel like it really captures Ghetsis' evil, just like BW2's version captures Ghetsis psychotic behavior. You know, aside from the "DENNIS" meme, this song is one of the scariest in the main series behind some stuff like the Pokemon Tower, the Hall of Origin or the Drought. Also, listen to it! It's awesome! And i want Ghetsis' trench coat.

Poké Bean December 13th, 2015 4:12 PM

Nominee: While Shooting in PokéStar Studios!

Link to Video:


Why: It just suits the scenario so well and is catchy so a pleasure to hear every time!

Sun December 16th, 2015 5:09 AM

Gimme what I neeeeeeeeeed!!

Nominee: Elesa's Gym Theme (B2W2)

Why: I would have picked Emotions, but I've got beaten. "We're going to see whose star shines brightest!" - Elesa. Elesa's Gym Theme has to be the most shining and upbeat Gym Theme, plug in your headphones and you'll see what I mean!

Dragon December 18th, 2015 8:27 AM

Hikamaru December 18th, 2015 8:30 AM

I'm voting for Emotion from Nah and Burgh's Gym (B2/W2) from Sopheria, because I love the more tranquil themes on the soundtrack, and they really fit their respective points of the game very well.

Oh, I forgot to say! Try to post the titles of the song's your voting for. Eg, in your case, it'll be:


Burgh's Gym theme in Black & White 2
Emotion

Right?

ShiningKami December 18th, 2015 11:30 AM

I'm going for Sun's choice, Elesa's Gym Theme (B2W2), and Nah's choice, Emotion. They're two of my favourite tracks in the series.

Nah December 18th, 2015 11:42 AM

One thing: are we not allowed to vote for the track we nominated or is that ok?

It's okay - since you're voting for at least two music tracks, you'd have to pick a different music track anyway~!

Sun December 18th, 2015 8:09 PM

Can we separate our votes in 2 posts?

Are we allowed to change our votes?

Sure, you can change your votes anytime; but why do you wanna separate your votes on two posts? Wouldn't it be easier if you post them both on one and edit? o:

I haven't made up my mind for my second vote. But I guess I can always cast my first vote and edit my post for the second vote. (:

I mean it's fine if you wanna make two posts too; just gotta watch out for double posting. :3

Poké Bean December 19th, 2015 12:16 AM

I'm gonna vote for...
While Shooting in PokéStar Studios!
Village Bridge

Saragraph December 19th, 2015 3:08 AM

I'm going to cast my votes on Emotion and While Shooting in PokéStar Studios!. Two very different tracks but both are super good at setting the mood they were intended for, and are just a pleasure to listen to on their own. Without playing the game I mean.

GiovanniViridian December 19th, 2015 4:39 AM

I vote for Elesa Gym Theme from B2W2 and Ghetsis Battle Theme from B/W.

Nah December 19th, 2015 4:50 AM

Guess I'll vote for Emotion and Village Bridge then

Sun December 20th, 2015 8:32 AM

This is one of the few times that I want to win so I'm voting for Elesa's Gym Theme (B2W2) and While Shooting in PokéStar Studios!, which I find myself humming a lot since I first heard it from the game.

Dragon December 20th, 2015 9:13 AM

I'm going to vote for...
Emotion & Battle VS. N Final Theme. Two very awesome music pieces!

Anywho, gang, today is the last day for voting, so, get em' in!

Dragon December 21st, 2015 9:01 PM

Looks like the winner, in a clear spree, is..

Emotion!



Thank you to all our voters; expect a new thread for discussion of this piece soon! :]

Hikamaru December 21st, 2015 10:34 PM

Congrats Nah, you deserved it with the choice of such an iconic track from the games. That said, can't wait what the next round will bring.
