Area Zero Theme Synthwave Remix - Pokemon Scarlet/Violet [100th Remix!]

My first foray into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's music also happens to be my 100th remix on KZbin! Thank you for all the support throughout the years with my own music and with the Megamix project. So grateful for all the folks who have listened to my remixes.
Today, I'm coming at you with a synthwave interpretation of the Area Zero theme from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Area Zero has to be the best area theme since the Distortion World. The composition, drama, and drop of the song are just so good. It's hard to improve upon perfection, so instead I decided to do a genre change! Synthwave seemed to be a natural fit for Area Zero. This remix sounds reminiscent of sci-fi from the 1980s, and fits the time travel plot twist in the game that Area Zero is involved in. I really loved composing this remix and hope you enjoy it too! Tell me your favorite Paradox Pokemon in the comments :)
100 remixes down, 1000s more to go. Thanks for listening everyone!

I think that Synthwave is the perfect genre to remix this song. It’s a genre of the past (80’s and such), while being born with the idea of the future in mind, therefore perfectly linking both Scarlet and Violet core concepts.

[@LaggerKnight]

Yes, it even fits as a counterpart to the original, as to me, it has that air of potentially being from a genre of the future with the idea of the ancient past in mind

[@HaxHaunter]

this HAS to be an official version if we ever go to the distant future in Violet.

[@MrElbown]

"Area Zero has to be the best area theme since the Distortion World. The composition, drama, and drop of the song are just so good" Totally agree!

[@SakhotGamer]

I was searching for a synthwave remix of the gen 4 battle theme but I just stumbled upon a completely different jewel.

[@edz5765]

Amazing! A definite cat bobbing head moment.

[@yuorion3056]

1:26 GOES CRAZY AS SHIT WTF

[@AndrewThoesen]

The vibes are immaculate.

[@Chelarino]

damn shoutouts to my youtube recommends this is probably one of the best covers/remixes i've heard of this song, it's really unique but also really close to the original vibes somehow, probably because the genre represents the core concepts of the two games' area zeroes so well? most others i've seen just try to replicate the original and fail to capture the intended vibes in the process imo

[@AlmightyArceus]

Glad you appreciate the vibe change! There’s this weird obsession with just recreating rather than actually remixing/reimagining the concept of the song which is what I love to do! Glad you appreciated this one and thanks for listening :D

The thumbnail on this video is my wallpaper on my phone for real lol

[@JXC1520]

I love the Area Zero music and this just made me love it even more!

[@Equalyze]

AlmightyArceus, this sounds fantastic! Although I haven't heard the theme yet, in game, listening to your remix of it really gives me a sense of what kind of area it is. It feels powerful, foreboding, and a bit otherworldly! The instrumentation here is stellar, and I really like these dense and vibrant synths you're using here. There are some milder, more haunting ones, too, like in that ending segment, and they all have this cool portamento effect, as well as some tricky note bends and strong vibrato - all things I really enjoy! That bass is deep and warm, as well, and it has great motion in terms of rhythm and drive. The video presentation here looks great, as well! I never tire of seeing these synthwave-styled backgrounds and animations, and Koraidon fits the theme perfectly! Also, a huge congratulations on releasing your 100th remix! It's so heartwarming to see people in your community celebrating this milestone alongside you. 😊 Here's to 100 more works of passion and creativity! 💛

THIS IS SOOO GOOD!!! I can literally imaging the player walking through a cyberpunk style city. If we get a future area zero this has got to be the theme

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Oh my gosh 100 remixes?!? Congrats!!!! This is truly something else; i _love_ the synthwave vibe you added to the Area Zero theme🔥

[@dylanrauer9083]

i just heard this and now im listening to it 24/7

[@thesupreme2]

Best Pokémon song since drift veil city

[@wandaegger1108]

[@LumiOfFrost]

This song is now burned into my brain from the custom 3ds theme

[@Raushna]

This is a great remix! Love the 80s vibes!!

[@dsmonsta]

Nice remix!

[@GameMusic4All]

Finished the game a few days ago. this theme really set the atmosphere first time I entered area zero. dope remix!

[@DuskLegend]

Not bad, not bad

[@AcidYTJH]

Why does this sound like a song you would hear at the end of a movie

[@sylvoid8734]

I love this theme in game 🥰 Cant wait to hear your remix of it. Also congrats on the 100th remix 🥳🥳🥳

[@anthonyfrazier7670]

[@FatalPurpose]

Very nice! Is this going on Spotify soon?

[@AlmightyArceus]

I’ll drop it as a single at the start of the year :)

[@Ninja1Ninja2]

congrats youve been going since b/w gen v days

[@miraidongaming]

This is epic! Am I allowed to use these?

[@HaxHaunter]

hey AlmightyArceus, if it isnt too much to ask, can you upload a faster version of this exact theme? it sounds like a battle theme version. sound surprisingly good at 1.5x speed.

[@AlmightyArceus]

Don’t worry, I have a separate battle version coming soon as a collaboration ;) stay tuned!

[@HaxHaunter]

@@AlmightyArceus awesome! thanks for replying!

[@HaxHaunter]

@@AlmightyArceus Hope you're doing alright. It's been a while.

[@nicholasstewart1396]

My fav part is from 0:35 - 0:45, I don't think the chip tune synth fits as a good lead tbh, if you decide to make another version maybe you could experiment with a different synth for the lead melody and "solo" but still good job on this.

[@AlmightyArceus]

I’ve already got a few in the works so if this synthwave one isn’t your speed you’ll see a past and future paradox version coming soon ;)

[@madnessarcade7447]

Sucks that I’m the only one who noticed the Rick and morty reference in the song

[@AlmightyArceus]

including me lol. where did I happen to reference it?
