It would be great! for now I'm taking a rest about creating videos, but I'm keeping this in mind in case I have more time and can do it in the future (hopefully not too far away). I love the idea! @@Kwiitchi
Good list but some ones I missed were: Dialga and Palkia theme Ghetsis theme in BW Zinnia theme Champion Nemona theme Guzma theme Besides those it’s a very good list and very nostalgic
There are some notable exclusions to me, like Zinnia and Gen 4 Frontier Brain, but I appreciate some of the specific inclusions, like Galactic Commander (which is indeed the best Galactic battle theme imo)
Somebody said this on another video (making a joke about him being the forgotten Mario brother) and now I can't stop imagining him crash-landing in the Mushroom Kingdom, disappointing everyone by reminding them that he can't drive, and upon returning, Leon asking him what happened and his only response being: "Well... our extended family is very strange."
I am always impressed by the music of gold, silver and cristal versions on gameboy. With so much limitations they managed to make really good music. If only Gamefreak team was continuing to push the limit of the technology. I appreciate a lot this top. Totally agree with the top 1 and with most of the top 10 :)
@@luukjansen4221 It's the most threatening out of all the E4 music and that's my criteria and yeah the other regions obviously have banger E4 music but Gen 7's E4 theme beats all of them in terms of intensity.
This list was awesome.. and then seeing number one.. my gosh I remember the first time I fought May.. on Ruby. What a grand time to be a kid when these games came out. Love how Gen 9 has some serious bangers in there. Honestly this is one of the best lists I’ve listened to.
My top 5: 5. Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - May/Brendan 4. XY - Xerneas/Yveltal 3. Scarlet & Violet - Treasures of Ruin 2. Scarlet & Violet - Penny 1. Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - Ultra Necrozma *EDIT:* After the release of The Teal Mask, the ranking has changed: number 5 is Xerneas/Yveltal, number 4 is the Treasures of Ruin and number 3 is the Loyal Three.
Personal Top 5: (Honorable Mention): N Final Battle 5. Colress Theme 4. BW/BW2 Elite Four 3. D/P Cynthia 2. Prof Sada and Turo 1. Platinum Frontier Brain Theme
The main pick I was missing as I got to the top 5 was the gen 3 rival theme, then when Cynthia was #2 I couldn't imagine what #1 would be, so what a pleasant surprise! Very good dark horse pick.

It sound like a 20 years old laptop and it’s normal, technology weren’t developed enough when those versions came out. I don’t blame anyone for those music and they are not bad at all, just the technology was bad. There is remakes for those themes. No way he put his stupid nostalgia over a real objective classement. Because ORAS are good remakes, the ost remakes are better too. The worst Pokémon music classement I have ever witnessed.
It being the theme for the secret steven fight makes it go that much harder - they acknowledge your character is strong enough to have a master Champion as a *rival*
@@issiaka269 This is just my personal opinion, but I think that there is something good about that GBA sound source. Of course, the sounds of ORAS songs are very beautiful and I like them, but there are also sound quality that could only be produced in games from 20 years ago, and instrument sounds that haven't yet been able to express an orchestra. I like Rubisafa's BGM including all of them.
SM’s soundtrack will always be nostalgic to me, Sun was the first pokemon game I ever got and played all the way through. I was 7 when it came out. Now I’m almost ready to drive. I still have my original cartridge. Man, does the music bring back memories.
that’s crazy to hear bc i remember picking it up my senior year of high school and being in a limbo where i’d have just about given up on pokemon. SM was the nail in the coffin for me and got me to quit for a good 5 years before finally returning back to the series
My top 5: 5. Wally ORAS 4. Gym Leader FRLG 3. Lance/Red GSC 2. Cynthia DPP 1. Rival RSE There are many many many themes I don’t recall, such as most of gens 5-7, and I haven’t played gen 9 yet
I was shocked to see my favorite (Sw&Sh Gym Leader) so far behind. Amazing list however. And I appreciate the suspense for the top 20 in the description
Thank you so much for this playlist !!! I'm 33 years old, I grew up with all generations... and I have to admit that SADA/TURO OST is the best of all time, what an epic song !
Not including Lysandre's XY/USUM theme, Cyrus's USUM theme, origin Dialga or Palkia theme, legends Arceus Giratina's theme, Legends Arceus Arceus's theme, Ultra Necrozma theme or Paradox mons theme is a criminal offence
I appreciate that you actually had a good mix of gens; it felt like you were actually judging based on the music and not any bias towards which games you might prefer. Because obviously all Pokemon games have good songs in them. I would argue that increasing audio fidelity means that the last few gens can reach even greater heights, but it's awesome that older ones can still compete, especially since they all have remakes now. I guess you didn't include Legends Arceus though? The Origin Forme Palkia/Dialga fight theme is currently my #1 favorite Pokemon song. Others in my top ten would be Team Star Admin, Island Kahuna, Eternatus Phase 3, Red/Lance, Unova Elite Four, and the Reshiram/Zekrom fight theme.
Good video. And good choice of themes. IMO: 5. Vs N final B&W 4. Vs Cyrus D/P/P 3. Vs Elite four Alola S&M 2. Vs Red/Lance HG&SS 1. Vs Cynthia D/P/P Honorable mentions: Vs Bede S&S, Vs Marnie final battle S&S, Vs Champion hau US/UM, Vs Lusamine first battle S&M, Vs Guzma S&M, Vs Blue FR/LG, Vs Colress B&W2, Vs Champion Iris B&W2
The fact that the Scarlet and Violet tracks placed so highly, placing higher than some classics even without the backing of years (and in some cases, decades) of nostalgia, demonstrates the true quality and raw power of the SV ost. The ost, especially the professors theme, is criminally underrated amongst the Pokémon community. I also think that what you did for the description of the video is a creative idea. I disagree with some placements, but as a whole it is a solid list.
This is interesting. I think that when you do a list like this, you have to be careful with the new games and new songs because it's easy to think that the song is really good, but then stop feeling the same after some years. The thing is that you never know if this is gonna happen. One of the main differences between my first top 50 battle themes and this, is that several 8th generation themes fell in a lower position on the new video, and the reason is what I said... I meant, I love the new themes, specially the professors and the team star themes, but at the same time I'm kind of afraid about if in 10, 15, 20 years I'll think the same. The first time I listened the 3rd generation rival theme I thought it was great, and after 20 years I still thinking the same😄
Nothing but bangers on this list. Me and my homies always bop to the battle themes But dude.. the R/B/Y GYM BATTLE theme is ABOVE?! the R/B/Y TRAINER BATTLE theme!? R/B/Y trainer battle theme is a master class in freeflowing composing fr Nd thnx for introducing me to the Arvin battle theme it's 🔥
Hey! Yes I know about the Trainer Battle RBY composing, but I love how intimidating Gym Battle sounds! That's why is above. By the way, Scarlet and Violet have some great themes! Did you check the team star themes (number 12 and number 9)?
Hmm Intimidating is a right description. The common traits i see in the most popular battle themes is that aggressive pressure to disorganize us and to never let us rest, which is indeed intimidating lol Therefore I respect your reasoning to put it where its at But yes, the Team Star theme, Penny's theme i find quality pieces as well, all discovered thnx to your selection so i have added them to my YT playlist. Also, I actually never fully listened to Hop's battle theme until ur list lol Thnx for the content!
Battle! Giratina is my ultimate favorite Pokemon OST.... not just battle theme!! My favorite track. Period. But it doesn't seem to be a particularly popular one. :') Was excited my other top three (Zero Lab and Ultra Necrozma) made an appearance, though! I really do like a lot of battle themes... it's mostly what I listen to when I listen to Pokemon music... kind of makes me want to make my own list.... lol. Great video!
I’m thinking the only ones I would have included would have been Lysander’s theme, the legendary battles for solgaleo/lunala and ho-oh, the xerneas/yveltal theme and the hoenn weather trio theme
My top ten 1. Battle! Team star boss 2. Battle! Team Magma/aqua boss ORAS 3. Cyrus USUM 4. Battle! Rival Bede 5. Battle! Colress 6. Battle! Team skull admin 7. Kalos elite 4 theme 8. Hoenn rival theme 9. Gladions theme 10. Battle! Regi trio Honourable mentions Battle! rival marnie, Battle! Ultra necrozma, ghetsis USUM, Lusamines theme, Lysandre USUM, battle! Team star Oleana's theme, Ai sada/turo, Battle! Team skull grunt
No way Cynthia in BDSP and Evice in Colosseum are far harder than Volo It took me 60 attempts to defeat Cynthia in Diamond (DS) and Evice in Colosseum and 56 attempts to defeat Volo. Volo is a tough battle but its not a patch on Cynthia & Evice
@@flo4130 14 when I faced Evice and 17 the very first time I faced Cynthia on Diamond and Pearl and 19 when I faced her in Platinum I was almost 32 when I first faced Volo
@@flo4130 I was 31 when I first played BDSP and then two months later when Legends Arceus was released was 32 in the middle of 2022 I was 14 when I first battled Evice 17 when I faced Cynthia in Diamond & Pearl 19 when I faced Cynthia in Platinum 31 when I faced Volo in Legends Arceus
Gotta say, there's a lot of nostalgia here with these themes. My Top Ten (there was one I ALMOST forgot until I heard it here) are as follows: 10. Gym Leader Battle - Pokémon Sword and Shield (Barely got beat out by the next one) 9. Elite Four Battle - Pokémon Sun and Moon (This one sounded more intimidating than most of the other Elite Four Battles.) 8. Legendary Battle (XY Legendaries) - Pokémon X and Y 7. Champion Diantha - Pokémon X and Y 6. Champion Steven - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (the original one is still good too) 5. Champion Cynthia - Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Haven't gotten to her yet in Shining Pearl, so I hope it stacks up to this one!) 4. Rival Gladion - Pokémon Sun/Moon (Had one of the best Rival arcs I've seen.) 3. Champion Defense - Pokémon Sun/Moon (This one was really the first time I felt like a Champion and getting to take on other challengers, with a new one each time you completed the Elite Four) 2. Team Star Grunt Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (By far the BEST of all the Grunt Battle themes so far. Wish you could hear it more after you beat them all, though.) 1. AI Professor Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (I love this theme to death! It's so awesome, but sadly, we never get to hear it again, ever... Not even during the post-game.)
I also made a list with, funnily enough, also exactly 50, and there are so many picks here that are really uncommon but the same for me as well. I love the gen 3 rival theme so much and it's awesome to see you appreciate it! Really nice idea with the retro font for each title too
@@acordsjuganers Try if this works, it's unlisted: ruclips.net/p/PLQ62Jlf1yP6nKrY8xfSFzu6guV74sy_oy Starts with #1 descending :) I'll make some changes here and there, but this is how mine looks roughly
(Sigh) 😔 Not many people appreciate Geeta's theme; does every theme needs to be excellent acoustically and not much structurally? These two terms, although going hand-to-hand, definitely appeal as distinct features in Geeta's theme. Everyone loves listening to the type of music they love to hear; like the loud melody in Team Star Admin Theme, or the feeling of ultimate moment in Blue's theme, or even the fight-or-flight jerk in Cynthia's theme, but can we listen beyond what we adore and appreciate this battle theme it is deserving of?
I agree with your point of view. I believe you expressed it quite effectively. As you are aware, the video is merely my view, and despite the fact that Geeta's theme has an unusual structure, that it is a long, energetic, and original theme, I just like it. At last, you can admire a song and understand that it's good, but that doesn't mean you'll like it right away. I can think of other video game tracks when the same thing happened to me, but I'm sure it's happened to you as well. I waited the entire game to hear the Paldea champion's music, and when I did, I didn't get the same feeling I did with the other ones. For me, the theme of Diantha, whose theme almost no one likes, is still a legitimate contender as a champion theme. But, in the end, this is just my opinion. I understand that it's a good song structurally, and I can see why you like it. Thanks for the comment!
Gen 3 Rival battle needs more love, the original specifically. While I don't think it's the best pokemon battle theme, it's definitely one of my favorites.
Personal Top 5 5- 00:21:20 4- 00:43:50 3- 01:08:16 (but the Emerald version) 2- 00:08:12 1- 01:12:35 Special mention: Gym Leader Battle from Pokémon Stadium 1. Very bold choice for your #1. It gives a lot of personality to this list and I love this. The transition was so good and caught me so unexpectedly that for a second I felt in 2003 again. I'm willing to guess that Ruby/Sapphire was your first Pokemon game?
When i first heard the eternathus them i knew that it was the last pokemon game i'll try having fun i cried hard saying goodbye to my childwood that nigth. i gave me a big smile of nostalgia with this video thx
My favorite theme of all time may not the in the number 1 spot... But 13 is favorite number so its fine xD Can't help shedding a tear every time I listen to that theme, the happiness it used to give me as a child was enormous.......
I love Pokémon S/V's musics, my favorites are Penny's theme, Ai Sada/Turo' theme and Team Star Boss theme ;D I also like Pokémon SW/SH gym theme , its so cool
List of themes I mostly like in this video: 3:15 B2W2 Team Neo Plasma Grunt 6:22 XY Kanto Legendary 10:01 BDSP Elite 4 13:03 SM Elite 4 14:22 HGSS Team Rocket 15:41 SwSh Eternatus Phase 3 19:52 XY Trainer 21:20 SwSh Marnie 22:42 ORAS Elite 4 28:39 SwSh Gym Leader 33:39 BW Elite 4 45:38 RS Steven 1:03:58 B2W2 PWT Final 1:12:35 SV Team Star Squad Boss 1:15:41 SM Champion
Commenting for bump due to the effort you musta gone through for the visual effects. Hella extra mile stuff right here; not to mention the based choice of battle osts
My top 5: 5. Zinnia (ORAS) 4. Team Plasma (BW) 3. Giratina (PT) 2. Gym Leader (BW) 1. Hau’s Champion Battle (USUM) I’m super shocked that Hau’s champion theme is this slept on

You should listen to the Smash Ultimate remix. It's a certified banger
the Gen 3 and Gen 5 e4 themes outrank the Gen 7 e4 theme by a mile my dudes.

Thank you so much for this playlist !!! I'm 33 years old, I grew up with all generations... and I have to admit that SADA/TURO OST is the best of all time, what an epic song !
47:03 unbeatable
this with the blade cutting the screen intro was toptier
the most headbanging theme
REAL
the theme is fire 🔥
Frfr I hate these 3 but the theme is one of my favourite
Not including Lysandre's XY/USUM theme, Cyrus's USUM theme, origin Dialga or Palkia theme, legends Arceus Giratina's theme, Legends Arceus Arceus's theme, Ultra Necrozma theme or Paradox mons theme is a criminal offence
I appreciate that you actually had a good mix of gens; it felt like you were actually judging based on the music and not any bias towards which games you might prefer. Because obviously all Pokemon games have good songs in them. I would argue that increasing audio fidelity means that the last few gens can reach even greater heights, but it's awesome that older ones can still compete, especially since they all have remakes now.
I guess you didn't include Legends Arceus though? The Origin Forme Palkia/Dialga fight theme is currently my #1 favorite Pokemon song. Others in my top ten would be Team Star Admin, Island Kahuna, Eternatus Phase 3, Red/Lance, Unova Elite Four, and the Reshiram/Zekrom fight theme.
It’s really neat how you put timestamps for everything but hid the top 20 song choices and top 10 song and game choices!
Thank you for making these top 50 videos! Finding so much good music c: the editing is so good too!!
Ngl, ALL of these hit so hard.
team star boss theme is the first pokemon theme that made me pay attention to the theme music. its so damn good
Good video. And good choice of themes.
IMO:
5. Vs N final B&W
4. Vs Cyrus D/P/P
3. Vs Elite four Alola S&M
2. Vs Red/Lance HG&SS
1. Vs Cynthia D/P/P
Honorable mentions: Vs Bede S&S, Vs Marnie final battle S&S, Vs Champion hau US/UM, Vs Lusamine first battle S&M, Vs Guzma S&M, Vs Blue FR/LG, Vs Colress B&W2, Vs Champion Iris B&W2
My top 5 in no order in particular:
Gladion's theme
Blue's theme (LG/FR)
Cynthia's theme (DPPt)
Ho-oh's Theme (ORAS)
Penny's theme
I have never seen some of the top ten in anyone’s top ten but respect
The fact that the Scarlet and Violet tracks placed so highly, placing higher than some classics even without the backing of years (and in some cases, decades) of nostalgia, demonstrates the true quality and raw power of the SV ost. The ost, especially the professors theme, is criminally underrated amongst the Pokémon community. I also think that what you did for the description of the video is a creative idea. I disagree with some placements, but as a whole it is a solid list.
Personally I think legends arceus did a better job with the music if we’re talking modern games
This is interesting. I think that when you do a list like this, you have to be careful with the new games and new songs because it's easy to think that the song is really good, but then stop feeling the same after some years. The thing is that you never know if this is gonna happen.
One of the main differences between my first top 50 battle themes and this, is that several 8th generation themes fell in a lower position on the new video, and the reason is what I said...
I meant, I love the new themes, specially the professors and the team star themes, but at the same time I'm kind of afraid about if in 10, 15, 20 years I'll think the same. The first time I listened the 3rd generation rival theme I thought it was great, and after 20 years I still thinking the same😄
That’s one thing that Game Frak has always gotten right. Music. I don’t think anyone will argue that fact.
Gen 5 Elite Four should be way higher imo. Also, glad you put that Champion Blue there, lots of people sleep on it.
Yall are tripping bc i dont see Gen 9 Elite Four anywhere in these comments, and that is a certified bop
Nothing but bangers on this list. Me and my homies always bop to the battle themes
But dude.. the R/B/Y GYM BATTLE theme is ABOVE?! the R/B/Y TRAINER BATTLE theme!?
R/B/Y trainer battle theme is a master class in freeflowing composing fr
Nd thnx for introducing me to the Arvin battle theme it's 🔥
Hey! Yes I know about the Trainer Battle RBY composing, but I love how intimidating Gym Battle sounds! That's why is above.
By the way, Scarlet and Violet have some great themes! Did you check the team star themes (number 12 and number 9)?
Hmm Intimidating is a right description. The common traits i see in the most popular battle themes is that aggressive pressure to disorganize us and to never let us rest, which is indeed intimidating lol
Therefore I respect your reasoning to put it where its at
But yes, the Team Star theme, Penny's theme i find quality pieces as well, all discovered thnx to your selection so i have added them to my YT playlist.
Also, I actually never fully listened to Hop's battle theme until ur list lol
Thnx for the content!
Battle! Giratina is my ultimate favorite Pokemon OST.... not just battle theme!! My favorite track. Period. But it doesn't seem to be a particularly popular one. :')
Was excited my other top three (Zero Lab and Ultra Necrozma) made an appearance, though! I really do like a lot of battle themes... it's mostly what I listen to when I listen to Pokemon music... kind of makes me want to make my own list.... lol. Great video!
Nice a new top !
I like the top 10
My favorite theme is Silver from HGSS
I love silvers encounter music, when I was a kid I would just let it play for a min before I actually fought him haha
Oh that May/Brendan theme appreciation deserves a sub holy moly
You like the the Hoenn Rival theme aswell? Good to see that someone else recognizes it! :D
HGSS rival theme and (underrated opinion) johto trainer theme should have been here but man, number #1 is SMTH ELSE
Not an underated opinion I agree with this
1 AI Turo and Sada
2 Penny
3 Ultra Necrozma
4 Leon
5 Volo
Now that the indigo disk is released, Kieran’s champion theme is literally number one! It’s too good!!
The Hoenn Rival theme is too epic for how easy the battles are, I remember as a kid prolonging the fights just to listen to the theme
YESSS the gen 3 battle theme is soooo goood.
It’s your tier list but i would put Zinnia’s Battle theme and Zinnia Sorrow in first.
But still a great tier list!
I’m thinking the only ones I would have included would have been Lysander’s theme, the legendary battles for solgaleo/lunala and ho-oh, the xerneas/yveltal theme and the hoenn weather trio theme
This video is both nostalgic and is helping me focus studying for exams, thank you for this
Never let bro cook again 💀
Fr 💀
Facts
I haven't heard the first one at all and was very surprised by how good it sounds 😲
My top ten
1. Battle! Team star boss
2. Battle! Team Magma/aqua boss ORAS
3. Cyrus USUM
4. Battle! Rival Bede
5. Battle! Colress
6. Battle! Team skull admin
7. Kalos elite 4 theme

9. Gladions theme

Honourable mentions

Chills 🥶 1:06:35
Also, final volo fight in legends Arceus is true number one
No way Cynthia in BDSP and Evice in Colosseum are far harder than Volo
It took me 60 attempts to defeat Cynthia in Diamond (DS) and Evice in Colosseum and 56 attempts to defeat Volo.
Volo is a tough battle but its not a patch on Cynthia & Evice
@@AdamDawson3 ok but how old were you when you fighted Cynthia and Evice ?
@@flo4130 14 when I faced Evice and 17 the very first time I faced Cynthia on Diamond and Pearl and 19 when I faced her in Platinum
I was almost 32 when I first faced Volo
@@flo4130 I was 31 when I first played BDSP and then two months later when Legends Arceus was released was 32 in the middle of 2022
I was 14 when I first battled Evice
17 when I faced Cynthia in Diamond & Pearl
19 when I faced Cynthia in Platinum
31 when I faced Volo in Legends Arceus
Love your list and this a very well made video!
Hell yeah, finally someone who loves the RSE Rival theme as much as me!
Im super surprised zinnia's theme from oras and either version of the aqua/magma leader theme isnt here
mi pana, usted hizo este top escuchando la musica con los pies
I like your top ! ❤
Gotta say, there's a lot of nostalgia here with these themes. My Top Ten (there was one I ALMOST forgot until I heard it here) are as follows:
10. Gym Leader Battle - Pokémon Sword and Shield (Barely got beat out by the next one)
9. Elite Four Battle - Pokémon Sun and Moon (This one sounded more intimidating than most of the other Elite Four Battles.)
8. Legendary Battle (XY Legendaries) - Pokémon X and Y
7. Champion Diantha - Pokémon X and Y
6. Champion Steven - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (the original one is still good too)
5. Champion Cynthia - Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Haven't gotten to her yet in Shining Pearl, so I hope it stacks up to this one!)
4. Rival Gladion - Pokémon Sun/Moon (Had one of the best Rival arcs I've seen.)
3. Champion Defense - Pokémon Sun/Moon (This one was really the first time I felt like a Champion and getting to take on other challengers, with a new one each time you completed the Elite Four)
2. Team Star Grunt Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (By far the BEST of all the Grunt Battle themes so far. Wish you could hear it more after you beat them all, though.)
1. AI Professor Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (I love this theme to death! It's so awesome, but sadly, we never get to hear it again, ever... Not even during the post-game.)
About the ai professor theme, I believe you can use it when you do online battles so that's one way to hear it again!
I really like your top 10! 💪🏼
I also made a list with, funnily enough, also exactly 50, and there are so many picks here that are really uncommon but the same for me as well.
I love the gen 3 rival theme so much and it's awesome to see you appreciate it!
Really nice idea with the retro font for each title too
Oh! I would love to check the list! Do you mind to share it?
@@acordsjuganers Try if this works, it's unlisted: ruclips.net/p/PLQ62Jlf1yP6nKrY8xfSFzu6guV74sy_oy
Starts with #1 descending :) I'll make some changes here and there, but this is how mine looks roughly
(Sigh) 😔 Not many people appreciate Geeta's theme; does every theme needs to be excellent acoustically and not much structurally? These two terms, although going hand-to-hand, definitely appeal as distinct features in Geeta's theme. Everyone loves listening to the type of music they love to hear; like the loud melody in Team Star Admin Theme, or the feeling of ultimate moment in Blue's theme, or even the fight-or-flight jerk in Cynthia's theme, but can we listen beyond what we adore and appreciate this battle theme it is deserving of?
Personally don’t agree but good opinion
I agree with your point of view. I believe you expressed it quite effectively.
As you are aware, the video is merely my view, and despite the fact that Geeta's theme has an unusual structure, that it is a long, energetic, and original theme, I just like it.
At last, you can admire a song and understand that it's good, but that doesn't mean you'll like it right away.
I can think of other video game tracks when the same thing happened to me, but I'm sure it's happened to you as well.
I waited the entire game to hear the Paldea champion's music, and when I did, I didn't get the same feeling I did with the other ones. For me, the theme of Diantha, whose theme almost no one likes, is still a legitimate contender as a champion theme.
But, in the end, this is just my opinion. I understand that it's a good song structurally, and I can see why you like it. Thanks for the comment!
Yeah that's the only good thing about her lol
I disagree on all you've said but I'll respect your views
Personally I like it. I love how it has references to different Pokémon battle themes, and most of them are some of my favorites.
Gen 3 Rival battle needs more love, the original specifically. While I don't think it's the best pokemon battle theme, it's definitely one of my favorites.
Blue's theme, the Team Star boss' themes, and Cynthia's will always be the best Pokemon battle themes to exist for me
Personal Top 5
5- 00:21:20
4- 00:43:50
3- 01:08:16 (but the Emerald version)
2- 00:08:12
1- 01:12:35
Special mention: Gym Leader Battle from Pokémon Stadium 1.
Very bold choice for your #1. It gives a lot of personality to this list and I love this. The transition was so good and caught me so unexpectedly that for a second I felt in 2003 again. I'm willing to guess that Ruby/Sapphire was your first Pokemon game?
Gen 3 rival battle is unmatched fr hoenn music is SO GOOD. Totally agree that the og version is better than the omega/alpha version!
such a well edited video :) good job!
but you forgot to include giratina, that should be number one 😅
I completely agree with you :D
Yesss the gen 3 appreciation is realll❤
When i first heard the eternathus them i knew that it was the last pokemon game i'll try having fun i cried hard saying goodbye to my childwood that nigth. i gave me a big smile of nostalgia with this video thx
you know it’s a good playlist when ultra necrozma is number five
Good #1 !
Perfect choice for #1. This song is everything a high voltage pokemon battle would feel like.
I knew Cynthia theme couldn't be added in this list WITHOUT the "Approaching Cynthia" theme. :P
Champion Kieran not being anywhere in this is a crime
Yeah. *electric guitar riff intensifies*
I've been binging on Suicune's theme for quite a while, so imagine my shock when I learn it is number THREE on this list.
18:09 That positioning of Lopunny be kinda sus 👀
This is just what I needed to be listening to while I organize my Home boxes🎉
55:36 is just like perfect song sound
Chairman Rose’s Theme should be included, it gives me chills every time I hear it!!
Ngl, I don’t care about the list. I’m just enjoying the music
My favorite theme of all time may not the in the number 1 spot...
But 13 is favorite number so its fine xD
Can't help shedding a tear every time I listen to that theme, the happiness it used to give me as a child was enormous.......
I love Pokémon S/V's musics, my favorites are Penny's theme, Ai Sada/Turo' theme and Team Star Boss theme ;D
I also like Pokémon SW/SH gym theme , its so cool
No team skull theme, gotta throw the whole list out, now

2. Gym Leader (BW)
1. Hau’s Champion Battle (USUM)
