Vezix Haikal I have played them and I do love generation 5. The generation 2 remakes just seemed to perfectly book end the first period of the series. You return to Kanto, get one of each sets of starters, battle Red.
Josh Nicholson yeap , its perfect send off to gen 4 truly one of my favourite, i do love the little touch of when walking there is walking noise, gen 5 blows me away with moving sprite and more stuff that im lazy to type down hahaha
Truly the end of an era. I enjoyed S&M, but no 3D Pokemon games to date have brought me the same joy that Generation 5 did. I hope the Switch games can capture the magic of the 2D Pokemon world again
To all those people saying BW ending was way better, just remember this song is the last ending theme of the 5th Gen. It's here for the 5th Gen. to say goodbye, and for the trainer to reminisce on their past accomplishments. The BW theme was basically saying, this ain't over yet! this song is all about goodbyes. Goodbye 5th Gen!
To me, it's not just for fifth gen, but it's saying goodbye to an era of Pokémon. Once generation six hit, cries, shiny rates, other algorithms changed, the graphics changed, the music and the overall feel changed.
NOOOOO WHY DOES GEN 5 HAVE TO END, GEN 5 WAS THE GEN THAT INTRODUCED ME TO POKÉMON AND THE FRANCHISE!!!! I LOVE YOU GEN 5!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! AND MY SAWK, AND MY O.P. SNIVY, AND MY GIGALITH, DARMANITAN, PALPITOAD, MUSHARNA, BEARTIC, MY O.P. TEPIG AND OSHOWATT! AND MANY MORE TO NAME!!!!!
Black Death/CGarcia21853 Your comment is freaking 5 years late. You should be here and say something like “why does gen 7 have to end.” Or “good by 3DS pokemon games.”
@@dko9652 The new games are amazing, but nothing can compare to the soundtracks, art, and memories of gens 4 &5 (and for some people older gens). I love the look of the pixel sprites and find them so much more lively
unova. my home region. never have I felt so attached to a region or generation as I have to 5th gen and these credits always bring up tears of joy as well as the ruby, sapphire and emerald credits
Even though I started in Gen 4, Unova will always be my comfort region. Both games were such an amazing experience, something I unfortunately haven't found in any Pokemon game since. I really hope the newer games improve because Pokemon seems to be on the decline in quality and effort and I don't want it to go
@@afarensis9720 Literally, same. Pearl was my first game, and I never thought any other Pokémon game could possibly replace it as my favorite-right up until I started playing Black 2 three months ago. I just beat the Elite Four yesterday, and let me tell you, no other game has taken my breath away more than this one did. And I've been to all the other regions except for Paldea. Now Pokémon Black 2 is my new favorite game, and Unova will forever be my new favorite region!
Every time I see "The End" on my screen, I think the game series is truly over, and I get all sad and depressed about it. Then I tell myself, "No, they'll have another one, don't worry."
I should note something: the last seconds of the track... It's the main Pokemon theme. When I first heard that bit, the tears would not stop flowing. I was like, "now THAT is a callback to the past".
Justin Yang Huh. I don't recall it in GSC or RSE. Maybe because I would skip the credits, I dunno. But even so, it's still quite an emotional callback in this particular track.
I am really depressed. Unova was just so amazing.It's as if I'm six years old again picking up Pokémon Red for the first time. The story is amazing. The gyms? Amazing. The music, amazing. I NEVER had doubts this was going to be good. Game Freak did not disappoint. And by the way, I loved Hugh. He showed up when he needed to, instead of when my Pokémon were almost dead. Lets keep the legacy going Game Freak.
@Dragooll X and Y weren't bad, but I don't have much interest on returning to it. ORAS are the same deal. Not very memorable to me. The first 4 hours of Sun and Moon are awful. And Ultra are even worse, somehow. SwSh are such bare video games. No style. Little substance. I don't know if I'm willing to play these games if the next game or next generation doesn't pick it up in every area. The music was aight. The graphics and presentation were under achieving. The typing and Pokémon were cool, but that's about it. I have no interest in returning. At all. I'm depressed again, but because the games have been on a sharp decline for years now. I'm not sure how much worse they could get.
this was a beautiful credit song. not only to a end of B2W2 but the end of the DS games. farewell diamond/pearl/platnium/heart gold/SoulSilver/black/white/black 2/white 2. you will forever be in a place in my memories and my heart 😊
4:50 Always...I will always be moved by this little, seemingly minuscule melody. To me, it represents the curtain call... the grand finale... the wholehearted ending... to what is, in my onion, the greatest era of Pokémon we ever had: the DS era. Goodbye, D/P/Pt, Hg/Ss, B/W, and B2/W2. You will all forever be my favorite main series Pokémon games.... *ever.* ❤
Remember this is the last game ever game freak took actual effort to complete man I am crying remembering when I got my copy of white 2 and spent literally over 500 hours in that game I lived in it. I love unova
And then the initial reaction (mostly from genwunners as this was the start of their rise to stupidity) took their biggest passion project and shat all over it. And it's not like they're NOT putting in effort now, they just refuse to have a larger team for larger (due to 3D) games.
Its actually so sad, because in the x and y beta files, it was found that they had planned to make sequels for those games too! But (and this is just speculation to be fair, the company hasn't outright said this) since B2W2 sold *half* as well as BW, treated similarly in terms of sales numbers as say a platinum, emerald or crystal despite the amount of effort they out into it, they gave up on making sequels entirely :( just not profitable... (Lets be fair, ultra sun ultra moon weren't sequels) Credit to the theory to the youtuber "tyranitartube"
@@tael64 I'd love to see N return in a newer Pokemon game. And not just as a cameo like Grimsley in Sun and Moon, I want him to actually play a role in the story

Man just imagine the absolute roll Pokemon must have been on between 2006-2012. Like they had just come off of ending Gen 3 by celebrating their 10th anniversary with Gen 1 remakes and then went on to produce D&P and then follow that up with a deluxe addition a year later with Platinum. Then they released remakes to the most expansive games in the franchise and then Gen 5 began with the best entries in the series, showcasing they had mastered the DS hardware and could use it too its full potential *Ending it with this Mangus Opus of a game*
BW1 End Theme - Bold end to a journey while leaving you with an adventurous tone for the sequels BW2 End Theme - While still having some adventurous spirit, it leaves you with a sense of joyous finality
@@skincaresoap I actually agree with you. These beautiful companions that brought us through this amazing adventure don't need megas or dynamax or anything of that sort. They'll always go down in history as the ones who saw us to the end of the 2D pokemon era with grace and style.
These are by far my favorite Pokémon games... I still play them regularly. Sun and Moon were good but Unova is where my heart remains.... side note: Who else heard N's room theme hidden in the credits?
I'm listening to this again just after beating Iris and man this game, the music, and this ending credits are amazing. I also feel like the ending credits theme really shows what type of person your character is. He/She took the time to run back and check up on how everyone was doing after you won the champion title. And also can we say the mother in this game is the best one. I'm assuming she heard word of our character becoming the champion of the unova region, and she waited outside for her child to return home. What a caring mother
@@TonberryQueenas a massive HGSS fan I don't think they are quite up there mainly because they were remake of an already kinda bad gen, GSC was supposed to be the last Pokémon game so in order to include Kanto they screwed up quite some things, mainly for me is Pokémon distribution, because I'm almost always forced to rely on at least a gen 1 Pokémon whenever I play in Johto, Nidoking or Gyarados or a Fire type or a Flying/Ground/Rock type because all the cool ones are either way too late or just locked behind kanto (Why houndoom...) And the level curve but for that i don't really mind tbh.
@@malick9549 I disagree (the new eeveelutions are awesome to me, as well as some new ones like natu/xatu and the starters), but it's not everyone's bag. To each their own.
@@TonberryQueen I didn't say I dislike Johto pokemon in fact I like them a lot but I just don't see why some are locked behind stupid requirements like reaching Mt silver and at that point you have already completed the whole game, shit they made a new type to counter ghost and psychic and then they locked every single one of the pokemon having said type except for umbreon which has terrible attack behind kanto(and Tyranitar and Sneasel are locked behind MT silver except for Sneasel in Crystal)At least in HGSS Sneasel and technically also Larvitar are available before the e4 but it's still a stupid move, and why would they also lock the evolutionary stones?
The more the years go by, the more emotional this theme feels. All those good times playing this in high school. This was my go to Pokemon for the longest time and now.....It's a game I cherish with all my heart. This game knocked it out of the park. And I'll forever thank it for that.
bro same, as a kid i always used to play white 2, i remember my sister begging me to give her an oshawott, looking back at it now. those games helped shape my childhood.
when sad lay down try not to cry CRY A LOT Im actually tearing up though from this theme I love you forever 2d games, my soulsilver that started the whole adventure, and black and white and black and white 2 which made me want to continue the games no matter how bad others said they were at the time I Kept on playing and loving them, they made me appreciate stories in games, and charaters in them. Dear Gamefreak please re look these games over when doing the one day games that might me Diamond and pearl remakes, lets go johto, Black and white 3, gen 9, maybe in Pokemon z. You have tons of oppurtunities dont waste them by making dlcs or wasting potential just make them like the 2d with better 3d graphics and everyone would be happy
BW ending: You have stoped Ghetsis and his plans... But is it over? Pray for a true peace in Unova! BW2 ending: With Ghetsis finally defeated, Rosa/Nate argeous fight agnaist Team Plasma has ended. However, in the vast regions of the world, this victory is just a twinkle of a star, spreading the light of hope through the darkness...
I played that theme for the first time after I graduated from college which was happened two days ago. That was indeed the end of my academic saga and the beginning of my new saga. Perfectly timed.
The Unova games aren't as high up for me as they used to be, but one thing these games did get right were the end credits themes. This is easily the best end credits theme in the entire main series lineup, and THAT is some high praise given how incredible the Hoenn credits theme is.
I like the difference in story structure between the unova games. In BW, beating the elite 4 and N and Ghetsis didn’t feel like a grand final, put a bow on it journey ender. The whole Plasma plot kinda robbed the player of that experience, and the credits theme reflects that, being more like a “good job, but there’s still more” type of vibe. In B2W2, you get to finish the Plasma plot before your championship battles, and Iris’s theme reflects that, being pretty comforting and easygoing, fun, exhibition match feeling. And the credits song does it better, it feels like “there’s more for you to do, but stopping now is completely understandable. You deserve it.”
This gives you the "OK, everything's wrapped up here" classic feel that every other Pokemon game EXCEPT FOR B/W has had, because things were mainly done. B/W had such an epic theme because it was unlike any other game. It was giving that "Keep the journey alive!" feel, because it was indeed, as we later found out, not the end. THAT is why B/W has such an epic theme. But it doesn't matter, as they all are the final piece of music you hear in every game, which wraps up a great game every time.
Man, Imma be honest. Pokémon Black and White were my childhood. They were the first Pokémon games I ever played. They’re still my favorite Pokémon games to this day. Just yesterday, I beat Pokémon White 2 for the first time. It was like I was a kid again. The excitement of getting my shiny Tepig for my starter, stepping onto route 19 for the first time, having my first gym battle again.. It was all surreal. When this theme played, I cried. I still cry when I hear it. To me, I feel it doesn’t just mean the ending of the game, but the end to my childhood as well. Thank you, Pokémon, for being such an influential part of my life.
Accelgor - Doober Eelektross - Yoomby Golurk - Gurren Escavallier - Ted Chandalure - C.Randall (C was for candle) Mienshao - Miau By far my favorite team I've ever used
I got to this point after 144 hours. I was on a call with my friends at the time I beat Iris, and I had to mute my mic, as I began to cry. I didn't want this game to end, and this song was adding to the effect. Its a shame that Game Freak is too lazy to make gems like this game nowadays, and it makes me sad to know that there are people in the world who dislike this gen. I want this to happen again. I want there to be another game like this to bring out my true self. Another gen 5. And even as I write this comment, I begin to tear up. I don't understand the amount of brain damage the 12 people who disliked this have.
I know how you feel. As one who spent over 400 hours in gen 5, I absolutely love it because of how much sheer passion was put into everything. Every time I hear this I cant help but feel so much for how this was the end for gen 5 and pokemon passion
@@Quasi lmao. Also Sr means 'Soft reset'. It's where you hit l+r+start and it basically automatically closes and reopens the game to your last save. I'm using it to try and get Shiny Virizion.
If they ever remake gen 5 someday in the future (they still haven't even remade gen 4 so it will be a while) It shouldn't be a usual remake but instead Black 3 and White 3 it would make sense since Gen 5 did have a 3rd version but direct sequels to the first two games, so logically the remakes should be sequels too
While i really did enjoy my time with games beyond gen 5 like ORAS, SM/USUM, Legends Arceus and even SV. Man, Generation 5 is just where pokemon is at their best. The attention to detail, the challenge and the love poured into these games is truly unmatched. I wished Gamefreak made another pokemon game as good these games are again..well imo Legends Arceus came super close lmao
This song is much better than Black 1 and White 1’s ending theme, but if they remade Black and White for Nintendo Switch or a future console (most likely in the late 2020’s), the first ending will play after you beat the Elite Four and Champion just once, and the ending in this video will play after you beat the Elite Four and Champion a second time, possibly.
I’m graduating high school in about a week. I remember about ten years ago that I used to look forward to come home and play this game everyday. The credits carry the same “goodbye theme” for me during graduation that they did in the game. I’m not ready guys. I’m not ready to say goodbye to my childhood :(
Today was the day of my graduation ceremony. My last day of school was Friday, but today was my real graduation. I decided to listen to this… and I bursted into tears
This theme alone cemented this game as my favorite pokemon game of all time. Seeing the main character going back to all the cities where he faced the gym leaders was really cool and i'm pretty sure it's the only game that does this. And then the final scene where we see N looking at the horizon was just perfect. I love this game.
My beloved B2W2. You will forever be special to me as that first big push to start playing video games, and I’ve never been happier. So many friends met, so many memories made, all because you sucked me into gaming. This game is amazing and I still love it so much. If I ever had a top ten favorite games of all time, this is top three immediately.
Kryssy128 Or maybe it's because "to our respective futures" feels more like the adventure's truly beginning, while these credit music marked the end of the adventure. You defeated Team Plasma for good. You went to go fight the Elite Four. And you get this music as a reward for a calm ending.
@@Kryssy128 Black and White 2 were definitely more serious than the 1st games. Team plasma went from trying to sway people over with speeches, to nearly freezing an entire city
I still keep coming back to Black and White every now and then. Can’t exactly say I'll do the same with any of the more recent games. The magic is gone... But Black and White is a timeless masterpiece that time will never be able to even scratch
Now after all these years. I’ve come back to this game and beat it in honor of never being able to beat it when I was younger. Black 2 was my first Pokémon game and will always hold a special place in my heart.
I was a stupid kid I left the Pokemon series right when these games were revealed. I didn't like gen 5 because I couldn't use any of the Pokemon I was used to and the fact that they were making a direct sequel made me mad. I left for a couple of years until X and Y came out and I started to miss Pokemon. I ended up buying a copy of Y and having a blast playing through it. My love for the series had returned. I later decided to try to give gen 5 a second chance, I saved my money and got a copy of White. I was blown away the story was like nothing I had seen before, the music and sound effects were on point making the world feel so alive and I started to love the Pokemon too. After finishing I wanted so badly to play White 2. I don't quite remember how but I did get a copy and It was breathe taking too. Now its my favorite Pokemon game and Unova is my favorite region. I'm currently 16 years old and I can say with pride that I'm a Pokemon fan. I love this games I'm glad I gave them a second chance.
Currently replaying through all of the generations in order and even though I'm only on emerald at the moment, I can't wait to get to the gen v games as Pokemon Black was the game that really got me into Pokemon and it's been awhile since I played them.
My first Pokemon game. Hitting the feels Edit: it was also my first game ever. Black 2 specifically. I bought it on ebay recently for $150 after not playing it for years after I sold it. I got it when I was 10 and I'm now 21, having bought the game again just before my 21st birthday
B/W's ending: "Congratulations! You defeated Team Plasma... but the threat might still be lurking... so BE READY!" B2/W2's ending: "Congratulations! You've defeated Neo TP, stopped Black/White Kyurem, and defeated the new Champion. You've got some more goodies ahead of you, but the worst is over. You've earned it :)"
I honestly miss the sprites and original style of Pokemon it had a curtain feel that could not be replaced by a 3D model, and for some reason the sprites in battle feel more alive than the stale models of most Pokemon now, it truly saddens me.
@@Tmasta24 x and y sky battles are the result of most of the flying type remodels, i also wish to see gamefreak remake their models to make them look a bit less lifeless
Lyrics that I made up: As it ends... A melody rings as it ends... Saying goodbye to your old friends... I can't believe the era is already over... But I believe that this is the beginning of a new era! Goodbye, and hello! This is the end, but yet it's not I feel like this is a new beginning. I feel, I feel sad but still happy Because I know that this is just a new beginning for a new era! Now I sing, happiness filling my heart! Can't you see that this is part Part of moving on from the past I see, I see a new journey! A journey just for you and me! Oh how I'll miss the good ol days, oh! The melody still rings within our hearts As we still journey on our separate journeys Oh I'll never forget this moment! Ends are for new beginnings! Will we meet again? Who knows... I don't know but... I'll still sing! As the melody rings! I guess this is truly goodbye! So, I will sing my little song! The goodbyes still linger on! And I am still singing for you! Forever! The melody still rings within our hearts As we still journey on our separate journeys Oh I'll never forget this moment! Ends are for new beginnings! Will we meet again? Who knows... I don't know but... I'll still sing! Oh... I will never ever forget the journeys we've had Goodbyes make me saddest of all I'm still singing! Oh, how I'll miss you! A melody rings as it ends! Saying hello to your new friends! I can't believe a new era started! Goodbye! And hello! The melody still rings within our hearts As we still journey on our separate journeys Oh I'll never forget this moment! Ends are for new beginnings! Will we meet again? Who knows... I don't know but... I'll still sing! Now I sing, happiness filling my heart! Can't you see that this is part Part of moving towards the future? Oh, I never wanted to say goodbye! I think I might actually cry! The melody rings as it ends But then a new journey Begins at the same time
This was the end of our truly and loved pokemon games, after that pokemon never will be the same. 3d graphics sucks... Pokemon is my favorite game since I was a little girl. this song is like a punch. This is too much to be honest... i have pokemon games and I still play this... i can't say goodbye... I just can't... i love this a lot. and this mean a lot to me.... well just saying..
I could not have said that better myself :') glad someong shares my love for black, white, black 2, and white 2. GameFreak is in a very deadly hole that they need to out of. the 3d graphics are okayish... nothing to hate on.... but the story is just the SAME. THING. EVERY. TIME. Why can't we have another masterpiece like this? I'm actually on the verge of crying right now as I type this... *sigh*...
the story was just so amazing.... I don't know, the story really mean something, more than just a game....Pokemon Black and white and black and white 2 just hit my feelings like a bullet. I'm not okay to say goodbye. Thinking about N's life and all the journy makes me so sad. I felt like a real trainer. l always felt like this. We need more than just a "pokemon game" we need something to make history.
Irina Sousa Sigh... unfortunately it'll probably never happen because of all the hate b/w/b2/w2 got just because they were "different." People claimed that at that point, GameFreak was "running out of ideas" when in reality, Gen 5 was by far the most creative and innovative. I don't really think the fans know WHAT they frickin want.
Since I was a kid, I loved Pokemon Black and White, because of the cartoon, but the games...are such a amazing games! We need to enjoy this right now, because in the future..maybe we don't remember this things that make us happy since our childhood, hope that everyone is reaching their ideals.
Damn this one hit really hard because it’s not only a send off to generation 5 but to the whole entire 2D Pokémon games. Growing up with gen 4 and gen 5 I must say this brings some tears to my eye because it’s an end of an incredible era of Pokémon. I feel like after gen 5, Pokémon hasn’t been the same since, or at least for me it didn’t. :(
This song is just jam-packed full of emotion. I can't even put it into words. I've just now only played through pokemon White 2 . But I can still feel the nostalgia in this song. My 1st pokemon game was pokemon White, so it has the same sort of vibe. I still remember playing that cartridge. Unfortunately, i dont have it anymore. I remember for some odd reason, I ditched my starter right off the bat and chose Lillipup. It worked out pretty well. Up until the league Cause a team of an overleveled stoutland and 5 underleved pokemon wasn't going to cut it. I ended up losing over and over again until finally I decided to just to give up(i was an idiot who didn't understand the concept of exp) and just let my friend borrow it after that i completely forget about it for about 4-5 years and Over the years we had grown more and more distant so I hadn't seen him in quite a while. when I reached out to him, he had no clue where it was, and I completely understood. It had been 5 years after all. I'm still not sure why, but this song really speaks to me. I've listened to it over and over quite often. There's just something about it. I dont know why, but it really brings me back Sidenote: While writing this, I believe I understand why this song meant so much to me. It's basically got all of the vibes of unova packed into one tune also its a credit theme, so it doesn't loop it can keep going. Unlike other town themes and such And as others have stated it was the perfect song to end the generation of 2d sprite based pokemon game the series really has been lacking since the move to the switch And after seeing Scarlett and Violet I'm probably done with this series unless they can really turn things around Which is highly unlikely and what's even more sad Is that black and white are probably are going to be remade faithfully by ILCA. Nate and Rosa's outfits are going to be put in as early purchase bonuses, which disgusts me because of how terrible bdsp was. I wish that they'd actually put some effort into their work and not rush things out the door as soon as possible, or if not that, leave these games untouched. They're fine the way they are right now and I don't think they need remade, at least not for a long time. I doubt anyone's gonna read this, but i needed to put it somewhere... and if you are someone who read this , Thank you, it really means a lot!🙂
Ahhh man I am Always sad when I played this game or hear the ending theme because it makes me clear that this is the last 2D based game and also how much time has passed since I played this as a 7 year old Boy...RIP 2D based games
Alas, an end to the best Pokemon games to ever exist. I just hope Sun and Moon stray away from the boring old formula like Gen 5 did, but I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. :/ I want emotion, not just catching em all and beatin the elite four.
Don't worry It already looks awesome, there's no way they will let this one be bad in any way, its the 20th anniversary its gonna be really good. Plus this time Masuda's head director it'll be fine.
Andrew Cotter this comment is five months later, but what are your thoughts with the info released so far about Sun & Moon. Is it living up to your expectations? It certainly doesn't seem like it follows the same formula imo.
This was my first pokemon game. I played it for about 2 months before giving up after getting stuck on a gym. 4 years later I go back, beat the gym and play a little more, and then get mad again and stop playing. 1 year later and I finally beat the game. What an amazing game and I'm so glad of all the memories it gave me.
i would always play this on the last day of school in my headphones. i would never feel emotionally attached to my teachers or piers, until the last day, and even then it was only when this theme would play. but when it would, i would tear up a bit…. wasnt till my senior year that i just started balling, knowing i wouldn’t see most of those people again. knowing that i didnt make any friends, even though i was in the same school system since kindergarten. knowing that no one would reflect and remember me. and knowing that i was on my own, to make my own new friends. remembering this glorious game would always cheer me up at least
I don't understand why either, solid story, decent Pokémon designs (a few exeptions but every gen has a few bad apples) great music and characters etc. It was actually kind of sad the first time I beat the game.
Fallout Theorist Yup. I wanna replay White 2, but I'm too lazy. I need White ASAP. But they cost like $100 online. I regret starting Pokemon in the B2W2 era instead of BW.
I LOVE the use of leitmotief (the reusing of themes) at the ending of the credits, when the leaf falls it plays the exact same notes as it did at the very start of the game.
You know, last summer I made the decision to try and complete as much of the medal rally as possible. A lot of that entailed the challenge medals, requiring you to beat the Elite 4 repeatedly. This has always been a favorite game, but the medal rally made me love it even more. I was forced to discover more things about the game, use pokemon I've never used, do things in it I've never done...and after every league victory, we go back to this song...and then right back to discovering/trying new things. It's magical.
I cant describe it,but everytime I listen to this song it brings suppresed memories of nostalgia for me. It makes me feel all warm inside and I dont know why. I just want to say thank you Game Freak and to many more pokemon games
This was the last great generation for me. I just lost interest in Pokemon after Gen 5. Part of it was because X/Y and Sun/Moon felt rushed, and just didn't seem to have the magic anymore. ORAS made me smile, but that was mostly nostalgia. Another was, after burning myself out raising a team for the Pokemon World Tournament, I realized I hated all the breeding. I wanted to take on those endgame challenges with the Pokemon I'd raised through my journey, not the product of dozens of hours of eugenics. Another major problem is that you couldn't rematch trainers, which made grinding a pain. At least Gen 5 had places like the stadiums in Nimbasa. Grinding against Wild Pokemon was just painfully slow. It got so bad that I didn't even finish Pokemon Moon. I just don't want to put effort into a game I'm just going to drop after I beat it, especially knowing that the Battle Tree kept the same, bland 3-on-3 formula that I disliked. When I first heard this song, I was disappointed that it wasn't like BW's ending theme. Now, looking back, if I'd known it was the end of Pokemon's Golden Age, I'd have appreciated it more. If Pokemon gave us a methods to make it so we didn't have to go through so much trouble to get great, battle ready Pokemon, I'd play it again. But, that's never going to happen, sadly.
Let's hope that Pokemon on Switch brings back that magic, I agree, there's just a feeling of something missing when playing the 3DS games that you never felt from gen 1-5
@@keeysOST Let's go was subpar at best, and though they said it was essentially a one-off game, the atmosphere will most likely carry over into the next generation anyways even if the mechanics don't
Even know I can safely feel some type of way about Black/White 1/2, and how its still the peak of Pokemon. The nostalgia from listening to this still gives me goosebumps.
This isn't a theme for the end of a game. No, it signifies the end of an era.
+Tael the Mask Salesman era of an actual good pokemon game
+Vezix Haikal I always thought of Heartgold as the end of an era.
Josh Nicholson apparently u havent play Bw and Bw2
Vezix Haikal I have played them and I do love generation 5. The generation 2 remakes just seemed to perfectly book end the first period of the series. You return to Kanto, get one of each sets of starters, battle Red.
Josh Nicholson yeap , its perfect send off to gen 4 truly one of my favourite, i do love the little touch of when walking there is walking noise,
gen 5 blows me away with moving sprite and more stuff that im lazy to type down hahaha
This was the best possible sendoff to the 2D world of Pokémon...
Truly the end of an era. I enjoyed S&M, but no 3D Pokemon games to date have brought me the same joy that Generation 5 did. I hope the Switch games can capture the magic of the 2D Pokemon world again

To all those people saying BW ending was way better, just remember this song is the last ending theme of the 5th Gen. It's here for the 5th Gen. to say goodbye, and for the trainer to reminisce on their past accomplishments. The BW theme was basically saying, this ain't over yet! this song is all about goodbyes. Goodbye 5th Gen!
I agree with you completely!
To me, it's not just for fifth gen, but it's saying goodbye to an era of Pokémon. Once generation six hit, cries, shiny rates, other algorithms changed, the graphics changed, the music and the overall feel changed.
Yes, a whole era of Pokémon was ended with this song. Though, I am looking forward to the future.
NOOOOO WHY DOES GEN 5 HAVE TO END, GEN 5 WAS THE GEN THAT INTRODUCED ME TO POKÉMON AND THE FRANCHISE!!!! I LOVE YOU GEN 5!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! AND MY SAWK, AND MY O.P. SNIVY, AND MY GIGALITH, DARMANITAN, PALPITOAD, MUSHARNA, BEARTIC, MY O.P. TEPIG AND OSHOWATT! AND MANY MORE TO NAME!!!!!
Black Death/CGarcia21853 Your comment is freaking 5 years late. You should be here and say something like “why does gen 7 have to end.” Or “good by 3DS pokemon games.”
RIP 2D Pokemon games.. You guys were all amazing in your own respective ways.. 1995 - 2012
ikr XY/ORAS/SM graphics are cool but i wish i started pixel arting like 5 years ago
They are still doing pixel art in 2017, look on the SM models in the game, pixeled, the battle sprites are HQ pixelish images.
The golden era of pokemon has also ended in 2012
The 2D is still there
you just can't see it
look closer
it's made of pixels too.
So don't be sad.
@@dko9652 The new games are amazing, but nothing can compare to the soundtracks, art, and memories of gens 4 &5 (and for some people older gens). I love the look of the pixel sprites and find them so much more lively
I'm really going to miss the sprite based games.
Not because I like the sprites more than the 3D models, but... God, the soundfonts are amazing.
I agree
However, I disagree! (jkjk)
luckily the sun and moon soundfont is similar
Soupah Mario Fuck,after Sun and Moon Im replaying these.Why?Why Not?
although i do like the sprites more than the 3d models
though sun and moon are tenfold better than x and y's
unova. my home region. never have I felt so attached to a region or generation as I have to 5th gen and these credits always bring up tears of joy as well as the ruby, sapphire and emerald credits
Stan Cipher me to I'm unavailable for life! The ending scene with your mom is also too tearful!
Even though I started in Gen 4, Unova will always be my comfort region. Both games were such an amazing experience, something I unfortunately haven't found in any Pokemon game since. I really hope the newer games improve because Pokemon seems to be on the decline in quality and effort and I don't want it to go
@@afarensis9720 Literally, same. Pearl was my first game, and I never thought any other Pokémon game could possibly replace it as my favorite-right up until I started playing Black 2 three months ago. I just beat the Elite Four yesterday, and let me tell you, no other game has taken my breath away more than this one did. And I've been to all the other regions except for Paldea. Now Pokémon Black 2 is my new favorite game, and Unova will forever be my new favorite region!
so dramatic its literally just rat filled new york and i deffo can't hear this magical theme when riding the subway of nyc
B/W's theme epic
B/W's 2 theme moving for me
Every time I see "The End" on my screen, I think the game series is truly over, and I get all sad and depressed about it. Then I tell myself, "No, they'll have another one, don't worry."
But it was the end of the 2d games...
And the end of a beautifull gen
It was the end of something truly beautiful (the sprite-based games)
and that’s what counts
For me the actual end was the US/UM ending because I'm not buying a switch lol
8 years later, are you proud of what gamefreak has become now?
@@danielhodson6411 good because the new games are crap
I should note something: the last seconds of the track...
It's the main Pokemon theme. When I first heard that bit, the tears would not stop flowing. I was like, "now THAT is a callback to the past".
Justin Yang Huh. I don't recall it in GSC or RSE. Maybe because I would skip the credits, I dunno.
But even so, it's still quite an emotional callback in this particular track.
@@AdamEspersona it's there in both gsc and rse's ending tracks in the last few seconds. a bit difficult to spot in rse, but easy in gsc's ending track
I am really depressed. Unova was just so amazing.It's as if I'm six years old again picking up Pokémon Red for the first time. The story is amazing. The gyms? Amazing. The music, amazing. I NEVER had doubts this was going to be good. Game Freak did not disappoint. And by the way, I loved Hugh. He showed up when he needed to, instead of when my Pokémon were almost dead. Lets keep the legacy going Game Freak.
how sadly wrong you were
@Dragooll X and Y weren't bad, but I don't have much interest on returning to it. ORAS are the same deal. Not very memorable to me. The first 4 hours of Sun and Moon are awful. And Ultra are even worse, somehow.
SwSh are such bare video games. No style. Little substance. I don't know if I'm willing to play these games if the next game or next generation doesn't pick it up in every area.
The music was aight. The graphics and presentation were under achieving. The typing and Pokémon were cool, but that's about it. I have no interest in returning. At all. I'm depressed again, but because the games have been on a sharp decline for years now. I'm not sure how much worse they could get.

Always...I will always be moved by this little, seemingly minuscule melody. To me, it represents the curtain call... the grand finale... the wholehearted ending... to what is, in my onion, the greatest era of Pokémon we ever had: the DS era.
Goodbye, D/P/Pt, Hg/Ss, B/W, and B2/W2. You will all forever be my favorite main series Pokémon games.... *ever.* ❤
Remember this is the last game ever game freak took actual effort to complete man I am crying remembering when I got my copy of white 2 and spent literally over 500 hours in that game I lived in it. I love unova
And then the initial reaction (mostly from genwunners as this was the start of their rise to stupidity) took their biggest passion project and shat all over it.
And it's not like they're NOT putting in effort now, they just refuse to have a larger team for larger (due to 3D) games.
@@jonathanflanagan1504 dude. you are the first person who notices that. like. really.
Sadly this happened again with 7th gen. People hates it and then they gave us S&S, since, Why they would make an effort if people hates the game?
Its actually so sad, because in the x and y beta files, it was found that they had planned to make sequels for those games too!
But (and this is just speculation to be fair, the company hasn't outright said this) since B2W2 sold *half* as well as BW, treated similarly in terms of sales numbers as say a platinum, emerald or crystal despite the amount of effort they out into it, they gave up on making sequels entirely :( just not profitable...
(Lets be fair, ultra sun ultra moon weren't sequels)

Man just imagine the absolute roll Pokemon must have been on between 2006-2012. Like they had just come off of ending Gen 3 by celebrating their 10th anniversary with Gen 1 remakes and then went on to produce D&P and then follow that up with a deluxe addition a year later with Platinum. Then they released remakes to the most expansive games in the franchise and then Gen 5 began with the best entries in the series, showcasing they had mastered the DS hardware and could use it too its full potential *Ending it with this Mangus Opus of a game*
BW1 End Theme - Bold end to a journey while leaving you with an adventurous tone for the sequels
BW2 End Theme - While still having some adventurous spirit, it leaves you with a sense of joyous finality
Yeah! 😢

@@skincaresoap I actually agree with you. These beautiful companions that brought us through this amazing adventure don't need megas or dynamax or anything of that sort. They'll always go down in history as the ones who saw us to the end of the 2D pokemon era with grace and style.
@Fierce Deity Exactly. We don’t need anything new or extraordinary. Just let us explore Unova again.
Pokemon BW2 was the game that introduced me to this wonderful series....
and I will always be grateful for that
you started at the peak
These are by far my favorite Pokémon games... I still play them regularly. Sun and Moon were good but Unova is where my heart remains....
side note: Who else heard N's room theme hidden in the credits?
search Jaime Ballesteros's channel
I'm listening to this again just after beating Iris and man this game, the music, and this ending credits are amazing. I also feel like the ending credits theme really shows what type of person your character is. He/She took the time to run back and check up on how everyone was doing after you won the champion title.
And also can we say the mother in this game is the best one. I'm assuming she heard word of our character becoming the champion of the unova region, and she waited outside for her child to return home. What a caring mother
Don't mind me, just here to reminisce about the glory days, since those seem to be long behind us now.
Gamefreak will never put the love and effort they put to Generation 5 ever again. B2W2 is the best mainline Pokemon game hands down.
ORAS >
HG/SS > All
Tho BW2 is totally awesome.
@@TonberryQueenas a massive HGSS fan I don't think they are quite up there mainly because they were remake of an already kinda bad gen, GSC was supposed to be the last Pokémon game so in order to include Kanto they screwed up quite some things, mainly for me is Pokémon distribution, because I'm almost always forced to rely on at least a gen 1 Pokémon whenever I play in Johto, Nidoking or Gyarados or a Fire type or a Flying/Ground/Rock type because all the cool ones are either way too late or just locked behind kanto (Why houndoom...)
And the level curve but for that i don't really mind tbh.
@@malick9549 I disagree (the new eeveelutions are awesome to me, as well as some new ones like natu/xatu and the starters), but it's not everyone's bag. To each their own.
@@TonberryQueen I didn't say I dislike Johto pokemon in fact I like them a lot but I just don't see why some are locked behind stupid requirements like reaching Mt silver and at that point you have already completed the whole game, shit they made a new type to counter ghost and psychic and then they locked every single one of the pokemon having said type except for umbreon which has terrible attack behind kanto(and Tyranitar and Sneasel are locked behind MT silver except for Sneasel in Crystal)At least in HGSS Sneasel and technically also Larvitar are available before the e4 but it's still a stupid move, and why would they also lock the evolutionary stones?

The more the years go by, the more emotional this theme feels. All those good times playing this in high school. This was my go to Pokemon for the longest time and now.....It's a game I cherish with all my heart. This game knocked it out of the park. And I'll forever thank it for that.
bro same, as a kid i always used to play white 2, i remember my sister begging me to give her an oshawott, looking back at it now. those games helped shape my childhood.
Stop, don’t make me cry at a comment
college for me
SEEING ROXIE AND HER DAD FINALLY AT PEACE WITH EACHOTHER I WAS CRYINGGGG
when sad
lay down
try not to cry
CRY A LOT
Im actually tearing up though from this theme
I love you forever 2d games, my soulsilver that started the whole adventure, and black and white and black and white 2 which made me want to continue the games no matter how bad others said they were at the time I Kept on playing and loving them, they made me appreciate stories in games, and charaters in them.
Dear Gamefreak please re look these games over when doing the one day games that might me Diamond and pearl remakes, lets go johto, Black and white 3, gen 9, maybe in Pokemon z. You have tons of oppurtunities dont waste them by making dlcs or wasting potential just make them like the 2d with better 3d graphics and everyone would be happy
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY BLACK 2 AND WHITE 2!
I'M 3 DAYS LATE BUT WHO CARES! LOVE THESE MASTERPIECES!
This isn’t just the end of Black 2 and White 2
This is the end of

- The 2D Pokemon era
- The DS games era

It really do hit harder in november/december
BW ending: You have stoped Ghetsis and his plans... But is it over? Pray for a true peace in Unova!
BW2 ending: With Ghetsis finally defeated, Rosa/Nate argeous fight agnaist Team Plasma has ended. However, in the vast regions of the world, this victory is just a twinkle of a star, spreading the light of hope through the darkness...
Hehe metroid 1 moment
My childhood...
Oh yeah
999:59, maxed out. i loved unova as a kid.
I played that theme for the first time after I graduated from college which was happened two days ago. That was indeed the end of my academic saga and the beginning of my new saga. Perfectly timed.
The Unova games aren't as high up for me as they used to be, but one thing these games did get right were the end credits themes. This is easily the best end credits theme in the entire main series lineup, and THAT is some high praise given how incredible the Hoenn credits theme is.
Yes, this is perhaps the best end credits theme in all of pokemon
4:49 this part always gets me
4:49?
Same bro 😢
B/W credits-Story is just getting started.
B/W2-It's finally all over an time to go relax at undella bay.
I like the difference in story structure between the unova games. In BW, beating the elite 4 and N and Ghetsis didn’t feel like a grand final, put a bow on it journey ender. The whole Plasma plot kinda robbed the player of that experience, and the credits theme reflects that, being more like a “good job, but there’s still more” type of vibe. In B2W2, you get to finish the Plasma plot before your championship battles, and Iris’s theme reflects that, being pretty comforting and easygoing, fun, exhibition match feeling. And the credits song does it better, it feels like “there’s more for you to do, but stopping now is completely understandable. You deserve it.”
you literally couldn’t describe it any better man.
Team Plasma: Oh shut up
This gives you the "OK, everything's wrapped up here" classic feel that every other Pokemon game EXCEPT FOR B/W has had, because things were mainly done.
B/W had such an epic theme because it was unlike any other game. It was giving that "Keep the journey alive!" feel, because it was indeed, as we later found out, not the end.
THAT is why B/W has such an epic theme. But it doesn't matter, as they all are the final piece of music you hear in every game, which wraps up a great game every time.
Man, Imma be honest. Pokémon Black and White were my childhood. They were the first Pokémon games I ever played. They’re still my favorite Pokémon games to this day. Just yesterday, I beat Pokémon White 2 for the first time. It was like I was a kid again. The excitement of getting my shiny Tepig for my starter, stepping onto route 19 for the first time, having my first gym battle again.. It was all surreal. When this theme played, I cried. I still cry when I hear it. To me, I feel it doesn’t just mean the ending of the game, but the end to my childhood as well. Thank you, Pokémon, for being such an influential part of my life.

I got to this point after 144 hours. I was on a call with my friends at the time I beat Iris, and I had to mute my mic, as I began to cry. I didn't want this game to end, and this song was adding to the effect. Its a shame that Game Freak is too lazy to make gems like this game nowadays, and it makes me sad to know that there are people in the world who dislike this gen. I want this to happen again. I want there to be another game like this to bring out my true self. Another gen 5. And even as I write this comment, I begin to tear up. I don't understand the amount of brain damage the 12 people who disliked this have.
I know how you feel. As one who spent over 400 hours in gen 5, I absolutely love it because of how much sheer passion was put into everything. Every time I hear this I cant help but feel so much for how this was the end for gen 5 and pokemon passion

If they ever remake gen 5 someday in the future (they still haven't even remade gen 4 so it will be a while)
It shouldn't be a usual remake but instead Black 3 and White 3
it would make sense since Gen 5 did have a 3rd version but direct sequels to the first two games, so logically the remakes should be sequels too
prolly have the Perfect kyurem/Original Dragon as their main legendary
An thus, the golden age of the franchise ended
Oh yes
This couldn't be more perfect for these games, the most nostalgic music of any pokemon game to me. Salute to Gen 5!
Bois, its finally our time. Black 3 & White 3 are only around the corner from us know.
Indeed
While i really did enjoy my time with games beyond gen 5 like ORAS, SM/USUM, Legends Arceus and even SV.
Man, Generation 5 is just where pokemon is at their best. The attention to detail, the challenge and the love poured into these games is truly unmatched.
I wished Gamefreak made another pokemon game as good these games are again..well imo Legends Arceus came super close lmao
This song is much better than Black 1 and White 1’s ending theme, but if they remade Black and White for Nintendo Switch or a future console (most likely in the late 2020’s), the first ending will play after you beat the Elite Four and Champion just once, and the ending in this video will play after you beat the Elite Four and Champion a second time, possibly.
It's my last year at high school I will miss all of the SSPs and teachers thank you Westgate CVI FOR EVERY THING U DID TO ME
CLASS OF 2024
I just graduated highschool and this is definitely the theme that plays in my head 😭😭
1 year later, and I have the exact same thing going on.
@@realdogking9 months from now, ill be there, where you are now.
I’m graduating high school in about a week. I remember about ten years ago that I used to look forward to come home and play this game everyday. The credits carry the same “goodbye theme” for me during graduation that they did in the game. I’m not ready guys. I’m not ready to say goodbye to my childhood :(
Today was the day of my graduation ceremony. My last day of school was Friday, but today was my real graduation.
I decided to listen to this… and I bursted into tears
This theme alone cemented this game as my favorite pokemon game of all time. Seeing the main character going back to all the cities where he faced the gym leaders was really cool and i'm pretty sure it's the only game that does this. And then the final scene where we see N looking at the horizon was just perfect. I love this game.
My beloved B2W2.
You will forever be special to me as that first big push to start playing video games, and I’ve never been happier. So many friends met, so many memories made, all because you sucked me into gaming.
This game is amazing and I still love it so much. If I ever had a top ten favorite games of all time, this is top three immediately.
The go from a badass theme in Pokemon black and white to a calm theme like always
Because in black and white you saved the world from a group that could have very easily destroyed it. black and white 2 definitely wasn't as serious.
Kryssy128 Or maybe it's because "to our respective futures" feels more like the adventure's truly beginning, while these credit music marked the end of the adventure.
You defeated Team Plasma for good. You went to go fight the Elite Four. And you get this music as a reward for a calm ending.
+Sondi mons I always considered this song to be a farewell to the 2d style of pokemon
MrLondonuts That too.
@@Kryssy128 Black and White 2 were definitely more serious than the 1st games. Team plasma went from trying to sway people over with speeches, to nearly freezing an entire city
It means the end of 5th gen.
It means the end of 2D Pokemon.
*It means the end of Gamefreak’s golden age.*
If you put this song in 5 seconds before the new year it works perfectly
4:45 (my favourite game, every time I listen to this music I cry)
This Ending theme really, i mean REALLY had that vibe and feeling of "The End" it signifies an End of an Era...
This isn't a emotion, this is love,happiness and Friendship!
I still keep coming back to Black and White every now and then. Can’t exactly say I'll do the same with any of the more recent games. The magic is gone... But Black and White is a timeless masterpiece that time will never be able to even scratch
Now after all these years. I’ve come back to this game and beat it in honor of never being able to beat it when I was younger. Black 2 was my first Pokémon game and will always hold a special place in my heart.
I was a stupid kid I left the Pokemon series right when these games were revealed. I didn't like gen 5 because I couldn't use any of the Pokemon I was used to and the fact that they were making a direct sequel made me mad. I left for a couple of years until X and Y came out and I started to miss Pokemon. I ended up buying a copy of Y and having a blast playing through it. My love for the series had returned. I later decided to try to give gen 5 a second chance, I saved my money and got a copy of White. I was blown away the story was like nothing I had seen before, the music and sound effects were on point making the world feel so alive and I started to love the Pokemon too. After finishing I wanted so badly to play White 2. I don't quite remember how but I did get a copy and It was breathe taking too. Now its my favorite Pokemon game and Unova is my favorite region. I'm currently 16 years old and I can say with pride that I'm a Pokemon fan. I love this games I'm glad I gave them a second chance.
Currently replaying through all of the generations in order and even though I'm only on emerald at the moment, I can't wait to get to the gen v games as Pokemon Black was the game that really got me into Pokemon and it's been awhile since I played them.
My first Pokemon game. Hitting the feels
Edit: it was also my first game ever. Black 2 specifically.
I bought it on ebay recently for $150 after not playing it for years after I sold it.
I got it when I was 10 and I'm now 21, having bought the game again just before my 21st birthday
B/W's ending: "Congratulations! You defeated Team Plasma... but the threat might still be lurking... so BE READY!"
B2/W2's ending: "Congratulations! You've defeated Neo TP, stopped Black/White Kyurem, and defeated the new Champion. You've got some more goodies ahead of you, but the worst is over. You've earned it :)"
I honestly miss the sprites and original style of Pokemon it had a curtain feel that could not be replaced by a 3D model, and for some reason the sprites in battle feel more alive than the stale models of most Pokemon now, it truly saddens me.

As it ends... A melody rings as it ends...
Saying goodbye to your old friends...

But I believe that this is the beginning of a new era!
Goodbye, and hello!
This is the end, but yet it's not
I feel like this is a new beginning.
I feel, I feel sad but still happy
Because I know that this is just a new beginning for a new era!
Now I sing, happiness filling my heart!
Can't you see that this is part
Part of moving on from the past
I see, I see a new journey!
A journey just for you and me!
Oh how I'll miss the good ol days, oh!
The melody still rings within our hearts
As we still journey on our separate journeys
Oh I'll never forget this moment!
Ends are for new beginnings!
Will we meet again? Who knows...
I don't know but...
I'll still sing!
As the melody rings!
I guess this is truly goodbye!
So, I will sing my little song!
The goodbyes still linger on!
And I am still singing for you!
Forever!
The melody still rings within our hearts
As we still journey on our separate journeys
Oh I'll never forget this moment!
Ends are for new beginnings!
Will we meet again? Who knows...
I don't know but...
I'll still sing!
Oh...
I will never ever forget the journeys we've had
Goodbyes make me saddest of all
I'm still singing! Oh, how I'll miss you!
A melody rings as it ends!
Saying hello to your new friends!
I can't believe a new era started!
Goodbye! And hello!
The melody still rings within our hearts
As we still journey on our separate journeys
Oh I'll never forget this moment!
Ends are for new beginnings!
Will we meet again? Who knows...
I don't know but...
I'll still sing!
Now I sing, happiness filling my heart!
Can't you see that this is part
Part of moving towards the future?
Oh, I never wanted to say goodbye!
I think I might actually cry!
The melody rings as it ends
But then a new journey
Begins at the same time

Pokemon is my favorite game since I was a little girl. this song is like a punch. This is too much to be honest... i have pokemon games and I still play this... i can't say goodbye... I just can't... i love this a lot. and this mean a lot to me.... well just saying..
I could not have said that better myself :') glad someong shares my love for black, white, black 2, and white 2. GameFreak is in a very deadly hole that they need to out of. the 3d graphics are okayish... nothing to hate on.... but the story is just the SAME. THING. EVERY. TIME. Why can't we have another masterpiece like this? I'm actually on the verge of crying right now as I type this... *sigh*...
the story was just so amazing.... I don't know, the story really mean something, more than just a game....Pokemon Black and white and black and white 2 just hit my feelings like a bullet. I'm not okay to say goodbye. Thinking about N's life and all the journy makes me so sad. I felt like a real trainer. l always felt like this. We need more than just a "pokemon game" we need something to make history.
Irina Sousa hell yes! alright, we need to get everyone to bombard Nintendo and make them make Sun/Moon just as amazing! :P
GingerSnap 173 I hope so. Sun and moon can change everything. I hope for new and awesome pokemons and a good story. we need more
Irina Sousa Sigh... unfortunately it'll probably never happen because of all the hate b/w/b2/w2 got just because they were "different." People claimed that at that point, GameFreak was "running out of ideas" when in reality, Gen 5 was by far the most creative and innovative. I don't really think the fans know WHAT they frickin want.
Thank you Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
Thank you for the memories.
Since I was a kid, I loved Pokemon Black and White, because of the cartoon, but the games...are such a amazing games! We need to enjoy this right now, because in the future..maybe we don't remember this things that make us happy since our childhood, hope that everyone is reaching their ideals.
Damn this one hit really hard because it’s not only a send off to generation 5 but to the whole entire 2D Pokémon games. Growing up with gen 4 and gen 5 I must say this brings some tears to my eye because it’s an end of an incredible era of Pokémon. I feel like after gen 5, Pokémon hasn’t been the same since, or at least for me it didn’t. :(
This song is just jam-packed full of emotion. I can't even put it into words. I've just now only played through pokemon White 2 . But I can still feel the nostalgia in this song. My 1st pokemon game was pokemon White, so it has the same sort of vibe. I still remember playing that cartridge. Unfortunately, i dont have it anymore. I remember for some odd reason, I ditched my starter right off the bat and chose Lillipup. It worked out pretty well. Up until the league Cause a team of an overleveled stoutland and 5 underleved pokemon wasn't going to cut it. I ended up losing over and over again until finally I decided to just to give up(i was an idiot who didn't understand the concept of exp) and just let my friend borrow it after that i completely forget about it for about 4-5 years and Over the years we had grown more and more distant so I hadn't seen him in quite a while. when I reached out to him, he had no clue where it was, and I completely understood. It had been 5 years after all. I'm still not sure why, but this song really speaks to me. I've listened to it over and over quite often. There's just something about it. I dont know why, but it really brings me back
Sidenote: While writing this, I believe I understand why this song meant so much to me. It's basically got all of the vibes of unova packed into one tune also its a credit theme, so it doesn't loop it can keep going. Unlike other town themes and such And as others have stated it was the perfect song to end the generation of 2d sprite based pokemon game the series really has been lacking since the move to the switch And after seeing Scarlett and Violet I'm probably done with this series unless they can really turn things around Which is highly unlikely and what's even more sad Is that black and white are probably are going to be remade faithfully by ILCA. Nate and Rosa's outfits are going to be put in as early purchase bonuses, which disgusts me because of how terrible bdsp was. I wish that they'd actually put some effort into their work and not rush things out the door as soon as possible, or if not that, leave these games untouched. They're fine the way they are right now and I don't think they need remade, at least not for a long time.
I doubt anyone's gonna read this, but i needed to put it somewhere... and if you are someone who read this ,
Thank you, it really means a lot!🙂
Dawg this theme really gets me sentimental, i get goosebumps everytime i hear this
Ahhh man I am Always sad when I played this game or hear the ending theme because it makes me clear that this is the last 2D based game and also how much time has passed since I played this as a 7 year old Boy...RIP 2D based games
I can’t hear this theme without being somewhat bitter about how the franchise has devolved after BW2
**Starts sobbing uncontrollably**
favorite pokemon game ever
Alas, an end to the best Pokemon games to ever exist. I just hope Sun and Moon stray away from the boring old formula like Gen 5 did, but I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. :/ I want emotion, not just catching em all and beatin the elite four.
Don't worry It already looks awesome, there's no way they will let this one be bad in any way, its the 20th anniversary its gonna be really good. Plus this time Masuda's head director it'll be fine.
Pungu Madura's a legend, m8. Thank the Lord!
Andrew Cotter this comment is five months later, but what are your thoughts with the info released so far about Sun & Moon. Is it living up to your expectations? It certainly doesn't seem like it follows the same formula imo.
Leora Ojadi Sun and Moon is changing up the formula in a big way and I love it!
PikaPlayzHD me too!
This was my first pokemon game. I played it for about 2 months before giving up after getting stuck on a gym. 4 years later I go back, beat the gym and play a little more, and then get mad again and stop playing. 1 year later and I finally beat the game. What an amazing game and I'm so glad of all the memories it gave me.
i would always play this on the last day of school in my headphones. i would never feel emotionally attached to my teachers or piers, until the last day, and even then it was only when this theme would play. but when it would, i would tear up a bit…. wasnt till my senior year that i just started balling, knowing i wouldn’t see most of those people again. knowing that i didnt make any friends, even though i was in the same school system since kindergarten. knowing that no one would reflect and remember me. and knowing that i was on my own, to make my own new friends. remembering this glorious game would always cheer me up at least
I DO THE EXACT SAME THING RN
Today was the day of my graduation ceremony, and I decided to listen to this after getting home
Quite literally bursting into tears
Best pokemon games imo
how can people dislike this
Many people bash on Gen 5. It's a shame.
I don't understand why either, solid story, decent Pokémon designs (a few exeptions but every gen has a few bad apples) great music and characters etc. It was actually kind of sad the first time I beat the game.
Fallout Theorist Yup. I wanna replay White 2, but I'm too lazy.
I need White ASAP. But they cost like $100 online. I regret starting Pokemon in the B2W2 era instead of BW.
You realize you can get White for $40 at GameStop, right?
Black and white and there sequels are the best pokemon games as well as having the best soundtrack of any game
I LOVE the use of leitmotief (the reusing of themes) at the ending of the credits, when the leaf falls it plays the exact same notes as it did at the very start of the game.
This theme signifies the end of the DS era, the best era i must say
i wish people didnt let this get overshadowed by bw1
And then 3D happened...
Neo Peewee AND USUM WILL BE AMAZING
Keanu the Explorer! It was
and the games got worse
Valak Dunban STFU
@@darkfawful1901 Take a look at Sw&Sh
You know, last summer I made the decision to try and complete as much of the medal rally as possible. A lot of that entailed the challenge medals, requiring you to beat the Elite 4 repeatedly.
This has always been a favorite game, but the medal rally made me love it even more. I was forced to discover more things about the game, use pokemon I've never used, do things in it I've never done...and after every league victory, we go back to this song...and then right back to discovering/trying new things.
It's magical.
mabey they did this ending song because it is the last poKemon gen for DS
I cried when this played after my Flygon alone wrecked the League. I'll always love him... I LOVE YOU AEROTEAR!!! WAAAAH! X'O
The best pokemon game ever
I wouldn't change a thing
Thanks for the memories ❤️
This is pure genius.
I cant describe it,but everytime I listen to this song it brings suppresed memories of nostalgia for me. It makes me feel all warm inside and I dont know why. I just want to say thank you Game Freak and to many more pokemon games
this sounds like life on mars
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hears it
Hearing this made me truly believe that it was all over.
I was never so happy to be wrong in my entire life!
My favorite Pokémon games of all time. What a way to end the 2D era....
This was the last great generation for me. I just lost interest in Pokemon after Gen 5.
Part of it was because X/Y and Sun/Moon felt rushed, and just didn't
seem to have the magic anymore. ORAS made me smile, but that was mostly nostalgia.
Another was, after burning myself out
raising a team for the Pokemon World Tournament, I realized I hated all
the breeding. I wanted to take on those endgame challenges with the
Pokemon I'd raised through my journey, not the product of dozens of
hours of eugenics.
Another major problem is that you couldn't
rematch trainers, which made grinding a pain. At least Gen 5 had places
like the stadiums in Nimbasa. Grinding against Wild Pokemon was just painfully slow.
It got so bad that I didn't even finish Pokemon Moon. I just don't want to put effort into a game I'm just going to drop after I beat it, especially knowing that the Battle Tree kept the same, bland 3-on-3 formula that I disliked.
When I first heard this song, I was disappointed that it wasn't like BW's ending theme. Now, looking back, if I'd known it was the end of Pokemon's Golden Age, I'd have appreciated it more.
If Pokemon gave us a methods to make it so we didn't have to go through so much trouble to get great, battle ready Pokemon, I'd play it again. But, that's never going to happen, sadly.
Amen brother, amen.
Let's hope that Pokemon on Switch brings back that magic, I agree, there's just a feeling of something missing when playing the 3DS games that you never felt from gen 1-5
@@keeysOST this comment specifically has aged less than fantastic
@@lua4951 in what way?
@@keeysOST Let's go was subpar at best, and though they said it was essentially a one-off game, the atmosphere will most likely carry over into the next generation anyways even if the mechanics don't
BW ending: victorious.BW2 ending song: lovely
Even know I can safely feel some type of way about Black/White 1/2, and how its still the peak of Pokemon. The nostalgia from listening to this still gives me goosebumps.
