Silvuddy's Notes:
- Kanto: The first battle theme ever heard in Pokémon, in that first fateful battle with your rival! The GSC arrangement adds some cool syncopated elements to distinguish it from the original, though not all of the original melodies are present. The HGSS version amends this and gives us a full arrangement of the theme in all its glory. The FRLG remake adds some awesome guitars and drum fills, but we also got not one, but two high fidelity remixes in LGPE, one with orchestra and the other with synths!
- Johto: This one may not be as memorable as the original, but I'd say it gets you in the spirit of battle just as well, if not more! The remake rendition adds some transition moments, so mashing the two up would take some extra steps to fill in the gaps.
- Hoenn: The more realistic instruments that came with the GBA soundfont started trainer battle music on the slow path towards more fun and less serious compared to its predecessors. The ORAS version exemplifies this well with the brass and strings, though there are still dark moments highlighted by timpani and other such instruments.
- Sinnoh/Hisui: Very similar in tone to the Hoenn version, but the new soundfont gives it a unique character! The BDSP remix emulates the feeling of the original though using modern synth instruments. The version from Legends: Arceus goes a completely different direction; it's almost unrecognizable as the same theme with the amount of weird time signatures, but still just as groovy!
- Unova: The sequel version might not sound that different, but they definitely open with different drum patterns, and the sequel has a more pronounced bass line. The Battle Subway version is quite different though, with melodies and instruments changed at every turn along with a pounding kick drum to add a lot of intensity.
- Kalos: This one making use of the 3DS's new sound capabilities for the most realistic instruments up to this point. I believe the electric guitar is what gives the Kalos battle theme its unique character among the rest.
- Alola: At this point we've gone full into fun battle territory and almost completely forgotten how serious battles can get. There is one part with the electric guitar riff that's somewhat dark, but the rest of it is just enjoying Pokémon's version of Hawaii! The USUM version leaves a bit to be desired with its slower pace and reliance on synths, but we still get the version from the original games when battling Trial Captains!
- Galar: This one is somewhat underrated in my book; I love how it introduces and then remixes the same ideas multiple times! There's a really cool reference to the main Pokémon motif at the end of the loop, played on an electric guitar.
- Paldea: The intro riff actually plays on loop if you stay in the conversation with your opponent before triggering the battle itself. The actual battle theme itself is fun but maybe a bit lackluster when compared with its alternatives from the past.

Is there any difference between Unova Trainer Battle BW and B2W2 tho? 😅 I can’t hear any difference from them and thought they should be together as one.
@@user-vr3td4kl6pSo why there is " Battle! (Trainer) " in " Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection " and " Battle! (Trainer) " in " Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection "?..
This is the same for " Battle! (Wild Pokémon) " and " Battle! (Gym Leader) ", there are subtle differences but they are here
Also, I made a mashup with the three " Battle! (Wild Pokémon) " (including " (Strong Wild Pokémon) ") and the three " Battle! (Trainer) " (including " Battle! (Battle Subway Trainer) ") and others like " Battle! (N) " or " Battle! (Reshira/Zekrom/Kyurem) " (yes, there is also difference between Reshiram and Zekrom theme (yet in " Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection " the two themes are in one the first lap is the Reshiram version but when it loop ones it turn into the Zekrom one)
@@ENZO_D No no no, I mean like the difference you can hear from the two battle trainer themes I mentioned. What’s the key difference in the themes when comparing with each other.
The timestamps are given in description but thanks anyways 👍🏼
For some reason I particularly love the part at 39:00 in the Hisui battle theme.
Cause it has the sweet Sinnoh Trainer Battle jingle.
i love the beginning of the hisui theme
Ultra Sun/Moon had no business going this hard
Whatever my 90s childhood, XY trainer battle theme is just the best, by far. Sun & Moon is very solid too
Just...how...
@@pedrosegundo8109xy theme is GOAT
BWs is the best especially the Blueberry remix 🥱
X/y and ultra sun/ultra moon are one one of the best games in the world
True!
My #1 all-time favorite is Hoenn because it is a key part of my childhood and it will always hold a special place in my heart! And yes I love both R/S/E and OR/AS
So glad to see an updated version with gen 9. Thanks for this.
Original Johto battle theme is my favorite
XY trainer battle theme.... Damn. First time I heard it was actually in Smash 4, as I got that before I got X when I finally got a 3DS.
Probably my favorite modern battle theme
The Smash remix does the theme way more justice than the original imo, as is the case with many Smash remixes
Nice, I like how you put the name of the games where the themes are in, most other channels don't do that
I find the game of origin a very important detail, I’m glad it doesn’t go underappreciated!
Pokémon legends Arceus battle theme is so good and intense which fits the battle because of how dangerous Pokémon are in the game you and the trainer are putting your lives in danger for fun and the music really fits that
OG Hoenn ALL THE WAY~!!!
Will ALWAYS be my number one FAVORITE. I love the music in it the most and Sapphire/May is my FAVORITE Pokemon trainer~. ( I even have both her OG cosplay and her Emerald cosplay. )
... (Red battle theme intensifies)
25:10 The traumas it made me have,I remembered running to the pokemo center and some trainer he came and fought me and me with my Groovyle with 4 ps
In my opinion the HGSS Kanto Trainer and Unova Subway Trainer are the best trainer battle themes
They did not have to go so hard on them
I love the rock elements they added in FRLG’s version
🤨
@@deepflare1028 They’re subtle but they’re there. (I’m talking about the distorted guitars and overdrive guitars)
@@ShadowSneak. Yeah, sorry. Was making a Dwayne reference
@@deepflare1028 🤨
@@ShadowSneak. I kinda dislike FRLG for that
I wish they used the RSE style of instrumentation with those beautiful horns and Trumpets instead of techno rock
The bass in XY is sooooo good. Prolly my favorite theme
BW2 and USUM are my favorites!
I don't know if it's because of me being from 90's gen but the kanto one it's just perfect to me
Nice one👍
Galar sounds like a mess. Good thing they got back on track with S/V
I think the HGSS version of Kanto's Trainer battle theme is still the best Trainer battle theme there is
I might have to agree with you on that one: it’s classic, well orchestrated, and just goes harder than the rest.
This would be true, Had B2/W2 and X/Y not existed 😉
@@veronviper06 nah. There definitely right underneath the Kanto ver 😭
@@ItslewcarioHaha no.
I disagree 😅 it's underneath hoenn, sinnoh, and kalos themes. Not as memorable or catchy as those imo.
It’s a nice detail to just realize that it’s only the 4 trainers in the end that have their own gimmick for battle
I haven't heard the scarlet and violet trainer theme till now because I never battled any trainers. Not because I didn't want to, but because they never outright challenged the player. Never specifically ran into them, so I never gave it much thought. All of my exp came from raid battles, team star bases, gyms, and the titans lol
My blood is boiling every time I listen to the kanto battle theme from fire red and leaf green. It just sounds so menacingly!
Yeah that one is my favorite and it is so dramatic. It sounds like the battle will decide the fate of the world. Most of the themes gen 7 onward are way too late laid back and don't have enough oomph
Gonna use this at the gym lol very effective work out music!
Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping people would use this for!
You need a gym leader compilation to listen at the gym
Once again, Gens 3 and 4 really knock it out of the park!
However, man, I forgot about all those Kanto remakes! That is another good one (although probably not the OG since it is super hard on the ears - or at least mine - nowadays. But HGSS did them well!).
Absolutely, the HGSS version of the Kanto trainer theme is so awesome…. Might be the best in my opinion!
I think Kanto has had at least one iteration on the most recent consel.
Gen 3s music suck literally most gross sounding soundtrack in the series lol
@@a.x.x8184seems you have shit music taste bud
Gen 4 Sinnoh is just pure flames. the fuck... how could pokemon music sound that good.
Me encanta la música de la primera generación, es tan icónica para mí por ser mi primer juego que ni bien la escuché me vienen automáticamente los recuerdos.
this is such high quality
I never realised there was a difference between the Gen 7 games’ trainer battles, as I only played Ultra sun. Have to say, the original is good but the newer version is more unique
Fun fact: the original SM version is reused in USUM when battling Trial Captains! I like the original more between the two, so I'm glad it returned in some fashion.
@@SilvuddyPkmnMusici always thought that was so frickin cool
FireRed and LeafGreen version trainer battle is LOT more nostalgic for me personally. ❤💚
Damn, the Let‘s Go arrangement does surprisingly hard
Top 5 for me:
5. Sinnoh: PLA
4. Hoenn: RSE
3. Hoenn: ORAS
2. Johto: HGSS
1. Unova: BW(Battle Subway)
fr like they didnt have to go so hard on hgss's johto theme
I can hear some Unovan influences in the Paldean theme
I can now officially say that I can hum all of the main game trainer themes!
The FireRed/LeafGreen version of the Kanto Trainer Battle theme is super underrated
You’d think it would be way more popular given the rock elements it implements
i had never listened to the pla trainer theme and dear arceus it goes hard
Absolutely. That’s what these videos are for: introducing ones you might not have heard!
Gen 2 is still the best, no contest.
Those darn Ultra games
hearing 6:31 triggered my fight or flight response, cuz back then I knew, if and when I ever reach this part of the battle music, I would have to lock in.
The let’s go eevee version of the trainer theme is just insane to me.. the orchestrated theme is by far the best
32:17 35:27 39:00 Man I think Gen 4 (and Gen 8 because of Legends: Arceus-) had the best battle theme-
All of these have a special place in my heart. Aside from S/V for now.
It’s not in this video (for obvious reasons) but my favorite trainer battle theme in the series is the Pokémon Stadium rendition of the Kanto Trainer Battle theme.
EDIT: However, after hearing them for the first time in this video, I say both Let’s Go renditions share the number two spot. Whoever composed those two really knocked it out of the park.
ORAS remake of the original RSE is one of the best and Sun and Moon are amazing as well.
I can't decide between these two because both of them are so amazing. ORAS radiates threat but overcoming a challenge whereas Sun and Moon gives off this super cool feeling about having fun!
Nothing like gen 1 ahh the memories
SUN/MOON the best
hello, bro! thnks so much always hearing this here.
but wanted to tell u only 3 of ur videos can be heard in yt music. i wanna hear this hq!!! pleaseeee i need this to be able to be played in yt music!!
Other gens’ themes: tough but upbeat and optimistic 😊
Gen 1: this is a battle of life and death ☠️
Sinnoh, especially PLA, doesn't have to hit so hard 🔥😭, prob my fav tbh
I wish pokemon would officially release soundtracks for the games, having to use RUclips all the time is a pain
100% agree, but hey at least we can make the experience more fun with decent visuals and song organization right?
@@SilvuddyPkmnMusic absolutely, we are thankful for RUclipsrs like yourself that take the time to upload these otherwise we’d have nothing
Sun Moon, Black White, Gen 1, then Hoenn are my personal favorite
Best is Gen 6 trainer battle
Interesting take you don't see often! It's definitely a banger and one of my favorites too!
The bdsp one gives me flashback to grinding with vs seeker lol
played all the generations, sun and moon may be the best
I used to be an USUM trainer battle theme hater but I kind of get it? They wanted to create a distinct intensity when battling trial captains which is nice but also like, I would've preferred a more intense remix of the original SM one for captains instead of the other way round lol
Yeah I agree, the captains should’ve just gotten their own remix or hell their own theme even. B2W2 did kind of remix the original Unova trainer theme, but it was so negligible. If they wanted to update the SM one they should’ve just done minor improvements like B2W2.
I swear I thought it was just me who hated the USUM trainer battle theme. It ultimately got super repetitive back when I played it before Gen 8.
I actually love it, it goes so damn hard for a regular trainer battle theme
Gen 3 theme is sooooo damn engrave in my soul
i mess with dppt theme the best

All best
For those interested, here’s my personal tier list:
9. Paldea

7. Hoenn (ORAS Version)
6. Sinnoh (PL:A Arrangement)
5. Johto (HGSS Version)
4. Galar
3. Kalos (Smash Bros. Arrangement)
2. Kanto (HGSS Arrangement)
1. Unova (Subway Version)
Yeah I'll be honest I don't see why people hate Galars theme so much. So I kinda agree with it's placement in your list.
@@TopOfAllWorlds it’s so fun to listen to!
Sinoh is by far the best one, could easily be mistaken by a Gym Leader Battle Theme 😼👌
time to add bb league and kitakami. now is kitakami its own region, and does bb league go under the unova category?
I have never played any of the Switch games since i havent decided to buy one yet but i would have to say based on what i have played and heard several times, a lot of the music cannot be lower than c tier.
Kanto original - B
Kanto in GSC - B
Kanto in FRLG - A
Kanto in HGSS - A
Johto original - A
Johto HGSS - A
Hoenn original - A
Hoenn ORAS - S
Sinnoh original - A
Unova original - B
Unova 2 - B
Kalos - C
Alola - B
Alola Ultra - C
I guess i just started to fade out of the Pokemon games with age around before Covid hitting.
@@z0tw Yeah that’s understandable. Each one is a very different experience, however. My personal recommendation if you had to pick one would be Legends: Arceus. It’s the most tailored to a modern audience of the 5 options and is what I consider to now be my favorite Pokémon game full stop.
Can't wait to here XY remix
I think legends Arceus and HGSS has the best trainer battle theme both are remix of the orginal and both hit hard.
Paldea has some good ost in general
red is the only one who’s locked in, while everyone else is just happy or casual. smh
Given how intense the Kanto theme is, I think it's Kanto culture to lock in really hard.
Everybody knows Kanto trainers always went hard. No room for hold back.
The Galar one slaps and no one talks about it :(
LITERALLY
Fr/Lg and hgss kanto theme is hard to choose between
I like gen 4-7 (the DS/3DS games) renditions best (including all the remakes). For some reason Gen 8/9 music is just not memorable. For example, I only played through White and White 2 once each but I can hum along to every town theme, route theme and battle theme (aside from those you only hear once). I also only played through Sword once, the battle music barely left an impression and certainly not the overworld themes. I like them though, they slap pretty hard, but just not memorable.
Legends Arceus wtf I forgot the theme goes unnecessarily hard 💀 I was off tab and came back confused, I never did finish LA whoops.
B/W the best.
Paldea underrated
Feels like the SwSh theme didn't get enough time in the oven. The mixing (if that's the right word for it) just sounds off, feels like I'm listening to a phone recording of it rather than the actual thing if that makes sense. An issue with a lot of the tracks in the game tbh. It would be awesome if the upcoming Super Music Collection release addresses it.
I like more de the kanto theme trainer of the gba version
Gen 9 may have many flaws, but music is not one of them. Easily best trainer battle theme
Yea imma have to respectfully disagree there gen 9 has good music in a few places but in general the battle music isnt it
(Obvious exceptions being PPE, VS AI, Tera raid battle, and E4 for base game) dlc1 has great battle music for important characters and the best music to come out of it for me is actually just the hisui wild battle theme from the ursamoon fight
Why not do a vid with every dialogue music like at bell sprout tower or rival
My personal tier list:
1. Alola (SM)
2. Kalos (XY)
3. Sinnoh (PLA)
4. Unova (Subway)
5. Hoenn (ORAS)
6. Kanto (LGPE)
7. Johto (HGSS)
8. Paldea (SV)
9. Galar (SwSh)
I just wished Paldea had a more memorable theme and Galar even though the concept is good, I feel its too chaotic.
Paldea Trainer theme had those fire Timpanis
There's an Ultra Sun and Moon version of the Johto theme too.
Edit: it was a fan made remix, my mistake
What? Where??
@@SilvuddyPkmnMusic so sorry, turns out it was a fan made remix :(
XY wins, not only it was used throughout the whole anime, it received a SMASH BROS remix, you ain't beating that one
Whats the difference between BW and B2W2's themes? They sound indentical to me
VERY subtle, the bass line is the biggest difference. I talked about it in the description. The melody is mostly or maybe even wholly the same between the two, but the bass line and percussion has minor differences, along with some other minor details.
@@SilvuddyPkmnMusic It almost sounds as if they played the same exact song but instead on different sound settings, nonetheless when I was young I didn't really mind because the song was awesome enough for me
They sound similar at a first glance but the more you listen the more differences you'll hear. Like how they're both at different pitches (this might ne wrong but I'm pretty sure different parts of the song are pitched differently), the aforementioned bassline, and the B2W2 version having more going on in the song as a whole compared to the BW version. This is a trend for some of the other BW -> B2W2 remixes as well
Top 5:
1. BB academy trainer
2. Hgss johto
3. Black and white
4. DP Platinum
5. Syn and Moon
I see you kapparill 2...
🫨🫨🫨
Top 3 for me:
- B2W2 Unova Hardest
- ORAS Hoenn Most epic
- SM Alola Most fun
You forget of the Homem theme from pokemon colessium and XD remix
Colosseum and XD GoD aren’t Core Series titles
FireRed and LeafGreen's is a perfect example of a remastered track keeping the same nostalgic elements and spirit of the original, plus more. In contrast to HGSS's Johto battle theme, it sounds overly orchestrated and marchy, over-emphasizing too many strange places throughout the track. What's supposed to be a straightforward exhilarating battle theme sounds like a musical parade. Not the tone that registered in my head when my imagination interpreted the 16-bit version. I know many people like this rendition, but it just doesn't work for me.
Paldea gang 1:04:03
3DS games just cooking LMAO
GBA Hoenn BEST themes
My top 10
1. Hoenn (ORAS)
2. Unova (BW,B2W2)
3. Hoenn (RSE)
4. Galar
5. Sinnoh (DPPT>Arceus)
6. Unova (Subway)
7. Johto (GSC>HGSS)
8. Alola (SM)
9. Kalos
10. Kanto (RGBY)
They had absolutely no reason to go that hard on the Johto HGSS theme
Have to say Paldea is a lot better than Galdar. Galdar is the only theme I legitimately wouldn't listen to again.
Galdar? You mean Galar?
@@sonatawashere Whatever. I don't respect it enough to spell it correctly.
@@Registeel13Ty Fair, I don’t like the region either.
@@Registeel13Ty so we can't respect your opinion
I agree its kinda cheap but the insertion of the main pokemon theme at the very end is kinda genius
Since Sun and Moon. I was kinda disappointed in the lack of trainers. You don't get to hear these often anymore. Plus Violet's overworld music is kinda meh. It's like every province section has the same music(or some provinces share the same.) At least bring back maybe the Vs recorder or the phone so people could call you if they want a rematch. Kinda bland with just wild Pokemon to level up your team.
hoenn and unova best
I absolutely love Sun and Moon's (and also gen 7s music in general) but they absolutely butchered it in USUM as much as many things they improved upon. Nevertheless, with Moon being my first pokemon game, itll always stay close to my heart.
XY is the best
Kalos reigns supreme in the trainer battle theme department. It doesn't have to go as hard as it does. But that electric guitar is 👌👌👌👌
I’m very curious about what the Legends Z-A version will sound like
