>SM has loads of good music in areas you only really visit

...Aside from ultra space and the aether invasion you can listen to everything just fine. Glad that GF got some sense and let the battle tree have all the important battle themes instead of just 4 or 5 like the maison. No one wants to listen to that shitty gym leader theme.

>>31041072
why do they even have a pokeride theme? you never had normal music unless you dont use your rides like an autist

hear*

Go listen to each gen's wild Pokemon battle music in order. You can hear it steadily go from
>This is a dangerous wild animal that would certainly harm me if my own Pokemon was not protecting me
to
>BATTLES ARE SO FUN, LET'S HAVE FUN WITH THIS WILD FRIEND THAT APPEARED!

This happens too with rival themes. God, I fucking hate Trainer/WilPoke/Rival/Kahuna themes of SM. Give me more Aether/Lusamine/E4 tier music ffs GF REEEEEEEEEE

>>31041858
That's a bad case of shit taste you got there, kiddo.

>>31042156
> kiddo

Says the Gen 4 fan. Ok man.

>>31041858
Gen 4 had an outstanding soundtrack, whatever other issues you have with it. It's one of my least favorite gens, but I'll freely acknowledge its good points.

You must have some Shrek-tier clogged wax buildup to not appreciate that music, dumb cunt.

>>31041141
Same reason why they had a Bicycle Theme.

>>31042545
The bike theme would fade out when you entered a new area so you could listen to the actual music instead of Banjo Simulator 2016

>>31042456
>but I'll freely acknowledge its good points.
The composition was terrible and the few that were acceptable were either incredibly dull, marred by the sound font, or thematically distant from the theme of pokemon.

didn't know pokemon music had its own preset theme in the first place.

>>31042890
>thematically distant from the theme of pokemon

We're talking about Gen 4 here, not Gen 5.

>>31043007
What I mean is that gen 4 doesn't match Pokemon's theme of adventure and exploration.

>>31043043
THIS

>>31043043
Gen 5 doesn't feel like a boring stroll in the park.
4 does on the other hand.

>>31043204
Hey, Amity Square was cool, don't bully.

>>31041072
Seafolk Village has a nice theme, but a lot of the music in SM is "uuh.. yeah.." or "heeeeyo ooga booga" bullshit. It's a shame, because some of them would be great without that tribal junk.

>>31043281
That's one of the good ones because it's meant to be a boring stroll. The other routes aren't.

>>31043286

what's "tribal" about Aether Foundation, either Lusamine theme, the Skull themes, Gladion, the Champion theme, Hau, or Ultra Space? I can onlythink of the majority of route music, the totem battles theme, and MAYBE the E4 theme which is tops btw

>>31043286
>Tribal Junk
>Bad

>>31043440
Sun/Moon's soundtrack is good when it deviates from generic orchestra riffs. The good stuff is literally everything that isn't that. Poni Canyon, Team Skull, Aether Foundation, town themes (night versions especially)

The ride themes are terrible (except for Lapras)

>>31043003
They just sound like we went to a fucking picnic instead of fighting a rival or the fucking Chief of an island.

I fucking hate that happy hour tone of the themes, the first 3 gens did this pretty good, but after Barry every single rival song was like holding hands and watch butterflies fly.

You realise you're talking about 7 and not 4 right?

>>31043589
I've been talking about SM the whole time, what is your point?

>>31043625
Just that your description doesn't match gen 7's music in the slightest.

>>31043752
Dude, just listen to Kahuna's theme 30s in or Hau's theme.

you're not wrong, anon

>>31043789
Hau's theme mirrors his friendly nature but it's still much too energetic to be picnic tier.
The Kahuna theme starts out tense yet eases up as it goes on without losing the meaning of the theme with parts scattered between to remind you that you're still in a trial

Are you sure you listened to them?

they're trying to push the world as "this is an amazing place to live and you wish you were here", and not Australia 2.0.

>>31043496
They were fun sparring matches, not fights to the death, of course they're cheerful.

Hau is literally just your friend sharing his hobby with you chill

>>31043789
>just listen to Kahuna's theme 30s in
There's your problem, you didn't listen for another 30 seconds.

Why does he have the best theme in the game, bros?

>>31044098
He's a Sinnohfetus. What do you expect?

>>31044165
His theme is alright
but gladion's is my favorite

>>31043496
Eh, only Barry and the XY crew had shit themes in all honesty.

This. The Tapu battle music would have been so much better if some random nigger wasn't screaming tribal shit throughout the entirety of it.

>>31044339
>not enjoying the tribal screaming

Check out this shit taste right here.

>>31041072
People actually play with the sound on? How fucking annoying

>>31043559
There was no story until Po Town! (Granted you get stuck in a story line with no free will for about 3-4 hours

>>31044429
i felt bad for team skull when i was walking around po town and talking to them all. then they 180d all the tension and grief they just built up to say "XD they were BOTH evil"

>>31044357
Seconding this
Unintelligible vocal samples were a boon to this gen's soundtrack

Refresh my memory. What is some good music that is only in one area?

>>31044321
>10 years ago
I was 11 gramps.

But the Poni Wilds theme is amazing and is in several areas?

I wish there were more route themes though. Especially during island 3. The intro to that theme got really old, despite being awesome at first.

>>31044534
Personally I just want individual trainer class encounter themes again.

>>31044498
Aether Battle theme only exists in that literally 10 minute long section during the story. Not counting the Battle Tree of course but I don't really want to listen to any battle theme 50 or more times in a row.

>>31041072
So like...every pokemon game?

>>31044608

Oh that as well. I'm less bothered by this as I never let them play long enough, but one theme was lame regardless.

>>31044608
this. i was so fucking bummed when my second trainer had the exact same encounter theme as the first. probably one of my biggest issues with sm desu

>>31044608
I'm really confused as to why they removed them, especially since they went though the trouble of giving every class a different "!" sound effect anyways.

>>31044184
I hate gen 4, dude

>>31044098
>bw2 rival
shit

>N theme
marvelous, Cheren/Bianca's theme on the other hand...

>Gladion
Good. If you count him as the true rival yeah, but that guy mentioned Hau, not Gladion.

>>31042975
But in this game you have to switch rides often so it's harder to do this.

>>31046231
>shit
Are you deaf or something?

>>31044098
Hugh's theme is too repetitive to be good. People complain about this with Wally, so I don't see why Hugh should get away with it too.

>>31046429
Maybe because Wally's theme is a 20 second loop?

>SM has less variety in encounter themes than RBY

Why the fuck didn't they at least make a theme for male trainers and a theme for female trainers

>>31046429
That's because Wally's theme is a literal 39 second loop with very little variety in its music.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9sX_54hHcEE

Just look here and compare it to Hugh's that doesn't repeat until the minute mark like most themes.

I don't know why they insist on putting shitty bicycle/pokeride music every gen.
