Apparently dark type users are rockstars. I would now like to see a normal type gym leader that is a pop star or perhaps a fairy typed hyperpop Pokémon gym leader.
I regret sleeping on SV for a year, I picked it up right around christmas '23 and as soon as I stopped paying attention to some of the technical wonk i realized this games story and music are some of the best in the entire franchise. The grunt song goes wayyy harder than it needed to, but im so glad it did. Great cover homie.
The internet paid only attention to the technical difficulties of the game, because....fair, can't deny they exist. But yeah, past that, I haven't loved a generation as much as this one since Black and White. Music, characters, storyline and even some challenging battles like never before on the expansions. Team Star storyline is one of my favorites in the game and they are the best team in the series hand down.
This song I just heard yesterday for the first time and I swear I did not end the battle until i heard the full theme play out because I could not believe how RAW it was
It's a shame this doesn't play more often in the game! Imagine if you got to fight as many Team Star Grunts as the previous villainous teams and heard this song just as many times ;o
I wouldn't necessarily want it to play I more fights, but I wish it would last longer. No Grunt has more than two Pokemon and that really limits how long this theme plays. The only time it played for a long time for me is when I faced the Fighting Crew while severely underleveled and had to cheese the fight.
@@Jasoun44 it would be fun to see the grunts trying to recruit people and we have the ability to stop them. Similar to the travelling merchants in BOTW fighting bokoblins
This is the kind of game where you spend the first part criticising its technical issues and the rest of it falling in love, and I think a lot of people are at that point now. All my friends who were feeling mid about Pokémon for years absolutely love this game. Yes, the game still has **many** very real issues, but it also surprised and impressed me again and again, and overall I've really come to love it. Maybe that will fade a bit after the neophilia wears off, but for now I have really appreciated what this game has to offer. And with some of those offerings being a few incredible tracks, I'm more than happy to be enthusiastic about these uploads!
It's kind of funny to me, aside form some slowdown where I'd expect to see slowdown I never really ran into any technical issues with the game. I was also playing Scarlet and it definitely feels like it was the more stable game between the two, at least until the 1.1 update, I've been seeing a lot more bugs since then. I also had to wait around 4 days to even start playing the games because the mail is slow and I pre-ordered online so it had to be mailed to me. Even with that and all of my friends having Violet and having a ton more bugs than I have, they all loved it from the start. Not saying the game couldn't have been better, but it seems that why we are seeing more love for the games as time goes on is the people who just watched videos and then proceeded to complain have for the most part moved on, and the people who actually played the games are enjoying themselves. All of us still have minor criticisms but that's normal for games in general. For me these are the best games in the series so far, and actually make me want to immediately replay them. Though given the 1.1 patch actually made my game more unstable I think I will wait on that one.
I’m one of those people similar to your friends. Haven’t been too interested in a Pokémon game since ORAS (that was the last Pokémon game I bought which was in 2015) am a little interested in Arceus but haven’t gotten around to it but seen the trailers for S/V and felt like a child again. I got it last Friday which was the day after a lot of performance issues have been fixed so I didn’t experience that side as much but all I can say is god I love this game so much and it’s exceeded my expectations
That's exactly how I felt. The first hour feels like very typical pokemon with shitty performance but past that I was charlie meming the whole way through, ESPECIALLY the ending.
I couldn't agree more with this comment. Sure, it looks and runs like crap but when you're able to get past that, also if the game allows you haha, it is a fantastic game with great stories and great characters, and of course, a fantastic soundtrack, to the point IMO, it fights with BW as the contender for the best soundtrack in the series, it is THAT good. I've been playing PKMN since 1998, with Blue Version, and i'm not lying as i say, personally this is top 3 best main-line pkmn games, fighting the 2nd place with Platinum (Sun/Moon is 1st place).
The first time I was playing this, I looked right at my wife and said " I can't wait until someone makes a metal cover of this." I am not disappointed 10/10
1:18 I absolutely love how the high pitched high notes here are appealingly out of key in the original and am happy to see covers doing that part justice.
I said it in the original video and I'll say it again. No GRUNT should have a song that goes this hard. This song is an easy 10/10, and a certified end boss theme level track.
No idea why it wasn't the Grunt Leader's at least. But maybe it's even too Iconic for them! But ah well - I'm just grateful We even got it rather than more of that flatline Team Yell Sword & Shield garbage.
0:23 - 0:35 is already my favorite part of tbe original track, but DAMN it sounds AMAZING in this cover. You made it even more of my favorite part. This whole theme is just so good.
At first i didn't really like the whole team star design in face value. gave me team flare and team yell vibes. But the more i fought team star with all their head bosses they really grew on me very fast as characters. Wich gave me more team skull vibes and i love those goofballs! And their themes make so much more sense how it flows after you know their stories. Hasta la vistar baby!!!!
oh HECK yes! One of the best songs in the game. SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME YET DOWN BELOW I hope that you'll someday also covered the final battle against the professors, but for now tHIS SLAPS SO GODDAMN HARD THAT IT COOKED A CHICKEN.
Took me a few seconds to realise who you meant by "Professor", I thought you were talking about Clavell at first. Although a cover of his theme would also be sick.
yeah that song is so good, what makes it so good in my opinion is the toby fox style leitmotifs used during the climax part, makes the song complete which is something i dont see other covers of the song doing, hope jules notices it
I will still never get over seeing TOBY FOX IN THE COMPOSER SECTION OF A MAJOR POKÉMON GAME. You did awesome on this, can't wait for the Star Leader Theme hopefully soon!
@@phyllotaxis Actually, this one is pretty likely to be by Teruo Taniguchi, who most famously did the music for Tetris 99 and did some sound effect work for Pokémon in the past. If you look up "Run for Victory (Ex Stage1)", that's a past track he did for another game that's very stylistically similar to all the Team Star stuff. Very cool to see all these new names hitting it out of the park alongside the classic composers we know and love.
Man, I hope that there are still a few more Pokémon Scarlet/Violet covers in the making. I'm definitely down to listen to a bunch more of them on repeat.
I noticed in your description that you said that you were surprised people like the songs despite the reception to the game. The thing is, despite the graphics and performance and issues with the game, I still think most people enjoy the game. You can tell from the sales, the lack of reports of mass returns, and generally anyone who has actually played the game admits that if wasn't for the performance and things, it probably would have been the best Pokemon game ever.
This is fantastic!!!! Glad to see Jules still picking up Pokemon music. What I really want to see is if you can do a cover of the Tera Battle theme and then the Sada/Turo theme. It's hands down the best motifs in the game, you'll fucking love it if you haven't seen those parts of the game yet. Toby Fox goodness!!!
Getting Scarlett for Christmas! Even more excited now.!!! Awesome cover. Please consider covering the battle and boss battle themes of ff8. Keep up the immense and incredible job you are doing.
The first thing I said when I heard this song while playing was "they did NOT have to go this hard with the music, damn; I really hope FamilyJules covers this."
Whoa, this battle theme really reminds me of a Mega Man stage theme in the best way - I don't think I've ever really gotten that vibe from Pokemon music before.
Damn, thought this was the boss theme at first and was a little disappointed But 5s in that wasn't an issue anymore - Great as always man Living for the Scarlet and Violet covers - trying to figure out Area Zero by ear has been driving me nuts
I like how the 2nd time you hear this the girl grunt is just dancing in the background. Her dance is just 2 steps but I fits so well with the beat and stuff.
I'm Playing Violet for The First Time right now, and I must Say its not Perfect but i find it Not that Horrible Like many Others overall its a Nice Game so far👍🏻.
This is a grunt theme. A lousy grunt theme. It has no business going this hard. Haven't heard an outright left-field banger this insane since Pictionary for NES.

@@desreploid3353Not just that but the entire theme of the game is based around finding your treasure, and in every case the treasure is the bonds you have with your friends. ...even one friend we have to part with.

Every song related to Team Star just goes insanely crazy and I love it.
also raid music is good!

YES, MY MAN! This is one of my favourite themes from the game. The part starting around 1:00 slaps!
I love when FamilyJules does Pokémon music, it never misses!
El mejor OST de un Team de toda la saga en mi opinión xd
Finally, we can hear the whole loop. Thanks, Jules.
This theme already goes hard, but now IT GOES EVEN HARDER HELL YEAH!!
Giacomo is an amazing composer
shoutouts to giacomo for writing this banger
Yes Jules!!! Let's fking GOOOOOOO!!! HASTA LA V'STARRRRRR!!!
This is by ten hundred thousand lightyears best pokemon song EVER

"AND HIS MUSIC WAS ELECTRIC..."

This should’ve been the star raid theme bro XD

Team Star is the best team just on the music alone.
That Cover is soooo underrated!!❤
Thank you, I really like this BGM
Return of the king!
I'm sorry to say this but Team Star Grunt Battle original theme is so good that it's better than the FamilyJules cover.

Woah dude!! Can't stop listening to this one, good cover as usual!
This honestly should of been the champion theme it slaps that hard 😮
This is scientifically proven to be the best theme of the whole game
Why do the grunts get some of the best battle music in the game? Team Star bosses and Penny don't hold a candle.
