    Silvuddy's Notes:
    Kanto: The original boss music! This theme is used for every Pokémon League official, including Elite Four. The Johto-based games, like the Wild Pokémon and Trainer themes, each include an arrangement of this theme. The remakes in particular heavily expand the arrangement where the GSC version was truncated.
    Johto: This one is quite a bit more intimidating than the Kanto version, especially the HGSS one. Like the originals, this theme is also used for the Elite Four in the Johto storylines.
    Hoenn: This Gym Leader theme is in the camp of more triumphant themes; Kanto meets in the middle of this and Johto in terms of balancing "heroism" and menace. The PWT version in particular is just super fun with it's DnB style drum pattern.
    Sinnoh: This theme actually just repeats the same idea twice, though the second occurrence is ever so slightly altered to keep things interesting. The PWT remix is essentially just an improved version of the original in my opinion, though the BDSP remake version's style is a bit more faithful. The theme when fighting Clan Wardens and Leaders (as well as Commander Kamado) in Legends: Arceus is an arrangement of this theme; maybe the Wardens are the origin of the Gym Leaders we know today!
    Unova: This follows suit with the Hoenn Gym Leader theme of clearly sounding like a fun challenge to overcome, rather than intimidating boss music. There are two versions, one for each pair of Unova games, and each has its own arrangement of a "final round" dynamic music shift.
    Kalos: X and Y went a completely new direction with the Gym Leader music, opting for a subtle electronic track rather than an in-your-face theme like the others. Another fun fact, this theme plays during your battle with AZ after the credits! Korrina also gets her own remix of the track when battling her for the right to Mega Evolution.
    Alola: Sun and Moon do not feature a Gym Challenge, instead having the Island Challenge. While the Totem Pokémon are the true bosses of the challenge, the Kahunas are the officiators, and as such are the ones most comparable to Gym Leaders. The Totem Pokémon theme is also a remix of the Wild Pokémon theme, so I've included it along with the rest of those instead.
    Galar: Sword and Shield introduced constant dynamic changes during Gym battles. There's also a remix which plays when the Gym Leaders are rematched in the Pokémon League Finals as well as the Galarian Star Tournament, also with dynamic changes. Piers gets his own battle theme for his Gym Battle, due to the fact that he also serves as this game's villainous team leader.
    Paldea: Like Sword and Shield, Scarlet and Violet feature a dynamically changing Gym Leader battle theme, increasing in intensity with every next Pokémon, though no longer in the XY/SwSh EDM style (however, a chant much like SwSh's final round does return). The "Remaining Pokémon" phase applies to any third and/or penultimate Pokémon meaning the "Next Pokémon" phase is skipped if the Leader only has 3 Pokémon.

      Ikr?! I love it starts intimidating but becomes cheerful down the line, to me it represents the initial imposing and intimidating aura the Kahunas give you at first impression, with the player feeling initially nervous but then later the player remembers they're here to have fun and the theme becomes happy and cheerful! It's a very cool underappreciated concept!

    Can we just appreciate how BW/BW2 went all out and even had music for last Pokemon AND your Pokemon being at low health?? That's some dedication! And then kudos to the person/people who animated EVERY FREAKING SPRITE in BW2! To give both old and new trainers a fresh sprite is just...Omg, impressive. I am by no means a professional artist, but even as a hobby, I struggle to sometimes make one decent animation for an OC, much less a whole bunch for every trainer and Pokemon there!
    I already know the Unova remakes will not be the same, which is so sad, but we can hope they try to add the same heart and soul as they did the OGs!

    Paldea's electrojazz genre for a gym leader got me by surprise. Easily the most hype song in the series, the chanting I feel is done right in this theme.
    The chanting is ok in Galar, but the way it's kinda off-tune, although realistic in context, makes my ears hurt. In Paldea, the way is works with the heavy drums is just, mwah! Absolutely perfect.

    • @SilvuddyPkmnMusic
      @SilvuddyPkmnMusic  Год назад +16

      Yeah, a lot of people rip on the Paldea Gym Leader theme because it's so different, having a very sparse instrumentation most of the way through as a result of the dynamic changing and all. But I think it's pretty damn cool all things considered, especially the chant in the final round as you mentioned; they definitely improved it over SwSh, which was already a fun concept.

    • @HundMCD
      @HundMCD Год назад +12

      @@SilvuddyPkmnMusic yup. I understand that the lack of "seriousness" in Paldea's theme can be a letdown to some, but come on, that whole last part of the song makes the gym battles feel like this massive event, where, whoever the winner may be, fun is everyone's first priority. Can't go wrong with the coral singing once the gym leader's last pokemon faints with that BEAUTIFUL crystal explosion, it's a spectacle, everything is made for you to get absolutely hyped, I love it.

    Paldea’s GL theme is a nice change from the EDM of Gen 6 and 8, but the chanting portion for the last Pokémon is too simple and repeats itself far too often in battle. My choice for best theme is X/Y’s Successor Korina theme, not only because of how it improves on the already amazing GL theme, but also because it was the first time we ever used Mega Evolution in battle (I’m praying for its main series return eventually, but at least Masters EX includes it)

BW2 is when they realized this and made the music in BW2 Techno & it’s why people favor BW2 over BW1 bc the atmosphere in bw2 felt better. As a Gen 5 fan I only loved Unova for the region, Pokemons, characters, story, content, and battle themes. I hope to God for gen 5 remakes they remix the themes better & give Unova a better less basic sound.

      I have always thought this, and that actually a lot of Pokémon GO’s soundtrack (at least everything from launch) sounds like tracks from X and Y. I have a theory as to why: the composers probably didn’t want to put a TON of new effort into composing new tracks for the mobile game, so they reused a lot of ideas from their most recent work, which would have been Generation 6 at the time of Go’s release.

    I started with HG/SS so I'm biased, but yeah if I had to name my top 5
    1. Johto, and specifically the HG/SS mix because honestly it goes so hard
    2. Unova, the introduction of the "last pokemon" theme alongside an already fitting gym theme just hits real good when you get there
    3. Paldea, now HEAR ME OUT, this is honestly just a bop no matter how you spin it, and it encapsulates a fun, intimidating environment with a neat "last pokemon" theme at the end that actually ties into the actual gym leader theme like Galar does. However, people have the super valid critique of "where is that chanting coming from there's like four dudes here" and I agree so my headcanon is that there's a legion of invisible Unown surrounding the gyms that sing for each challenger when they do well ig
    4. Galar, because even if it is much less of a bop and I would never put it on my playlist this is super hype in game because it fits the atmosphere super well.
    5. Hisui, simply a cool remix of an already good gym theme
    Now before the 2D fans maul me I think the older games are better *games* but my goodness the modern tools and mixes just help the music shine so much better than the crunchy speakers of a DS or Gameboy. That's not to say there aren't amazing themes and music in the older games, like honestly I might even put more of the older game's music in my lists but idk I feel like a lot of it is miss. Also sorry, Kanto is OG but it ain't *that* good, Kalos doesn't seem to go anywhere really with its theme, and honestly Hoenn is kinda mid with the gym theme here. Alola is here too I guess, idk I have no strong feelings on Alola. I just like a good, fun gym leader theme that goes hard and starts out intimidating but gets you motivated and even slaps as it goes on.

    @Akami_Shirokane 2 месяца назад

    My personal favorite have always been HGSS's rendition of the Kanto gym leaders, it just sounds so legendary like you're battling THE OG gym leaders after many years.
    But dang I know people don't like them much but I personally feel Galar's and Paldea's are the best fit for a gym battle, you just gotta love how they went out of their way to make adaptive and dynamic music depending on the situation you're facing, whether you're winning, you're losing or the leader is at their last mon.
    A lot of people give too much love to the "last Pokémon" from Unova but for me it always took me out of the mood because it was a whole different theme, I just wished the og gym theme kept going.
    With Galar's and Paldea's they made the transition so smoothly and it just feels so hype, specially with the audience choruses I'm glad they kept on Paldea's from Galar's, it's just so much more emotion knowing there's a whole audience watching your gym battle and cheering on the climax.
    Plus the sporty stadium vibes Galar's has and the funky jazzy vibes Paldea's has are pretty awesome too! I hope they continue this style with future games because they just reached the perfect structure for a gym leader theme. Adaptive music is one of the things that make video game music stand out in all of music specially when the changes are done so smoothly.
    Gen 4 is my fav and I do still prefer to replay the GB and DS games (I even prefer Platinum over BDSP haha) but gen 8-9's gym battles are the ones I have found the hypest because of the music.

  • @CrocoDylianVT
    @CrocoDylianVT 5 месяцев назад

    I love the Paldea approach
    The first pokémon works as a warmup, calm and composed as the battle is just starting
    The next Pokémon is when things start heating up, you defeated the first Pokémon, but shouldn't get over yourself
    The remaining Pokémon (3rd to 5th) is when the real action starts, the battle is at its peak
    The last Pokémon, although similar to SwSh in the chants, aims to evoke more of a BW/B2W2 feeling to it, it's the last Pokémon, one final obstacle from victory in the sheer heat of the battle
    if only the battle themselves were harder it'd go really hard

    The only ones I would call boring are the Johto (HGSS moreso than the OG) and Sinnoh versions. Everything else is peak Imo.
    HGSS Kanto is awesome awesome awesome. Chaotic but also makes sense.
    Unova introduced the Last Pokémon Standing version so that Galar’s could run (or chant).
    And why lie, the Galar Gym Theme is an absolute BOP.
    I will say: The Sinnoh remake Gym Battle theme is really really good. I’m a fan of explosive orchestra man. And the second part of that theme is great.

    I got favorites, of course, but they fall in this order:
    1. Unova (B/W Versions - my favorites, and the one theme I can listen to for hours upon hours on end without stopping 'cause it's so awesome)
    2. Kanto (most versions minus G/S/C Versions and HG/SS Versions - after all, they're the originals and I first started playing Pokemon back with my copy of Yellow)
    3. Johto (all three versions - I loved the fact that you could actually rematch these guys in HG/SS, and started to really like this theme)
    4. Paldea (frankly, the only part I truly love about this is the chanting portion, where the Gym Leader uses Terastallization - that hits hard just about every time)
    5. Hoenn (R/S/E Versions - heard this one almost too many times as a naive and idiotic kid, simply throwing my Blaziken against everything and getting wiped against Tate&Liza and Wallace especially)
    6. Sinnoh (D/P/Pl Versions - love the fact that we can hear these again in BD/SP through the DS Sounds item, and just upbeat altogether)
    7. Galar (feels like a dance hall tune, really, which is NOT what I want in a Gym Leader theme, although the remix from VanilluxePavilion is much, much better)
    8. Alola Kahunas (not too fond of the theme, usually ignored it when beating the Kahunas)
    9. Kalos (the one I like the very least, and not only because I never played X or Y - there's something about them I just don't like; can't pinpoint it, just don't like either of 'em at all)
