And then one of them blipped out of existence, forgot her entire life, and became a space cop.

Anabel

[@LostSoulSilver]

Honestly, best way of bringing back an obscure character from an older game

[@pablotomasllodra4423]

What

[@CordyMcDonald]

@@pablotomasllodra4423canonically, Annabelle accidentally entered an alternate universe where the gen 6 and up games are based, but got amnesia from the whole dimension hopping thing

[@BJGvideos]

@@pablotomasllodra4423 In Sun and Moon, the girl in the thumbnail shows up as an amnesiac young woman working for the international police, tracking down these strange events called Ultra Wormholes and thus the Ultra Beasts that emerge from them. She had apparently been taken by one several years before, resulting in the loss of memory, and nausea and headaches when she deals with them, but also a resolve to make sure that people are safe from the threat.

[@amateraceon5202]

The Hoenn Battle Frontier, home to some of the most fondly remembered times by the fans and also the Battle Palace

[@potatocatstar]

💀

[@dhayris160]

Or it would be, if the facilities didn't cheat so hard.

[@yokoelf1293]

Ruby/Sapphire Players: damn, the Battle Tower is hard and unfair. I wonder if it will be better on the third version. GameFreak: Hold my Soda Pop...

[@Locke5413]

I was just thinking about how I only ever got to one of the Frontier Brains once in my life and got cockblocked by a goddamn Shuckle...

[@tedscheett9420]

Rough.

[@mynameisleave]

don't fuckle with shuckle!

[@baconlovingvampire4523]

That's rough

[@Aurirang]

I think my proudest achievement wa getting the gold medal on the vipitis and the tournament. The palace (where Pokémon choose their own actions felt majorly rigged though.

[@justarandompurplefox3243]

I don’t understand how I beat Lucy for the silver emblem when I was a child. It’s the only Emerald emblem I ever earned

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

This is by far my favorite song from the franchise, both this and the Platinum/HGSS Frontier Brain tracks are beautiful and not nearly appreciated enough due to how deep into the games they are. Great cover Jonny!

[@thefreshestmango1106]

Oh hey. Nice to see you here

[@Darakudemon]

Those two themes and then the PWT Final Round theme are some of the top battle themes.

[@the_real_yummuy]

i mean zinnias theme also rocks

[@HenryXLII]

I'm convinced that the main reason the Battle Frontier is so missed is approximately 60% this banger theme, 35% the presentation, and 5% the actual gameplay.

[@Garde_Mystik]

ORAS has a sick remix of these theme given to the Battle Chatelaines tho, so that 60% should still be there

[@GreatFernicus]

The spectacle of it all was definitely something to behold, even the Galar Battle Tower looks like a little shack in comparison to the Battle Frontiers But the beauty of the Battle Frontier was just having a bunch of ways to shake up things instead of just battle, battle, battle, the mechanics were compelling and fun and helped you break up the monotony of grinding

[@TheTheisson]

i appreciate the cheeked up feraligatr

[@aiox82]

So hype! I consider this the birth of the true meta game in Pokemon. It's because of the battle frontier that I learned about breeding, EVs, IVs and how to build a genuinely competitive team.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

That moment when you built a full on competitive team for the battle frontier thanks to the adventures magna but then straight up denied by Spenser to play the game

[@El_senor-E1006]

rock + pokemon music: unstoppable combination

[@ShadowsWrath4]

THE BEST POSTGAME PRESENT OF THEM ALL AND THE MOST PAINFUL CURSED RNG YOU'LL EVER FIND IN A TURN BASED STRATEGY GAME. LOVE IT AND HATE IT, HOENN'S BATTLE FRONTIER WAS GLORIOUS THANK YOU, MR. ATMA!

[@shanegiorgio4713]

I feel like I've run into more cursed rng across all the Fire Emblem games I've played, but these battle facilities can still take a solid 2nd place for me.

[@DrDimentio]

The 4th gen Frontier had much worse RNG potential in my experience, especially the Factory in Platinum/HGSS - but I agree that 3rd gen was also pretty crazy

[@komarunaegi7460]

@@DrDimentio Hey, at least in 4th Gen, you never had to deal with the Palace. Literal RNG incarnate.

[@alexemp6201]

This remix was wild. Not only thos was one of my requests, this also felt very experimental in a way, you tried a lot of things you don't usually do in your remixes and let me tell you doctor, the experiment was a success, beyond any expectaions. Thanks a lot man, you're the best

[@whokodthelonghorn]

Battle Frontier forever! It needs to come back in a future game

[@the_real_yummuy]

they better not make it so that what happened in ORAS repeats 😭🙏

[@edboi8114]

FINALLY! HE FINALLY DID IT! GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME FEEL! I CAN FINALLY SCRATCH ANOTHER HUGE REQUEST OFF MY LIST AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF LISTENING TO GAMETAL!

[@MetaZekrom72]

I still remember managing beating the Battle Pike using a Registeel as a kid. Lucy’s finale Pokémon was Shuckle and my Registeel had no moves left so I won with Struggle! 🤣 My most memorable moment from Pokémon Emerald.

[@yokoelf1293]

Damn that must have been epic

[@GoGalactic]

God I remember my first time facing a Frontier Brain and getting my shit canned in. The idea that there were trainers that ascend the elite four in a tournament setting blew my mind

[@mr_pants278]

Dude, this was nuts, perfectly matched the energy from these fights. I desperately need to hear the Platinum/HGSS Frontier Brain from you one day, I just know you'd make it sound insane, man.

[@DarkOverord]

I LOVE the inclusion of the GBA Horns in this :D Fantastic work

[@christianventura4318]

Pokemon soundtracks are just elevated a new level when they undergo the GaMetal treatment 🤘🏽

[@Typh98]

This year I was expecting another Pokemon champion remix, like Lance/Red or Steven/Wallace, but instead comes a full remix of my favorite GBA song of all time!! I already thought you did the song justice back in the GBA medley, but the return of those Hoenn horns really makes me appreciate this song's inclusion in May Madness. Thank you as always for making me relive my childhood days.

[@dj-redux]

what a classic! covered by THE classic!

[@brandontherabboat4850]

This theme is anxiety-inducing like few else in this series.

[@LordStrell]

This was the greatest crime of the ORAS remakes. We finally got justice done by Johnny. The remix we deserved and never got.

[@moldyshishkabob]

So glad to hear this theme get covered! From all the remixes/remasters I've heard of this song, I feel like there are few that really nail the intense, yet triumphant feeling I get from the original. Naturally, the one and only Johnny Atma nabs all seven gold medals with this remix.

[@voidastralbirth]

I miss the Battle Frontier so much.

[@Mar_Marine]

The Battle Frontier - home to the strongest trainers. One of my favorite Pokemon memories is getting absolutely mopped in the battle tower to this tune. It made me realize Pokemon was more than a game where you just click the strongest move on your starter, and was the first instance of what was possible with time and effort. Thanks for this amazing remix!

[@VictorReed11]

Nearly 2 decades lates later, and this is still my favorite boss theme in the franchise. And this cover slaps harder than a Hariyama. Fantastic job.

[@Ravencourt66]

I started to play guitar a year ago and piano almost 2 years and since I play music I´ve admired you and I wish I someday play like you, even if my amp sounds shit or I suck at guitar I want to keep playing bc of your covers (ngl sometimes I want the tabs of some of the solos of your covers, they´re sick) I started to watch your covers with the Bowser´s Inside Story final Boss theme cover and my first thought was "damn this dude rocks"

[@tedscheett9420]

This honestly feels like something that they'd use in the anime.

[@MarioAlexander]

This is definitely the best cover ive ever heard for this song!!!! You killed it!!!

[@Polygon-Dude01]

Freaking love your soundtrack covers, keep up the great work. 👍

[@dacedave4161]

I thought someone was angrily knocking on my door until I realized ITS JUST ANOTHER BANGER FROM GAMETAL!!! 🎸🎶🎶

[@Krakhon]

jonny u are the best u rock \m/

[@shuppett6188]

The battle frontier was where boys became men, even by the most brutal ways. But you learned. Nothing in the modern games comes close to this. Shame they don't offer challenges like this anymore.

[@Sigmund_Froid]

It's been so long since I played any of the games with the Battle Frontier, and I really wish they brought it back. Emerald was technically my first game, though I'd say Pearl was the one that really got me into the series... But ORAS was my favorite Pokémon Game by far, which was really only missing the Battle Frontier! And hearing this theme in Sun and Moon was really cool as well, I actually weirdly like the plot they did with Anabel, but that might just be because I find the concept of the International Police in Pokémon fascinating. I mean, it's one of those things that shows that, in some ways, the Pokémon World still deals with real Problems, and deals with it in a way the real World would... Just, with Pokémon. Okay, Pokémon nerding aside, this remix slaps!

[@cochi2221]

Oh boy... here we go!

[@topazlynx2228]

Now all we need is Frontier Brain from Pokemon Platinum and my life will totally have been worth it.

[@virtualcolt]

YEEEEES, this is the best Frontier Brain theme in Pokemon and you absolutely nailed it.

[@videogamephenomhd]

After going through so many difficult battles, the metal and hype take center stage to beef up the ultimatum.

[@YljaTheBowler]

we’ve honestly couldn’t get a better final song of this years may madness! Without hesitation THE BEST may madness so far and THE BEST Frontier brain battle (hoenn) remix! + this whole concept was brilliant! Keep up the phenomenal work Jonny!

[@Switch_Lens]

Was really hoping for a Professor Layton remix, but this is also neat. Maybe we'll get one after the new game next year!

[@gaming_for_life620]

Throw it back to Gen 3!!! LET'S GO!!!

[@javitan9368]

One of my all time fav Pokémon songs covered by GaMetal? I'm in heaven right know Let's goooo

[@weeadoolo908]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! That key change around the middle was beautiful :)

[@solidskullz5736]

Of all the great music in Hoenn this one’s one of my favorites. It’s got a lot of energy and the frontier brain fights are better for it

[@snowyzorua]

HELL YES! I have been playing so much Emerald Rogue lately and hearing this a lot, your remix couldn't have come at a better time! FANTASTIC playing as always!

[@nattykitkatty]

I would absolutely ADORE hearing your take on the Atomic Boo battle music from the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake!!!

[@flookaraz]

This is one of if not my favourite battle them of all time. Thank you so much for covering this so well 😍😍

[@shadowmewfred09]

Just when I thought you couldn't make an awesome classic even better, that ending got me so pumped for battle

[@Rubberman202]

Johnny Atma Big (Frontier) Brain maneuver with this cover!

[@justarandompurplefox3243]

Oh my god this battle theme is so underrated! I’m glad you covered it!

[@UltraZapdos]

One of my favorite gen 3 tracks! Thank you for helping me relive my childhood!

[@TheCreepypro]

a precious gem of a remix!

[@Zaveghunter]

Never got to hear this song ingame because I always sucked at building a good team when I was young. Fantastic cover, absolutely loved it!

[@LordLucario12]

I have been waiting so SO long for you to do this one and it was SO WORTH IT

[@thom2331]

Okay I know the acoustic covers are just a nice little treat to put at the end But I am FIENDING for a full Mt Pyre Spanish Guitar Cover

[@eliaslamofetacolorida4679]

Minute 2:49 is the best of all, it reminded me a lot of when I was finally able to arrive and face all the Frontier Brains for their silver symbol. I'm still trying for the gold symbols, but I know I can get them. Excellent cover 🤍

[@tonyarceus777]

man this is awesome this was always one of my favorite songs from emerald, i fought tooth and nail to reach the frontier brains JUST to hear this song

[@whereismrclean6783]

I was already really excited for this one when it was announced last time, and my expectations were pretty high. Needless to say, they were blown out of the water with this cover! The guitar was great as always, and the solo was cool as well, but the main thing was how high energy this cover really felt! This cover really got me pumped up, and I really thought that it helped sell the song super well! Also RIP Revolver, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. Anyways, I see Metal Sonic next, which could mean either Stardust Speedway or What I'm Made Of. Both are hype! Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate! (Kirby Planet Robobot) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX Advent) 11. Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair) 12. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet) 13.

To this day Brandon still holds that gold frontier symbol from me😭😭😭

Duude! This is fire! 🔥 I'd go feral to see you do this for the Frontier Brain theme from Platinum!

[@a-zadri]

Absolute fire, love the instrumentation here.

[@giodude92]

This brought back so many sweet memories. Hoenn will always be one of my all-time favourite regions!

[@hypernova_119]

So glad I could contribute to this masterpiece getting a full remix!!

[@ShokudaikiriMitsutada]

2:28 You know how insanely good this Remix is when you see that even the Bowser couldn't miss the chance to show up there. haha

[@ThePurpleCheeseMan]

An amazing remix. And I see Metal Sonic on the preview! It just gets better and better on this channel.

[@redruby3412]

VAAAAMMMMOOOOOOS I don't know I need this song until I hear. Thanks for the cover

[@TGX42]

Yes! The Frontier Brain's theme is the epitome of a Final Battle in Pokemon. Not overly agressive or evil, just pure excitement of the ultimate test of skill.

[@Aur0raAura]

YES YES YESSSSS!!!!! I was so excited when I saw this be teased! I love this song to bits. 🔥🔥🔥

[@franciscosotovillegas4480]

An AWESOME remix, from one of my favorite Pokémon battle songs 🤩

[@gorzux2829]

And Mt Pyre theme in the end gives me life and hope 🙏

[@Chikayuki]

...Ok, I clearly wasn't expecting this remix. And OH GOSH, it is amazing !

[@EricTheChampion5393]

Woooo!!! This was my number one hope for this May Madness! That make two years in a row that my top choice made it!

[@pokedriftthecasalive6820]

[@HeadInTheClouds485]

Aaaaaaaaaand another one to the favorites list. Well done!

[@legendsofspeed7756]

Found this at 4am in Australia love it thanks for your efforts men

[@brando_ssb7577]

The og GBA horns caught me off guard but are nostalgic af and work so damn well! Awesome inclusion on an awesome cover

This is probably my second favorite Pokemon song to pwt finals in black/white 2

THE HORNS ARE BACK LESGOOOOOOOO

[@NerdKirby]

PEAK POKÉMON BATTLE THEME OH MY GOD this cover kicks so much ass!!!!!

[@DarkFangz]

Holy shit didn't expect this today, the Frontier Brain battle theme is probably one of my favorite pokemon battle themes of all time

[@zachgoose93]

I love your music so much and as insane it is to say I love your versions of songs more than the OGs!. Could you please please please consider a "I Am" The Shadow the Hedgehog main theme?

[@vrrfux4626]

WE BEATING THE FRONTIER BRAINS WITH THIS ONE AND WE RUNNING THROUGH STARDUST SPEEDWAY WITH THE NEXT ONE

[@ChristianCTaken]

Ooo, Metal Sonic in the preview... What I'm Made Of? been a while since we had a vocal theme! And... Oh, the last one was Never Turn Back from Shadow, hah.

[@faldezon]

Every time you do something with RSE it turns out killer. The Mt. Pyre acoustic at the end almost makes me wonder how a proper cover would sound lol. Looking forward to the hue-dgehog by the way. Wonder which theme it'll be?

[@Dakpo]

What a banger

[@purpledevil6794]

Kaepora gabora theme would be epic, this was a banger

[@MonochromeRaptor]

YES!!! One of my favorite battle themes! Please do the HGSS version someday!!!

[@naveresperchapct6689]

Ah yes, This finally come❤.

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

Amazing remix, dropping banger after banger I see

[@stego549]

Awesome! I would love to hear a rendition of the Sinnoh Frontier Brain one day!

[@edfreak9001]

Banger music as always as for the challenger approaching gonna guess... Death Egg's Eye from Sonic The Fighters? I mean it's probably Stardust Speedway but it's fun to think outside the box.

[@JakesFavorites]

One word. WORTHY

[@GamesProject]

I remember listening to the GBA medley with that song and kinda wanted to have a full version of it. Damn I'm not disappointed. If only Pokemon fights would be this epic all the time.

[@silverdamascus2023]

Pay attention to May Madness, since you can vote for which songs from medleys will get full versions. And if you're a Patreon, you can vote songs for the medleys, making them having a higher chance of a full version.

[@tanaka5406]

Perfect Remix, one of the best Pokémon OST
