I think the first 2 champion themes were cool and exciting.Especially Blue's.Lance's theme was kinda recycled but it is still cool.His theme is perfect for "Muk got real" times.I also liked Diantha's theme.That's my favorites,what's yours?

Cynthia's theme from D/P/Pt due to how intense it is and it works really well with how challenging the Champion battle is.

Lance's theme is easily my favorite, and the original is still one of my top 5 favorite themes across all of the games (in fact, 3 of my top 5 are from GSC). All of the post 4th-gen champion themes are good as they are, but don't quite match the intensity of the earlier ones, in my opinion.

Oh, and since this a topic that deals exclusively with in-game content, I'm going to move this over to Pokemon Gaming Central for you.

MOVED.

Diantha's theme is my favourite.

It is close between her and Cynthia, but I just love the upbeat instrumentals for Diantha's theme a little more.

Red/Lance (I still find it odd they use the same theme). I actually converted this track to a one-hour version and just left it running in the background...


I don't dislike any theme in particular, but there's something about Iris's that reminds me of Nyancat. It's electronic music and it really doesn't help that her crown looks like cat ears, her outfit reminds me of strawberry Poptarts, and there are rainbows and stars zipping by in the background.

I've always liked Lance/Red's theme a lot. Admittedly, it's the one I've listened to the most (I played with the volume on more often back then, and recently, I've gotten away from rechallenging the Elite Four because there are easier ways to train), but there's something about the start and the intensity of it that I've always liked.

It's tie down between Lance, Iris and Diatha, both theme are really enjoyable to listen and both of 2 region champs are intense that match perfectly, sorry Diatha, your just a cakewalk champion. All of these themes are beautiful, celestial and intensify. SUCH FABULOUS when hearing Diatha theme so eerie and alluring, Iris was way child tone them

To make you listen more to the theme you should check out this:

Cynthia's theme is my favourite, no contest. Not only is it a fantastically atmospheric piece by itself, there is such a great buildup to it - coming off that amazing little piano piece when you're talking to her, it feels even better when you get to battle her with that in the background.

...that, plus Cynthia is my favourite Champion, so I'll admit I'm more than a little biased in her favour. Blue and Lance both have great battle themes, but those win points with me mostly for the nostalgia factor, and the others are...lacking. Putting it nicely.

There is only one correct answer here and yall know what it is

VS Cynthia


You walk into her room and hear the theme from that, which sounds like you are talking to someone you know but has a hugely suspenseful sound. Then you hear the first 2.5 seconds of the battle theme, and you know muk is about to go down. The drum line that finishes the intro and runs throughout the theme sets the tone for the rest of the music. The repeated melodies that rise and fall just reinforce that Cynthia is a graceful but powerful opponent. The percussion running in the background give the melodies variety. ITs just great. And nostalgia from my first game. That too.

2nd place goes to the hidden track in XY, a remix of Blue's theme. To put it as all the cool kids seem to be doing, that muk is fire.

Iris's theme is an easy 3rd. the electronic bars fit her so well, and the bells are a nice touch.

Stephen (and Wallace) and Lance's themes just are a little... intense. Like, they do fit a final battle, but they don't portray the importance of what is going down as much as Cynthia's. Then again, I think all of the Hoenn themes are a little heavy...

Diantha's has the exact opposite problem, it sounds too light and magical for a final boss. Diantha is just too... I dunno... She doesn't make a good Champion when thrown next to the others on this list.

And Alder's theme is just lazy. It's terrible. Like, just looping his overworld theme would be better (his overworld theme is awesome).

As for which one motivated me the most, I'll say say Cynthia>Iris>Blue=Lance/Red=Stephen/Wallace=Diantha>>>>>>>Alder
