RBY have nice music, but Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy has some really nice music. The music for the Electric Club/Grass Club in particular stands out.

If this is pokemon only, I really like the original Gold the best. 8-Bit FTW! 8D

Not pokemon, Zelda games. Just can't get enough of that music.

I liked Generation 1's music from RBY and GSC. I especially enjoyed the battle themes from both, and GSC also remixed RBY's music. The only one I never really liked from Gen. 1 was Lavender Town's theme, it creeped me out. Other than that, the first Pokémon songs were awesome!

I like the music from Gen III to IV. I listened to a bit of Gen V's but I haven't had a final opinion on it.

This is in Pokemon General Gaming, what else would we be talking about? Anyway, I personally like all the music, but in order:

II > I > III > V > IV

I gotta say, I almost always play with music off, cause I don't like the polifone sound...
But I must admit the RSE music is pretty good! :)

HGSS or XD. Unfortunately, I can not find an MP3 of the Phenac takeover music.

In my opinion,
1. RBY
2. GSC
3. HGSS
Didn't really like the others but if I had to rate them
4. DPPt
5. RSE

1) HG/SS
2) D/P and Pt
3) R/S/E

I just love HG and SSs' music. Can't explain why but it was soothing. Especially the music played in that grass patch in front of the safari zone.
I like DPPt's music as well. I'm not a music person but at times it seems like these 3 games used more woodwind instruments.

Well Pokémon music in general is nostalgic to me, especially from Gen III/RSE Because that's when I started playing Pokémon.

Pokemon XD and Colosseum. Miror B.'s theme for both is automatic win. The mainstream handheld games (3rd gen and later) are pretty equal in terms of music quality, IMO.

From what I've played? From best to worst:

GSC
RSE
DPPt
RBY

GSC's music was overall the best put together and even though it was 8bit, you could still visualize what instruments they were trying to simulate.
RSE's really good music was rare, but it was still there, like the Elite 4 music.
DPPt's music was irritating, childish, and a lot of it felt like music that was ripped from GSC.
RBY's music was just horrible. The champion theme was a random string of notes. Lavender town's theme was so out of harmony that it was rumored at one point to cause cancer or something.

Johto and Hoenn. There's some pretty nice songs in Isshu too.

I really liked gen III's music it was cheerful, and marching band-like. Other then that i liked gen IV's music, it was very following of the city's plot-line. I never listened to gen V's music yet but i have a feeling it's gonna be good.

I loved the 8bit music on GSC. I'm pretty fond of the music from other generations too.

Ruby and Sapphire for me, hands down. Especially that song right around Slateport city. HG/SS were pretty decent. I didn't like the Platinum soundtracks at all.

I usually turn off the sound too, but I really liked Heart Gold and Soul Silver's music. It had nostalgia mixed with actually good quality.
I loved all versions of Lavender Town's theme. It's eerie and repetitive, but also very beautiful and it suits the sadness of the town.

IV (Sinnoh) > IV (Kanto) <> IV (Johto) > III (Hoenn) > III (Kanto)

I quite like a lot of Hoenn's music, but some lets it down. Gen III Kanto is nice, but I prefer Gen IV Kanto over it, so for that reason, I put Hoenn over it.

Colosseum, but Mt Coronet's summit and route 44 from GSC are amazing.

I love Gen III's music, but Gen V's music is wonderful! I just love N's theme music!

Gen III has so far been the only generation where I actually put down my Game Boy and just enjoyed the music.

Whoever composed the music for the 3rd gen deserves a medal.
