Yup I never appreciated it till now this music is pretty good it sounds like this coulda been the gym leader music if they had gym leaders in this game
I still think it has the most unique battle themes. Usually I’m into Gen 5, 6 or right now 9’s music. But then I listen to one song from SM and suddenly I wanna hear all of it all over again, because I forget how many unique vibes and feels it gives.
It's really light hearted, unlike other trainer themes, at least until the guitar solo. I hope it feels alright in the end game when you're facing really strong trainers.
Gen 7 is underrated. It had such a great story as well and region was great and unique. Unlike X and Y and Swsh it didn't feel rushed. Alola deserves more appreciation.
You summed up my thoughts perfectly. Even though Black & White are my favorites, Sun & Moon and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon will always be the most complete Pokémon games to me, especially since they did all of that to make the games so incredibly good, while managing to *still* give us all of our Pokémon in the same game.
X and Y wasn't rushed. They had to create 721 3D models for every pokemon (for that time), and give ALL of these models around 5 unique animations. Not to mention all the other 3D models apart from pokemon to be rigged and animated.
Silver/Gold then black/white then moon/sun honestly are my fav. I really enjoyed these last one, and this music is one of the best battle theme in my opinion.
@@fromixty And it still needed more time in the oven. They didn’t have to release it that year after they had to make 721 (and even more for different forms) 3D models, they chose to.
Songs like this and Mewtwo's remix in X/Y are rather pointless though. Unless you're purposely holding off, you're almost never going to hear that part (or technically the song at all in the case of Mewtwo since it take 52 fucking seconds to actually properly start). As much as I like the part from 46 on, it's worthless being 46 seconds in when most battles will be done in 30 or less (unless they actually have a difficulty setting again - preferably one that's not unlocked like B2/W2 so you can start a fresh game with it).
loveeee the part that starts at 0:46. Beautiful! like having a battle on the beach with the sun setting with an orange pinkish hue of the sky in the background on a 80 degree evening. Super descriptive but yeah lol
So many versions of Pokémon out there and this is my favorite trainer battle music by far. Haven't played Sun in years but this song came back to me and I found it.
*Ok,I didn’t play Pokémon Sun and Moon,but this feels some nostalgia because my brother played it and this reminds me of how good was this time... I miss it...
Sun and moon were the shit back in the day i had sun and ultra sun when it came out this theme gives me nostalgia kids nowadays won't have the same greatness we had back then
Pokeli if you could do the Team Skull theme that featured in the recent Japanese trailer, that would be tops. I've been really into it since the moment it came out.
I like both, but I really miss the epic piano in this one when listening to the USUM version. Of course that one also has some piano parts, but it's not nearly enough lol.
I hate to say it but the overall story in the Gen 5, 7, and 9 games were all amazing and didn't feel like it was just an excuse to make a game, rather they actually cared about how the story went on like. Their soundtrack is also made with bangers only! 🔥💯
Never played sun or moon but Pokémon showdown introduced me to this song and I’m glad it did. Also happy it’s in smash. The part at 0:46 is my favorite it sounds epic.
I remember hearing it in the trailers when I was a pre-teen. I was so hyped now in almost 19, and after that, it will be a "real" adult and not a teen time flies
I actually did the same thing. I played the demo, all good and normal.. first battle in the demo.. nice.. then this part wildly appears on the backround theme. Immediate chills came. Then when I finished the demo ran to my PC just to look at this theme song to see if I could repeat that part indefinitely. Daaaayum was I right
I just started playing them. Missed out out on most pokemon games after Sapphire & Ruby. I don't have a switch yet, though. So far, I've liked all the pokemon games I played, but X and Y had easy gym leaders.
I cried in tears after hearing this again after 2 years. I quit playing Pokemon but good memories like competing in a vgc tournament in my early twenties with friends makes me so happy. This theme always plays in my battles. Good times. 😭
My Incineroar, Decidueye, Gumshoos, Vikavolt, Starmie, and Nebby. I played this game during a rough place in my life and it helped me get through a lot. Thank you.
i wish gen 7 was on a console and completely open world with awesome hawaii would be way better for a power house console because hawaii is so pretty well when im older i will be happy when kalos and alola get remakes
Playing scarlet and violet makes me nostalgic for these games and how Pokémon used to be definetly not the best games in the series but atleast they were made with quality I loved the story and character Gladion is still my favourite character in Pokémon to this day
If not for the ungodly amount of cutscenes and handholding, Gen 7 would easily be in my top 3 favorite Polemon games. Everything else about it is great - difficulty, Pokemon designs, the region, the music, the story and overall content of the game.
Well, I've a short, cute story with this theme... I was like 7 or 8 years old (maybe even 6) when the Sun and Moon games came out (yeah, i'm pretty young) and in those times, I was wishing for a copy of the game, i watch gameplays of the game quit a lot, and there it was, when the youtuber I was watching encounter a trainer, this theme plays, and my heart was 1000 beats per second, all I was dreaming was for having a cute Popplio, and battle with a trainer from that cool Pokemon game, in a 3ds... Now, I have a 2ds, with Pokemon UltraMoon, with a beautiful Primarina, and a great team, and when I hear this theme, I just imagine how happy my youngest me could feel when she discover that, in a lot of years, her dream will become true... (sorry if i made a mistake while writing this, I just don't want to use Google Translator, it is just horrible XD)
It sucks that there aren't gyms anymore, but I wonder if I would be able to adjust. I really like some of the new things they've implemented, but knowing there are no Gyms makes me skeptical...
For me it's good that they change because since the first generation it's always been the same things,. I like change so yeah, let's see when the game come out ;)
You may as well reserve judgment until you've given the new system a try. It might be a huge breath of fresh air, y'never know 'til you see it. The gyms were never all that interesting to me anyway, to be completely honest. It's just a building full of slightly more difficult trainers.
we don't know if Gyms will be gibe for ever abd we're not 100% sure they're gone but if they're not lets see how it goes we might like no Badges more also since there's almost definitely a Sun and Moon anime no gyms will force the show to change its formula

+Erik Moss To me most songs sound very familiar to each other.

Those drums at 0:45 ALWAYS hype me up. Such a good battle theme, sun and moon are so underrated
This theme never gets old
0:45 love this part!
It's my fav part
Same. Those drums are the killer!
that best pokémon SOUND EVER !!!!!
I KNOW RIGHT!? IT GIVES ME THE FREAKING CHILLS WHEN EVER I HEAR THOSE ELECTRIC GUITARS!
Arguably the best Trainer Battle theme out of the majority of the games
I refuse to belive that this shit is almost 8 years old, jesus christ
5 years later and still one of my favorite trainer battle themes
I honestly _LOVE_ the rendition at 2:10
Maan this is such a glorious battle theme, they fucking did it. THEY DID IT
It seems so energetic.
happy, awesome and energetic goes with a tropical paradise!
The Ultra Sun/Moon version is very relaxed on the other hand
I got sun/moon during a 2 week trip to Florida and played half of it there, now i am reminded of florida every time i hear this. So nostalgic already.
It’s been five years. FIVE YEARS!
Yep times flies, really great games
Going on six now! WHERE DO THE YEARS GO?!?!?
Now eight years.., wow, time flies

I hate that most of the Trainers have ONE Pokemon thus this great theme ended fast.
Always ended right before the electric guitar section
Much better than Ultra versions
One of many reasons why Ultra Moon is the black sheep of my collection...
