Lol, I find myself just leaving the game in one window and just listening to the OST as I do other stuff.

Haha, I did that too, but my emulator takes up so much memory on my poor little laptop that it kinda makes everything else lag :x. But that's okay, I can just use the soundtrack or youtube :)

^Youtube is my number one place for listening to the new soundtrack as well as the original. Luckily I don't have much lag on my computer so I get to hear it all without much interruption. Regardless, I love the new music, but when I listen more to the original soundtrack it just takes me back. I expect the samething to happen in the next ten or so years when I decide to replay the new soundtrack on Youtube and then get caught up in the good days when I play my main SoulSilver game.

I've fallen in love with the Viridian Forest Music..
It's a lovely piece.
I can't really explain it.
It's really relaxing..
Other Pieces I've fallen in love with are National Park and Dark Cave/Ice Path.
I absolutely love this game's soundtrack. They did such a great job with it.

I just noticed now that the three dogs all have different BGMs.
Derp.

Love the Entei version the best, especially the part with the piano.

True that, sister. I've only heard a bit but I liked it. I hope Gamefreak DOES release an official soundtrack soon.

I love the beginning of Cherrygrove, Ecruteak, Azalea. :D
For the Lavender Town... I got goosebumps when I first heard it, but later I loved it

Anyway... Do anybody here play HG/SS on Desmume emulator? You can rip the music very easily with the WAV Record option, but the file size is a bit too high (1411kbps) However, it sounds exactly the same as if it were in the game :), sometimes even better quality.
This is where you use an MP3 encoder to make it much smaller without losing much quality.

Music is 100% perfect. Although I like the idea of putting in a key item to change the soundtrack back to the original chiptunes version! :)

Listening to the music while playing the game in front of you gives you a different opinion on the music as opposed to listening to it on youtube.

Sounds much better in-game.

The GB Player really kicked it up a notch for HeartGold and SoulSilver's sountrack. It brought back the original tunes, though some say wityh slight alteration. However, it only falls in that players can only obtain it later within the game rather than near beginning or mid-gameplay [other than hacking of course]. Regardless, a nice extra for the new soundtrack, that's for sure.

This is true, listening to a soundtrack, but not physically playing the game with the music around can make a difference in how one defines how well a sountrack may be. For others however, this can be said differently, but I still say before discriminating the new soundtrack it is better off to play the game with the music to determine how well it was done remixed, and retuned in the remake.

Might as well chip in on this discussion.

Alright, for the most part, I like what they did with these. They are the best-sounding songs ever played on a video game, surpassed only by DN3D and Megaman X4 in my opinion. The champion music sounds godlike, the background song for the road to victory road was worthy of an award, and the Team Rocket battle theme was headbangable. A vast majority of the time, they used instruments that they were obviously trying to emulate in the Generation II games (A prime example being the chimes in the rival music).

However, there are some things that, if I had the power to change, I would change without a second thought.

Do you remember when you first fought a Kanto gym leader on GSC? Your first thoughts were "Holy smokes, that sounds awesome!". I'm afraid people new to HG/SS will say "I think I hear something awesome in the background!" For some reason beyond my understanding, they put various percussion and strange noises in the intro, as if they were trying to sweep the best part of the song under the rug. I would have toned these down quite a bit.

Remember those awesome chimes in the rival song I was talking about? Well, the worst part comes directly afterwards. All of the sudden, they start playing this vibraphone accompanied by incessant, unfitting drums. The best human-pronouncable words I can use to describe it is "babyish deedlybop ********". I would have rearanged the drum beats to something that fit the rythm of the song.

I'm sure the person who wrote the remixes would have changed this too, as it is something that annoys anybody who composes software-synthesized music. Sometimes notes that are close together not only change tone, but also timber. This is particularly noticable with the sitars used in various songs like the E4 music. Of course, that's a hardware problem and the scorer is absolutely powerless when it comes to resolving problems like that.

Anyway, I'm not going to go into all the details, but the only time I found I liked the originals better than the remixes was the Kanto leader music and the Goldenrod music. And before somebody like poliwagged comes in, I don't like them because they're older, I like them because they sound better. :)

I was underwhelmed by the sample quality and some of the instrumentation in the game, honestly.

I believe I've been spoiled by some of the examples of really great music the DS can output.

I really like the remade music. My personal favourites were the Rival Battles, Team Rocket Battle theme and champion Lance/Red battle music. I also loved the idea of the GB player in the game <3

my most favorite soundtrack from the game it route 3,4,5 (and other routes with the same music) from kanto. I was fillippin out and stuff because in the original G/S they only used 2/3 of the whole theme

but now in HG/SS they used the full them! well you know what i mean. They did the FR/LG one (sorta) with the G/S twist in the beginning. Out of all the generations this route is in, i favor the HG/SS one. and im really impressed with all the other soundtracks, well besides goldenrod although its catchy after awhile.
I really love the new route music as well. If you listen to those on the GB player it really sounds like they were on the original gamese.

Oh lord, the Safari Zone music with vocals is absolutely crazy!
I guess this limited time DL song covers for the lack of remix tracks in the OST.

Don't bump threads over a month old, please.

Might leave the thread open though as I imagine discussions on the music will increase pretty soon.

Hmm...


You know, my favorite track of all of the Pokemon games was "Azalea Town"

The reason being is that it always hits me with a wave of nostalgia when I hear it. But I'm not quite sure I like the new remakes. I mean, it's nice how they kept the whole 8-bit music on the radio, but still it's just that...

My first game (Or at least the first that I played) was Pokemon Gold. That is my Pokemon game. In fact, it's one of the reasons I feel Awkward when I'm playing Koolboyman's "Pokemon Prism" because I'm so used to seeing the Tiles in a specific map organization. The other reason it makes me Awkward... well Koolboyman will have to message me for that.

The point is is that we all have a track we love, that makes us think when we listen to it "Pokemon"

For me that track is "Azalea Town"

I loved the old music, and I hope I can learn to love the new music.

I wanted to end this note on the fact that I once cried listening to Azalea Town. That's how much I love it.

I wish you all the best of luck,

-ChrisTom
