Area Zero (Toby Fox) - Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Remix [NoteBlock x SkigGamez]

[@geesxing]

This feels like if the original song was a Scarlet version, this would be a Violet version.

[@Flowey01924]

true

[@minish3710]

Too happy for an actual replacement, but kinda agree.

[@RAlanMead]

I can hear it

[@melodymanic1007]

exactly what I had in mind

[@Comma-7]

This is so accurate

[@dakotafurret4134]

Area 0 has to be one of the best areas in Pokémon history, and this remix makes it even better!

[@Doopyhpp]

It is my favorite area pokemon has ever made

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Agreed.

[@Vieislost]

Agreed

[@sillyputtyisfun7567]

The fact that so many researchers died there because they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of ancient primal and visceral pokemon still gives me chills. The final kick in the heart being what you learn at the end of the Area Zero gauntlet. It gave me Lusamine telling Lily that she hated her vibes.....Just absolute trauma inducing if you look too deep into the lore of it all. Pokemon has been becoming so good at story telling in their stories over the years and it's starting to show through in how adult they're willing to be.

[@numbskull_justashinyfuecoco]

My man put Waterfall,CORE and VS Susie in a Pokémon song and made it sound well

[@TheAdvertisement]

2:37 Mans really pulled some more Toby Fox in, Another Medium worked so smoothly.

[@punkipatchmusic]

2:37 The noteblock classic, putting a new melody from a seperate track where it has no right to fit so well. Nice.

[@numbskull_justashinyfuecoco]

Theres another part that has VS.Susie in it

TOBY FOX MUSIC SO GOOD

[@sillyman2]

Really cool how Toby Fox essentially used the Hotland Theme from Undertale as a foundation for this theme.

[@oklandon09]

How did I never pick up on this

[@numbskull_justashinyfuecoco]

It also sounds sometimes like "CORE" in a part of the song.

[@thepurplemudkip9998]

honestly this theme reminds me a lot of corridors of time from chrono trigger, i wouldn’t be surprised if hot land also took inspiration from that song 😊

[@funkymonkey7252]

yeah i was just thinking the start kinda sounds like another medium

[@smonkk8556]

because it has an arpeggio? is that your thesis here? these two songs have arpeggios in them and some drawn out melodies (crazy how music written by the same person occasionally has stylistic similarities) so one is using the other as a foundation? do you understand how ridiculous that sounds when you lay it out? people talk about toby fox's music in this bizarre way where they correctly recognise stylistic similarities (instrument choices like his frequent usage of ultimate guitar kit 2.sf2, melodic trends, structural choices like often basing songs around an arpeggio and then building up harmony on top) but rather than try to reason those choices, they just play this bizarre game where they pretend he's locked himself into referencing himself over and over, because once when talking about the process of writing his >100 song OST he mentioned that he finds it easier to reuse elements when possible. i can 100% promise you in the exact same way sada and turo's battle theme isn't based on oppa toby style, noelle from deltarune's theme isn't based off of darling kanaya and the battle tower theme from sword and shield isn't based off of the baby is you, this song is not using hotland as a base. the stylistic similarities are because the songs are made by the same guy, and artists tend to develop a personal style over time. i also promise you that writing an arpeggio is not hard enough that his quote about reusing musical elements would apply here. it's just a way of reinforcing chords monophonically.

[@cheerstothat8089]

I'm so glad I didn't spoil myself with the internet before reaching this area and especially the final boss. I was playing violet and had no idea paradox pokemon existed, so the first encounter with iron bundle was straight-up unsettling. Between the wacky topography, the unnatural pokemon, and especially the music, area zero was incredibly well done.

[@theburningfalcon974]

Penship for area zero to become a stage in the next smash brothers, and for its theme to be remixed for the game. This song and area are amazing. Itll be a wasted opportunity if they dont do it

[@star-aether]

AN AREA ZERO BATTLE THEME REMIX WOULD BE AMAZING

[@Nooooo469]

OMG YES PLEASE

[@eljahkauffmann6442]

And if they add a paradox mon as a fighter

Everyone saying this song is a good way to end their year, and then theres me listening to it as the first song i hear in 2023 🎉

[@chaosstripe9446]

I love the inclusion of Another Medium in this, around 1:20 - 1:30

[@Limestoneowl]

I love how pokemon Area Zero adds so much mystery and kind of lonely-ness (in a good way) Probably one of my favorite pokemon songs so far and this remix makes it even better

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

I love Area Zero so much and this remix 110% does it justice! And not only did it completely do the original justice, but it's also more than deserving of being your last song of the year! Edit: Oh my god the Waterfall motif works perfectly with this song

[@typhoonboom]

Area zero is such an amazing place, one of my favorite in the entire main series

[@BeholderBrawlStars]

Chibi Koraidon and Miraidon! AHHHHH I JUST WANNA HUG EM AND NEVER STOP HUGGING!

[@grianjuju9438]

I recently finished the game and i'm glad I played it, also good area zero them sounds amazing, you made this sound so freaking funky, makes my head bop left and right!

[@rfsmaster]

The subtle feeling of “what the hell is happening?” from Area Zero is translated BEAUTIFULLY here! The mysterious vibes are awesome!

[@justinjyeung]

Love this remix! If there were some kind of Area Zero Recon Squad, this would be their battle theme XD

[@tedscheett9420]

This theme beats any previous ambient theme that I have ever liked. It helps that Area Zero is such a cool looking area. I hope if DLC is released they do something more with Area Zero.

[@oklandon09]

Can’t wait for a remix of the treasures of ruin battle theme. Banger as usual btw

[@RapidProbably]

I like that 1.25 speed it sounds like the battle theme of area zero and the use of another medium. Over all very good remix to end the year on!

[@novaduck_iv]

The vocals part of this song really feels like something from mushoku tensei. I love it

[@metadragon6443]

Bro the Area Zero theme was my favorite overworld theme and this makes it soooo much cooler! I honestly loved playing through the great crater, and this captures the essence of it perfectly, I love it!

[@gasterthemaster6490]

What a way to end off this year. Truly beautiful.

[@anissahustins]

Such a good remix, Skig did a fantastic job with the vocals!

[@LunaP1]

This is quite a banger of a remix.

[@mr.gamewatch6165]

An alternate reality where past and future Pokemon can co-exist with current Pokemon. Imagine such a reality. It would be bad to destroy this dream cherished by the ones who want to make it a reality.

[@thegoat2018]

The only problem i had with area 0 was the music, i felt stressed by it somehow. This remix fixes that problem by a lot. It feels happier and more relaxed, yet still serious like the situation in the game is. 10/10

[@MackMightMakeMusic]

I felt stressed by it too, but I think that’s what made it so good.

[@tehjefey]

If it stresses you out. That's the entire point. It's supposed to inspire dread. Cause you're about to get fucked royally by shit you don't even know is down there.

[@angrymonsterham]

Love the art!

Same dude I wonder who made it 🤔

[@X-3181]

The first moment I heard this song I said to myself: wow this would be perfect in chrono trigger or a mystery dungeon

[@sharalightfelt91]

3:22 Love the Susie fight motif in this bit :33

[@thejuggercat]

The slow beggining with the choir gives me a Very... Interesting vibe. However,i know FOR A FACT you dont even know what i am thinking of,plus only the intro gives me the vibe,so It dosent matter as much as the fact that this goes hard.

[@grass9768]

I like how Koraidon and Miraidon look like tableturf battle cards

[@wispyfox6854]

i know your remixes are an absolute bop but i honestly didn't know if you could top the OG this time......somehow you did and i love it!

[@AzureStriker-om2jl]

Love the art and the remix! Area Zero has to be one of my favorite final areas in all of Pokemon. Amazing remix, one of the best ways to end this year.

[@Salmonboyo]

Listen, I know that penny's theme is good. But in my opinion, this song is my favorite from the entire game and the remix does it justice. Well done!

This music is really amazing, and the remix is greater too.

[@angrypvz1236]

Truly the best of this game is the ending. Area Zero itself is such a mysterious place with phenomenal music that really sets the tone of exploring a forbidden area. The Pokémon there add to that sense of mystery, and most importantly (spoilers) The story that ends the campaign with the Time Machine is amazing and the character dialogue and banter in this section is something the main game could have benefited from

[@TheSandwhichman108]

When I first entered area zero the music and environment really gave me a feeling of awe and dread like ‘Oh shit…I’m really not supposed to be here…’ it’s been a long time since I ever had a genuine feeling like that in a game before.
