For some reason or another, I've been afraid to do this song. It's always been one of my favorites, but it's so strangely arranged for a Pokémon track. Most tracks are either in a ABC form or even just AB but never AAB like this one. I racked my brain trying to figure why it was arranged like that and why it worked. Plus the phrase structure seems so backwards with almost no pure cadences. I came to the conclusion that I simply can't wrap my head around it and the reason for it all went over my head. So, I changed some parts so that I could and furthermore make sense of it to arrange. You will see that I did keep some of the weird transitions anyway even though I found them jarring. Oh well, the original composition is always fully respected in these covers!
I'm unfortunately rather sick this week. The spring bullshit finally caught up with me. Please excuse the fact that I seldom close my mouth as I cannot breathe through my nose currently and I'm a bit spacey. Don't worry, even if it looks like it in this vid I won't fall over. Still not as sick as when I did that Dr. Mario cover. Holy hell. Anyways, Just a run of the mill cover! I think my mixing got a bit better this week (that or my ears are seriously blocked) but I came to the conclusion that I need to use a different amp model for my tones as this one I'm using (Treadplate) has way too much noise and fizz on top that's muddying up the note quality. Tones are so frustrating.
Haven't decided on next week's cover, but it's leaning towards a title theme that is impossible to listen to without smiling. :)

Mr. Iwata would be proud pal...
That moment when you find Scyther at the bug catching contest.
And lose the contest because someone caught a Weedle.
+The_Brawl_Unit I lol'd so true :( only managed to get that sunstone once as a kid and wasted it on a Sunflora.
XD so true
1:20 "A wild SCYTHER appears!"
Jesus what a coincidence, I was just thinking about that when listening the song
Today is tuesday. That means the bug catching contest is on!
Oh damn it is Tuesday today I finally made it. Time to win this thing once and for all.
Hey, dude...
I was on a really bad mood...
And then I listened to this song, and then... It was suddenly much better
Thank you so much
agreed, i expected a rock cover, but got something even better.
Always nice to see the guitars do the singing instead of the human. Very well done epic song.
Love your rendition of National Park, well done :)
Mklachu, I also enjoyed you're Piano/Violin cover!
The fuck? This song was THE ONE that stuck in my head most of all Pokemon songs from Gen II and I had no idea why (except that maybe I was actually so bored in National Park that the music was the only thing worth concentrating on.) I recently got into listening to it again, orchestral - and you release this awesome ass cover. The beginning would so awesomely smooth. Of course, you had to rock it out - which is fine too. Having two versions - one mellow and one rocking might have been cool. Either way though, it's awesome regardless and thanks much for making it.
Did I mention awesome?
totally right lol
I have to say I really enjoy the diversity of this piece and it resonates with me deeply each and every note. It’s by far my favourite Pokemon game cover EVER of anyone’s. It’s a masterpiece.
Still think this is your most B-E-Autiful cover to date.

Go to hell all four of you
ArtforLife Those are bots, all by the same person. So this person can quite frankly go to hell four times
Strange now there are only three. I'm sure there were four before.
I think Lake of Rage still tops it, but it's fucken' up there.
RogersBase and #ThePokemonCartel approves.
I don't know what to say, but I feel the need to be the first to comment on a 6 year old verified comment. Quality music tastes nonetheless.
and it was at that moment, @1:20, when I could not contain myself anymore. I developed goose bumps at the same time. You sir, have won yourself a subscriber. Thank you for this. I am over three years late but holy cow man, this just blew me away. Thank you so much! And at a time when school, work, and life in general have got me redefining limits!
That drop is crazy
@@zoomsp91 It really is
I knew something insane would happen like that
Jesus Jules, Not only did you inflict heavy nostalgia damage on me, but you reinvented the song completely, giving it a new vibe and incorporating your signature style. Well done, and keep up the good work! B.T.W, for the next Pokemon cover you do, please do Red's Theme. Thanks c:
Naaah. Cyinthia's theme :3
Jules Appel nah,Red&Rival Battle&Lance Battle is the most awesome theme of all the pokémon franchise
Teamflare Grunt I have not played the first games, but the internet praised that theme a lot, so I listened to it, and in my opinion Cynthia's theme is better.
I admit, I came to this video thinking it wouldn't capture the grace and serenity of the National Park theme, but this is beautiful. If feels homey and just makes me want to relax. Great job c:
This is my favorite song from the second generation, thanks!
So many memories of this song, I cried listening to this, thank you
WTF, this shit blow my mind. This is my favorite Pokemon theme of all time, and this version is awesome, congratulations and thanks
cripii5 I KNOW RIGHT
6 years after this comment and i'm still here watching this awesome video
Mine to especially the guitar version
this... is so underrated. You gave a fresh new life to this song. It legit gave me some serious goosebumps @ 1:20
1:20 this part is so epic
You can tell he enjoys playing it as much as I enjoy listening to it.
fuck I'm a grown ass man and this brought me to tears...pokemon go!!!
me too pokemon is the best
you're not alone
Beginning : "Now that's a cool slow rock cover, I like th-"
1:19 : "... Jesus Freaking Christ, my childhood has just been remade."
aw~ memories~ i remember playing though silver at night and hearing the 8-bit music. so relaxing~ and then when soul silver came out, they made a great remix and even put in the original in there though the Ipod thing. such great memories trying to catch all the bug pokemon there.
Also those quiet dynamics were fucking amazing btw. The beginning parts where you could just barely hear it was so quiet were *chef's kiss*
10 months of listening to this, and 1:21 still gives me goosebumps.
I have to say, I think that your National Park and Corridors of Time are some of your best covers ever.
This is still one of my fav covers of all time
Wonderfully jazzy cover! Great to know I'm not alone with the ''spring bullshit'', can't even count anymore how many tissue boxes I've gone through...
Almost 7 years and I keep returning to this video whenever I want to listen to "National Park" :)
When someone asks what your job is, just say "I blow people's minds for a living"
Another badass cover man. Never seen someone blend such awesome acoustic and metal covers like you do on the daily
Dude the ending to this was just such an amazing subversion of expectations taking this song from an absolutely amazing yet (not that it would have taken away from the value of it) predictable cover to something truly spectacular. Bravo man.
Dude, I was having such a shitty day but this cover totally made my day. Thanks for doing this.
Man....this is just the best
Memories of Bug catching, the Poke'ball grass patches, the teacher with the Persian who gave you the Quick Claw, and that gap in the fence that led to TM28 Dig are flooding back to me.
Pokéfan Beverly was my favorite trainer from there, but the Schoolboy would call and give you advice on certain moves' secret mechanics.
i was walking my way back home the other day when this song came up on my phone again. so much nostalgia! nearly 10 years later and i still just can't get over how mind blowing this cover is, just so many layers of beauty, it's amazing!
Loved the way the song started out mellowed and kicked in fiercely. Just like Bide...👏👏👏
That solo was blistering! Holy shit!
Come back here once in a while, god the feels
I literally teared up at 1:20. It was so beautiful, then it just....
you are art.
1:20 when Cooltrainer Nick walks up to the bug catching contest
Cry, guitar, cry ...
Was expecting some sort of metal cover from the thumbnail, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised.
I love how even your old stuff slaps.
Man you did that flawlessly. I didn't know I wanted that covered till I heard it. Thanks for the great song/cover.
How to take rock n roll and make it feel relaxing with a hint of darkness
DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE OH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. WHEN THE DROP HIT IT WAS LIKE MY DEPRESSION GOT BLOWN AWAY.
This sounds like something I'd listen to in the car after a long day of work to wind down. Nicely done.
From absolutely beautiful to HOLY CRAP THIS IS ROCK
Simply a masterpiece
1:20 is were I started to almost die from the memories
Another week, another awesome cover Jules!
Chills every time. This has got to be my favorite cover of yours Jules. Beautifully executed
This gave me chills, amazing
God the change up is sublime. Still my favorite of your covers, and I come back to it often. That solo shortly after the change up is stellar
Hands down one of my favorite covers you've done. Thanks for the years of great entertainment!
Dude, tears of joy and nostalgia... You're amazing.
That first minute or so, though... so chill! And then it begins to rock, which you always do so well. Great job, Jules! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for the music! I absolutely love it! And it's people like you who do covers of songs like these that inspire me to keep on playin gitaur :D
This is my favorite Pokémon song, and I love the spin you put on it.
I love the beginnings of Lake of Rage, Ecruteak City and the complete version of this one so much that I really wish there would be more Pokémon covers like this. Especially the Gen 2 soundtrack is perfect for this.
Your covers are exceptional work and I hope you have great success in the future.
I just fell in love with this song and learned it on guitar about 2 weeks ago. When i saw your hint last week i was hopeful it would be this. Fantastic job once again man!
I freaking love what you've done with this!
Beautiful, dude. This puts me in a good mood.
Yo man I love this song and I DEFINITELY love how you turned it into metal. Your riffs are awesome too dude! Major kudos to you
You had me at the first three notes. Man, this is such a treat to listen to!
Absolutely sick.. a beautiful and shredtastic rendition of one of my favorite themes from the Pokemon games.
SEVEN years and a few months later and this is still amazing. You are amazing my dude keep doing what ur doing
Great cover!!!! The clean tone is awesome!
Best song, best played! I hear it every day! Thank you FamilyJules!
Six years later and this is still one of my favorite covers from you of one of my pieces.
The smoothness, the serene vibe and then POW! the listener gets hit with your signature styling. All came together quite nicely.
This is so freaking perfect. Just, absolutely beautiful. Really fine work, as to be expected. My heart is happy. c:
The definition of paradox; family jules: the COOLEST NERD the planet ever saw. Love you bro.
fantastic as always
What a fucking beast of a cover and mix! It sounds so massive, great job man!
I love how rich is the tone of your rhythm guitar. Fantastic work!!
Awesome job with this arrangement! It's such a cool song, I'm glad you covered it.
Could you please make a future tutorial video on how to get such amazing tone with your equipment?
I've been searching for a cover/remix of this song that would captured the essence of rhe original; a calm start followed by some real jam. I can't believe I didn't hear your cover before, it's truly amazing, faithful to the original composition but it also has your style.
This takes back. Every time I listen to this I end up with a huge smile on my face. Very well done, sir :-)
So chill / relaxing and fierce at the same time, haha.
One of my favorite songs from G/S/C sagas.
Dude you are so awesome! I Enjoy so much the pokemon ones and this was absolutely amazing
When I'm in the right mood, this cover gets me a little teary eyed. Good job, guy.
This was the background music of my entire day. Since I woke up until now that I'm going to sleep. I just listened it more than 50 times. Thanks Jules for making my day happier.
beautiful! UGH gives me the feels
I am in tears. Good on ya man!
I think this is one of your best performances of the pokemon songs, Thank you bro for this interpretation
Such a beautiful cover.
such a beautiful sound.
This is so fucking sick man, absolutely love it! Pokemon Red and Silver were my childhood and it's really cool to hear a arrangement like this. Keep up the awesome work!
This was just amazing... it even made my tears come out... oh sweet youth where are you?
Every now and again I find myself coming back here. Even after 5 years the intro gets me in a way I don't know how to describe precisely, but there's probably a German word for it lol.
Best of luck as you keep going forward Jules. I've always loved your covers and your mario 64 speed runs.
2:47 that modulation just feels gooood.
Thank you so much. This is by far my favorite Pokemon song ever and maybe one of my favorite songs ever, and this cover does it justice. Beautiful in the beginning, and totally kickass afterwards. Thanks a ton. I don't know if I could ever stop listening to this.
Man this heals my heart.
I can't believe how good this is.
Dude, the solo you wrote in is unbelievable.
I can´t help but to smile when hearing this.
So good dude, I applaud how you brought me back childhood memories
Wowo how did I miss this one. This arrangement is really good
Dang! Great job on the mix here, man! I couldn't help but smile a bit when the distortion hit and my foot started rumbling about because I was resting it on my subwoofer. I'm personally having a shit ton of trouble getting a desired mesh of bass and clarity on my tracks.
this is amazing! !
Jules, u are the man !
I love your transitions from serene to hype!
This is my favorite place from the second gen games! Love this cover of it!
