I thought this was gonna be all the surf themes throughout the generations remixed... But hey, surf’s up, my dudes, we still got some killer waves with these tracks!
@@teamcyeborg Originally, goths never wore anything besides black and white. Silver chains were the acception. EDIT: corrected a word that was taken as an offense
@@teamcyeborg No, I'm telling you exactly what goths were originally like. Big difference between fact and gatekeeping. People really do love using buzzwords, incorrectlyI might add, as if it automatically makes them right.
This album has single-handedly cured my fear of the lavender town theme, so now instead of staring at the ceiling until 5am cus I have the original stuck in my head I can just pull up this mix and be good to go. Seriously thank you for making everything you do an absolute bop this has saved my sanity
It would have been funny if the surfing Pikachu was replaced by a surfing Gengar for the Lavender Town part Aw, who am I kidding, this is perfect as it is
Alternatively: same concept but Lavender Town is the goth surfer's theme song whom the MC gains a crush on and The Valley of Pokémon is the theme song of the antagonistic, pretentious rich kid surfer team
Oh my heart... the nostalgia of Littleroot's theme. I grew up on Ruby, playing it during car rides, school breaks, it was truly so important to me. Hearing the songs from that game still bring me to tears. These are awesome Louie, love you man.
I had a huge smile on my face the whole album, but especially during The Valley of Pokemon. I love Pokemon Snap so dang much and not a lot of people cover the music from it!
20 years ago I had an mp3 off napster or some bulletin board that was a similar surf rock take on the FF battle music. This is even better. Thanks for the memories.
I love this SOOO much!!!!! Pokemon and Louie Zong music are two of my favorite things, I can't believe they have come together in such a delightful creation. So good!!! Also turning them into surfer tunes is genius honestly
It's not that niche. Surf rock has been around since I think the 50's and even today there are plenty of bands that still play this style (although probably more in the indie scene). You may be familiar with the song Misirlou by Dick Dale. But I agree, Louie is an absolute genius.
SURF ROCK?! Immediate like! Also Unova's surf theme is one of my all-time favourites - thank you so much for remembering it. AND that's such a rad take on the Valley theme, absolutely love it.
Totally fits with Pokémon Sun and Moon, I mean hey, surf is a move in that game… That wild Pokémon battle theme is so good, I love that little slide you do during the main guitar riff at the beginning.
Lavender town gives me summer ween vibes like if Halloween was in the summer and your roaming and running around an escape house or a guy in a scary costume like Scooby-Doo.
Love this, Louie! Been listening to it almost every day since I found it. The arrangements are beautiful, and every addition you put in fits perfectly and complements the original tracks. Great selection of songs too. My only complaint: just over 11 minutes, I need moar! Thank you for your music!
Starting to think Team Aqua had the right idea
Yeah
yeah
Criminally underrated comment right here.
Can’t have a beach without land, brah
@@Squintis A worthy sacrifice to have all the Pikachu's surfing and flying with balloons all over the world. May Arceus bless us all with this miracle
Honestly, Louie Zong is a music god for making Lavender Town sound the way it does here
I would never think that song would like me, this man just destroy that. I hope keep finding things like this.
@@microwolf9960 Woah, this is crazy! RUclips just became a smaller world for a second lol. And thank you, I'm just glad for the following I have.
it sounds so,,, goth
@@cy-bernet-ix is that why I thought of Halloween at the beach lol
we can all agree lavender town is the best song
This is, hands down, the best surf rock pokemon soundtrack cover album I've ever listened to.
Probably the only surf rock Pokémon soundtrack cover album you’ve ever listened to.
Me too man
this is actually unironically the best surf rock album I've ever listened to in general
@@rowanno Yep, that's the joke
High praise
God I'm still blown away by how good of a title "Surfin' GBA" is
GBA= Good Boy Artist. In other words, Louie Zong
GBA also referring to the Gameboy advance.
A keep thinking of a play on words from Beach Boys - Surfin in the USA. Like "Surfin' in the GBA"
The song title is just 'Surfin' USA' so this is a direct reference to that@gerstburst6967
This is everything I wanted from sun and moon
I thought this was gonna be all the surf themes throughout the generations remixed... But hey, surf’s up, my dudes, we still got some killer waves with these tracks!
same
Surf rock Lavender Town is officially the anthem for hot goth summer
black absorbs light and makes it into heat so any summer is hot for goths
yessss thank you 🙌🏻
@@teamcyeborg Originally, goths never wore anything besides black and white. Silver chains were the acception. EDIT: corrected a word that was taken as an offense

it sounds like joy division, but faster
Lavender town: *becomes a genuine bop*
It's giving me Scooby Doo and Gravity Falls vibes
@@omac18 Totally! 😁
Always was a bop!
For once
>implying it wasn't one
I didn't know I needed this. I've fallin in love with your 3d Pokemon art too.
wait omg truegreen you're a louie zong fan???
Hello Sceptile with the access of internet
@@liliasusan you'll see him more if you watch pokemon vids.
@Henry is a Banana heyo
@Henry is a Banana not too bad thanks for asking, got mock exams tomorrow so I’m a lil’ psyched out. But hoo well, what about chu?
Pokemon Yellow's Pikachu is back and he's here to rock.
The best pikachu
best chonk
He do be vibin
He best Fattachu
Gnarlyyyyy
Damn, your Lavender Town’s a rude-ass tune, absolutely love it.
I'll never be as cool as this Pikachu, and that's okay
Never say never, brah
Wasn’t expecting that Pokemon Snap pull! Never heard anybody cover a Snap song before
AAAA THANK YOU. I was losing it trying to figure out what that song was from!
The 3D round pikachu is everything to me
Lavender Town sounds like the theme of the bully in the surf movie who no one stands up to because he's the undefeated surf champion.
LOUIE YOU DIDNT NEED TO GO THIS HARD BUT YOU REALLY WENT OFF ON THIS ONE 😤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Lavender Town utterly shreds
This album has single-handedly cured my fear of the lavender town theme, so now instead of staring at the ceiling until 5am cus I have the original stuck in my head I can just pull up this mix and be good to go. Seriously thank you for making everything you do an absolute bop this has saved my sanity
Lavender town kinda makes me think of monster prom :0
Glad to know I’m not the only one
Totally!
Yeah!
Same! (tbh a good chunk of the albums got me thinking that way!)
@@xcastruckeysquad3373 omg your totally right!
Everybody talking about lavender town (which is fabulous) when valley of Pokemon has no right to slap that hard
Its a close second after lavander for sure
I liked that one too, it kind of reminded me of allah-las or something I’ve heard from them
right! lavender town in this is so spooky but I love the jazzy part to valley of pokemon, sounds straight out of cuphead
It would have been funny if the surfing Pikachu was replaced by a surfing Gengar for the Lavender Town part
Aw, who am I kidding, this is perfect as it is
This album feels like the soundtrack of a pokémon movie with a beach setting and surf rock lavender town is the evil team theme
Alternatively: same concept but Lavender Town is the goth surfer's theme song whom the MC gains a crush on and The Valley of Pokémon is the theme song of the antagonistic, pretentious rich kid surfer team
@@MG-yy4ve good idea
@@MutatedIce1 Thank you, I think I'll write a story about this now! All Louie's albums give me great ideas for writing!!
@@MG-yy4ve If you do, I hope you post a link to it!
When team rocket and Giovanni appear… yes
Ok, this is hands down, one of the most creative covers I've heard. Such a neat lil album. Definitely going on my BBQ playlist!
I love moving the video progress bar around a bunch so I can watch pikachu frantically bounce in the little preview bar
this single handedly takes the crown for the most underrated comment ive ever read by FAR
Littleroot’s music always feels nostalgic to me, but this rendition of it made it a little more emotional to me. Great music as usual.
Littleroot had me in a chokehold of nostalgia and I'm here for it
Oh my heart... the nostalgia of Littleroot's theme. I grew up on Ruby, playing it during car rides, school breaks, it was truly so important to me. Hearing the songs from that game still bring me to tears.
These are awesome Louie, love you man.
It’s Louie Zong, so you know before you even click that it’s gonna be high quality.
Surfer Lavender town is the most blessed and cursed energy I have heard
I love "littleroot, my home" so much! As a Gen 3 kid, it really brought me back to my very first Pokémon adventure. ❤️💙💚
The littleroot one gave me such a huge wave of nostalgia, it's sooo good 👌💕💕
wave, ha
I had a huge smile on my face the whole album, but especially during The Valley of Pokemon. I love Pokemon Snap so dang much and not a lot of people cover the music from it!
Such a brilliant artist and musician, everything you produce is an absolute pleasure to listen to and watch
Yessss
This will go perfectly with my 90s surfing Pikachu shirt
I'm so delighted by that absolutely perfect surf tone, I can taste that reverb I'm my bones. Thank you.
Valley of the Pokemon initially sounds like something I'd expect to hear listening to the Shadows but then throws in some jazz for a twist.
This makes for some REALLY solid Halloween background music too
~Revisiting in October rn
I'd like this as a shirt. The entire album top to bottom, front ta back, side 2 side. Gimme.
20 years ago I had an mp3 off napster or some bulletin board that was a similar surf rock take on the FF battle music. This is even better. Thanks for the memories.
Holy shinx, I wish this was longer. It’s hit after hit after hit with you. Such good vibes from this project!
YES MY SURFY BRETHREN LET'S HEADBAND OUR LONG HAIR AND CATCH EM' ALL 🌊🌊
GRAB SHELLOS DUDE
this is the best surf rock album i have ever heard?? wth i love it
The lavender town theme is so good holy shit. Masterpiece album
Amazed by how much surfin unova sounds like a beach boys song
omg it sounds like spongebob x hey ya to me
TWO Louie drops in one week?! Thanks, Louie. It’s been a tough week for me. This helps.
this rendition of littleroot town gives me those good good chills ;__;
bro that lavender town slaps so hard are you frickin kiddin me rn haha from one musician to another, SO good man! subbed!
This album RULES! Ghost fan from the gameboy days and I love this radical Lavender Town!
I love how Lavender Town is Surf Rock. I bet they blast that song at Route 12 Beach all the time.
Surf rock versions of Pokemon songs? This is exactly what I hoped this video was going to be. Amazing, I love it!
i am so happy that this exists thank you louie
The iconic Surfing Pikachu!
Lovely music!
The Lavender Town theme fits Phoebe from Hoenn's Elite 4 to a T.
I have listened to this like 2 or three times per week for a month now, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
The lavender town is insane, GNARLY stuff Louie!
Pokemon! Gotta catch these viiiibbeess
OMG imagine going to the beach with this!
Hoenn Wild Pokémon Theme - 10/10 Too much gnarly waves
the arrangements are surprisingly suited to the Surf rock sound lol
I love this SOOO much!!!!! Pokemon and Louie Zong music are two of my favorite things, I can't believe they have come together in such a delightful creation. So good!!! Also turning them into surfer tunes is genius honestly
Dang louie... who new surf style Lavender Town would rock so hard.
And POW, my week has gotten better.
Its SUPER EFFECTIVE!! and its all thanks to you.
littleroot is my actual favourite pokemon song so thanks, music man
Surf rock is criminally underated. Also, it's effectively death metal with dancey drum beats.
Now I know the emotion of what it's like to see a group of other ghosts that are clearly SO much cooler than I'll ever be...
Honestly these fucking slap, the only thing that could possibly make it better is having loop able versions of each song
Rockin' guitar to my left, ripping bass to my right, and I'm jammin' in the middle with you.
still a bop, 1 year later
yep
The lavender town..from creepy to frickin chill music 💀
Oooh baby! Now I'm ready to hit the beach. Great work, louie!
Oh my GOODNESS. A surf rock interpretation of Pokemon Snap music was something i NEVER KNEW I NEEDED.
This is so genius... a very specific and niche yet fascinating genre that I’ve never heard applied to pokemon, great stuff!!
It's not that niche. Surf rock has been around since I think the 50's and even today there are plenty of bands that still play this style (although probably more in the indie scene). You may be familiar with the song Misirlou by Dick Dale. But I agree, Louie is an absolute genius.
@@dragonashattack3 tbh I only know of a band called khruangbin who does and they kinda mix it w funk and some other stuff but they’re really good
okay so this playlist was basically made for me gen 3 has my first pokemon games
Lavender Town sounds straight up like a B52s song.
Your rendition of littleroot has to be one of the chillest things I've had the pleasure to listen to.
SURF ROCK?! Immediate like!
Also Unova's surf theme is one of my all-time favourites - thank you so much for remembering it.
AND that's such a rad take on the Valley theme, absolutely love it.
Totally fits with Pokémon Sun and Moon, I mean hey, surf is a move in that game…
That wild Pokémon battle theme is so good, I love that little slide you do during the main guitar riff at the beginning.
The glissando at the very beginning?
Nah, 0:07
this put a smile on my face absolutely brilliant vibes on display here
The Littleroot track at the end legitimately made me cry. Thank you.
this is friggin amazing i love your music and ur animations.
This is the only non official VGM I want on vinyl. I'd buy for the cover alone, please make it happen!
I knew I wasn't the only one who could hear that one surfer rock riff in the battle start! Super satisfying to hear it out loud 👌
Lavender town gives me summer ween vibes like if Halloween was in the summer and your roaming and running around an escape house or a guy in a scary costume like Scooby-Doo.
for some reason when i clicked i didn't expected this at all, but i'm not disappointed
lavender town sounds like a murder mystery set at a summer boardwalk
God, Louie is such a treasure
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought surf rock Pokémon
Love this, Louie! Been listening to it almost every day since I found it.
The arrangements are beautiful, and every addition you put in fits perfectly and complements the original tracks. Great selection of songs too.
My only complaint: just over 11 minutes, I need moar!
Thank you for your music!
Man, this is really helping me get into the summer vibes 😎🤙
God damn, littleroot town breakin my heart
Absolutely loving the reharm on the Fuschia City theme
That version of the wild Pokémon theme could totally have been used in Alola given how it would totally fit within a Hawaii based region.
MANDATORY summer album. Like clockwork, I'm once again listening to this album to enjoy the season.
ive never played pokemon and this is still awesome. so its not just nostalgia that makes this slap guys
Louie! I've been loving the Blender pokemon pieces you've been sharing on tumblr! They remind me of some of the old card art. You rock!
Perfect I needed new music for the summer playlist
The alternate universe where the episode "Pi-Kahuna" got turned into a Pikachu short.
I have no clue what compelled you to do this, but damn does it slap!
Not enough people are talking about Unova. My fav one from the alblum
this helped me get through an anxiety attack. thanks man, love all your stuff
Pokémon needs to hire this man.
