The first Elite Four to get their own battle theme, and it really set the tone for what an Elite Four theme should sound like. In Gen 1 and 2, the Elite Four just felt like extra steps to the Champion, additional tests of strength much like the Gym Leaders before, since they shared their themes (actually in Gen 1, the Elite Four had regular trainer music). Here though... The Elite Four's job isn't to test your strength before the champion. *Their job is to stop you.*
I mean, you aren't supposed to know there is a champion in Gen 1. It doesn't get revealed until after you beat Lance. While this is always the case, Gen 1 was the first game (obviously), so _nobody_ at the time knew... not including magazines and word of mouth from those who played, of course.
This is the "hurry up before FireRed starts" theme on Twitch Plays Pokémon back in 2014 when they had to deal with the time limit. Still can't believe they finished the game with just three hours left after depleting their previous timer 72h earlier!
I mean, tbh, he CAN do it pretty easily considering he's level 70 when you get him just need a couple full restores and ethers/leppa berries just in case you get bad RNG with incoming Ice Beams
@@UltimatePhantasm my fault. I mixmatched RSE and ORAS but DD sets work superbly well for Ray in gen 3. Gen 6 offers you the power of the extreme killer set (Swords Dance and E-Speed)
Honestly. Surf (for more PP), Ice Beam, Thunder (has 100% with Kyogre unless overwritten), and Calm Mind is enough to destroy the entire league by itself
I was a kid when I first played Sapphire. Phoebe was my bane. I just couldn't get past her, and it made me sad. I decided to go exploring and catching Pokemon for the next 6 months, since I just had no strategy, and I could only play on weekends. I had the idea to take the Super Rod to an early route, and fish at a body of water, and found a little Pokemon I had NEVER seen before: Corphish. "Lol what a silly dude. Maybe I'll train him up", and I did. He evolved into the mean looking Crawdaunt. I decided "Oh cool. A water/dark type. Might as well give it a try." That Crawdaunt DESTROYED Phoebe. It was unreal. I was so hyped. Within a week of beating Phoebe, I went all the way to the Champion and defeated Steven Stone, getting my first ever Pokemon game completed. That was a real challenge for the kid me. Here's hoping they add some sort of hard mode to future Pokemon games, because I've not encountered a challenge in normal Pokemon games and runs anymore. Been looking for that sense of hype from a vanilla Pokemon game ever since.
this story made me smile so hard. kid-you must've felt AMAZING beating phoebe like that. and i totally agree, the newer pokemon games don't challenge you as much!

HOT TAKE: They're both equally good. They definitely convey different feelings, the Hoenn E4 theme sounds more glorious while the Unova E4 theme is more tense, but that's what makes me appreciate both. Completely different emotions, both phenomenal songs. They fit their circumstances well. The call-back to the Hoenn E4 theme in the Unova E4 theme is also really sweet.
@@vulturesalesman weird i played black version 2 first and when i played it had a good soundtrack but then i played Ruby and that overshadowed black's soundtrack, IDK why my music tastes are seriously messed up
Associate this song mostly with Phoebe killing my Crobat as well as sweeping Drake with Hyper Beam DDance Gyarados. Who'd have known Dusclops learned Ice Beam...
The theme of one of the strongest trainers in the game who happens to have two of the same fully evolved ice types with base 80 in all stats, as well as two second stage Pokemon of the one that is the strongest Pokemon on her team.
While I've never PLAYED any of the Hoenn games (please don't kill me, I have copies of the games + the Gen 1 remakes coming in February) I can say ALL of the music I've heard so far are AMAZING
Played a Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke with strict rules, and my team for Elite 4 will always be my favorite team of all time: - Sceptile - Hariyama - Magneton - Absol - Starmie - Gyarados
For me Drake gave me issues. I didn’t have ice Pokemon. I remembering retrying multiple times because I would get cooked I learned to appreciate ice Pokemon more after this 💀
Unfortunately, yes. I missed the chance to download all of Official VGMs uploads before they privated everything too. I'm fairly certain that was the last channel that had all of BrawlBRSTMs videos as well
Sidney (Kagetsu): I don't use Fight and Bug. AS has Fairy. So... MOONBLAST (Moon Force) Phoebe (Fuyou): SHADOW BALL or CRUNCH (Kamikudake)! Glacia (Prim): THUNDERBOLT (100,000 Volts) and IRON TAIL/METEOR MASH (Comet Punch)! Fire? NOPE! Drake (Genji): DRAGON CLAW and ICE BEAM (Freezing Beam)! Fairy? I don't think so.
This was the music I heard while Glacia's Walrein wiped my team. Literally had to get a Pokémon with Destiny Bond to take it out.
*laughs in Raichu*
meh, just use Sceptile with Leaf Blade, that'll take them RIGHT out in 1 hit 90% of the time

What a rollercoaster of a song! The notes jump around like a leprechaun on acid.
you've heard of elf on the shelf, now have gnome on meth
yknow i dont think anyone couldve worded that one better
Lmfao your comment 😂
The first true elite four theme, and it really sticks out.
20 years later and this song still blows me away. It's like 5 different genres at the same time!
When you realize:
Sydney: Cool
Phoebe: Cute
Glacia: Beautiful
Drake: Tough
Steven: Clever
Accurate 💯
Emerald has a repeat then.
What does that make Wallace then?
@@CrasherX2000 Wallace is supposedly also beauty, so that means there’s a reappearance and one of the two should to be removed.

That first 30 seconds is disgustingly epic

In hoenn, there's a hidden crowd in the elite four, you can hear them clapping for you mid song 😮

i really hate how nintendo just refuses to let people use their music
Same and when People upload their music they get copyrighted..
I’m surprised this is not stricken but I assume that is a function of luck than an actual relaxing of video game music strikes.
Junichi Masuda it's the composer the main musical producer

Are you just an alt of me? THIS IS THE SAME THING I DID

Phoebe Dusklops: *will-o-wisp time*
Me: "f*ck off."
It's a 10 and 90% of you beating this but it still hits different
The soundtrack as cool as it is gives me PTSD from facing that dusclops
Really the song of a showdown. Up beat and victorious. Gen 3 for life
THIS IS EPIC!
For me Drake gave me issues. I didn’t have ice Pokemon. I remembering retrying multiple times because I would get cooked

Let's sky uppercut our way thru the dark types (and ice types.. and dark ice types)
i remember this song because it took me like 10 turns to defeat the elite four…. my partner called me a noob when i told him this
This is the theme that plays while swampert commits mass genocide
Anyone since 2024
Hi
if ZUN made Pokemon themes:
Salamence still scares me
Fr lol him and duskclops
I wiped out Phoebe’s Pokémon with Cacturne’s Faint Attack
me sweeping blaines entire team with one bulk up and spamming earthquake
this hits hard
Great
freezai random battles to the top theme song
It’s showtime from the Hoenn Pokémon League! It’s the Hoenn Pokémon League Playoffs!
heracross wipes the entire e4 here except drakes flygons

Some ass whooping elite four
I struggled with Drake. A lot. I fucking hated it 😭
No seriously I struggled so much because I dont think I had ice pokemon on my team. I would get swept. FOR DAYS,
Skill issue ik but still....
TFW the first 8 seconds of the song are the most hype part of the song...
Yippie so cool
I like murdering the elite 4 with groundon :3
This one!
I can only think of TasteyLunch’s Animation when hearing this

Drake (Genji): DRAGON CLAW and ICE BEAM (Freezing Beam)! Fairy? I don't think so.
gen3 is the peak of pokemon - all downhill from there with the safe, bubbly and overly casual environment. boring.
