- This is a project where I learned every generation 1 Pokémon's cries on the piano and made a musical interpretation out of them! This was a TON of fun to make! Which cries were your favorite?
Special shoutout to Gordon R. aka grandmastergordo for his help figuring out some of these cries!

Thought Paras & Parasect were surprisingly beautiful
Almost eerily beautiful!
Paras and Parasect use the same basic structure of cry as Mewtwo! Just time stretched/pitch shifted, and with the noise channel shuffled around a bit
they sound like a sound effect in a horror game when you find a key item!
Parasect's call is just the rhythm of JENOVA's theme played backwards
Imagine hearing that in Legends Arceus lmao, the BOTW Guardians of PLA
Fearow's cry has been a flawless masterpiece since 1996
Underrated cry and Pokémon for sure!
INCREDIBLE. All I need now is the original cries side by side comparison
A good idea that I'm considering!
Please do@@ElementalityStudios
If you're not on mobile, you're welcome to open up the cries on RUclips in a second window
@@ElementalityStudios That would be awesome for next time,. I'd even watch a reupload!
With sheet music please!!
Listening to it 2x makes them sound almost like the original
So cool! 1,5x even better imo?
Yass...❤
I love how these sound like Breath of the Wild jingles now
Yeah i can hear that too
Yeah i hear it
Wouldn't be suprised if the jingles derived from these sounds.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. But also pissed that you stole my comment. Damn Psychic Types
Linking all of them together in order without pauses in between each one would make the ultimate contemporary piece
I liked how the Alakazam and Electrode lines were just a slamming of the piano.
Starmie’s was very twinkly, it was fitting 🌟
Right?! Starmie was one that turned out better than I expected it to!
Definitely
Yea, thanks for the time stamp
The piano version of poliwrath's cry ends up just sounding like its normal cry, I love it!
I find it interesting how many cries are built off of the tri-tone
On top of that, I would say most, if not all, of these cries were semi tones too. So if a cry started on a tone between C and C#, I used my own judgement to play whichever one I thought sounded the closest!

I can't believe you timestamped all of these, you're incredible!

whats interesting is that the evolutions all create a sort of harmony with eachother, repeating the same phrase or a variation of the phrase either in a different key or sometimes in a melodic movement, its really cool
Thanks to limitations with the memory they had available, a lot of cries in generation 1 are modified versions of others. Some are direct copies, but for many they took a "base cry" and played with values to adjust pitch, duration, playback rate, and when to shut off certain sound channels. Retro Game Mechanics Explained has an excellent in-depth dive if you're curious, and they even set up a website where you can play with those values yourself to create your own cries.
@@ryguy7227 Most obvious might be Vulpix to Ninetales which appears to just be slightly stretched and pitched. Super cool fact, thanks!
Unless it’s the anime where Bellsprout and Weepinbell sound like they look if that makes sense. Victorybell strait up just screams like a woman about to be murdered😹 Like where the hell did that come from? Game cries are more consistent at least. There’s probably an odd one but for the most part the pitch or something has changed when the Pokèmon evolves
Rhyhorn and Charizard have the exact same cry too. I think Poliwhirl or Caterpie share their cry with another Pokèmon too. But like was said before, Game Boy had its limitations
Some of the more resonant cries are so close to the original its hypnotic for someone who has heard them before. This tickles my brain juuuuuust right.
Seadra was insane to listen to.
There's some cries that just stay with ya, even after twenty something years. The starters, Pidgey, Caterpie, Spearow, and many others I didn't have to check to compare, and they all sounded great
The very specific way the electric piano buzzes and reverbs with your audio setup quickly reminded me of old-school flip phone ringtones. My brain actually started processing each cry as if I was picking a ringtone and I had to manually clear my head and remember what I was watching, lol.
Very well done on all of these! Especially want to shout out Kadabra and Alakazam, truly the pinnacle of melodic Pokémon cries.
I really liked Drowzee, and Hypno. They sounded like their actual in game cries the most, though a few others did stand out too, like Spearow and Mankey.
The Seadra was on point too.
Agreed I was just about to say that about those two
I lost it at Alakazam! 😂 I loved the twinkly sound of Clefairy and Clefable
hahaha glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!!!
2:04 this sounds like a "Secret Discovered" Jingle - and I'm all for that!
I could definitely see that!
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom be like:
Drowzee and Hypno always had my favourite cries. Creepy, ominous, mysterious, and fitting to their appearance and powers. Here was no exception.
There were a few that sounded a bit off from the actual cry, but imo that made them so much better, just because the notes on an instrument sound so much better than static noise
Part of this challenge was that a lot of these were in semi tones. I had to make decisions whether to pitch them down or up, but I think they all still turned out well!
i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing that i could hear the cries in my head as you played them, amazing work
🫡
This is incredible! When I saw the video title on my front page I didn't expect the cries to sound *this* spot on. Absolutely amazing work! It's hard to pick a favourite honestly.
Love this. Especially: Weedle, Parasect, Victreebel, Cloyster, Drowzee, Hypno, Krabby, Jynx, Zapdos.
OK BUT YOU DIFFERENTIATED EVEN BETWEEN CRIES THAT WERE EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! Like caterpie and goldeen each had a unique take and that is true artistry
What an interesting idea, and very well-done! :) I didn't know that the Pokemon cries were so harmonic!
It's definitely surprising how many of them do sound harmonic!
And then there's Voltorb and Electrode...
@@ElementalityStudiosWe don’t talk about Voltorb and Electrode.
You can really tell what game freak was trying to convey with the personality of a Pokemon when its on piano
These sound like they'd be useful in a Pokemon musical.
Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it.
Those early cries were kinda fascinating, a lot of them sounded eerily similar to other cries of completely different Pokémon. Victreebel and Porygon for instance.
It stands out even more that there were just like eight or so base Pokémon cries that all got pitch / tempo shifted
Hey, man, I'm overextended with a full time job, full time school, physical fitness maintenance, and trying to spin up a comedy special, losing my sanity in the process.
You gave it back to me. Keep making content.
This is great. I thought I would need the original cry before listening the piano rendition. But I'm so used to the gen 1 cries. You totally nailed it
They really don't even try on some of em.
And completely fitting of mewtwo to come out "Evil"
I think using these as an intro to a song involving a battle between two pokemon would be really cool
Sounds like a Stravinski suite. What a great project! Very nicely done.
I loved the tonal shift from the Poliwag line to the Abra line
Play through this at 2x speed, and they sound so close. Well done :)
weird nostalgia of going thru the cries one by one when i was a kid
If you discovered this video through a Short either from RUclips, TikTok or elsewhere, which Pokemon cries brought you here? Comment below and let me know!
The Horsea line!
I searched "recreating pokemon cries"
The algorithm recommended it
Someone has got to make a sound mod for Red and Blue with these cries.
The first Pokemon game to allow for piano tones was R/S; you can reasonably replicate sounds with just the GB channels, but it... would still just be better to have the original cries if you're going for that
I don't think a Gameboy would be able to handle that...
Paras and Parasect's (as well as Mewtwo's and Mew's) cries sound like something out of a horror movie.
This is one of the neatest videos I've watched in recent memory. You did an amazing job!
this is so very niche and entirely my thing. NICE
edit: 1:34 the nidorans and their evolution lines sound SO GOOD
These are so cool!! You did a great job, seems like a lot of hard and dedicated work to transpose everything. They sound like jazz 😄 you could make covers like- bulbasaur to venosaur jazz evolution cover HAHAHAH
This is a fantastic idea! I may try it out!
No worries 😄 as I listened to these, I immediately thought of Peter and the Wolf where each character had its own unique instrument. You did a really good job with all these distinct cries 😄 could make a Pokemon symphony with battles and everything hahahaha
One of the underappreciated parts of this video is how long it must have taken to add all 151 images of the Pokémon at the top of the screen.
Amazing video, I found Ninetales to be elegantly spot on! Krabby was hilarious as well loool
This is awesome Jon, look forward to gen 2. Drowzee more than any of them hits the nostalgia. I guess it has the most distinctive cry
Thank you CK! Drowzee seems to be a fan favorite!
I actually wanted to do the exact thing but then never did it, thought that it wouldn't pay off but I was wrong apparently. So interesting, that one could actually recognise the pokemon crys from the extracted notes on the piano. Greatly done and love paras and parasect, sounds so mystical.
I enjoyed that way more then I'd thought.
Spearow, Haunter, Parasect & Jynx all made me smile or laugh. Love them
Fearow hits you with a hip wholetone lick, and then Paras and Parasect come at you with like, Liszt or something.
3:31🎵Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey-ey-ey🎵
I have never forgotten pokemon cries on the spot so fast..
The Poliwag line is so close to perfect in that tone
Farfetchd & Jinx stood out the most, such a cool idea
Paras and parasect sounds really like a Botw sound
HOLY SHIT JIGGLYPUFF WAS PERFECT
I desperately need a version without the intro and outro, and with less of a break between each cry... Turning this into one nonstop song that I can add to my playlist for the express purpose of confusing my family when it comes on.
I love how oddly bluesy Exeggutor was for some reason
They all sound like tiny snippets from either modern jazz piano pieces or actual classical piano pieces
Now let’s try to make a song outta a couple of these.
My favourite ones are Weedle, Spearow, Dugtrio, Drowzee and Chansey.
Also I love how in Kadabra, Alakazam, Gastly and Haunter you just slam your hand on the piano.
Also on voltorb and electrode he slams his hand on the thing, truly a work of art
@@CosmicTheGamer821 I just wasn't watching because a Fall Guys match finalliy started qfter 3 minut- OH CRAP IT STARTED.
Poliwrath, Krabby, the Drowzee line, they sounded exactly like the original cries XD
also I like how we have all these random elemental monsters with such musical cries, then we have the family smarter than a supercomputer and their cries are just like *crash krrsh bang* XD
i never played the Gen 1 Pokèmon games but i just love how goofy some Pokèmon like Golbat used to look XD
Great lmao, I'd love to see you make a song based on their cries; a lot of them have similar ideas and could work as harmonies/bass.
Great vid lol, glad to find you on my algorithm just now
Sounds like a free jazz composition
Spearow, Clefairy, Poliwag, Drowzee, hypno, Exeggutor, Jynx were my favorite musically
Gastly and Haunter were the funniest. Just punch the lower half of the piano for the end of their cry lol, and it works perfectly
Jynx's was so nice sounding
That is pretty insane. XD I love how Alakazam is just a keyboard smash
2:04
I got goosebumps.
I can still hear and sounded out the sounds of electrode and voltorb. What a weird sleeper activation video
This is really cool. I bet it would sound really awesome on an electric guitar due to the fact the sounds are very static, distorted and have a crunchy sound for example charizard, pikachu, and metapod. Definitly do another one of these maybe gen 2
That is a cool idea! And I plan to do Gen 2 hopefully soon!
Or a stylophone
My first videogame ever was Pokemon FireRed. I played it until there literally were no more Pokemon in my version of the game I could have caught. I actually caught them all. This has always placed the Kanto games in a special place in my heart. So much of this was nostalgic for me, and incredibly satisfying. Thank you for sharing your gift of music. My favorite ones to rediscover were the Nintetales and Parasect evolution lines. Snorlax was also so cute. Nice job on the Mewtwo btw
Watching at 2x speed brings back memories
Poliwag almost sounded like the actual sound bite. Spearow was awesome to.
The spearow one was perfect. Like it was a HD rip of the original recording!
Oh, how terribly delightful. Thank you for this wholesome content.
Listening on max playback speed really makes it sound closer
I’ve definitely played too much Pokemon over the years because I can recognize an overwhelming majority of them without looking🤣🤣
Good job my dude! Just subbed : ))
I can imagine these notifications on the phone, good job!
Edit: also, favorite is Alakazam!
Thank you! Alakazam is just pure chaos lol
Damn, you took the hard way to turn a bunch of Pokemon cries into MIDI piano and it paid off, they don't sound like keyboard sma-
2:33
Oh! There it is!
3:26 The forbidden Jetsons-Lydian.
You had me for a second there. I thought you weren’t going to do Mew. For just a moment I was so angry lmao.
Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff’s cries feel like horror stingers for their sprites
I'd love to see these arranged into a melody. The evolutions tend to make these lovely melodic strings that'd sound great without the pauses between them.
i had very low expectations when i put this on, and by jigglypuff you had blown by them. chansey was my favorite.
Yoooooooo, i didnt know i needed this video until it started, thankksss
Another good surprise of youtube recommandations..😊
I went into this thinking “lol never” - then I shut my eyes and listened. Recognised every single cry. This is fantastic.
I remember there was a video of a guy playing Pokemon Red, from the start to the first battle with Blue. The twist was that every sound in the game was changed to him playing the guitar. He performed covers for every music theme, even the short sound effects were remade with guitar.
YES. This includes the attacks and Pokemon cries.
Unfortunately he deleted the video and vanished from the internet.
Maybe you should do a playthrough of the game with nothing but piano playing in the background or something :V
That sounds very creative! Too bad it's deleted, I would have loved to check it out.
I do actually play a ton of games using my piano as a controller though, on Twitch! Pokemon, Hades, Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 3, etc. Feel free to poke around my channel for videos on some of them!
Poliwrath’s is so perfectly done
Hopefully someday we’ll hear the legendary Kriketune cry on piano. I wait with bated breath
The plan is to go in gen order. Hope you can hold your breath long enough!
Imagine a silent film where these are used as sound effects
This was rad! Now I want to hear the piano cries in a Pokemon game
A wild pokemon has appeared! Trainer: aww what's your name?
Pokemon: ascends in piano
And also wow this is amazing!
It’s amazing how I can hear the gameboy cry in my head as you play it on the piano. Amazing.
AMAZING! My favourite ones were Exeggutor and Fearow!
This is an amazingly well done video! Keep up the good work, man! :D
Manky through Poliwrath & Machoke through Tentacool were insane
2:32 HELP THE STARE AS HE SLAMS THE PIANO IS SO FUNNY
I was literally gonna comment what about mew.
I was swiftly proven that I should just watch the whole video before commenting lmao
Gottem!
