All Pokémon Champ Soundtracks [GEN 1-9] 2022

[@vanillapinkfluff3477]

Both Cynthia and Lances songs gives the feeling that you’re in trouble, this is a very scary battle. Iris and Dianthas themes are so magical, confident and exciting. The sun and moon themes are so happy and sounds like you’ve already won.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Cynthia is still a nightmare 😶

[@TheMineKnight]

In the Sun and Moon games, The last fight is you Defending your Champion Title. So that assessment is pretty accurate.

[@maverickduenes231]

cynthia just gave me anxiety

[@maohemu262]

that's exactly the case on Sun and Moon, you're not battling a champion, you're defending your title AS champion.

[@GabriOneshot]

Steven's theme gives me this too

[@LordLightsk1n]

HGSS Champion theme (20:20) is truly one of my favorite themes. The beginning has this mysterious vibe to it... It hits completely different when battling Red, tho. Like, "Bruh...This Lv 88 Pikachu wylin tf out rn" lol

[@jointser1008]

i prefer a lvl88 pikachu over a lvl88 garchomp tbh (to fight against)

[@LordLightsk1n]

@jointser1008 Oh, for sure. Cynthia's Garchomp was busted lol

[@CaptainRickey]

Personally a bigger fan of the original HS theme. It feels more dramatic, a true theme for a champion's fight. HGSS feels very disappointing. Compare it to everything else in this list and it almost sounds closer to a regular battle fight.

[@shadowfire345yatogodthegam8]

Blue's theme in fire red and leaf grean is absolutely a chill giver

[@TruthTe11er]

Man, that just sounds like a sloppy assault on the eardrums tbh. So many different sounds going on at a crackhead tempo and most of the sounds don't compliment each other.. annoying siren sound effects throughout. Not much harmony, just a bunch of chaos.

[@PropheticMars]

Cynthia’s is unbeatable, but the SunMoon original theme gets me emotional because it feels like you’ve already won and the battle is a celebration of you

[@AndroidHarris]

Its interesting... Sun and moon is my least favorite champion theme for the same reason. I think the credits theme is where you should celebrate not in the final battle.

[@darklex5150]

​@@AndroidHarrisi actually think it's more like, your theme. you won you are the champion dude, every champion has their own theme how could you not have a theme? I think it's really cool.

[@AndroidHarris]

@@darklex5150 but it's just a more congratulatory version of the main pokemon theme/title screen theme. It's not distinctly yours. Red also has a remixed version of the main theme which in turn could be seen as your theme since you fight yourself pretty much. They were trying something new but I just didn't like it as much. Though it's better than la primerib geeta theme. I listened to that one a lot and tried to like it it's actually my least favorite. Nemonia/Paldea 2 goes hard tho.

[@TheMineKnight]

The Sun and Moon one is one of my favourites because it feels like something that is playing for every other Champion, too. It's a Celebration of what it means to be a Pokemon Trainer, especially with the beautiful throwback to the first games at the start. I think my favourite has to be the theme for fighting Lance. His theme is by far the most menacing at start up, and has this dangerous undertone all throughout. Closely followed by Cynthia 3 here. But pretty much all of these are just FIRE.

[@jadenhoffman9436]

Well technically you did win, you are the alola champion, the real theme is called alola league defense or title defense theme

[@shadowantix8018]

BDSP Cynthia actually stomps Red​@@idonkat6097

[@brando_duurie]

Blue's theme in my opinion is the best. It's perfectly constructed as a theme, musically speaking. It has a twisted start and the second part of the theme starts when pokeballs open, plus it has a tension climax moment followed by a heroic "release" later. Not only it is build a lot on the character, but also on the context. I mean, that impactful start follows the phrase: "I'm the strongest trainer in the world!!"

[@IdentifiantE.S]

You’re right and the remake in lets go was perfect 👌

[@daviemerim8077]

It has a megalomaniac ring to it, which fits Blue perfectly

You should try out Gen 7 then! I've skipped gens 8 and 9 b/c I didn't want to spend the money (and because I was unsure of the game quality), but if you can get past the tutorial Alola is a blast! There are some legitimately difficult fights in it too -- both in the original Sun and Moon but ESPECIALLY in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In terms of story, I prefer the originals; but in terms of gameplay I cannot recommend USUM more (and the story is still really good). Solid new Pokemon, too -- just try it out, it's so worth it imo

I never realized that Leon’s theme has parts of the Wedgehurst theme in it. Great way to tie in the hometown

[@Ragden]

Blue and Leon are game climax battles, the music says that's the most important battle of your career, even if it's more agressive in Blue's case. Lance/Red and Cynthia go about the impending doom you're about to face, either by suffering from Full-Restoreitis or directly with death by stomping in the case of Cynthia. Also Cynthia actually haunts you through Gen5, 7 and 8. Steven's song is quite similar in vibe with those two, it also gives the rush of fighting while the world is crumbling around you. Alder, Iris and Diantha's themes are quite accordingly to their personalities, Alder's theme is like 'enjoy the moment and celebrate life' vibe, Iris is like 'keep your dreams high and strive for them' while Diantha's theme talks about the beauty of the battle for the championship. S&M battle also gives an 'enjoy life' vibe, and the fact that you are currently defending the Champion title. For Gen9, Nemona is like she's actually enjoying the fact that you have reached her true level and she's having the battle of ther life.

[@Omio9999]

Will +1 for Leon with an interesting nod: **You hear the original Hall of Fame leitmotif through Leon's track.** There is absolutely __nothing__ that says "you are writing history" quite like hearing that from what could be called "history" in the series - and a track used to say "You have made your permanent mark on this realm. Congratulations" no less. "What a legendary time it's been" indeed. Gonna highlight Alola 1 as having a similar atmosphere without going too hard into major callbacks, though it's more "You have __written__ history getting here" at that point. Alola 2 feels more like a "Let's see if you can overtake me, it'll be fun to see what you can do" track.

Say whatever you want; but I loooovvvvveeeee Geeta's theme. No other Champion theme emphasises the region as much as Geeta's theme. • Begins with a Pasodoble • You can hear notes very similar to flamenco throughout the theme periodically • That Spanish Guitar about one minute later ... Yep, that's how the representative of Paldea's theme should sound. This composition makes even more sense when you remember what Geeta said ‘Paldea is my ideal world’. Plus did I say that this was Masuda's last composition for game freak? Which is why you can hear so many themes throughout? From Lance's theme to even Giovanni's USUM theme (atleast that's what I felt). This theme is a culmination of Masuda's previous bangers and yet it has its own unique taste ... Definitely one of the better Champion themes throughout the series.

She simply didn't have a reason to become as threatening as the others. The only threat to you was under her nose as like her acting sponsor or whatever. Though IIRC the only person shown in this video with a higher level pokemon than her is Alder, so in lore she doesn't have much to worry about.

[@kholdstare90]

The problem is the type of champion Diantha is. She is so in sync with her pokemon she can tell them what moves to use and how to dodge with just her eyes. While everyone is calling the attacks out so the opponent can get ready to give counter commands, Diantha is there silently having her team methodically work through yours while you have to guess what she will do. Outside the games she is a legit threat due to no verbal commands and high levels. In games we out level and the "no verbal commands" is the default. Plus being the champion is only a very recent thing, 2 months.

So, we are calling people of India "Hindusi", from the Hindi laungage By the way... I've just NOW have realized that English don't call America natives "Indians" like we, and some other nations do... I understand the confusion; I am confused as well. So... I'll try to change it... but I don't know how.

@@Oscarus4250 Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the case that Legends: Arceus didn’t have a champion? I understand Volo operates more as a super fight, but I feel like he’s the closest thing to a champion in that game.

[@Oscarus4250]

@@phntmthf5505 Of course there's none. But even if, I can't call it "Champion Battle", because the odds are heavily rigged in Volo's favor He uses 7 Pokemon in a battle against you (and one of them has to be fought twice!), while you have a maximum of 6 Pokemon - no matter what you do, Volo has the natural advantage which no canon Champion want to exploit. He's not the first one in canon to utilize that strategy - Greevil and Ghetsis do so as well, but you fight their Legendaries (Shadow Lugia and Black/White Kyurem) before the 6vs6 battle, and in Greevil's case, you can completely avoid confrontation with Lugia by using Master Ball and snagging it, and in Ghetsis's case, N heals you (at least I think he does) before the battle. And they are considered villains, not noble warriors like... most canon Champions are. But Volo is even worse - you fight his Legendary; Giratina; AFTER the Full Battle with him, and you AREN'T HEALED! To make matters worse, Giratina' Shadow Force in that game is one of the most broken attacks in all canon Pokemon with main series mechanics... prior to Gen 9, which... let's just not talk about Gen 9 competitive, ok? It's powerful (even more so in Origin Form in exchange for not having 100% Accuracy), and obscures Giratina, *halving the chance to hit it!* If you're unlucky, you may never damage it outside of specific situations. Yes, Normal Pokemon stop Shadow Force, but there aren't many Normal types in that game which are particular impressive, and chances are high that your Normal types could be fainted. Volo's fight in Legends: Arceus might be the most difficult in all canon Pokemon games with standard mechanics, but the main reason being that this fight is unfair in your favor. It's not the hardest Pokemon battle in all games, because games like Radical Red, Insurgence, Reborn or Rejuvenation have lots of even harder battles that are 6vs6, but still - that's an really big achievement for that nutty Arcoos wannabe

[@akirakhan4790]

ALL of them are amazing, but the ones that *STAND OUT* to me the most are: Cynthia, Iris, Geeta, Diantha, Alder, Red's/Lance's, Wallace/Steven and Selene/Elio/Kukui's champion theme. Cynthia, Iris, and Geeta are my *PERSONAL* top three favourite themes though. Fourth place ties Diantha's theme with Red's/Lance's theme. Then fifth place ties Wallace's/Steven's theme with Alder's theme. Blue's theme is VERY good, but it feels very basic sometimes, even if there are some triumphant and very important aspects to the theme itself. I'd say Hau's theme is very good, but it doesn't have this feeling to it that makes me want to relisten to it and engrave it into my mind for a lifetime. It fits his character for sure, but I feel like it's not something I'd listen to as often for intensity sake. It still is VERY good though. Selene/Elio/Kukui's theme is iconic/thematic because of the fact that it's mostly yours/the player's theme song, and I feel like that meaning behind it is very special to me and makes the song more memorable. But I just personally think my other preferred champion themes are stronger. Nemona's champion theme, while fits the narrative of the story SO well and makes you feel really happy you're battling NEMONA!! I love this theme, obviously I do! But, I think I prefer Geeta's theme over hers all day any day. This theme is very lovely and wonderful, but I just... ugh, it's not my fault pokemon always makes certified bangers. :( Oh uh yeah... I guess Leon's theme exists too... lol. Haha, sorry, his theme has some strong and nice aspects to it, that leave you feeling competitive, but it feels so... lifeless. I think it's preference from my side, because I just wasn't as big of a fan of cheering being an instrumental component of the Galar battle soundtrack. If I have some positive things to say about the Galar champion theme is that the introduction and the things that lead up to the chorus are very good, but... the cheering is... not it for me. Yes, it's mostly the fact that the song isn't AS hype, energetic, thematic, intense, or strong as other themes are, but the cheering as an element just... makes me not like this song as much. Sadly. Now let's go to the themes that I adore the most. I also tend to be more analytical and critical of things that I enjoy. Btw my top favourites will be discussed at the end of the comment: 5. Alder's theme is sadly super repetitive, BUT, it still is so GOOD when I listen to it or remember it exists. It's like a happy little gem that's buried deeeeeep within the recesses of my memories, so I feel so alive and happy when I DO remember it lol. Wallace's/Steven's theme (they're almost practically the same for me lol), are very GREAT, like they are energetic, hype, remind me of the region and its heart, fit the theme of the region's soundtrack, etc. But it's in fifth place because of its extra repetitive nature (yes, I am aware pokemon music is MEANT to be repetitive and loop, but sometimes it is VERY obvious when certain songs go on loop and you get superrrr annoyed by it.) BUT, this theme is so, so, POWERFUL though and I love it! It has these feelings to it that make me feel nostalgic too. Idk, that's why I love it still. 4. Red's/Lance's theme fit the very intense, very powerful and (when you battle Red) very intense. When it gets stuck in your head, and you feel like humming it or singing it wherever you go, you just... you feel like you're on Mt. Silver or in the pokemon league. I dunno, this song really helped me get through some parts of my childhood and made me feel a lot safer. So I have a lot of nostalgic reasons why I put this higher on my list. Diantha's theme is SO heavenly, it's like the antithesis, the foil to Cynthia's theme! It's so orchestral and feels like a divine sort of power instead! It makes you just in absolute awe of the melodies and instruments. It honestly is such good daydreaming material, especially when you listen to an orchestral cover/cinematic theme of the song. I dunno, yeah, that's all I gotta say. Very elegant sounding, and adds to the mysteriousness and the feeling of classiness through power that Diantha just holds. Very magical and enchanting too! :D 3. Geeta's fucking THEME, LET'S GOOOOO!! Okay, so... goddammit, how do I say this?? But like?? WHEN I FIRST FUCKING HEARD THIS THING, THIS DAMNED THEME. I JUST, OMFG. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE, REAL, VIBRANT, AND JUST DAMN. Geeta's theme is like... S-tier, but like there are other S-tiers out there too. IT has so much meaning to it, knowing that the person who composed the song is like no longer going to be working in pokemon. This being that composer's last song makes this even more special. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like I have a reason for hope, a feeling like there is a bright future for me. I feel good about myself, and I just... damn. This song also fits Geeta's idealistic mindset and how she likes to maintain that. It's such a good song though... JUST WISH IT WAS FUCKING LOUDER AND DIDN'T HAVE THAT SHITTY GLITCH. (Yes, this champion theme song is the song I hum and sing the most as of right now (January, 18, 2023), but damn is it GOOD.) 2. Iris' theme, a whimsical one that leaves you on the edge of your seat as you battle her. It's magical, enticing, powerful, raw, and energetic. It's got this feeling to it that makes your brain go,, ajflnadlfjnadfjal. See? I can't even articulate myself because that's how good this theme is! Words cannot describe how lovely this song is. It fits her character and shows the duality of dragon types and it's just... full of life? I have a lot of nostalgia for this battle theme too though, so I can honestly only say that... that is contributing to me putting at number 2. But it's objectively a phenomenal theme and I hope to see more Iris champion theme enthusiasts. 1. Yeah... I think we all saw this one coming... despite its repetitive nature, despite how grating it can be when it repeats so damn much. This fucking theme... THIS FUCKING THEME. Cynthia. Champion Cynthia. You have given me nostalgia, YOU were the first damned champion I ever fought in my life. Your theme is so chilling, intense, powerful, strong, nostalgic, and makes me feel so proud. This character's personality shines through the song, it fits her aesthetic and aura too. It is a showmanship of just how versatile, skilled, intelligent, and competent the Sinnoh Champ is at battling. I can't help but feel bad if I put Iris' theme above this one, because this one holds a special place in my heart. It just is special and it is the definition of what I think is truly a competent champion's theme should sound like. It fits the bill of what competent champions should have blaring as they fuck you over and whoop your ass in battle. This song, I love it. I ADORE it. I will find myself humming this song whenever the mood suits me. It makes me feel like I am really amazing and happy. I feel closely connected to Cynthia's character. Idk, I just... the synths go wild in this one. The drums are AMAZING. I just... I can't get enough of it? It's fitting for the first woman champion in pokemon to be introduced. I love it. I think the fact that nostalgia for Sinnoh exists, I just.. it really has a powerful influence on me. Cynth's theme is the number 1, S-tier theme for Champion music. I stand by this.

[@cameronsmith9562]

Blue feels like he isn't going to give you a chance to breathe. Lance feels like "The Pokémon League" as a theme. Hoenn Champion feels pretty slow and methodical. Cynthia's theme feels like a mad scramble against overwhelming odds. Unova (Alder) - is chilling just coasting out the battle. Unova (Iris) - Having fun the entire match. Diantha - Kind of dancing but sudden bursts of intensity. Alola - Feels like a fanfare instead of battle, like a celebration. Fitting for a newly-founded league. Alola 2 - Starts out with a celebration and then goes into having fun. Galar - A big sporting event, but doesn't hit like a battle theme. Paldea - Starts slow and settles into a moderate tempo the flamenco guitars are a nice touch. Paldea 2- Sounds like we're having fun, probably the most fun of the Champion themes.
