Here's a chiptune arrangement of Colress's battle theme from Pokémon BW2.
I started this arrangement over 10 years ago lol. I uploaded an almost-finished version to twitter for pokemon day, but couldn't find the time to work on the pixel art and youtube video until now. oops

Ayyyy a remix of one of the best pokemon battle themes. I stopped everything and came here the second i saw the notification.

[@ribb0nzz]

I GASPED WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY HOMEPAGE LETS GOOOOOOO

[@IsabelleChiming]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!! The sample use is amazing, the sound design is spot on, every last detail is there and sounds amazing. This was a total surprise for me!!

[@Superbuchi]

Oh wow I was just thinking this reminded me of your style

[@beta9640]

Coming back with a colress cover like that is amazing

[@banjofries]

I can tell you're getting better at using musical fundamentals as a whole You're on the road to some seriously incredible stuff bran

[@AMiiInTime0016]

HONEY WAKE UP BRAN UPLOADED A NEW CHIPTUNE dude i've been waiting for new music from you this sounds so goooooood

[@Majo_Ellen]

I kid you not, me and my friends were talking about Colress JUST YESTERDAY. The timing is impeccable.... You bet imma share this with them for the reaction, bless you Bran flakes.

[@branflakes325]

fellow colress appreciators 🤝

[@j.r6621]

The pixel art Colress is beautiful!

[@snackerfork]

Feels insane that this is possible on the NES at all, even with additional chips. You can definitely feel the ten years of work this took, absolutely incredible!

[@jevilthechaostailor]

This took ten years to make?

[@Svat2733]

@@jevilthechaostailor Yup! Mentioned in the description,insane to think about

[@supersonic4863]

I love how you still kept the voice with the numbers, that mustve been hard to work out.

[@abcdef-ms9mb]

Chiptune fits this theme incredibly well. Great work!

[@RKIOrbMage]

The new visualiser provides interesting mouse dodging capabilities, very cool :D Love the arrangement!

[@SSB_Seal]

YES BRAN! Colress' battle theme is by far one of my favorites in the entire franchise and of course you did a perfect job arranging it. Thank you for blessing my ears today!

[@SRMom]

Yay, a new upload, and a new visualizer?! You spoil us.🧡

[@colm1983]

I love this song and his encounter theme to (8) bits! Thank you for making this I love it so much!!!

[@Bageltin]

ah finally, it seems like ages since i've added a colress remix to the playlist. epic work!

[@XAEzl]

This is what my playlist needed

[@ethoatom668]

I am very happy. Colress is my favorite character in the whole series, so I'm thrilled to have you finally return with such a banger. Welcome back, Bran.

[@n00byscrazycorner43]

Holy shit, Bran's back with an absolute BANGER!!!!!!!

[@twerg45]

this is absolute fucking fire oh my GOD!!!!!! I love colress and his theme but this takes it to the next level!!!!

[@lukestenger2817]

So great to see another arrangement from you Bran! I love the new visuals.

[@incredicassio]

Love the updated visuals for this!

[@gwynhwyfar1321]

What an absolute banger arrangement! You always pick the best themes and turn them into something even better. You really never disappoint!

[@Mar_Marine]

My best friend just started playing the sequels like a week ago, and I've been playing alongside her. I can't wait for her to hear this total banger of a theme.

[@ManIkWeet]

Ooooh pretty new visuals! And the arrangement is epic too!

[@itsbageltime]

Man glad to see you back this rocks!

[@Bricey1701]

My word, saying this is SPECTACULAR would be an understatement!!

[@that-guy-pearce]

Welcome back Bran, love this new visualizer!

[@technorave555]

I was literally listening to this song yesterday, what a massive coincidence. Welcome back!

[@muttnick]

awesome mix as always man. 🎉

[@Shaymaru]

Man, I love your arrangements of music so much, but this one takes the cake for the one I was most excited to see be made!!! It's a match made in heaven. Keep up the amazing work, Bran. ♥

[@NateTDOM]

Dude i just started listening to your covers again a few days ago and then you go and upload again for the first time in 8 months! This sounds amazing as always.

[@noelardiens]

I've been listening to Colress' Battle Theme for the past two weeks. Only now did I get this recommended, and got curious enough after having heard other similar 8-Bit Arrangements. You're on a whole other level. This is so faithful I can barely hear a difference between this and the original.

[@CookieFonster]

Just when I thought your chiptune music couldn't get any more mind-blowing, you went ahead and proved me wrong. Amazing work. :)

[@kuraihiroma]

THE GASP THAT ESCAPED ME WHEN I SAW THIS. Thank you for your amazing work as usual. I've been subbed for close to like 5 years now and it's always wonderful seeing what you'll release next!

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

I love Colress so much in the mainline games and his theme is a straight bop! Glad you made this. Your super talented!

[@sahazra]

Ooh, I love the display at the top. Fascinating to see how much can be done with just the 2a03 channels, and how much the more advanced chips add.

[@pengwolfm]

ah!!! what a wonderful surprise!! My favorite pokemon battle theme/morally gray villain theme and an absolutely stunning and methodically produced cover!! Fantastic work as always! that chord transition was heavenly 🥰

[@tristenpope8471]

Yooo! Good to see you posting again, bran. Thanks for another banger c:

[@aelfgar_]

WELCOME BACK KING SO GLAD TO HAVE YOUR MUSIC BLESS MY EARS

[@WishMakers]

This cover is damn near perfect, you did Colress' theme so much justice. The intro was *so* good I couldn't even tell it wasn't the original, and the sample work is mixed super well

[@shikisai22]

totally amazing! he'd be obsessed XD the power of technology... this is wonderful, thank you for sharing your talent with the world ^o^

[@KieranMaher-ji7pk]

Welcome back bran love your videos 👍

[@lumena-tan]

the GOAT returns with a GOATed track. Simply perfect

[@DeltaOfNothing]

Heyyyy, look who’s back! Good stuff as always, Bran!

[@Ginger_bit]

Brilliant touch showing waveforms on the top of the screen. Really helped me understand some of what you were doing instrumentation-wise.

[@Ginger_bit]

Definitely gonna have to start experimenting with chiptune now.

[@maddoxcowz529]

duuude the bass so fuckkin good

[@JakeTheJay]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@TheSandwichesOfEpic]

jesus christ almighty youre so cracked this is incredible

[@MB-qx9vn]

This is one of those songs that actually sound better in this format. Fantastic job! Very impressive.

[@Pulvite]

BRAN IS BACK WITH A BANGER!!! I'm glad you were able to incorporate the various samples from the original battle theme and the slap bass sample here. Excellent work as always

[@MediaMunkee]

Huh, I was _just_ going back through these like a week ago. This is one hell of a number to suddenly reappear with!

[@WingedSupernova]

Bran the goat returns yet again with another masterpiece 👌

[@pomtt]

bran has returned! Amazing as always!

[@XanderSivad]

Welcome back!

[@WillowEpp]

Thanks for the jams, this is hot!

[@kitsunelunari]

Keep coming back to this one even a month later, it's a great one

[@synstubbs]

As always, top tier stuff.

[@HMister]

One of the best battle theme from the pokemon series. The arrangement and instruments are so good.

[@Pixelplayer17]

WOW! This is exceptionally well done, even the square wave's pitch bending is spot on. I think it was a brilliant move to use the DMC channel (if I'm seeing that right) for the synth guitar and countdown samples, they're an iconic part of the battle theme and it'd feel empty without them. Once again, phenomenal work!

[@Nogahs]

The king returns. Honestly, some of your BW2 remixes are the reason I played BW2 after only playing BW.

[@zerocell2657]

Woah, this visualizer is cool!

[@SoshuMusic]

this cover is literally perfect :')

[@daniellelondon439]

Yay! Another banger remix! Colress is one of my favorite characters, his theme is so cool.

[@Zwelious087]

Today is better bc Bran uploaded

[@jackychangreal]

this is the greatest day ever, favourite song from one of my favourite artists

[@TheFerdi265]

I love that new visualizer

[@Ophidian_Obake]

And then the Science man said "It's Science-ing time" and scienced all over my pokemon team... (absolute banger as always bran! This theme sounds SUBLIME in chiptune style)

[@TheEveryDayNightmare]

THE LEGEND CAME BACKK🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Lugitaro]

this is so well executed

[@doodleplays_jpng]

And when the world needed them the most, they returned with an ABSOLUTE BANGER

[@jayla4160]

I trust in Bran to only post bangers

[@Superbuchi]

My favorite battle theme in the whole series!

[@volt42re]

I don’t know if you do requests, but a Pizza Tower remix would be pretty neat. I absolutely love the work you did here (and on your other remixes, which I listen to daily) and I think it would be right up your alley.

[@TapDat52K]

And the Bran Master is back! Hopefully you are doing well and in good health!

[@sesijanarjasis9917]

Bran I could kiss you, what a notification to get! I haven't clicked on one of these faster in my entire life, Colress has one of the best battle themes ever! ❤

[@darkblood5717]

The legend has returned!

[@cadesturm5095]

THAT'S THAT BOLD NEW TASTE WE'VE BEEN MISSING

[@AymenZero]

Holy shit you're alive?

[@pokekidcyber]

Ah yes, a phenomenal arrangement of the most unique battle theme in the mainline Pokémon games, in my opinion at least. Proof that the future can still hold some good surprises.

[@sorem4168]

Hmm, yes I see full potential here....

[@MikemasterM1]

We may not have gotten Unova remakes or Legends Kyurem yet, but this should hold me over until we do! Excellent work as always bran!

[@Paweu240]
