From guards to pirates… *_what went wrong here N? Not paying your grunts anymore?_*

Looks like Excadrill got late again

MY SON

I don’t like Nemona But damn is her theme good

0:10 asriel from the hit game undertale?!?!

I feel like this was suppossed to be an Ultra Beast theme but they ran out of dev time and decided to chuck it somewhere it kinda fit.

He’s my emo ginger precious boy. I would kill for him

As an ultra sun player, I'm now sad that this is what I missed out on

Hot take, but this sounds more like the GB sounds from HGSS rather then an actual gameboy theme. The GB sounds had a very...specific sound to it and I hear it here

0:13 Why am I getting Hoenn vibes from the trumpets-

Bernard Stravenue

Let me out! LET ME OUUUUUUUT!!!

One of the only pokemon battle songs that hit hard as fuck- (let me know if there are others tho lol)

hop was definitely the happiest when the dogs arrived because his dubwool was finally allowed to kill itself ☺

*Get.In.The.Freaking.Ball*

I feel like this is inadvertently the most dynamic song in the entire ost. A crowd cheering on a match that they have no foundation to understand the depth to, just yelling away hyping you up while hop has to fight not only you but the cheers you're receiving. The pace of the song goes back and forth so much, simple easy to follow motifs into break away desperate piano pushed forward into a higher tempo with energetic claps. The entire thing feels like you're completely overwhelming this person, your friend, and you aren't even making it close. Completely a brutal shutdown of his dreams in front of an entire region and the song is simultaneously gearing you up while also reminding you who you're doing this to and how severely.

I thank the gods every day that Whiteney's Miltank did not know defense curl.

My first playthrough of Sapphire and it being my first handheld game. (I played Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 for the minigames) i had the most diabolocal idiotic team not taking type matchups into consideration. I ran a Swampert, Absol, Breloom, Manectric, Kyogre, and Mightyena. 2 dark types, 2 water types, an electric, and a grass. Needless to say... Drake was a problem until i got ice beam on Kyogre.

Cool song

At 1:09, the leitmotif is that of the gym leader theme from RSE. I wonder if that was hinting at some Diantha backstory that didn’t make the Final Cut. Hoenn was the introduction of contests after all, and Diantha as a trainer felt more focused on presentation than power. Extra: her signature Mon is Gardevoir, a gen 3 Pokémon, her team composition bears resemblance to Steven’s, and ORAS came out two years later as part of the Gen 6.

The Gyarados earthquake 🔥🔥🔥 sadly his gyarados is slower

Everybody gangsta, 'til they come back to read this Bede quote...: "It was Oleana who asked me to gather Wishing Stars for the chairman, but then the chairman himself disowned me... And then that strange old lady comes out of nowhere and drags me into a boot camp on Fairy-type Pokémon! Do you have any idea what I've been through?! Covered in pink, dealing with quizzes and battles with Fairy-type Pokémon every day! And here I am, pouring my heart out to you... when I've never lost my cool before!"

pokemon showdown???

"this is gonna be a snoozer of a battle theme, considering Penny is- 🕺💃💃💃🕺🕺"

im from Scotland so i guess this is my wild theme...

Davon Row

This is what youngster Joey hears when I fight him.

1:34 I always imagined this as Cyrus' rise through team galactic, recruiting more and more grunts

This is honestly a lot better than the original love it.

The one rival in the whole franchise that I genuinely cannot stand.

I Love you Pokeli

Oh look at me I'm Leon! I got 4 starters on my team!

"2025 Ain't Gonna Be That Bad" 2025:

THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE THEME I PLAYED ORAS THIS YEAR AND LISTENED TO THIS SONG OMG I LOVE IT

The best Pokemon rival

貴方は主イエスを知って従って居ますか? 主イエス丈が貴方を永遠の地獄から救い、天の王国に連れて行き、罪を悔い改めれば永遠の命と永遠の喜びを与えて下さるのです。彼は貴方を深く愛して居ます。此の輝かしい機会を御見逃し無く。 (ヨハネ14章6節)

Everybody gangsta until the toy piano starts playing

The shiny hunting theme

I like the whimsical tone to this to show he has kind of lost the plot and is a bit insane. I think this battle is perfect even though I hated doing it lol
