@@Gboy86ify @Bi$harp all im saying is that your comment looks like your replying to someone when literally no one in the comments section said anything about dynamaxing before the gym leader and not playing on the switch bc your comment looks like your arguing to someone about dynamaxing before the gym leader does. It also looks like you're upset that if someone did just that ,telling them about sportmanship. It also makes it look like an insult when you said "I bet you play on the switch as well", implying that sword and shield were on other consoles other than the switch and making it look like your insulting people who play sword And shield on the switch.

This was my son's very first Pokémon game. He's 7. We did our own playthroughs at the same time so we could talk about it as we progressed. He got stuck on Nessa's gym. It was honestly awesome to see him go through the struggle. Adjusting his team comp and running back into the wild to train up his Pokémon. He doted on his Pokémon and got really into making high quality curry for them before going to rechallenge the gym. I still remember hearing him shriek from across the house. "MOM! MOOOOOM!" He had done it and he was ecstatic. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were sparkling and suddenly I was nine again holding my GameBoy Color having just accomplished the same. I played this song while making lunch today. We both jammed hard. I loved this game top to bottom and want to thank Game Freak. You made your own legend real. There are two generations of Pokémon trainers in my house. You allowed me to experience the magic all over again through my son and that's priceless.

[@TGPDrunknHick]

honestly other than gen 1 and 2 which I had legit difficulty even years later, the games themselves have never been hard. the main story is designed to be completed by young children after all so it's not like they were going to dark souls it. that said it depends on if you looked up gyms before hand. I never lost to the gyms but, had seriously close calls with Raihan and Gordie but, found Opal and Piers a breeze. just depends on team comp really. play blind and it's still somewhat challenging if you don't overgrind.

[@GuukanKitsune]

I actually love the fact that the music changes based on what's actually going on in the battle. Throughout the battle theme, when you're just slapping back and forth, there's just this playful 'it's a contest' theme, that radiates the pumping energy a person would feel from challenging a master they know they have a shot at beating. But if the battle takes a downturn and you're in trouble, the music becomes more sinister and oppressive beat and the playful melody becomes more somber and focused because, for you, it's now do or die time. And when the battle takes an upturn and you're beating an opponent, the crowd starts chanting because they are STOKED some random nobody is possibly about to beat the champion and it takes on a much more triumphant tone. The best part is how seamless the changes are, too. The best experience I had with this music was when I was taking on Bea and her pokemon were DESTROYING me due to lucky crits. My team managed to fight hers down, I was on my last, and she was on her last two. The way the music changed from that frantic pounding heart of imminent defeat to the triumphant crowd chanting (signaled by the crowd cheering no less when I knocked her pokemon out!) as the battle became even again was... I hadn't felt like that playing a POkemon game in a LOOOONG time. Not since playing Yellow for Game Boy Color when I was a little kid.

[@Evnyofdeath]

Hate to ruin it for you, but the cheering wasn't for your comeback. It was because she was sending out her Ace

[@yoshidaaimi34]

It is still a hype factor though, could you imagine the crowd thinking "HOLY FUCK THE ACE IS HERE THIS IS ABOUT TO GOOOO DOWNNNNNN" and it's just more exciting to you because you went from being beaten to just beating. Because now you're Bea-ting her.

[@chemicalfuzzy]

It did the same thing BW did, but they fixed it. I love Gen 5’s low health theme but god damn is it annoying when i’m enjoying the music and then suddenly my pokémon nearly dies. Then I switch/heal it, and it changes back again. The lack of transition is just... painful. The theme mostly stays the same here, but it still gives you the feeling of ‘oh fuck im not winning anymore oh no this is really bad’ with a good transition. I heard it during my fight with Melony! That’s my punishment for using mostly dragon types... especially a Flygon, lmao

so i’m over 50 hours into this game and i’m on the last gym, and something I forgot is just how exhilarating when i realized how much of a big deal it is to challenge a gym in this game. you have to be given a letter of recommendation. tons of people attend gym leader battles. there’s full on crowds in a *stadium*. i played the older games before these ones, and you just challenge a leader anytime, no big deal. but just how much of an event these battles are… it’s just so cool how it’s executed it really makes you feel like you’re going into an actual challenge

Plus, I love how they make your character actually recognized theoughout the region, because in the Pokemon world apparantly it's really hard to even get 3 Badges (Hinted at by the people's reaction in Pokemon Orgins when Red showed them 3 badges) and Its not every new character being like "Oh who are you?"

[@DerVasto]

They really did a number with the new gyms. Or should I say, the REAL gyms, as they are always depicted as these huge buildings with more or less seats for a crowd. Though it was for the League most of the time in the show, here it fit perfectly and I hope they stay at this style, even for future remakes. It´s easy to make past gyms larger, doesn´t have to be a soccer-stadium.

[@bottleofair378]

He becomes wild and excited. If anything, his wild movements mock a dragon. Love this dude. EDIT: *I discovered something neat about this theme.* 1. Have this play in the Battle Tower.

I had never owned a Nintendo of any sort. As a child, my parents simply couldn't afford to buy one for me. I stuck with the anime and the cards for most of my childhood. Now, as an adult, I bought a Switch and experienced a Pokemon game for the first time through Let's Go Pikachu. I loved it to say the least. Then, through discounts and gift cards, I saved to buy Pokemon Sword four months after. And since it's my first experiencing any sort of Pokemon game, I was completely blown away. I loved it so much. From the Pokemons themselves to the music, I can't empathize enough how much I am enjoying myself. I know they're repeated games, but as a person that never played any of the others before, it was thrilling. Now, I can only hope that they remake the other ones through the Let's Go series. That way I can catch up with the other regions in some way or another.

For 20 years my favorite gym leader theme has been the Kanto Gym Leader theme from Gen 2 (and the various remixes in later games). It has finally been dethroned by the new Gym Leader theme because this one is just so epic.

[@KahunaLagoona]

I dunno, for as much flack as I give Kalos, their Gym theme wasn't bad.

[@Darkstar263]

My favourites have been Kanto (Gen 1) and Hoenn.

[@jordanvereen1398]

Hoenn is bai

[@Zytomega]

Same. Though Kanto Gym Leader Johto Version is still legendary.

[@WH40KHero]

Hoenn all the way. This new theme sounds like something youd hear at a cheap club

[@coldborelives]

I haven’t played Pokémon since emerald but picked up sword. Ngl I loved it. This song made it feel like the crowd was cheering you on. It gave it so much energy. The OST for this was on point.

[@Ddoublechin]

As much as I love the old gym leader themes, this one just blows everything else out of the water

[@lucca5367]

I dunno it sounds like a weaker version of X/Y's.

[@TechnoArpan]

Especially the dynamic music

[@soundsgoodtome16]

I know! And the parts where it becomes muffled just adds to the intensity 🔥

[@Tai-Kun]

the 472 people who disliked are the people who live near the gym

I thought u would say pokemon that didn't made it to sw sh lol

[@Tiran_the_Typical]

People who live near the gym: everyday... THAT SAME DANG SONG

[@fuma5354]

The people who live near the gym:"who starts a Pokemon fight at 3 am!". The trainer:"OH BOY 3AM"! Dynamaxs cricketune

[@Dubstequtie]

LOL best comment xD

[@hikaru2047]

Not near but in it Punishment : dynamax scream in your ear

[@Vailskibum]

I wish they put as much effort into the game as this theme

[@nuggetREAL]

Damn son

[@Astro986]

Damn son

[@connerwills6802]

That’s a bit harsh

[@cannedburritto6065]

The game is alright. Not the best, but it's alright.

[@LegendaryHedgieMii]

Bruh.

[@superbide]

Most hype gym trainer battle music of any generation, ever.

[@real_Furryratchet]

2:37 is my favourite. We haven't something like that since B/W back in Gen 5

[@tmma1869]

If I remember correctly, the Gen V version was a lot scarier 😓

[@koko-tw2uq]

@@tmma1869 but this one is tense

[@RoostBR]

I know remakes aren’t as cool as new games, but a gen 5 remake is my dream. I’d love to go to all those places again, but not pixels. First or second one, doesn’t matter.

[@RedBroski]

Never heard that in the game since I was always 10-20lvls higher than gym leaders. but it sounds dope. like all the sound fades around you like youre in a tunnel, which is how everything really does sound when youre in a stressful situation

[@Luigion7]

When you transition from a laugh to a cough:

[@hoottoad6492]

0:14 when I heard this play you best believe I went absolute ham on that beat

[@thewatermaster6642]

Correction: Meat

[@fab4613]

Bruh, thats my favorite part in the entire them, very underapreciated

[@lon242]

3:13 I like the quick transition getting out of the fainted theme. Get it together, time to get back in the fight.

[@rileyslostmind5441]

There really is an unwritten rule of only dynamaxing your Pokémon when the leader does. Make the battle so hyped up
