    I love music, good music is almost as important to me in video games as actual features are. As I got older I started to appreciate how fantastically composed Pokemon music was in every game, and now it's one of the main things I look out for when playing Pokemon games. I payed close attention to the music in the trailers, and even replayed some of them many times just to hear the music!

    With the release of the demo, that means even more opportunity to listen to the music and sounds of Sun and Moon, I'm wondering what are all of your opinions on the soundtrack of Sun and Moon so far? What are your favorite themes? I think we're in for a fantastic generation of Pokemon music this time around, I really like how out there some of the themes seem to be, like Ten Carat Hill and the route with the many boulders, with the upgrade in technology Junichi and pals no longer have to rely on simple and repetitive songs and can really go all out with their music, and other songs seem to retain the old Pokemon sound. I'm also SO glad that they brought back night themes like from Diamond and Pearl at least somewhat, as seen in Hau'oli City. This is an amazing feature and keeps the music fresh and varied between versions. The Wild Battle and Trainer battle themes are pretty good, although I did get a bit sick of them, but I like how they retain a lot of sounds and parts from older themes.

    My favourite tracks would have to be Ten Carat Hill (seriously, everything about it is perfect. From the psychedelic sounds to the crazy random jazz like drumming), as well as Gladion's theme (serious old school vibes here) and Team Skull's encounter theme. What are yours?
     
    From what we've heard so far, I'm thinking Sun & Moon are shaping up to have some of the best soundtracks in the franchise. I love all of Team Skull's themes, it really fits their attitude which makes me like them a whole lot more. Hau'oli city has a relaxing theme for both day and night which is another thing I'm happy to see the return of. It seems as if a lot of areas will have two themes depending on what time of the day you're playing.

    The best battle theme so far in my opinion, it keeps that traditional Pokemon battle sound and reminds me of Johto and Sinnoh music.

    It reminds me of something too, but I'm not sure what though. Not so much Johto or Sinnoh music but something else...
     
    Not the biggest fan of the main battle theme (not bad by any means, it just gets a bit repetitive), but the rest of the soundtrack from what I've head is excellent, Team Skull's, Gladion's and Hau'oil city's tracks are my favourites so far, the music for the trailers has been amazing too, I can't wait to actually hear it in the games.
     
    I love the Trainer Battle theme in this one. The rest of the music was pretty good in the demo as well, hopefully Masuda gets to show us some really unique music for this region.
     
    I LOVE the soundtrack so far! Anyone know the music that plays on the language selection at the start of the demo? I loved the music so much I didn't pick a language for several minutes just to listen to the music. :)
     
    Is Go Ichinose back for this game? He made music for GSC all the way to B2/W2 and after leaving before XY. I felt the dip in quality for gen 6 music was because of his absence. That Gladion theme sounds like his kinda style.

    Ten Carat Hill is my favorite track so far; it's got that Battle Revolution vibe. I love the wild encounter theme, and Team Skull theme too.
     
    I'm really loving the music gen 7 has been offering us! My favourite has to be Team Skull's theme. It just sounds so powerful!


    I love how they made a slightly different theme for Plumeria too!


    We haven't had a Team Admin's theme since Gen 4 I think! Wait... Sinnoh remakes confirmed? :P
