>Sun and Moon only has 4 route themes. One for each Island.

I can't it is pure lazyness

/vp/ will defend anything

>Sun and Moon are the only games besides gen 4 that day/night themes for most locations

Just watch. People will try to defend this. You can't, it's pure lazyness
just accept that Red,Blue Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, HGSS, BW-BW2, XY-ORAS are complete shit because of that

>>31197891
and XY had shit tons of route themes that were all indistinguishable

>>31197891
I didn't even notice that.

And I don't even mind.

>>31197891
Didn't XY only have like 3 route themes? I certainly only remember three of them.

>>31198077

XY used the same route theme from route 8 all the way to the desert.

Also Melemelee Island has like three route themes, yet the rest have one. I got really sick of the intro to the third island's route theme.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>>31197891
Pretty much this. Most of SM's music are pretty much indistinguishable. The wild Pokémon battle theme is also really boring.

>we'll never get a game with music as diverse and amazing as gen 5

>>31198216
>gen 5

Melemele had two route themes for a total of five.
I think r/b had four and the rest had five or six new ones each.
Seems like a silly thing to nitpick but this is an obvious bait thread anyway.

>>31198231
The gen with the best soundtrack, yes.

>>31198186
Some of the themes are really good. The Skull themes and the two Rival themes are pretty good.

Other themes, though, like the E4 and Champion themes, can't stand up in the slightest to past entries in these categories. Even fucking XY got that shit right, and XY got almost nothing right. The E4 theme for SM sounds like I'm supposed to be fighting some generic secondary villain, not carving my way to the top of Alola's best trainers. The Champion theme starts strong but loses its steam after the intro riff, becoming a mediocre remix of the Pokemon theme that I already heard before I even started the game.

>>31198125
Route 1,2,4,8,14,15,19

Kalos had pretty much the same amount as Hoenn. Both had also had an additional track for a single route. Route 113 in Hoenn and Route 14 in Kalos.

>>31198278
>but loses its steam after the intro riff
Did you only listen to the intro?
Listen to the whole thing dumbass, as generic as SM's soundtrack is that one is an amazing representation of a the climax of the game and the culmination of your journey.

>>31198275
>best soundtrack

>>31198275
Wether you like Gen 5's music or not, you gotta admit, it does have far more variety than any other generation.

>>31198341
Of all gens, yes.

>>31198360
>Of all gens

>>31198332
It's a remix of the original pokemon theme. Remixes of songs you've heard a hundred times before are weak. It was lazy sound production and it should've been a brand-new track.

If it was going to be a remix, they should've reserved it for ONLY that section of the game, not played it at the fucking opening credits AND the title screen.

>>31198216
>we'll never get a game with music as diverse and amazing as gen 5
>With Gen 4/7 style Day/Night tracks

>>31198373
Out of every Pokemon game created, yes.

>>31198447
Post your examples than

I play the game on mute.

Also botched one of Sopho's questions with that lol was worth to see his shocked

>>31198089
same, i didn't even notice until it was pointed out here.

It's a missed opportunity though, could have done much more

>>31197891
Honestly, how many route themes do you actually remember? I didn't even noticed that SM fact until you pointed out.

The only routes themes I can remember is route 209 and 217.

>>31198216
besides route 10 and the starting ones in the sequels i found the route themes in unova pretty boring
the town themes were the biggest hits imo

How am I supposed to defend it when I don't know what's wrong with it in the first place?

>>31197891
I'm not going to defend it because there's no reason to care. It's literally insignificant.

>>31198908
Except that music makes up a third of the medium we know as video games.
The atmosphere set by the music was as unchanging as the protagonist's face.

>>31198939
The route themes were always the least memorable music in any of the games.

>>31198169
Anonymity is cancer. Everyone should be forced to use a tripcode here.

>>31198037
>Most Locations

Uhh what? Ciatation needed. Tge only areas that have day/night themes are towns/cities, of which Alola has the least of any core series region.

You also sabotaged yourself by mentioning DPP, because Sinnoh has Day/night themes for towns/cities AND routes. Its soundtrack eclipses Alolas in variety.

Think before you spurg out you fucking idiot.

They're also really fucking good themes and tie the island together.

>>31198186
>wild pokemon battle theme boring
>boring
are you shitting me? like are you really fucking serious? boring. that's the word you would use? boring. the battle theme is a fucking piece of shit and the reason i'm playing the whole game without sound. so i didn't even notice that there are only 4 route themes. who cares about the route themes when the battle song sound this disgusting? fuck masuda for being such a shithead and writing a song as abysmal as this.

>>31199261
Nah senpai.

Unique gym themes were one of the main things that I was really sore about beign missing from XY when it came to gyms. That and the unique exteriors.

>>31199307
I can't tell if you're being ironic or not.

>>31199228
yes but all others don't have day/night themes at all excluding soaring in ORAS and the battle theme in GSC

So all those games are automatically shit because i said so

>>31198842
>posting Clay's gym theme and not Burghs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

>Quantity over Quality fags
Fuck off. If at least 90% of the soundtrack is good, it doesn't matter how many individual tracks there are.

>But mu-muh day/night themes for areas!
Quantity means NOTHING in the face of good quality. If there were 3 tracks in the game, all of which were A+ tracks, nobody would give a shit.

Meh, didn't notice. Noticed only one encounter theme for regular Trainers but with a different "spotted" strum at the start, but not few route themes. I don't really pay attention to it though, Johto's the only region I listen long and close to route themes because they're actually good there.

>>31200140
You don't realize how much of a masterpiece gen 5 is than with its diversity

>GF not have a QA person to make sure these tracks are great

Go back to gen 1, retard.

>>31197891
I play with my sounds off 95% of the time, only on during Team Skull/Guzma/Plumeria moments.

>>31200434
>diversity

When did Pokemon become fucking Tumblr?

>>31197891

Good thing the route themes are some of the best route themes in the series.

Even though Route9's theme is literally half the route themes in the game, I'll never get tired of listening to it.

Keep being retarded, it's funny.

I won't defend this because you're right, SM does have a lacklustre soundtrack compared to other regions.
I think the main thing that bothers me about the only 4 different route themes (5, actually, because route 1 has it's own theme) is that it negatively affects the atmosphere of exploring the region.
It doesn't make sense to me that all of UlaUla has the exact same route theme when route 16, the meadow, the space mountain, tapu village, blush mountain, etc, are all so vastly different to each other. The reason some areas are a lot more memorable than others are partly inspired by the music, as music tends to emotionally affect and manipulate media in every instance. Which is why having a strong soundtrack that adds to the atmosphere is so important.
I think that's why I like Vast Poni Canyon as an area more than anywhere else. Because the music for it is unique and also doesn't get cancelled out by the ride music.
That being said, I think SM did do reoccuring themes and some battle themes right because hearing Lillie's theme incorporated into the Solgaleo/Lunala theme and the Aether paradise theme in Guzma's battle theme is A+
