Name a single soundtrack that wasn't exceptional
i didn't love the gym leader/elite four vs bgm
>>58285094It’s my favorite OST, but the Victory Road BGM sounds like you’re playing a point and click detective game. Also Oreburgh City. Eww
>>it was my first game so that makes it good
>>58285094Can’t. Best OST in the franchise for a reason
>>58285111correct
>>58285105I think Oreburgh is inoffensive enough but yeah what the fuck were they thinking with Victory Road? It just sounds weird and out of place.
i can't
>>58285130I remember reading somewhere the Victory Road track was literally a placeholder. I'm not sure how people found that out, maybe from the DP beta that leaked a few years back? Explains why it sounds so out of place.Sucks we got such a shit ass remake, wold have loved for the Sinnoh Elite 4 to also get a proper theme too.
>>58285094The wild, trainer and gym leader battle themes were all incredibly bland. It was the point in the series where battle music started to feel uninspired.
Soundtrack ranking:5 > 1 > 4 > 9 > 6 > 3 > 2 > 7 > 8 My favorite bgm in Platinum is Snowpoint City and Route 216
>>58285094kinnoh...
>>58285174I'm convinced anyone who thinks 1 sounds good is larping. Most of the tunes are earrape.
>>58285183I mostly agree but the credits theme is fucking kino
>>58285111My third, actually.
>>58285183I only put 1 so high because it introduced a lot of the iconic themes and sounds they evolved later on desu. Actually when I think about it really more from a soundtrack perspective, it would be bottom 3
>>58285160according to tcrf it was used as a placeholder theme for other areas in early builds of DP, but there's no evidence that suggests the theme itself is a placeholder. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is and they just got lazy towards the end of development and didn't bother giving Victory Road an actual good theme. This checks out because the theme definitely sounds like they were testing the waters with DP's soundfont. You can definitely tell it's one of the first themes for the game that was composed. Ironic given it's used for one of the final, most expansive areas in the game.Here's the full page if you're interestedhttps://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Pearl/Audio#Victory_Road_.28Sinnoh.29
>>58285094the night themes were peak comfy
>>58285105Oreburgh City is kino. The working man's tune.
>>58285183Only songs I really like from Gen 1 are Cerulean and the HoF
>>58285094Personal ranking5 (undisputed goat) > 4 > 7 > 6 > 3 > 9 > 8 > 1 & 21 and 2 started it all, but holy shit they're so hard to listen to outside of the game
>>58285094Victory Road was kind of ass. I wasn’t a fan of the gym leader, trainer battle, and wild pokemon themes either. Surf and bike were just bad as well.
Sinnoh victory road theme didn't suck, it was just different. Reminded me of a theme from a spy movie. It was a nice change from the usual dramatic music
5=7≥4>6=8≥9>2>>3>>1The majority of gen 6 is the Hoenn soundtrack that's so beloved but actually good because it's not on the GBA. Though Kalos has some good shit like Successor Korrina, Route 15, the Pokémon League and Diantha. Still mostly ORAS tho.GSC has a couple fun ones like Ecruteak City, trainer battle, the Gym (not leader) theme and the Game Corner, all of which are almost directly better in HGSS anyway except Ecruteak being a sidegrade from how well executed its new take is, despite not being my thing.GBA's sound design is infamous all around, though it is the best Kanto-only soundtrack besides Gen I's gym leader theme and a fair few LGPE remasters. RSE is honestly dire.Like I said, besides the gym leader/elite four theme, RGBY is one of the many Game Boy games to drive my ears to near blood. Fucking christ.
I really fucking hate the Pastoria City/Solaceon Town theme. It's some drunk theme that, combined with the dickish RNG of the Great Marsh, made me unable to stand it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ4h4JGG79EBut the nightly Pokemon Center theme is so vastly superior to the original it's a wonder the original still exists. This one doesn't make my ears explode, I can actually idle in Pokemon Centers listening to this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqfFUB2s9Gk
X/Y Gym Battle theme is bland and unremarkable
I can't stand the horns of G3 Hoenn. Its a meme for a reason. And G5 has some decent tracks, but I hate the soundfront overall and do not understand why it is the go-to for 'x song in a Pokemon soundfront' music.On a completely opposite note, you should know that Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity is one of the best OST in the entire franchise. I have no interest in Mystery Dungeon and I hear the game is very problemed (slow text speed especially). But I have 40 tracks saved from it and listen often. Has a lot of reoccurring themes across the entire thing too.
>>58285526Hey, a fellow Gen 7 ost enjoyer.
>>58285594Fair although I think E4, Trainer, Champion, and Lysandre battles more than make up for it though
>>58285594>>58285630I think I agree on all this, but XY does have a weird trend of having a slow lead-in for the songs. First 30-60 seconds is build up. Except for ones like Team Flare which are straight in.Best example is a forgotten song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wK4PBzKOiQDid anyone get to hear this full thing before that battle was over?
>>58285094Can we do this for every gen?
>>58285665obviously not, fuckface
>>58285111i played pokemon stadium first
>>58285608Gen 5 is just popular. Idk why. One of the main things people agreed on when it came out was that the music was great. AEvery top 10 music lists always had at least a couple Unova tracks and they were usually in the top 3 of said list.
>>58285094Almost all of it. The only standout tracks are Route 216 and Mt. Coronet. Everything else is slow meandering penis music.
>>58285680Yeah, I don't get it either. Only one song in BW is top tier to me, Dragonspiral Towerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBb-j9QQ1QwAnd only one is fuck yeah, Colress' battle in B2W2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FN2EfesYR0
>>58285526>but actually good because it's not on the GBAWrong. ORAS neutered the tracks by selecting subpar instrument samples for most arrangements that lessened the impact. It’s legitimately a watered down version of the original soundtrack, no pun intended, and all of the sounds blend together rendering the melodies a bland mess compared to the originals. The only revamped tracks that actually carry a punch are Archie/Maxie’s battle theme, and Meteor Falls. Everything else was castrated.
>>58285684>The only standout tracks are Route 216 and Mt. Coronetlel you wish you shit tasted faggot
>>58285700I actually quite like tbe OST. It's very relaxing
>>58285707>Eterna ForestBased.
>>58285707>ad populum Normalfags have shit taste, and water is wet. If Galar didn’t exist, Sinnoh would have by far the worst music in the franchise. I’d tell you to stop being an NPC and realize how dogshit most of these tracks are, but you’d probably call the act of thinking for yourself contrarianism. Sinnoh’s music is a total snoozefest.
>>58285707Kinnohchuds, we VVQN big.
>>58285726>sperging /vp/ mulatto thinks anyone cares about his groid opinionslmao seethe more faggot
>>58285726Nah, he’s right. You have demonstrably dogshit taste if you think it’s even the second worst. The route themes alone make it too 3.

>>58285726Hating Sinnoh music is like hating classical music, it's spiritually third-worldist.
>>58285111> it was before Masuda let his Ingress addiction mutate his design philosophy so that makes it good.
>>58285740Mystery gift image background with Pachirisu is seared into my head

>>58285736The route themes are genuinely the second worst in the series, sorry anon. Awful, senseless melodies dragging out some of the blandest samples I’ve heard in my life. Most of them legit sound like placeholders, and after the leaks I wouldn’t be surprised if they were. The battle themes are even worse- Dialga’s and Palkia’s theme sounds like retarded circus music, and Giratina’s legitimately sounds like the penis music meme by that furfag. >>58285734You cared enough to reply. Give me another (You) and we’ll see how invested you are.
>>58285764Latinxcore post
>>58285764>penis penisWe get it, you’re a homosexual dying of HIv.
>>58285744The difference is that classical music actually sounds good. Sinnoh wishes it was somewhere close to even Chopin.
>>58285764and you cared enough make another seething reply. btw 4chan (You)s are upvotes, you should go back, silly mulatto
>>58285111This is every thread on this board in a nutshell.
>>58285778*aren't upvotes
>>58285778>n-no uThanks you the second (You), brother. Lets see another, >>58285772>>58285775I accept your concession.
>>58285707Damn Gen 6,8, and 9 flopped
>>58285788trooncession denied
>>58285788>silly mulatto still melting down and thinks she's getting reddit upvotes while doing sogrim
>>58285094When XY first came out, a LOT of people on /vp/ said its soundtrack was extremely forgettable. There were exactly zero catchy tunes whatsoever.
>>58285794Cmon, anon. Gimme another.
>>58285825>p-please berate me some more, daddyzesty little mulatto faggot, aren't you
>>58285760What happened to that guy?
>>58285111I played Vietnamese Crystal, Leaf Green, Ruby, Emerald, and multiple of the GBA mystery dungeon games
>>58285764What's penis music?
>>58285830You’re getting off on this, anon?
>>58285805There was that one remix of Unwavering Emotions from BW that sounds almost identical and for whatever reason is more popular than the original.
Sinnohfetuses really having a meltie at someone not liking their mid soundtrack huh
>>58285848you're the one begging to be called faggot some more, homoanon
>>58285839The sound he makes when sucking his dad’s cock.
>>58285788>I accept your concessionI wasn't arguing with you, I was just pointing out that you're spiritually brown. There's no need to disprove a take that 99% of people already know is retarded.
>>58285839The meme usually applies to music with a chaotic melody and often random sound effects sprinkled in.
>>58285857I know it’s difficult for you to type with one hand, but maybe you’ll finally shoot into your kleenex or something if you see another one of my posts.
>>58285111Hi
Hgss sounds shitty marching band music
>>58285876>n-no uyou don't have to project your faggotry, homoanon. you've already begged to be called a faggot twice lol
>>58285866So Toby Fox?
>>58285862You didn’t try arguing because you know you couldn’t muster up one that wouldn’t sound retarded. Again, concession accepted.
>>58285876NTA but what a gay thing to say
>>58285883I can hear you moaning from here bro.
>>5828586299% of pokemon consoomers will buy anything that gamefreak shits out, so what they think is retarded is kinda irrelevant
>>58285894ooga booga, booga ooga?
>>58285899that moaning you hear is your big brown mom(male) getting railed to buy your tendies, little fag mulatto
>>58285805The fall route and snowbelle are the two that always get brought up. I also thought the champion theme was pretty good
>>58285111My fifth and sixth (I actually had all three so maybe I should say up to seventh, but I only screwed around in Pearl with an Action Replay).Dialga/Palkia theme is greatUxie/Mesprit/Azelf theme is greatGalactic Admin theme is greatCyrus theme is greatAzure Flute theme and Hall of Origin is greatArceus theme is greatGiratina theme is greatFrontier Brain theme is greatRoute 209 is greatRoute 217 is greatRoute 228 is greatSnowpoint City is greatEterna Mansion is greatSpear Pillar is greatAlso the fact that so many overworld themes had day and night versions was a real treat. I remember playing Diamond for the first time and hearing Chimchar's cry. All the Gen IV Pokémon cries sounded so much better than anything on the GBA. Kricketot blew my 13 year old mind with what they were producing.
>>58285849I think it's just because it's higher quality than the BW version
>>58285628Ultra Necrozma, Gladion, and Mother Beast Lusamine theme genuinely in the running for best battle songs in this franchise
>>58285094Galar
>>58286012I actually don’t care much for Necrozma’s, but both of Lusamine’s themes and Gladion’s theme are definitely way up there.
>>58285183>>58285205>>58285363Are you guys saying 1 for RBY or FRLG because most of FRLG is bad besides the Champion theme & Lavender town thanks to trying to imitate the GB on the GBA rather than take advantage of its limitations like Hoenn did.
>>58285701>Meteor Falls>carry a punchThe general orchestration is excellent on its own merrit whilst faithful to the original, which isn't actually that easy if you look at BDSP and the other half of LGPE (and some of XY), with the original indeed being one of the system's best songs, but NEITHER version does that. At all.I can just pull up a list of far better ORAS songs off the top of my head as we speak, let alone are superior on the bloody GBA;>Battle! Aqua/Magma grunt>Slateport City>Abandoned Ship>Battle! Gym Leader>Aqua Magma HideoutAnd while obviously controversial, I'm of the opinion that Battle! Elite Four is not only the single strongest theme in gen 6's orchestra-focused design, but superior to the original for the (admittedly fun) clapping being replaced by the godlike ride alone. It's also got the second best implementation of Hoenn's iconic brass behind Maxie/Archie's main "chorus", but the best implementation across the whole theme as a median. Fuck, it's so good.Again, if it weren't for the system's sound chip design being the way it was, I think RSE would be above gen 2 and close to 9 imo (and no, not one 'remaster' on YouTube has cut that mustard yet), but it is what it is.
>>58285094All of them? Gen 4’s music sucked ass.
