I also absolutely adore this area, I only regret it doesn't last a little longer (especially the very last part) and having no reason to come back to it once you've finished the game and caught all the paradox forms. I really wish there were more mysteries to unravel there
Area Zero was possibly the most mind blowing thing I’ve ever seen in a pokemon game. Everything about it and everything we learned in there was amazing. I can’t describe how amazing this place is. …It truly is unfortunate paradise was impossible

Yesss, same here, it is SOOO good! ;w; I love everything about it, just the whole mystery about it, too, yeah, it really gives me Made I Abyss vibes, which I was really hoping for, as that is my favourite anime, with such a special feeling, in my opinion! AHH Area Zero is just so good at, like, replicating that feeling, too XD
I feel like Gamefreak's Creative genius is at its best when it comes to places that are different from the overworld Ultra Space, The Distortion world, and now this place I loved every bit of this area from the top to bottom, our allies sticking beside us while we encounter Paradox to Paradox to reach down to the bottom and to meet the professor. This place has the splendor of a Xenoblade Area and the synthy vibes of the Core from Undertale. When you're fighting every pokemon in this place it feels like you're fighting something out of place like, "Bisharp?! you aren't supposed to be down here, you need to be up there!" and when you encounter paradox, "You aren't from here, you don't belong in this time." Really the only thing I was disappointed about in this place is that there weren't any Tera raid dens and Tera Pokemon as far as I could see but it was still a spectacle to see this place!
Well, I think the Terastal phenomenon only exists in Paldea, which basically says that Area 0 is *not* Paldea. And even if the crystals there are the ones that make Terastal possible, maybe the phenomenon is actually the effect the crystals have on the normal dimension, hence why it doesn't happen in Area 0 itself (unless you bring it from the surface)
terastalizing still happens in area 0 as it did to the ai and the time machine area. however it's way more primal and uncontrolled. I think something like the dens is only possible in the more controlled upper paldea where the crystals were refined but there could still be tera mons in area 0. maybe they'll add them later like paradox teras in dlc. I'm sure there will be dlc because there's already evidence of paradox legends.
@@eeveeofalltrades4780 Actually the crystals originate from within the crater, and the time machine was built inside of the crystal at the bottom of Area Zero. So the crystals on the surface are probably just extensions of the crystal energy within the crater as you can find several random terastalized Pokémon and their dens on the surface world. And the tera orbs the players and other characters use are stated to be made from the crystals, and I think even developed by Sada as a result of her research within the crater.
Love the whole vibe shift when you enter the area. Like you entered another dimension. The music sounds like what I would have expected the ultra beast theme to sound like. And the vocals go hard.
The Area Zero overworld theme fits with how mysterious the place is, while the battle theme has a sense both urgency and wonder as you make your way down to the cave.
@@venustoise4389 that's true, but Scarlet and Violet did this on a larger scale by having Wild themes for each area from the Paldean map where wild Pokémon appear.
Area Zero made me realize that Gamefreak isn't what's wrong with Pokemon. If they can make absolute gorgeous areas like this and absolute bangers like THIS then everything wrong with Scarlet & Violet isn't 100% on their fault, it's the fault of the extremely tight release dates.
its really sad the state the game is in with the glitches, bugs and performance issues. theres so much love put into this game, i really wish it got more development time, because everything other than the technical issues is amazing (imo)
@@Dragonmongamer yea pokemon might be the highest grossing video game franchise in the world but it itself doesn't treat it like that it treats itself as a somewhat big video game company
That bass is so addicting... I know this is just a regular wild battle theme, but to me this is Miraidon/Koraidon's theme... I had such a blast listening to it when I was trying to catch the second miraidon in the post game.
If you listen closely, you can hear both electronic AND tribal undertones to the song in a somewhat modernized version so they mesh well together, which perfectly reflects the Past and Future themes of both games.
Everything about Area Zero gives uncanny valley vibes, like I’m going into something I’m never going to be prepared for. And granted, I was not prepared for what was down there, so I guess that feeling is fitting
Those ancient Pokémon … These futuristic creatures … Uncanny fusions of legendary trios … _That_ *disk* … We still have a lot to learn on our Treasure Hunt
0:20 made me shivers so much. There's so much nostalgia in this song. Honestly, i can't believe this song is in a Pokemon game! Going down the area zero crater was truly an otherworldly experience.
The moment I sat and let this music play for a second, taking in the full impact of what was going on in this paradox part of the story, I realized Pokemon had reached a new level on a way that is very difficult to describe in the best possible way.
You are in Area Zero. Suddenly, you hear a countdown... but where is it coming from...? A man dressed to be a scientist with the most bizarre hair you've ever seen stands in your way. His name, Colress, and he sponsors Colgate toothpaste. I loved the part where he said “it's Colressing Time” and disagreed all over the place
I noticed Wild Corviknights can spawn here, didn't think much of it at first, until i saw in the pokedex that Corviknights not encounterable in Paldea elsewhere But Area Zero. I interpret it as Wild Corviknights hide down here in Area Zero, BECAUSE of Tinkatons running around shooting down and killing Corviknights.
@@LuckyTabbyStuff imagine being a tinkaton, coming across some random corviknight flying, and as soon as you throw a rock at it, the corviknight turns to you and breaks the rock with some kind of ungodly punch. it teras into fighting type. it darts towards you and uses close combat, and your vision turns to black. it's all over.
@@familyneves9777 but Tinkaton is also Fairy Type. a rough play and Corviknight tera Fight is dead. tera fire or tera ground would stronger offensively, or tera steel the best defensive option for Corviknight
I heard the choir when entering Area Zero for the first time I actually felt out of place and slightly uncomfortable. It's so foreign but so familiar? It really makes you feel like this isn't a normal place to be, and everything here is slightly askew. Considering the story that happens down here I think it fits it perfectly.
Gamefreak definitely took notes from the Xenoblade games while creating this area! The music, the area itself feels like a Xenoblade area and I love it!
Occasionally coming back to this masterpiece of an OST is obligatory. I'll never forget listening to it the 1st time. Haven't had this nostalgic feeling to a Pokemon theme since Black and White(Excluding Peas since it's a remake)
This theme hits different every time I hear it. The range of tempo and instruments are so good with each other and it fits perfectly with the point of the story you're in when exploring Area Zero for the first time
This is definitely the best wild pokémon battle theme in the saga, it really makes you feel like you’re fighting in another dimesion that shouldn’t exist
Honestly the first time I got in this zone it reminded of playing Xenoblade for the first time. The way you explored a massive landscape where you could see far in the distance, party members that follow you around as you run on foot and comment and banter together as you're doing so, I also played Violet so there were also mechanical enemies that threatened us and disrupted the natural environment they had invaded... And yes it also reminded me of the same Wii graphics the first Xenoblade game had lol.
Everything about area zero is amazing it feels like walking into a dystopian location full of dangerously strong Pokémon from the ancient past and the far future it goes to show that the tremendous power of the ancient past and the far future is not a power to be messed with.
Red/Blue veteran here, played all the Gens and have Pokémon Black as my favorite. Area Zero has to be, by far, the best thing Pokémon has done in their main games. I fucking loved the whole concept. The game as a whole needs patching sure but this helped some of the burn cool off.
The synth and the outer-worldly like instrumentation really gives that impression like ur in a whole new dimension entirely!!! It just gives that vibe that ur not suppose to be there and the paradox Pokemon aren’t suppose to be there either and that something is truly off.
I love the fact that the riff that plays in this theme, the overworld theme of area zero and the battle vs the professor is the same as the one that plays during a Terra raid battle.
Easily the best location + battle music from any of the main series games. This place was an absolute spectacle to see. Beautiful, creative, mind-blowing, the mysteries and the lore.... This place had it all. Scarlet and Violet are my favorite main series games and it's gonna take a hell of a lot to top this in future games.
The alien nature of Area Zero honestly gives me such parallels to the Distortion World in Platinum. I can absolutely see Area Zero being how the Distortion World would be done if Platinum had been made today. Just imagine, instead of fighting the Professor at the bottom you get down there just to find Giratina waiting for you… terrifying stuff.
I love this song, cause it makes you feel like you're in a place not known to any other man, and when you battle those "things" i makes you feel like they are not pokemon and that you are way to weak to be there
I'm not usually one to be excited for DLC, but Area Zero makes me hope the devs expand on the storyline here and we get more Pokémon from the past and future.
Sameee I hoping In the DLC we'll be able to travel to the past/future(depending on your version) and find new paradox Pokemon, though we probably aren't getting that , who knows though ?
But instead we are going to 2 new areas and their respective legendaries have something to do with Area Zero, hence “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” being the DLC’s title.
I hope they reveal Area Zero to be a massive sprawling network of underground caverns spanning the entire Paldea region with new undiscovered Paradox Pokémon roaming and 6 and 7-star Paradox raids with permanent sun or Electric Terrain. But that'll never happen.
@cringeus 1 it does and considering how more people like the actual comment then ur reply means ur in the minority, also why are u coming here to hate lol
There's a lot of Psychic and "Psychic-adjacent" Pokemon in Area Zero. Medicham, Esperatha, and especially Espeon (considering what it normally takes for it to evolve from an Eevee). The "Psychic-adjacent" Pokemon are Venomoth, Golduck, and, to a lesser extent, Raichu (considering its Alolan form). I bet that means something. Maybe our third legendary is Psychic by default?
Area Zero makes the Distortion World look underdeveloped. Game Freak knocked it out of the park with this one, and I’m usually not one to embrace the newer games.
Given the bugs, I really wish this game could have been delayed at least til January to match PLAs release time frame. Area Zero was such a treat and I wish there was more to it. What we got was so awesome. Pokémon is always a great time when it comes to secret labs, strange Pokémon, and dead scientist with notes left around the lab.
I can't be the only one that felt like I was ascending to a separate plane of existence when 0:06 hit. Hands down the absolute best wild battle theme in all of pokémon, it's so otherworldly and fits the awe inspiring mystery of area 0 so perfectly. If the Alola games ever get remakes the Ultra Beast battle theme needs to be canned and replaced with a rendition of this, it fits way better than what they actually had.
If they could ever make a superior version of this game, they should add trainers that were somehow transported from both the past and the future and after you beat them they just glitch out of existence back to their reality and drop a random rare treasure-item, TM, ingredients, etc. Maybe some of them can Mega-Evolve, and some can have Legendaries of their own.
I would say the map layout of Area Zero was kinda just a spiral down with a few forking paths leading to dead ends, but the vibes man… the VIBES If Gamefreak releases DLC for Area Zero I will get them
The only thing I wish was better about Area 0 was that I wanted more future/past Pokémon. That would have made it ten times better cuz rn there are mostly normal Pokémon with one or two paradox forms, but it’d be so sick if it was filled with many different paradox forms instead of like 5
The bass gives me Splatoon Octo Expansion vibes. Absolutely love it. Just went shiny hunting for a dragon type yesterday and had one of the most tense times so far. I failed to find a dratini in an outbreak so I went to area zero for a potential Zweilous. Found one in the last minute but while trying to weaken it, my clodsire hit a critical liquidation which brought it to near red. Too, the Zweilous hit Clodsire with a body slam and poison point activated. 1:39 started to play and I had to throw a dusk ball or lose the shiny. Luckily, I got a critical capture. However, it still was too close to comfort.
This really gives me hard miitopia vibes whenever to get to the final boss area you know, like the music feels quite similar to being in a whole different area your not supposed to be in you know?
I love how perfectly this music relates to it's theme. When I tried to explain it to a friend, all I could say was that it "sounded ethereal" and "It feels like a piece that sits outside of time itself". And it has this complexity to it that makes me feel several emotions at once. It's got energy, there's something wistful in there, and it's all around intangible to a specific theme besides what I described it earlier. This is the essence of "outside of time itself".
just finished the game like an hour ago, maybe half an hour. And the music and this theme in particular will always have a place in my heart and memory
I know very few games where an overworld theme being cut by a battle theme isnt pissing you off. This transitions so well from the area theme while keeping its _cachet_
I've even noticed that the music that plays when you talk to Trainers always syncs perfectly with the battle theme no matter when you finish the dialog.
Espeon the best!
Umbreon better 😐
Umbreon better x 2
Agreed, Espeon is the best!
Always 😎

Poor Girafarig with hypothermia.
Why was the thumbnail changed? I think the previous one matched better the feel of the area.
I love this song, cause it makes you feel like you're in a place not known to any other man, and when you battle those "things" i makes you feel like they are not pokemon and that you are way to weak to be there
I'm not usually one to be excited for DLC, but Area Zero makes me hope the devs expand on the storyline here and we get more Pokémon from the past and future.
Sameee I hoping In the DLC we'll be able to travel to the past/future(depending on your version) and find new paradox Pokemon, though we probably aren't getting that , who knows though ?
But instead we are going to 2 new areas and their respective legendaries have something to do with Area Zero, hence “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” being the DLC’s title.
I hope they reveal Area Zero to be a massive sprawling network of underground caverns spanning the entire Paldea region with new undiscovered Paradox Pokémon roaming and 6 and 7-star Paradox raids with permanent sun or Electric Terrain. But that'll never happen.
@@spamtong.spamton8416 lmaoooooo!!!!!!!!. How the game runs: dkdjkdskkdkekdc
@@RetroLiminal99444but, they've also pretty much said that after the blueberry academy arc the dlc will all culminate in something at area zero
3:30
man i LOVE this part
SAME. It sounds like they combined tribal chants with modern techno. And it is just GORGEOUS 😍
20+ years and i still cant understand how a game about catching and battle fictional animals can have such banging soundtracks
“Man, Volo’s battle was so hype, I don’t know how they can make a finale better than it”
@cringeus 1 you and I both know that’s a lie.
@cringeus 1 Volo had a predictable team and not a super crazy twist. Not to say his reveal was bad, but SV did it way better.
@@ZapNstuff is not
@@X-3181 is
@cringeus 1 it does and considering how more people like the actual comment then ur reply means ur in the minority, also why are u coming here to hate lol
There's a lot of Psychic and "Psychic-adjacent" Pokemon in Area Zero. Medicham, Esperatha, and especially Espeon (considering what it normally takes for it to evolve from an Eevee). The "Psychic-adjacent" Pokemon are Venomoth, Golduck, and, to a lesser extent, Raichu (considering its Alolan form). I bet that means something. Maybe our third legendary is Psychic by default?
Corviknights vibe here coz there are no Tinkatons in Area 0.
That's perfect
Area Zero makes the Distortion World look underdeveloped. Game Freak knocked it out of the park with this one, and I’m usually not one to embrace the newer games.
Ah yes the area that looks like every other area in the game but with the brightness up makes the Distortion World look underdeveloped
@@eaarth7866 Music is fantastic, the design is horrible.
just wait for a remasted platinum (if ever) with these: can walk/explore anywhere type... (not like BDSP)
with good graphics.!
@@el_kommander8924 *sigh,* if only...
@@eaarth7866 And crystals for the underground area and that's it.
I love how you just have these three other people watching you suffer a horde of strong Pokémon
Especially Nemona, who's born a battle freak
0:34 Gladion wants his bass back
The funky bass, the chanting, sick synth riffs, so many cool parts of this song and somehow they all work
Given the bugs, I really wish this game could have been delayed at least til January to match PLAs release time frame.
Area Zero was such a treat and I wish there was more to it. What we got was so awesome.
Pokémon is always a great time when it comes to secret labs, strange Pokémon, and dead scientist with notes left around the lab.
I can't be the only one that felt like I was ascending to a separate plane of existence when 0:06 hit. Hands down the absolute best wild battle theme in all of pokémon, it's so otherworldly and fits the awe inspiring mystery of area 0 so perfectly. If the Alola games ever get remakes the Ultra Beast battle theme needs to be canned and replaced with a rendition of this, it fits way better than what they actually had.
If so they gotta give the sick theme to faba
If they could ever make a superior version of this game, they should add trainers that were somehow transported from both the past and the future and after you beat them they just glitch out of existence back to their reality and drop a random rare treasure-item, TM, ingredients, etc. Maybe some of them can Mega-Evolve, and some can have Legendaries of their own.
Kinda has an X-files & Dr. Who meets Pokemon battle vibe. Also holy crap the bass line.
Bass lines have been poggers lately.. Illusion Zamazenta/Zacian, this..
Don't messpeon with my Espeon!!!
I love the parts where it plays synth instruments in reverse. So many parts of the Area Zero music play into the whole time travel thing. Amazing.
Honestly the thought of pokemon that existed in times where humans didn’t/couldn’t thrive is terrifying
Why am I crying and bopping at the same time I never knew that was even possible
My Favorite Pokémon Music
Lavender Town #1
Alola’s Entire Soundtrack #2
Area Zero #3
I would say the map layout of Area Zero was kinda just a spiral down with a few forking paths leading to dead ends, but the vibes man… the VIBES
If Gamefreak releases DLC for Area Zero I will get them
Hands Down, best pokemon battle theme I've ever heard, Colress theme was my favorite but this one blows it out the water
Area zero is the best thing pokemon has ever done.
toby fox truly does have a specialty in sick ass music playing while a child explores a mysterious place thats underground
I love how perfectly the area zero music transitions into this battle theme, its amazing
Does anyone else just like going back to Area Zero for the music?
I was so hyped when I heard the wild theme was different
Updated thumbnail?
The only thing I wish was better about Area 0 was that I wanted more future/past Pokémon. That would have made it ten times better cuz rn there are mostly normal Pokémon with one or two paradox forms, but it’d be so sick if it was filled with many different paradox forms instead of like 5
The bass gives me Splatoon Octo Expansion vibes. Absolutely love it.
Just went shiny hunting for a dragon type yesterday and had one of the most tense times so far. I failed to find a dratini in an outbreak so I went to area zero for a potential Zweilous. Found one in the last minute but while trying to weaken it, my clodsire hit a critical liquidation which brought it to near red. Too, the Zweilous hit Clodsire with a body slam and poison point activated. 1:39 started to play and I had to throw a dusk ball or lose the shiny. Luckily, I got a critical capture. However, it still was too close to comfort.
This song gives me Sonic CD bad futures vibes
This song has such a Bomberman Hero sound to it that is just makes that spacey feel JUST surreal enough that it trances you out!
I had to scroll so much before someone mentionned it, the whole endgame soundtrack feels like Bomberman, it brought back so many good memories to me
@@dpchiko17 Dude! Literally same! After some scrolling I just had to say it!
That Bass *SLAPS* hard!
This really gives me hard miitopia vibes whenever to get to the final boss area you know, like the music feels quite similar to being in a whole different area your not supposed to be in you know?
As far as endgame arenas go, Area Zero is up there with Sevii Islands for me. Breathtaking every time I visit.
Favorite area and theme in the game! When I got here it wowed me. I was getting like... Megaman X Phantasy Star Nier vibes from all of it lol
Gives me Miitopia vibes when you are at the final boss level fighting the minions
saaaaaaame
oh my god it DOES sound like miitopia!
its giving me Sky Scraper vibes
The opening made me think of Nimbus, personally... XD
@@trytheimpzt9682 same but also a touch of the final area
Does noone else think it sounds remarkablely close to the rick and morty theme song
Man they really went wild with the music here.
Everything about area zero was fucking fantastic
If the entire game had been as cool as Area Zero (and it had a more consistent framerate), it would've supplanted Gen 5 as my favorite Pokémon game.
I love how perfectly this music relates to it's theme. When I tried to explain it to a friend, all I could say was that it "sounded ethereal" and "It feels like a piece that sits outside of time itself". And it has this complexity to it that makes me feel several emotions at once. It's got energy, there's something wistful in there, and it's all around intangible to a specific theme besides what I described it earlier. This is the essence of "outside of time itself".
just finished the game like an hour ago, maybe half an hour. And the music and this theme in particular will always have a place in my heart and memory
Everyone talking about the story and the mystery (which I agree with) but like LISTEN TO THE BASS. It literally slaps
The bass line goes so fucking hard. This sounds like some sort of progressive rock music.
thanksssss I've been looking everywhere for this music
I know very few games where an overworld theme being cut by a battle theme isnt pissing you off. This transitions so well from the area theme while keeping its _cachet_
I've even noticed that the music that plays when you talk to Trainers always syncs perfectly with the battle theme no matter when you finish the dialog.
The shiny flex; Nice~
