NostalJack, so glad to see you back in action, man! You haven't missed a beat, as evidenced by how cozy and charming this sounds. And great choice, too, basing this remix on the G/S/C version of Vermilion! One of the many things I love about Gen 2 is that the composers went and created new arrangements for each of the Kanto themes, when they could have just stuck the original tracks in there. So much care was put into this OST! Similarly, you've put a great deal of creative energy into the instrumentation here, and there are some truly neat surprises, like the erhu that Hanabi mentioned and the choral synth in the climax segment. The electric piano lead is signature NostalJack, and that bass guitar has great upper tones, allowing it to be heard even on lesser sound systems - I like that! It's cool how you used swing for some of the rhythms to give them extra character, and I really like the improvised harmonies, like that moving part at 0:25, and those descending runs at 0:13 and 0:47. And superb work with the percussive elements, too!That snare is crispy and well-balanced, and the kick rhythms are very satisfying. It's great how you also give the tonal instruments room to breathe by dropping out the percussive elements at certain points, and it adds to the dynamic nature of your arrangement. Just really solid song progression overall. I think this piece would be a great addition to Johto-fi Vol. 2, as this is about as Johto-sounding as a Kanto theme can get! Otherwise, I think it would be cool to see the Credits theme make it onto that album, as it's one of the best in the franchise, I feel. Once again, superb work, my friend! 🌟
Thanks man! It feels great to see one of your comments again after so long! Glad you enjoyed this one, it’s very simple so I’m glad people didn’t find it too boring :)
Ohhh man, not saying I wouldn’t remix it again (cause I would, and I might haha) but I did one with Nuzlok way back in like 2021 and it is still one of the best things I think I’ve ever been a part of! Up there with our credits remix of course 😉 if you haven’t heard it, you GOTTA listen, Nuzlok was COOKING on this one! ruclips.net/video/zhh1N0QLTsU/видео.htmlsi=NVF-lfgf9LymFUn5

So happy to be listening to this! 🎉 Def have a shot at a national park remix for vol. 2 if you haven’t remixed it before!

@@NostalJackMusic Oh my god, I completely forgot about this incredible remix you guys did! I even left a comment on it and everything!
Oh lol that’s funny. BUT, that’s one of my all time favorite vgm tunes, so it may be worth dusting off again in the future…
