I agree but I also disagree that Sun/Moon were great.

Sun and Moon are showing that Pokemon is losing what made it popular in the first place.

Only 81 new Pokemon and shit characters like Lillie is not what made Pokemon popular.

Let's give credit where it's due. Minako Adachi composed this theme, not Masuda. Minako Adachi did all the Skull, Aether and Lillie related themes.

I guess people can argue about this just because of how hard they choked on the champion theme.. god after listening to the intensity of the E4 and just reaching your last step on to being champion, the music gets retarded is truly unforgivable

Gen4 > Gen 3 > Gen 6 (idk whyi just like it) > Kanto/other Kanto > GEN 7's biggest choke

Eeeuuugh, S&M has the most boring champ music of any Pokemon game.

It wasn't tense, upbeat, fun, whimsical, hectic, or anything along those lines like all past titles.

That was just a heroic remix of the title theme. If anything, it would've worked more as victory song than the song that plays during the battle to end all battles. It was so boring. Totally killed the adrenaline that the E4 gave me.

Fucking loved pretty much all of the other music though.

I was just thinking to myself that the soundtrack was the best in many years.

E4, Lusamine (both), Aether battle, Guzma and TS in general, Nanu, Ten Carat Hill, Ultra Beasts, Legendary battle and many others.

Sounds like you're just suffering from a case of poor taste.

>>30832707

they're all good tracks, no question, the only problem is none of them are MEMORABLE tracks. Gen 1 had kind of shit music, but at least they were catchy. Route 1, pallet town, pokemon center, lavender town, cinnebar mansion, and final rival battle are all the types of tunes that if you hear you would immediately recognize and could whistle along.

all the music past gen 3 are the same boring techno songs that only serve as background noise. The only one that's even kind of memorable is the Team Skull Grunt battle and that's only because it's one of the few songs that actually has words (that's kind of cheating)
>>
>>30829130
The soundtrack in SM is great. Those games literally have the best battle themes in the entire series. Whether we're talking about Team Skull battles, Guzma battles, E4 battles or the champion battle, the music is absolutely top notch. Get your ears checked if you think the soundtrack is bad.

Do people ACTUALLY like Kanto's Wild Pokemon theme?

I mean, it's not awful, and I nostalgia to it somewhat, but just in hindsight, when in comparison to all the other wild battle themes from every other game.

Of all 7 generations it's probably my least favorite wild pokemon theme. Seriously listening to it, it just sounds so bland and uninteresting. I can ONLY picture mashing the run button to get it to end as soon as possibly and it doesn't really hype me up for the battle or to catch what I'm fighting at all. It's just annoying.
