This was very ambitious bc of how complex and perc-heavy this song is. And it turned out good, especially in the intro and calm bridge. I'm guessing the balancing was tough for this one since there are so many unique parts. It's definitely the most accurate chiptune remix I've heard of this theme.
Ho-Oh I personally feel is one of the best Legendary Pokémon. It was teased on the First episode of the anime. Its lore was established in Gold/Silver/Crystal as the one who revived the Legendary Beasts and _this_ music!
This song singlehandedly made me like Ho-Oh a whole lot more. It’s so imposing and majestic! And you did a great job at keeping that feeling strong in this cover!
dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last months :)
I thought about covering this for years but I never had the effort to actually follow through. thanks for actually being motivated lol, this sounds fantastic
Ayy! I love this jam! There's a lot of missed potential with Smash's OST but not having any rips directly from older games is a crime. DS Pokémon had such wonderful soundfonts. Excellent job as always!
i'd love to fight to og cynthias theme. the smash version has part of the approaching cynthia theme which im not that fond of. i love fighting to dialga/palkia theme tho but they missed giratina's theme which is sad
What I think would’ve been cool is if they had 2 versions of this theme: The original, and a version with a recording of the live versions of these instruments. That would’ve been INCREDIBLE!!!
@@abitofsupport601 Yep, that was my idea! You could also take it from "Sacred Ash" (Ho-Oh's equipped item in Pokémon GSC), but "Sacred Fire" works as well.
(using my mom's account because personal reasons) We need the modding community to demake the songs into 4-bit, then replace the music. Probably a Crystal mod?
@@GiordanDiodato you can actually fit in a lot more than you see in the game, because there are so many overcomplicated algorithms used and unused content, to the point where skimming it down to only stuff that is normally available in the game only takes up part of the cartridge. Leaving plenty of room to add some really neat things
Wow, you make really good 8-bit remixes. Really, really good remixes. I just clicked this video and on 0:39, I just sat and listened to this completely amazed and gaped because it's just beautiful. Thanks. You made my day. :D
This sends me back to when I was trying to catch Ho-Oh in SoulSilver and it just did not want to be caught. I tried for so long and on one occasion it fainted from struggle recoil because the battle just dragged on that long. On the plus side I got to hear a lot of its rad theme and I did eventually catch it.
I remember someone once saying that the only instructions they were given when composing this was to write a piece so Japanese you need to take your shoes off while listening to it and I so agree with that
Am I the only one who thinks a 2D 8-bit Pokemon game with 8-bit music and actuallly good moving sprite animations would be cool? Like, it's hard to explain but I think something like that would be awesome.
You know what I think would be cool? Either the original Pursuit theme from the Ace Attorney games, or Battle Aqua/Magma Leader from Emerald/ORAS, either version (since the original doesn’t go from 0 to 100, and the remake just sounds amazing). Or pretty much anything Bran has put out thus far. Recently found all this and I’m loving it.
Ah yes the first time I realized that Legendaries were Ball Horders cuz it took nearly all my Ultra, Dusk, and Heavy Balls. At least I was jamming through out it
I like them both alot but i prefer lugia cause water and stuff. But Ho-oh´s theme is waaaaaaaaay better like damn. I sat there for 5 minutes before even attacking it the first time cause it was so good
Oh boy, using the... pulse? Pulse or triangle channel, it's hard to tell them apart here. But at the beginning, using one of them to assist the pitched percussion, I'm jealous of just how well you know famitracker my mans

Part of why HGSS are the best remakes in the series, imo.
@@spindash64 Haha, Diamond and Pearl-wait
In “beasts” try taking out the first s mate
DoodleWill also amazing character design. Especially 2D art over the 3D
Love how gen 4 has bunch of connections to last 3 gen especially gen 2
That percussion/bass combo is just beyond comprehension holy crap
I guess you could say that this take on Ho-oh's theme is Sacred Fire.
God dammit you're right
Love that move spammed it all the way to red during his fight and a bit past it was a good move
You sure have a Heart of Gold with these jokes huh?
If he did Lugia's theme the same way you could say it's an aeroblast (sorry that was bad)
Daniel Ripple It’s fine, I was still *blown* away by that joke
I misread that as "Oh-no Battle" and had a good laugh. "Legendary" remix as always!
Di-oh
Dio
If you're playing Soul Silver, it kind of is the "Oh no" battle because THAT FUCKER IS LEVEL 70.
Tusk You thought you where going to battle Ho-Oh, but it was me! *DIO!*
Fact: if you listen to it at 1.25x speed it makes it 10 times better
This song singlehandedly made me like Ho-Oh a whole lot more. It’s so imposing and majestic! And you did a great job at keeping that feeling strong in this cover!
branflakes is a Legendary Pokemon himself
This needs to be hearted

0:38 is amazing. Good job with this mix!
Oh my gosh, this is amazing! Ho-Oh is one of my favorite legendaries, and its theme is golden... and this remix is just sacred!
I also like ho-oh More than lugia
Sacred....Fire?
@@abitofsupport601 Yep, that was my idea! You could also take it from "Sacred Ash" (Ho-Oh's equipped item in Pokémon GSC), but "Sacred Fire" works as well.
You keep pushing the boundaries of what I thought was even possible on NES.
That percussion. It's unreal.
That is the FDS that would sound like this, the NES doesn't quite have the proper setup in its sound channels to do this.
Every song you choose to cover is so incredible I can't even request
i don't know why i didn't listen to this until now but that N163 bass is actually legendary. god cover
0:19 shocked me at how GOOD the transition was
Battle Ho-Oh is my favorite pokemon song! I was so stoked to see you remixer it!
Thanks!
Ho-Oh has always had one of the best themes. You certainly did it justice, this slaps.
HOLY FUCK THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG. I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED THIS
This is fantastic. Lugia’s theme next?
the Kimono Girl intro would be FIRE
Your comment has 151 likes. I am very tempted to ruin that gen 1 dex number and give you a like.
@@demondude1237 too late
@@punkipatchmusic Buttsnack.
This has always been one of my favorite pokemon themes, this is so awesome!
This music is engraved in my brain after using 80 ultra balls on ho-oh
Oh lawd.
Dude you did this perfect! It sounds chiptune (8-bit I think) without losing the core instruments and overall sound!
Very impressive.
This would be the GB Sounds version of the theme...
*IF IT HAD ONE!*
I wish that this was Ho-oh battle theme in gold because of this.

@@nickstory7738 it didn't happen since Gen 2 in general was already a GIGANTIC game for the Gameboy.

That N163 bass is so good wtf I love it
The more pronounced melody really helps this track a ton. I daresay this is better than the original!
I can't get over how amazing this sounds! Awesome job! 👀👏
I have always loved the Ho-Oh Battle Theme, it is amazing!

You mean HeartGold, SoulSilver is the one with Lugia.
@@nickstory7738 Lugia is the cover legendary but you can get Ho-Oh in the postgame.
One of the reasons HG SS is considered so great lmao
I remember someone once saying that the only instructions they were given when composing this was to write a piece so Japanese you need to take your shoes off while listening to it and I so agree with that
This is so beautiful, my ears are crying
The perc in this song alone, just perfect
This sends chills up my spine. You did this theme the justice it deserves
how is this so much better it is than the original. Keep up the good work
Yesssss!
Best legendary theme , made to match the original games.
Lovely idea, and execution is as good as usual
Good job!
Nostalgia just slapped me so hard across the face it sent me back to Jotho
This theme was one of the reasons I was happy to have chosen HeartGold over SoulSilver back in the day.
One of my favorite tracks ever, and so nostalgic
Imagine if the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal had this theme.
"It is I who nuts to that"
Sadly due to limitations, this theme would have to be simplified a bit, but if this were in the game, it would get so much more recognition.
I never knew I needed this until right now.
branflakes this is so cool i can't get this smile off my face
This is an underrated theme imo. It's great to see remixes of this theme
NNNNNNNNNNICE!!!!!
I LOVE THIS! So well done!
That was _majestic._
very good, as always
I love this! Thanks for making this!
God, I love your content
Raise your hand if you are one of the 3 people out there who prefer Ho-Oh over Lugia. 🙋

Ho-oh's theme in Pokémon Heartgold is AWESOME. I love this remix!!
Holy crap you nailed this
This is fire
Pun intended

This is pretty good! Can’t wait for Lugia’s next
YES
IVE BEEN WAITING
YAAAAAAS
You’re really good at these covers. It sounds like they really would belong on the nes.
This hit immediately! Well done!!!
This sounds pretty sick.
I miss HG... thank you for making such a good music!
I actually prefer this 8 bit version over the original. It's way more intense and I love it!
Oh sheesh this theme hits so hard in 8 bit xD
This is amazing!
It's said that branflakes lives at the end of the rainbow...
Your videos are awesome!
i'm in love
It sounds like a shovel knight boss theme! And I like it
Amazing
Very well done! :)
Ah yes the first time I realized that Legendaries were Ball Horders cuz it took nearly all my Ultra, Dusk, and Heavy Balls. At least I was jamming through out it
I've listened to this like 50 times today
Amazing man,
Incredible!
再現度が凄く高い!
funny, earlier today i listened to ho-oh’s theme for the first time in a while
ah, yes. the best pokemon battle theme.
So cool!
The pokemon prism version is to OP, but your version is full love
All hail Mega-Ultra-Chicken
great work! Please make more of it
That chiptune slap bass tho
Didn’t expect this, thank you for the nostalgia 😅😭
*Shovel Knight influences intensify*
The wild HO-OH used Sacred Fire!
Im a bigger fan of Lugia and dont like Ho-Oh at all but its battle theme slaps and so does this remix
Eclipse
I prefer Lugia too, but I still like Ho-Oh
But is Big Bird
I like them both alot but i prefer lugia cause water and stuff. But Ho-oh´s theme is waaaaaaaaay better like damn. I sat there for 5 minutes before even attacking it the first time cause it was so good
Oh my god if you covered Windmill Isle (Day) from Sonic Unleashed that would be incredible
YOOO this JAMS
Oh boy, using the... pulse? Pulse or triangle channel, it's hard to tell them apart here. But at the beginning, using one of them to assist the pitched percussion, I'm jealous of just how well you know famitracker my mans
Too good for the GBC... MUST BE FOR A SWITCH REMAKE. SOOOOO GOOD.
(x15 times later) That was trully awesome.
Certified slappy
Ooooooohhhh heck, I love that!
Maybe because my very first Pokemon game was Pokemon Heartgold.💟
The best branflakes cover for the best legendary.
Ho-Oh: the Rainbow Pokemon. Has only 3 colors, not including black and white.
Also, the music is great.
He don't miss
How do you make all these complicated songs work so well in 8-bit?? I usually don't like 8-bit remixes, yours are the exception 'cause they are so good! Hi from Venezuela :D

I love how you have to manually input vibratos. I really think it's fascinating how older games were developed and 8bit music.
cool!
