    So, pronunciation aside, let's talk about the battle themes in Black and White. There certainly are plenty of them, ranging from the basic wild Pokemon battle to themes for every different battle with N. Not to mention there was the introduction of the low health theme, incorporating the infamous beeping with a new song for double the ominousness.

    Discuss:
    -Your favorite theme
    -The repeat value of the songs (i.e. whether you get tired of any of them)
    -The amount of battle themes in this generation

    For reference, here are links to most of the themes:
    -Wild Battle Theme
    -In a Pinch
    -Shaking Grass Wild Battle Theme
    -Trainer Battle Theme
    -Battle Subway Trainer Battle
    -Team Plasma Battle Theme
    -Gym Leader Battle Theme
    -Gym Leader (Final Pokemon) Theme
    -Legendary Battle Theme (2)
    -Elite 4 Battle Theme
    -Cynthia Battle Theme
    -Alder Battle Theme
    -Rival Battle Theme
    -Ghetsis Battle Theme
    -N Battle Theme (2, Final)
    -Plus anything I missed. :<
     
    -My favorite battle themes are the regular trainer battle theme, all 3 of N's battle themes, the gym leader battle theme, the rival battle theme and the Elite 4 battle theme.
    -I get tired of the regular wild Pokemon theme because I hear it too much. However, I don't mind the special wild Pokemon theme because I don't hear it too often.
     
    Personally, I love all the battle music. When I heard the actual wild battle music, I thought it was pretty legendary - well, legendary in the sense of reminding me of the theme from Entei, etc, of HGSS. Anyway! When I heard the actual legendary theme, God it was awesome. In fact, it's why I didn't catch Thundurus for so long, whereas Victini didn't really suit the legendary theme, so I didn't mind catching it straight away. Tbh the legendary battle music sounds kinda like something you'd expect them to play for a nightclub (not that I've been, but the radio plays that type of music sometimes). Anyway, the Red HP theme (I prefer that to "In a Pinch") idk my thoughts about it. At first everyone said it was amazing but I dunno, it's okay, but annoying when I just wanna hear the battle theme. Ooh and I love the trainer battle music too, it sounds awesome.

    Shaking grass is also awesome. :D in fact, it's probably the most exciting of all the ~basic~ battle themes aka not legendary or story ones. Gym leaders final theme is a nice remix of the original song. I'm disappointed it's only there though, and not the actual gym one. >__>; In fact, I can't remember the actual gym one, owell. I also like how the rival theme is creative, as well as N's. They're both pretty awesome. Subway was awesome too when I first heard it. Oh yeesss and Plasma's, as your post says. I love hearing Plasma's, it's so so so awesome!!! And Elite Four is also greattt.

    In fact, this generation has basically killed all other generations in battle themes, really. Oh and replay value? I'd replay any of these songs any day - in fact, a few I literally do replay everyday. XD

    Gunna mention Ghetsis' finally on another note, personally, I'm disappointed I didn't notice it saying "Dennis" when playing through.
     
    I didn't answer myself, but I wanted to add something that I loved about battle themes.

    The theme for when a Gym Leader has their last Pokemon makes me really happy. I listened to it, knew it was super familiar, couldn't figure out why. It took me a while to figure out that it was a remix of the opening theme of R/B/G, and when I found out I was very pleasantly surprised.
     
    What about the E4 music? It sounds a lot like Hoenn's E4.

    R/S/E used to be the only games with different music for the E4, too.
     
    I think my favourite battle theme is the theme for the battle against Cheren and Bianca. So upbeat, and yet quirky and well-paced. I think I might find myself humming it...
     
    Lol! So that's where Dennis came from xD It's a nice tune though. I really like Alder's hippie theme at the route after Nimbasa City and Village Bridge too.
     
    Plasma and the legendary Pokemon themes have to be my favorite!

    I actually loved all the songs in the game, whether it be battle or just route 10. However, the constant change in music prevented me from hating all the songs by the time I reached the Elite 4. Overall the music in the game was amazing and they did a great job.
     
    Sorry but the "In A Pinch" theme had me laughing so hard for a while. I just love how everyone's least favourite, most annoying noise in the games just got made into its own song.
     
    N's battle themes, Team Plasma, Elite Four, Legendary Pokemon, and the gym leader's final Pokemon battle themes were my favorite. I like going on Youtube and finding different remixes for all of them.
     
    Favorite song from the game... wow. I need to play it again to hear the good stuff. XD But I guess my favorite tune has to be the Gym Leader battle music. But I don't know.
     
    I think the battle music in this game was superb. In fact, I keep finding myself humming my three favorite themes: wild Pokemon battle, vs. Zekrom/Reshiram, and my absolute favorite, subway trainer battle!

    I noticed that too. I was like 'awww yeaah!'
     
    My favorite Battle musics are the battle music at the Gear Station and of course the legendary music as well. At first I didnt like the Gear Station music because it was annoying, but after I kept going to the Subways and battling, the music grew to me


    :t354:TG
     
    N final battle, full stop. The remix of Blue's theme is good as well. (PLEASE do not flame war over whether his name is Blue or Green, as I'm sick of that stuff already.)
