That seems like a modified version of Shigeru Miyamoto's quote about video game production: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is bad forever."
Pez, we don't care that it's 'late', we are just solely grateful it is here and frankly, it's everything I've ever wanted and more. I'm taken back to my childhood and will enjoy listening to both Ruby & Sapphire and now Diamond & Pearl (and Platinum)
Well I'll be damned. Better late than never. Especially with how perfectly this turned out. Definitely a historical medley. Even better than expected, and I expected 10/10.
Cynthia and Cynthia's Battle was SO flawless. I couldn't even finish the Video without rewatching it 3 times. I'm speechless. So beautiful and PTSD at the same time.
My fave parts: 15:13 smoothest transition 18:31 the attention to detail with that “low health” sound blaring off for most of Cynthia fight in most of all of our playthroughs xD
When Cynthia's theme started and I realized you did get into that grand piano recording hall....absolutely stunning. Thank you for breathing new life into these songs, with just as much effort as the R&S medley received, if not more. I will be listening back here many times.
this is absolutely the best cover for every song in diamond pearl i've ever heard, the small countermelodies are usually missed or not played in other coerse but hearing them in this version is what brings out the best of the soundtrack imo
This is literally the BEST Sinnoh medley I’ve ever heard. I’m actually crying at how amazing this is. This gave me chills. Thank you for making this masterpiece of an arrangement!
The Cynthia theme on piano (16:23 - 16:54) is absolutely incredible. There isn't a cover on youtube that comes close to those 30 seconds, PLEASE make a proper full one! I'd love that so much - and everyone reading this commend would!
But if you read his comment, it took them a while before they got the piano right, and that's why the video was delayed. While I would also love a proper full cover I am happy and grateful for the one we have
Every time the video ends I tear up a little. This game was my childhood, Pokemon Platinum was MY little Pokemon adventure :') This medley is just beyond wonderful. Gonna be revisiting it... probably forever lol. It's that good
To every single person that contributed to make this project, thank you so, so much. Absolutely incredible work, and I know I'll be listening to this for years to come, just like I have been with the Ruby & Sapphire medley. Excited for future projects!
I almost yelled "FUCK YEAH!" out loud when I saw Carlos and you playing together on the thumbnail. Edit: from the first note I'm crying profusely. What an incredible, incredible production Edit 2: Cynthia's theme arrangement so fire that it distorted time to bring me right back to my battle with her. Everything. Is. Perfect, and the Dialga's theme bits in there were awesome!
How tf did I miss this video!? I'm so mad at myself! This masterpiece deserved to be listened to sooner. As I said in my comment on your Ruby and Sapphire medley, I started with pokemon diamond and by gollly..this medley legit almost brought me to tears several times. It brought back all the emotions of my first ever pokemon playthrough. The ups, the downs, and last but not least the WONDER. Pure awe and curiosity at discovering a new world and experiencing new things that 7 year old me never had before. I borrowed (stole until my brother took it back) Ruby, but Diamond was MINE. The journey was mine. The music of this generation was the gateway to this world and it makes me. So. Damn. Happy. I appreciated you making the Ruby and Sapphire medley but this one means even more to me. Thank you so much, you captured to pure emotion of these songs perfectly, and made my night
The ultimate goal of these medleys is to get the listener to re-experience those magical feelings they had when first playing the game, so to hear that it worked for you is a huge compliment - thanks for sharing!
This makes me so happy, I can't help but smile the entire way through it. My entire childhood boiled down in to one 20 minute long nostalgia fest I'm crying as the credits roll, thank you for making this
You know, it's not often that a video comes along that is perfect in pretty much every regard. I think my favorite part might be the "Champion Defeated" part, because it truly feels like a victory. This video in and of itself _is_ a victory, and for the countless hours you all have put into making it as wonderful as it is, deserves to be celebrated to the fullest possible extent.
Hey Dr Pez. I have subbed to you for at least for nine years--perhaps longer, but I know it's at least nine, since I commented on your Fusion Dragon cover all the way back then. I want you to know that this medley legitimately had me tearing up. Maybe that's silly, but I've listened to your stuff for so long, for most of my adult life. Through you, I found Marc, and many, many cover artists that I regularly listen to, AND YOU BROUGHT SO MANY OF THEM HERE! Over the years, I have continually come back to your videos, and I am just so fond of them all. This is truly a spectacular thing you have here! And that Cynthia! I remember when FamilyJules' Cynthia track came out, where he mentioned you and you commented there, and I thought, "Wow, I now have to listen to Dr Pez's version again now!" Well, as much as I love Jules (his stuff is incredible), there is just something deeply nostalgic of hearing your rendition, taking your (still awesome) version from years ago and making it even better. Until hearing this, I didn't know I could feel so nostalgic not for the original game versions, but your amazing style itself. I don't care in the slightest this took so long. You nailed it. Great music and a great video. I am so, so happy you finished this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the awesome jams over the years. Cheers, man.
I started bawling when Eterna City started playing, again during Cynthia's encounter theme, then yet AGAIN when Twinleaf Town played during the Champion Defeated part. You guys did absolutely magnificent with this tribute. TRULY well worth the wait. Thank you all
Not for literal years have I experienced such joy as listening to this medley. That performance was enchanting beyond words. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and everyone who worked on this for giving that to me.
When I heard Cynthia encounter theme with only piano solo, I literally scream. What a great way of paying respect to the original. The whole piece was THE experience i never knew i needed.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time! Especially after the rse medley was the song I listened to on the way to school almost every day in 2019. Edit: after finishing this video, I really see how much your composing talents have grown in the past few years. The final few minutes of this medley are an absolute masterpiece. So much of a personal twist was put on these classic songs. Thanks, everyone for making this. I listened to the rse medley every time I would drive from Nashville TN to Cookeville TN for school. It was in a playlist and whenever I was close to my exit on the interstate, the part where Carlos (insaneintherainmusic) comes in for Slateport city would come on. There was a building with similar architecture to the shipyard building where you go to give the Devon goods to the captain before you find out he’s in the museum. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you Dr. PEZ for all of the memories!
Favorite arrangements: - Transition from Galactic Battle to Gym Leader, very satisfying - Playing the main theme of Gym Leader twice, with harmonized guitars during the second - 7:50 to 8:11: this lead guitar solo break is so tasty, love the way you approached it and the direction you chose for the lead phrases, how the solo "moves around" and "speaks". It's the part I have found myself looking forward to the most during the medley. Rich's solo after slays too, and the harmonized part! - The string parts and groove of Twinleaf Town, originally it's a chill song but you progressed into an exciting pace to open up this beast of a medley - The palm muted tele parts in Route 206 and Route 209 - Route 209 classical guitar, so nostalgic. The contribution of the guests is very strong too - Transition from Route 205 to Route 210 - Route 210 expressive lead guitar with whammy and the harmony bends - Transition from Route 210 To Dialga/Palkia, feels so good when it hits with the slower tempo - Cynthia piano performance, with the added drums and those guitar harmonies that unexpectedly sneak in - Cynthia Battle: iconic lead guitar part of your original cover, loved to find it again unchanged, classic cover - 17:45 Piano + Rhythm guitar for this part - 18:30 the low health sound adding suspense - The Cynthia piano arranged on tapping guitar and bass, very addictive sounding - The mashup between Cynthia and Dialga, the victory theme and reprise to Twinleaf The mix is very clean and crispy and the bass tone is audible throughout and addicting. I also want to applaud you for how you manage to contain your excitement and stay patient when working on a massive project for such extended periods of time, the urge for wanting the world to listen to it must have been so strong! Like when you come up with a great arrangement for a part and feel proud but know that it will be a while until everything is polished and ready for release. Me I already feel it strongly enough with normal length covers, so I can only imagine how it scales with medleys like this one lol
Thanks for taking the time to share all those thoughts! Nailed it with the last point about refraining from hyping up what you've been working on. Reading all the positive comments now, however, made it well worth the wait :)
I still hold firm that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's most unforgivable sin is it's soundtrack. The amount of emotion absolutely spilling out in these performances of old tunes given new life and revamped energy are exactly what those games should have had. I guess it speaks as a testament to how amazing you guys really are.
@@trawrtster6097 yeah but wasn't that due to the fact they were focusing on Legends? had that not been their focus, we would've gotten a much better D/P remake.. but whats done is done :(
@@BigMilkCartons2 Considering the quality of Scarlet and Violet, I don't know if Gamefreak being the ones making the game would have really made a difference.
It’s 4 am right now and I have a final exam at 9 am. Every second of this medley was worth sacrificing my time to study. This is simply magnificent… well done🙏
6:38 This transition is extraordinary and one of many gems in this masterpiece of a medley cover. These few times you did the Musicians On the DS Screen bits was a really great idea, and makes it sound exactly like I remember the game sounding, but BETTER. I can't believe your extremely disciplined attention to detail throughout this whole thing. This medley has brightened up my whole week.
私は日本人です。ポケモンが日本にとどまらず世界中で聴かれ、そして演奏されていることがとても嬉しいです！演奏すごくいいです！ありがとう！ I'm Japanese. I'm so happy that Pokemon is being heard and performed not only in Japan but all over the world! Performance is really good! thank you!
HOLY CRAP. This was beyond incredible!!! Dr. Pez, not only do I admire you for creating such a jaw-dropping medley of such an iconic soundtrack, but I really respect you for pushing through all the roadblocks and negativity you had to face while taking on such a huge project. MASSIVE props to you and everyone who participated!
The ending is too beautiful. The way the strings came to end everything with that editing on the DS and then shutting it. I've already seen this a few times and I'm still finding myself trying not to shed tears at the end.
Pez, I'm not sure what I'm impressed by more The composition as a whole, the fact you brought Carlos on to give us one more game track, or the fact you actually pulled Mkla out of retirement. You always set up the best and you delivered. Thank you and to everyone on this track.
No Matter how many times i listen to this masterpiece, it always brings me to tears of joy. I put so many hours into these games as a kid and this Medley really brings me back to simpler times. I remember letting my DS just sit around and listening to the D/P Soundtrack which is a masterpiece on its own. But this? This is so damn amazing! Extremely amazingly executed and Produced. You have my salutes. Every single one of you. Thank you so much for the Gift of bringing me back into my 7 year old self whenever i want. This has to be one of my Favorite RUclips Videos ever.
I am ten seconds in and I'm on the verge of tears remembering my childhood. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this. It was well worth the wait.
I just read the pinned comment and all the process behind this masterpiece. I’m sorry that you had to pass through all that, but I’m grateful you could finish it despite everything. Seriously, thank you. I wasn’t updated to the state of the medley, but I was wondering for months if you would release another medley like the previous one. Now knowing all the struggle and the effort behind makes me appreciate it more. You all did an amazing job, and this should be listened by everyone. You have all my support too! I hope you’re doing good with all your responsibilities and the changes in your life. Greetings from Peru! 😊
Dr Pez and everyone who contributed to this medley that made up so much of my childhood, thank you!! The wait was well worth it, the end product was beautiful and improved on what was already an incredible soundtrack.
Left me sobbing at my desk again, Pez. I can't begin to express how much I've adored all your work for so long, but these medleys have always left me beyond speechless (rather, a whimpering applaud). Thank you for your dedication to these projects and your real-world too.
I still go back and listen to the RSE medley from time to time and it never fails to give me chills. This could have been another year "late" and I still would love it just as much. What an incredible job.
I can't believe this piece of art is for free. Thank you mate, really. You're an amazing artist, and I somehow feel proud of you for doing this huge thing despite the difficulties you mentioned in the pinned post; in short, thank you very much ❤️
I was already in my 20s when I played DP but the soundtrack always made me feel like a child on an adventure. I can't state how grateful I am for your dedication and passion, listening to this awesome composition really was like going back on a time machine, transported back to a life where everything was simpler, games were thoroughly enjoyed, and beating the Pokémon champion made you feel like a hero. Thank you for making me feel like a kid again ❤️
THAT OBOE THAT’S MY INSTRUMENT!!!!!!!!! LIVE IT LOVE IT BREATHE IT!!!!! LUNGS OF STEEL!!!!!!!!!! This video hit so many feels in so many of the right places !!!
Somehow missed this for several months and only found it yesterday, but I listen to your Ruby & Sapphire Medley all the time when I’m working and have for a long time. So I was very happy to see this one for Diamond & Pearl! Stellar as always.
Biggest part of my childhood. I had three copies of Pearl and I just about screamed when the legendary theme cover started. Also that Cynthia cover is a banger.
This came up to my recomendations and I thought "Why not? I like listening to VGM medleys from time to time." but wow.. I had virtually no expectations ( as in, going in blind and being completely new to your stuff ) and *damn* this was incredible! I can't even begin to imagine the hurdles and everything you've put into this project, but I'll be damned if it doesn't show! The quality of everything is superb and this was a massive joy to listen to. Thank you for the hard work of all participants ( and coming from RichaadEB's covers, it was a pleasant surprise to spot him as part of this ) in bringing this absolute work of art for all to enjoy!
This had me in tears. The quality, the detail, the amount of instruments, the visuals, the nostalgia, the passion 🥲❤. Once I saw this video opening RUclips there was no question about it. Your gen 3 medley was my favorite video on RUclips for the longest time and now this. This was even better than I expected. My new favorite video that I will come back to see many times. Absolutely stunning work! Ps. 13:13 killed me when I first saw it 😂
Wow, the musicmanship of everyone here is godly. And the way this has been arranged and how the songs transition between the different instruments as well, especially the way Route 210 started and turned into Dialga and Palkia's theme and then into Cynthia's theme. I've got chills, this is absolutely incredible. Hard to even fully put into words how amazing this is. Thank you so much to everyone involved. There couldn't be a better way of celebrating Sinnoh and it's music on it's 17th anniversary.
I was looking through the most replayed parts of the video, and obviously Cynthia's opening was going to be #1, but I'm surprised nobody's talking about the incredible climax to the Cynthia battle theme that was 18:42. That texture and tonal change blew me away, that has to be one of my favorite parts from an already incredible medley. Thank you Dr. Pez for bringing yet another absolutely amazing Pokémon medley to us.
It was so wonderful!! Thank you so much for this beautiful medley, it was perfect like the last one with Ruby and Sapphire. I was really hyped when the Cynthia part started, thank you so much!!! I am really looking forward to the Black and White Medley!!! Love and a big thank you to all of you! ♥
*The Most Anticipated Sequel to the Ruby and Sapphire Medley is finally here!* I always love your medley and cover works, and this is no exception. Loved the huge collaboration aspect too. ❤️
I’ve listened to your RSE Medley many many times in anticipation of this release… you did NOT disappoint Dr. Prez. Keep your head up, reading through the adversity you went through to produce this is wild. And on top of that, the end result is a masterpiece… so many chills and even a few tears. Thank you so much!
man I dont get it. Why do I still cry everytime when the video is ending, even after listening to it for multiple times over the last four days? You and everyone involved is so, so, so appreciated by me.
By far the best cover from a game series out there. How you guys created the same old feelings of the songs while using all live instruments is insane. Instrument decisions where spot on. Crazy good job. Thanks for letting me jam on such a nostalgic part of my life.
Gen 4 holds a close place within my heart and this performance is incredible! I’m very lucky to have stumbled upon the channel to hear all these nostalgic songs in this awesome rendition!! Keep up the great work!!
Its a crime this video doesn’t have at least over a million views with how much effort was put into it, I got recommended the video but I stayed all the way to the end due to nostalgia. Thank you for making this!
Always coming back to this and 8:12 and 16:23 always illicit such an emotional response to me, cause that's how I heard it as a kid, thank you for putting into music form what my ears heard all that time ago 🥲💙
I wonder if people realize how much work this is, the result is of course astonishing but you've got to be so meticulous to get every second of this perfect it's just amazing
Still holding my breath for some new content from Dr. Pez. All of his videos are criminally underrated, and the nostalgia of listening to all this songs in epic fashions is just indescribable.
The feel of joy, nostalgia and all other positive emotions possible that this medley gave me is something I think I've never experienced before. Thank you very much guys - what an incredible job... I've been waiting for this since I heard R&S medley for the first time and oh boy - it was worth it. I think I'm gonna have goosebumps everytime I return here (and that will definitely happen
as someone who has only just discovered this channel and is CRYING due to the absolute nostalgia of the music created here, i cannot thank you enough for making my childhood hit me again and give me tears of absolute joy and pain from never being able to play those games again for the first time
Got this in my recommended and didn't know what to expect...well here I am now, finished listening and bawling my eyes out... I met my best friend playing Pokemon Diamond in 2006. 15 years later, we're still best friends. Your music has brought me back to some of the best times of my life. I can't thank you enough.
I got a full 3:21 in before sobbing! You are a master of your craft. No doubt you have amazing things in store for you in the future. Thank you for this and can't wait to see what projects will lie ahead (after you take a much needed break of course)!
I remember when you announced this and I was so, so excited. I checked almost weekly to see if it had been posted yet and even after the initial announcement period had passed and gone I kept checking. But I promise I never once felt upset or lied to or anything dumb like that. I would've gladly waited years for this because I knew it would be just that good and yet it still exceeded my every expectation. Thank you so much to everyone who made this and I will be listening to this hundreds of times just like your other medleys. Can absolutely feel all the love and care put into this.
This needs more views than it has, dang it! Amazing medley. Brings back all the nostalgia I have for these games, and makes me want to break out my DS and play my games again.
When I saw that the video was finally uploaded I immediately ran to a quiet room at work to listen immediately. Goosebumps from start till finish, and once again your music took me back to my childhood and the beautiful memories I made in Sinnoh. It is impossible to put down in words how impactful your music is and how it enables me to connect with myself and my feelings on a level that honestly just feels unreal. All I can say is thank you so much for this

Fifth!!!
Gonna have to sixth on this one
Worth the wait. Amazing medley, honored to have been a part of it! This music is so special.
Honored to have you on it! Can't think of anyone that could do as much justice to those parts as you.
It was great seeing two legendary musicians collab!
You guys (and gals) made a hell of a team.
Nice to see you FINALLY doing something video game related again.

INCREDIBLE musicianship all around! Wow!!! What an achievement! 💯
Some other guys from other channels, too. All coming together for a nice dose of nostalgia

I was so disappointed Drifblim didn't switch in to the incoming Brick Break :(
It got a genuine chuckle outta me.

Cynthia and Cynthia's Battle was SO flawless. I couldn't even finish the Video without rewatching it 3 times. I'm speechless. So beautiful and PTSD at the same time.
It even has the low HP sound. The nostalgia hits even harder
For a moment I read BDSP
had 'Nam flashbacks when the piano hit. 'Nam meaning my 10-year old self entering a small house in Undella
I hear the "ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung ding nung" in my head stop it cynthia!!!!
i think the cynthia's battle was too over the top and lasted way too long, but the rest of the video was flawless for me
My fave parts:
15:13 smoothest transition
18:31 the attention to detail with that “low health” sound blaring off for most of Cynthia fight in most of all of our playthroughs xD
The low health beeping is definitely spot on for everyone's first playthrough, I loved it

Agreed. Also, check out the guy from GaMetal, and give his cover a listen if you find time. However, I agree. This was golden.
From 16:23 to the end is pure epicness and nostalgia
Every time the video ends I tear up a little. This game was my childhood, Pokemon Platinum was MY little Pokemon adventure :')

what an emotional roller coaster full of nostalgia. feeling calm, hyped, and sad all in one video. this video is truly a masterpiece

I listened to the rse medley every time I would drive from Nashville TN to Cookeville TN for school. It was in a playlist and whenever I was close to my exit on the interstate, the part where Carlos (insaneintherainmusic) comes in for Slateport city would come on. There was a building with similar architecture to the shipyard building where you go to give the Devon goods to the captain before you find out he’s in the museum. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Thank you Dr. PEZ for all of the memories!
And thank you for sharing - love to hear stories like these :)
あの頃の青春が……蘇る…😭
WOW. That galactic building theme is something special. I haven’t grooved that hard since you did mirror B’s theme. Congrats on another iconic medley!
Favorite arrangements:
- Transition from Galactic Battle to Gym Leader, very satisfying
- Playing the main theme of Gym Leader twice, with harmonized guitars during the second
- 7:50 to 8:11: this lead guitar solo break is so tasty, love the way you approached it and the direction you chose for the lead phrases, how the solo "moves around" and "speaks". It's the part I have found myself looking forward to the most during the medley. Rich's solo after slays too, and the harmonized part!
- The string parts and groove of Twinleaf Town, originally it's a chill song but you progressed into an exciting pace to open up this beast of a medley
- The palm muted tele parts in Route 206 and Route 209
- Route 209 classical guitar, so nostalgic. The contribution of the guests is very strong too
- Transition from Route 205 to Route 210
- Route 210 expressive lead guitar with whammy and the harmony bends
- Transition from Route 210 To Dialga/Palkia, feels so good when it hits with the slower tempo
- Cynthia piano performance, with the added drums and those guitar harmonies that unexpectedly sneak in
- Cynthia Battle: iconic lead guitar part of your original cover, loved to find it again unchanged, classic cover
- 17:45 Piano + Rhythm guitar for this part
- 18:30 the low health sound adding suspense
- The Cynthia piano arranged on tapping guitar and bass, very addictive sounding
- The mashup between Cynthia and Dialga, the victory theme and reprise to Twinleaf
The mix is very clean and crispy and the bass tone is audible throughout and addicting.
I also want to applaud you for how you manage to contain your excitement and stay patient when working on a massive project for such extended periods of time, the urge for wanting the world to listen to it must have been so strong! Like when you come up with a great arrangement for a part and feel proud but know that it will be a while until everything is polished and ready for release. Me I already feel it strongly enough with normal length covers, so I can only imagine how it scales with medleys like this one lol
Thanks for taking the time to share all those thoughts! Nailed it with the last point about refraining from hyping up what you've been working on. Reading all the positive comments now, however, made it well worth the wait :)
I still hold firm that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's most unforgivable sin is it's soundtrack. The amount of emotion absolutely spilling out in these performances of old tunes given new life and revamped energy are exactly what those games should have had. I guess it speaks as a testament to how amazing you guys really are.
yeah they MASSACRED eterna city's theme especially 😭
Y’all can blame Legends Arceus for BdSp. If Gamefreak hadn’t thought of it BDSP would’ve been the main focus & have been in SwSh Graphics, but better.
@@a.x.x8184 Gamefreak outsourced the development of BDSP to a different company though
@@trawrtster6097 yeah but wasn't that due to the fact they were focusing on Legends? had that not been their focus, we would've gotten a much better D/P remake.. but whats done is done :(
@@BigMilkCartons2 Considering the quality of Scarlet and Violet, I don't know if Gamefreak being the ones making the game would have really made a difference.
It’s 4 am right now and I have a final exam at 9 am. Every second of this medley was worth sacrificing my time to study.
This is simply magnificent… well done🙏
Spero sia andato bene il tuo esame! :D
6:38 This transition is extraordinary and one of many gems in this masterpiece of a medley cover. These few times you did the Musicians On the DS Screen bits was a really great idea, and makes it sound exactly like I remember the game sounding, but BETTER. I can't believe your extremely disciplined attention to detail throughout this whole thing. This medley has brightened up my whole week.
私は日本人です。ポケモンが日本にとどまらず世界中で聴かれ、そして演奏されていることがとても嬉しいです！演奏すごくいいです！ありがとう！
I'm Japanese. I'm so happy that Pokemon is being heard and performed not only in Japan but all over the world! Performance is really good! thank you!
ポケットモンスターは偉大！
ありがとうダイヤモンド・パール
HOLY CRAP. This was beyond incredible!!! Dr. Pez, not only do I admire you for creating such a jaw-dropping medley of such an iconic soundtrack, but I really respect you for pushing through all the roadblocks and negativity you had to face while taking on such a huge project. MASSIVE props to you and everyone who participated!
The ending is too beautiful. The way the strings came to end everything with that editing on the DS and then shutting it. I've already seen this a few times and I'm still finding myself trying not to shed tears at the end.
Pez, I'm not sure what I'm impressed by more The composition as a whole, the fact you brought Carlos on to give us one more game track, or the fact you actually pulled Mkla out of retirement. You always set up the best and you delivered. Thank you and to everyone on this track.
Thanks! It only seems that way because the guest tracks were recorded so long ago 😅
No Matter how many times i listen to this masterpiece, it always brings me to tears of joy. I put so many hours into these games as a kid and this Medley really brings me back to simpler times. I remember letting my DS just sit around and listening to the D/P Soundtrack which is a masterpiece on its own. But this? This is so damn amazing! Extremely amazingly executed and Produced. You have my salutes. Every single one of you. Thank you so much for the Gift of bringing me back into my 7 year old self whenever i want.
This has to be one of my Favorite RUclips Videos ever.
I am ten seconds in and I'm on the verge of tears remembering my childhood. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this. It was well worth the wait.
La France entière attendait cette vidéo ! 🇨🇵🇨🇵 Vous êtes des ROIS ! MERCI pour le travail ! Thank you !! 💪
Merci pour ce commentaire, je voulais le mettre 🇫🇷
Oui !
On est là et on l'attendais =D MERCI !
Fans français rpz !!
Tu m'ôte les mots d'la bouche .w.
楽器の選び方のセンスが本当に素晴らしいです！
曲は子どもの頃のように楽しめて、サウンドは大人としての品があってすばらしいです。
Eterna city is so beautiful, I used to not like it much as a kid and now it’s turned into one of my favorite Pokemon tracks ever
I just read the pinned comment and all the process behind this masterpiece. I’m sorry that you had to pass through all that, but I’m grateful you could finish it despite everything. Seriously, thank you. I wasn’t updated to the state of the medley, but I was wondering for months if you would release another medley like the previous one. Now knowing all the struggle and the effort behind makes me appreciate it more. You all did an amazing job, and this should be listened by everyone. You have all my support too! I hope you’re doing good with all your responsibilities and the changes in your life. Greetings from Peru! 😊
Dr Pez and everyone who contributed to this medley that made up so much of my childhood, thank you!! The wait was well worth it, the end product was beautiful and improved on what was already an incredible soundtrack.
I get super Nostalgia from the music in this generation. Fantastic job!
THE BIDOOF SOUND @6:50 WAS HARD AF
Ikr? Best part of the video 🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌 (jk)
Left me sobbing at my desk again, Pez. I can't begin to express how much I've adored all your work for so long, but these medleys have always left me beyond speechless (rather, a whimpering applaud).
Thank you for your dedication to these projects and your real-world too.
I still go back and listen to the RSE medley from time to time and it never fails to give me chills. This could have been another year "late" and I still would love it just as much. What an incredible job.
15:12
The transition beautifully done. Just simply mesmerizing.
Yeah, its just beautiful
The way that the Team Galactic Battle theme ramps up at 5:42 feels like it resonates with my entire body.
I can't believe this piece of art is for free. Thank you mate, really. You're an amazing artist, and I somehow feel proud of you for doing this huge thing despite the difficulties you mentioned in the pinned post; in short, thank you very much ❤️
I was already in my 20s when I played DP but the soundtrack always made me feel like a child on an adventure. I can't state how grateful I am for your dedication and passion, listening to this awesome composition really was like going back on a time machine, transported back to a life where everything was simpler, games were thoroughly enjoyed, and beating the Pokémon champion made you feel like a hero. Thank you for making me feel like a kid again ❤️
You’re not the only one the 4G is awesome 😄
THAT OBOE
THAT’S MY INSTRUMENT!!!!!!!!!
LIVE IT LOVE IT BREATHE IT!!!!!
LUNGS OF STEEL!!!!!!!!!!
This video hit so many feels in so many of the right places !!!
Somehow missed this for several months and only found it yesterday, but I listen to your Ruby & Sapphire Medley all the time when I’m working and have for a long time. So I was very happy to see this one for Diamond & Pearl! Stellar as always.
15:07 this transition is INCREDIBLE
I hardly noticed my first listen through, but listening again gave me chills, you're definitely right!
You can feel the love and passion for this music in every second of the video.
ルビーサファイアの演奏でファンになった者です。
ダイパの演奏が皆さんの演奏で聴けて感無量です。
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございました！
Biggest part of my childhood. I had three copies of Pearl and I just about screamed when the legendary theme cover started. Also that Cynthia cover is a banger.
That Route 201 part is incredible. There's nothing like it to put me in a good mood.
This came up to my recomendations and I thought "Why not? I like listening to VGM medleys from time to time." but wow.. I had virtually no expectations ( as in, going in blind and being completely new to your stuff ) and *damn* this was incredible! I can't even begin to imagine the hurdles and everything you've put into this project, but I'll be damned if it doesn't show! The quality of everything is superb and this was a massive joy to listen to.
Thank you for the hard work of all participants ( and coming from RichaadEB's covers, it was a pleasant surprise to spot him as part of this ) in bringing this absolute work of art for all to enjoy!
This had me in tears. The quality, the detail, the amount of instruments, the visuals, the nostalgia, the passion 🥲❤. Once I saw this video opening RUclips there was no question about it. Your gen 3 medley was my favorite video on RUclips for the longest time and now this. This was even better than I expected. My new favorite video that I will come back to see many times. Absolutely stunning work!
Ps. 13:13 killed me when I first saw it 😂
Wow, the musicmanship of everyone here is godly. And the way this has been arranged and how the songs transition between the different instruments as well, especially the way Route 210 started and turned into Dialga and Palkia's theme and then into Cynthia's theme. I've got chills, this is absolutely incredible. Hard to even fully put into words how amazing this is. Thank you so much to everyone involved. There couldn't be a better way of celebrating Sinnoh and it's music on it's 17th anniversary.
I was looking through the most replayed parts of the video, and obviously Cynthia's opening was going to be #1, but I'm surprised nobody's talking about the incredible climax to the Cynthia battle theme that was 18:42. That texture and tonal change blew me away, that has to be one of my favorite parts from an already incredible medley. Thank you Dr. Pez for bringing yet another absolutely amazing Pokémon medley to us.
It was so wonderful!! Thank you so much for this beautiful medley, it was perfect like the last one with Ruby and Sapphire. I was really hyped when the Cynthia part started, thank you so much!!! I am really looking forward to the Black and White Medley!!! Love and a big thank you to all of you! ♥
This is insane. Doing this soundtrack massive justice… I wish this was the BDSP soundtrack.
Yeah, such a missed opporunity. They shoud have hired everyone involved in this.
11:56 Im in love with how you can hear the plucking of the guitar. Extremely clean playing!
*The Most Anticipated Sequel to the Ruby and Sapphire Medley is finally here!*
I always love your medley and cover works, and this is no exception. Loved the huge collaboration aspect too. ❤️
Still waiting for the prequel
That House of the Rising Sun interlude in the Route 210 at 13:42! Amazing!
10:37
今までに聞いたどの曲繋ぎよりも天才的だと思いました
一音で分かるズイ/ノモセの頭のフレーズにこう繋げることに気づく頭に生まれたかった
🔥
Wow I didn't know we could do this without one of those like 75 person orchestra with a Maestro involved. Or these guys are geniuses.
ダイヤモンド・パール大好きです！！
どの曲もすごく素敵で感動しました
5:07 かっこよすぎる！！
I’ve listened to your RSE Medley many many times in anticipation of this release… you did NOT disappoint Dr. Prez. Keep your head up, reading through the adversity you went through to produce this is wild. And on top of that, the end result is a masterpiece… so many chills and even a few tears. Thank you so much!
man I dont get it. Why do I still cry everytime when the video is ending, even after listening to it for multiple times over the last four days?
You and everyone involved is so, so, so appreciated by me.
By far the best cover from a game series out there. How you guys created the same old feelings of the songs while using all live instruments is insane. Instrument decisions where spot on. Crazy good job. Thanks for letting me jam on such a nostalgic part of my life.
keep your mouth shut peanut
Gen 4 holds a close place within my heart and this performance is incredible! I’m very lucky to have stumbled upon the channel to hear all these nostalgic songs in this awesome rendition!! Keep up the great work!!
why am i crying, this is so beautiful
that went so fast, that was absolutely incredible. thank you so much, i cried a hell of a lot.
@@josie6291 Definitely some tears shed through this one. The ruby and sapphire one though, that gets me crying. Back when times were so much simpler..
Its a crime this video doesn’t have at least over a million views with how much effort was put into it, I got recommended the video but I stayed all the way to the end due to nostalgia. Thank you for making this!
Always coming back to this and 8:12 and 16:23 always illicit such an emotional response to me, cause that's how I heard it as a kid, thank you for putting into music form what my ears heard all that time ago 🥲💙
I love that you collab with Marc, it brings so much power and flavor with the french horn. Freaking love the lick at 19:59 🤩
I wonder if people realize how much work this is, the result is of course astonishing but you've got to be so meticulous to get every second of this perfect it's just amazing
Impressive. I feel like a child again. Thanks a lot to you all!!
Still holding my breath for some new content from Dr. Pez.
All of his videos are criminally underrated, and the nostalgia of listening to all this songs in epic fashions is just indescribable.
The feel of joy, nostalgia and all other positive emotions possible that this medley gave me is something I think I've never experienced before. Thank you very much guys - what an incredible job... I've been waiting for this since I heard R&S medley for the first time and oh boy - it was worth it.
I think I'm gonna have goosebumps everytime I return here (and that will definitely happen
何故だか涙が出てきます。
胸に、心に響きます。😢
as someone who has only just discovered this channel and is CRYING due to the absolute nostalgia of the music created here, i cannot thank you enough for making my childhood hit me again and give me tears of absolute joy and pain from never being able to play those games again for the first time
This is basically a 20 minute pokemon DPPT prog song
It goes so damn hard too
Got this in my recommended and didn't know what to expect...well here I am now, finished listening and bawling my eyes out...
I met my best friend playing Pokemon Diamond in 2006. 15 years later, we're still best friends. Your music has brought me back to some of the best times of my life. I can't thank you enough.
I got a full 3:21 in before sobbing!
You are a master of your craft. No doubt you have amazing things in store for you in the future. Thank you for this and can't wait to see what projects will lie ahead (after you take a much needed break of course)!
For me it was until 9:25 😭
Something about these incredibly talented musicians coming together and playing this beautiful tune 😢🧡
Man I'm sad that acuity lakefront wasn't done, it's such a jazzy, underrated, lesser known banger.
yeah same with the regular battle theme
I'll explode when you guys do these covers but also for gen 1 and 2. This one and Emerald's blew my balls. Amazing
I remember when you announced this and I was so, so excited. I checked almost weekly to see if it had been posted yet and even after the initial announcement period had passed and gone I kept checking. But I promise I never once felt upset or lied to or anything dumb like that. I would've gladly waited years for this because I knew it would be just that good and yet it still exceeded my every expectation. Thank you so much to everyone who made this and I will be listening to this hundreds of times just like your other medleys. Can absolutely feel all the love and care put into this.
Well said!
Welp, another banger to add to my Dr. Pez playlist and listen to on repeat. ♥
This needs more views than it has, dang it! Amazing medley. Brings back all the nostalgia I have for these games, and makes me want to break out my DS and play my games again.
When I saw that the video was finally uploaded I immediately ran to a quiet room at work to listen immediately. Goosebumps from start till finish, and once again your music took me back to my childhood and the beautiful memories I made in Sinnoh. It is impossible to put down in words how impactful your music is and how it enables me to connect with myself and my feelings on a level that honestly just feels unreal. All I can say is thank you so much for this
