As a video editor myself, I wouldn't be surprised if whoever was in charge of the trailer had to google some music to use and no one noticed it was fan-made. This happens when there's a lousy workflow, schedules are tight (highly likely considering the whole Presents was very poorly edited), and there's little documentation / organization of official assets to use from a client (probably The Pokémon Company in this case). It has happened directly within Nintendo as well, like that time they used a DeviantArt image in Smash Ultimate.

[@Savescreen]

You have to be a special kind of dumb still to not see that the music you took was a cover, it says "Cinematic Arrangement" in the title, and the actual music is top search result on KZbin/Google (and if outsourced, then TCP should have given them assets to work with)

[@Cometstarlight]

It’s definitely not the first time fan works has accidentally been incorporated into official media. Something similar happened with FNAF (Help Wanted iirc) in which one of the images of a character’s profile looked so official, the person putting it together thought it was. Once they realized what happened, they fixed it. Still wrong, but at least they acknowledged the mistake and fixed it. And now Pokémon have released the trailer again with the official song. Not sure if the creator here was contacted in the end, though.

Rewatched that part like 20 times lmao. But the second I watched that reposted trailer and the music was different I just stopped and thought holy shit. It actually was, I *did* recognise that remix. Went searching for all the best remixes I’d heard of the theme- it’s THIS remix. they straight up took this and used it in the trailer. I’m assuming they did not get permission based on the fact it was taken down?? Can’t imagine the conflict the creator must feel haha, like it was liked by the Pokémon company to the point they used it in a trailer, but they essentially stole it. Would love to hear the creator’s thoughts about this. Does anyone know if there’s any information about what’s going on?

Absolutely beautiful (though I would’ve liked the see the choir at the beginning be used more), as many other commenters have said, it really does capture the aura of Area Zero perfectly. A pristine yet eerie dreamscape that shouldn’t be, where the past and future coexist in the present. I would like to add that it really emphasizes on the implications that the “time machine” isn’t actually a time machine at all, there are far too many egregious contradictions and logical inconsistencies (hence the categorization of paradox Pokémon lol, they’re not supposed to make sense), but rather an imaginary Pokémon printer of sorts, manifested into reality from the imagination of explorers who ventured into Area Zero. The paradox Pokémon aren’t paradoxes because they supposedly came from another time period, they’re paradoxes because *they shouldn’t even be existing in the first place*

This is pretty much the perfect music for Area Zero. The original music is a bit too…techno, almost, for a place as mysterious and untouched by technology as Area Zero. This version has just the right amount to convey the fact that it’s a natural place, but it’s being used for highly unnatural purposes.

TPC credit artists challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[@EikeKusch776]

It's possible. They can follow up.

[@AI-DreigonGPT]

It's TPC who stole it

[@Evdafawth]

TPC did the same thing with a Japanese remixer's Ultra Necrozma theme in the 1008 Pokémon video. [text to beat YT spam detection, don't mind this]

I am blown away

[@flarenocturne4636]

Coming here after finding out your cover was stolen by Nintendo... Here to support the original!!! Sounds amazing, and you should be proud of it!!

This is just absolute perfection. I already fell in love with the Area Zero theme when I completed the post-game, but the instrumentation just made this theme next level.

[@RedStriker212]

To put into words my feelings regarding Area Zero-- feelings listening to this has only cemented, I think strongly of a quote from Werner Herzog: " Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.

toby fox + gamefreak= perfection

[@CJ-km4wh]

Wasn’t this the theme they had to take out of the new dlc trailer because they didn’t credit them? or was that someone else??

[@hisprincessprincess4916]

Yes that was the one they used, its such a beautiful version of the theme They could have just credited

[@X-3181]

Toby Fox put the song

You know you're good when pokemon are lucky to have your music instead of you being lucky to make music for them

神アレンジ。1時間耐久もほしい

[@OtherL]

I can hear Professor Oaks opening to this: Welcome to the world of Pokemon. These are creatures that inhabit our world. Some are used as pets others for pokemon battles but all are our friends. Hi, I'm the professor and your pokemon journey is about to begin today!

[@Kyepha]

Absolutely mind blowing I love this arrangement so much

[@rogue685]

This is the best fan arrangement of Area Zero I've seen on KZbin hands down!

[@TheMostRandomAussieEver]

how the hell did toby land a position for a composer in a game of this level? absolute legend

[@dittomorph]

I can think of a couple of reasons

[@supernintendosp]

I adore this rendition of Area Zero. I've had it on loop for quite a while now. It's calming, eerie, sad and exciting all at once. Well done.

[@ratking1330]

Added great ambiance to the direct, thanks, even if nintendo didnt give it to you.

[@pokemonorchestra]

Welcome back! I'm very glad to see you again!! And brillant work as usual. Very impressive.

[@QuobaltTown]

As someone who has been listening to this arrangement for months, this is easily my favorite version of ANY Pokémon song! I love how despite the mysterious and otherworldly feeling, it still manages to be absolutely beautiful, especially with the ehru. You really knocked it out of the park!

[@IllTakeAMcRazor]

Not even 30 second in and I legit fell off my seat Omfg that’s amazing Edit: fell off again
