In the last footage of Pokemon Sunday it was possible to hear a bit of music of the upcoming game:
-in the battle against zoroark I guess it's played wild pokemon music;
-in the starters' battle the trainer music(or maybe rival?);
-last you can hear hyun city music.

What do you think of the music up now? It's goood or bad?

For me the battles musics are very goood, and hyun city music is goood too, but maybe a bit too much calm for a city that big.

I can't remember teh battle music, but I do remember Hiun City's music being somewhat...calm. Really I'm not too picky on the music. I love DPPt and HG/SS's music though. It seems like the music gets better as each new pokemon gen/game comes out!
Like you, I didn't listen a lot to the music of my first games, to not dry the GBA battery, but now I've learned to appreciate them (thanks to lithium).
I also agree that music gets better in every game: HG/SS have wonderful themes, really well redone from the past version.

It sounds a lot better compared to the sassy R/S/E music, and maybe even on par or a tad better than the D/P/P music. Overall, I'd say I'm pleased.
Talking about R/S/E I wonder how the music will be in the (I hope) remakes. The themes were good, but GBA wasn't so good, in my opinion, in music, especially now compared to the DS. I'm really looking forward to hear them!

The new city's theme is very promising (it reminds me of a mix between G/S/C and R/S/E), but where in that video did the battle music play?

Idk, I think it did but I was too busy starring at the animated pokemon to notice. The music may not even be listened too that much because all the animation in the battle, and when just roaming around the region will catch your full attention. Game Freak is creating a new version of ADHD :D

For the in-game music, I'd like to hear different trainer music. Its always the same music, and same with leaders. How about some more indepented music?

^ That would take the soul out of the game. The music is extremely important in Pokemon games (and in any video game) and that would just ruin everything. I may have misunderstood you though. I get the impression that you want to have Dragonforce or some **** playing whilst you battle.

The Gym music and battle victory music should stay the same as it always has been. I'm hoping for some epic tunes in this generation.

HeartGold and SoulSilver had some of the best video game music I have ever heard in my life. They'll be a hard act for Black and White to follow up.

Right now, I've listened to Hiun City theme so many times now... It's not old yet.
Hell yes, it's an awesome theme. All we've heard is 20 seconds, yet in that short 1/3 of a minute, it screams "New York City!" with its jazzy big-city feel, and also has a port-like seaside sound to it as well! It also, somehow, retains the laid-back nature that makes all Pokémon area music awesome.

If the rest of the music is as good as Hiun City's, I'm going to love this game.

Well, for some reason I can't hear Team Fail's link, so:

Battle: *this one is supposedly fanmade, but it's soo good!*

I would LOVE to hear these two in the games. :cer_boogie:

Hiun City's music...amazing: http://www.pokemon-sp.jp/series/bw/#/area
I totally agree! After hearing this one on the official site, I thinked "it's perfect! It totally suit the atmosphere of a big city, and made it NewYork-ish.

I wholeheartedly agree. Music makes/breaks a game, and this definitely makes it.

From what I've heard I really like it :3 It's very reminiscent of RSE but in a good way; it gives off that new big exciting region to explore. For me, anyway. And in the starter video I love that battle theme!

It's still got that Pokemon vibe with some of my favorite elements. So far it sounds great~

It doesn't have the same instruments or sound quite the same as in the latest video, but this is just great. :D

And that fanmade battle theme by chainchomp...is just eargasmic. :D
