Pokemon Trading Card Game - Normal Battle, Band Cover

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Sounds great, gentlemen. Thanks for asking me to do this great game from a game that should get much more love.

[@CrumbHuntComplete]

+insaneintherainmusic thank you for doing the game.

[@AlexSmashX3]

Hopefully it will now that its on virtual console.

[@91years]

insaneintherainmusic big fan of yours man

[@duoge9139]

YO IT'S YOU

[@dylanmuller2611]

It's Pokemon. The game does you.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

The soundtrack from that game doesn't get enough love, IMO.

[@toshitosliba4737]

The game is fun as hell. I really liked it, too bad that no1 gives a shit about Pokemon TCG :(

[@AiLoveGaara]

Now that I think about it, I played TCG wayyyyy more than I did Pokemon Blue etc back in the day. Guess this kind of game engaged me more, not to put down grinding/catching Pokemon or anything but I'm glad it existed as an alternative for peeps like me :P No one I know seems to even know about TCG's existence :/

[@Manas-co8wl]

I'll be really honest, this is the only pokemon game I finished. I gave up halfway through red but this one kept me fully engaged all the way!

[@realmczappa]

Ikr!! How bout the sequel tho?

[@rubemevangelista3868]

I just played this game for the first time and after the first battle I was already hooked to this. Really amazing OST.

[@FamilyJules7X]

Awesome dude! You guys fucking nailed it!

[@payp5285]

the only thing missing from this, is the coin flip

[@MichaelBurnsGuitar]

Hold up mash A secure heads!

[@killertrip10]

The deck shuffling.

[@MiscellaneousVariety]

10/90 chance of being successful.

[@MateriaGirl]

@@MiscellaneousVariety I'm a year late on this, but the coin flip wasn't RNG. It flipped to whatever side was facing you when you pressed the button!

[@MiscellaneousVariety]

@@MateriaGirl Really? I need to test that out.

[@HollingsWorst]

this channel is like if someone hooked a cable up to my brain, searched it for things I think are the best things in the world, no matter how obscure, then reproduced those things in immaculate video form

[@Veltior]

this comment made me look up their channel and realize it's the same for me, so i subbed lul

[@MoncusB]

Damn well said

[@malcolm5]

Yo I thought you gonna say if we put a table up

[@nnnaaarrriii]

子供の頃の思い出が蘇る… 涙が

[@qw3rtyx2]

This is actually ridiculously well done. It's one of the rare covers that I appreciate more than the original. Wish all my constant replays from the mp3 counted as views for ya.

[@Luis12Oliveira]

I recently played this game on the 3DS virtual console and I was so surprised by the excellent soundtrack for such s niche spin-off game. This is execution is flawless.

[@ignas358]

This song somehow sounds very.... Nintendo? It reminds me of a lot of what the new Mario Odyssey stuff sounds like. Swingy, jazzy, warm, upbeat, with the major, triumphant movements as well. It’s a great piece and you guys did it flawlessly. Thanks for bringing me back to elementary. 😊👍🏼

[@AtrieTheWorldTroublesolver]

Definitely japan's 90s era of fusion jazz, like cassiopeia

[@bayani-poke]

懐かしすぎる、なんでこれを選んだんだ笑 すげぇ

[@S9staryu]

Im never gonna stop coming back for more of this

[@Patrick-Phelan]

Every instrument's solo, I thought "this is the best solo in the piece", and then I got to the next one.

[@TheJinzoSpoon]

tHIS IS THE HIGHLY SPECIFIC COVER I NEEDED AND I DIDN'T KNOW

[@micaelmaya-peinl535]

This game needs a 3ds remake with you all performing the score

[@stephan5512]

I Agree!

[@apdroidgeek1737]

The game was underrated in the first place

[@JJ-qo7th]

Remake. With all of the cards and rules. But you start off with the basics and progress into new rulesets and card sets as you advance.

[@spaceowl9246]

@@JJ-qo7th Shit, that would be absolutely great.

[@danlangdon]

Or a Switch remake

[@Porygonal64]

This is EXACTLY how I'd imagine the music if they remade Pokemon TCG for 3DS.

[@janmarcano]

I don't often feel the need to comment on KZbin videos, but this was really really good. Came to KZbin to see if anyone had done a cover for this song; so glad I found this!

[@channelsurfing]

This is one of the best covers I have ever heard!

[@apdroidgeek1737]

This is the only cover on KZbin

[@Bulby]

unf. This is super good. Great stuff.

[@OhHeyMarc]

Best cover of this song, 8 years strong.

[@baggyshus2717]

this deserves every single view it has gotten why is this game's music so good

[@chacha6250]

この曲、後半の盛り上がりが最高ですよね。

[@Threshroge]

you make me wanna cry man. fuck it im already crying. beautiful choice

[@espeonmatrix]

This deserves so much more attention!!

[@afatblft93]

I'll never regret stealing this game from my cousin back when i was 8. 21 years later and i still have it. he doesn't mind that i took it cause he knew how much i loved that game.

[@TheSteelDialga]

That guitar solo was so rockin' smooth. Loved the cover!

[@AdamDallas]

Is this one of the most joyful and innocent themes in existence? Yes I think it is! Pure happiness. Excellent rendition folks, God tier performances here

[@S9staryu]

This cover makes me cry every time. It's seriously so good, even tears and years later

[@forceknt31]

Absolute banger. This made my day. Great playing, y’all

[@RockyTorres43]

How come I JUST found this cover today?! It's INCREDIBLE!

[@christopherchan9714]

Recently replayed the game and then stumbled on this, this is an absolute masterpiece of a cover! Hats off to u all gents!

[@HugoreLB]

I'm drooling over this. I love that they kept the original arpeggio sequence right before the "alf theme" part of the song at 3:38 because if played it would have been too flashy. Good taste.

[@blazegriz]

Good catch

[@ohmaplaymaker]

As a battle theme in the main series, it might be amazing.

[@sanaki_gamer2026]

I think it fits more a Trade Pokemon Music or a Route.

[@csolisr]

I've been searching for a proper remake of this song for years already. This kind of nails it, I wasn't searching for a live rerecording, but I'm not particularly picky either. Actually, it gets awesome by the latter half!

[@Yus]

If you do the gym battle next i think i'll cry, awesome job ^^

[@GiordanoBruno42]

I was sat waiting for the sax intro ahahaha Perfection

[@IronyBolt]

Left KZbin on autoplay mode on Pokémon TCG2's GR Battle Theme and somehow ended up here... and I'm so glad I did haha In general I'm not really a fan of covers, but this one is simply amazing. The original track was already great (and a personal favorite), and you guys made it even better! Great work!

[@ZenigameDirect]

This is basically perfect. Good job.

[@zacknoble]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for making this! I could listen all day 🎶🎷🎮🥰

[@Maikonix]

We're about to head into our commercial break but don't go anywhere, up next we have special guest Ronald with his new book Energy and You, so stick around!

[@firstname7071]

I know right. Sounds like late night tonight with Professor.Oak

[@rytrkd]

素晴らしいです。

[@BearManescalchi]

Incredible work everyone! The Switch release of TCG got me back into it and led me to discovering your incredible cover.

[@wifi91]

It feels like forever ago when I listened to this and started appreciating Jazz. It's been only 4 years instead

[@moystupido]

Thank you for bringing this song to life! It's very nostalgic for me growing up with the TCG on GameBoy Color!

[@1happboy]

This is honestly one of the most fantastic covers on KZbin and nobody can convince me otherwise

[@ghostmonkeycustoms3766]

That Sax though 😍😍😍

[@Trirosmos]

Gosh, the mixing on this is superb!

[@RoPanuganti]

You can't go wrong with MaxHam, Carlitos, or DrPez. It's like if you guys were at a Kool and the Gang gig rocking to Pokemons.

[@GFK283]

I played this game when I was 12 and I still find myself whistling songs from it at least once a week.

[@showiproute]

I just had a massive flashback to the year 2000 and learned exactly how that grouchy food critic felt near the end of the Pixar film Ratatouille. Now I'm just sitting here stunned. Thank you for making this outstanding cover!

[@davidsterling7570]

I thought a sax lead would work, then saw this thumbnail! I came for insaneintherain but was delighted by everybody; what a wonderful compilation ❤

[@scoopsmcgoops]

LOOOOOOOVE this song, man. Major nostalgia points, I haven't heard this in a good long while. And A+ on the instrumentalists' parts, all great musicians.

[@CRANTIME]

This game's soundtrack is amazing and you are even more so

[@astralbuddha]

Daaaamn that guitar solo got that guthrie govan quality to it.

[@something2424]

You brought back so much nostalgia for me, and with such musical talent! Even though this is a few years old, know that this brought me joy today.

[@sunwentai1]

One of my favorite tunes of all time. This is a very inspired cover. I absolutely love it. Well done!

[@RaccoonWithMatches]

I cane across this video and i haven't heard this song since i was a kid - it brought a tear to my eye thinking back to younger days, thank you for that

[@ktvx.94]

9001 points for picking this song, I always liked it and hadn't heard it basically since I was a kid. I feel that it was a bit empty at the beginning, the guitar and/ or bass should've been louder, but some time before the solo it was all fixed and then it kept getting better and better. Hats off.

[@shredded_lettuce]

Oh man that guitar solo in the middle was so smooth. Also sick sax harmonies from InsaneInTheRain :) Gotta say though that I hate you because I've been working on an arrangement very similar to this (seriously sax harmonies, funky bass and everything haha) that I was thinking about entering in the next Dwelling of Duels free month. Now I gotta go switch it up some more :P Really awesome stuff and I hope more people do covers/remixes from Pokemon TCG (or Pinball!)

[@robertcena9194]

Why do I find this NOW after all this years! I love this so much!!

[@HQshlumuscle]

This version would totally work as a Mario Kart 8 track. Great sound!

[@NickOleksiakMusic]

You guys leaned right into those Casiopea vibes, which is exactly how I think Ichiro Shimakura imagined it!

[@jameslighterGTR]

This is beautiful music. Loved this theme growing up and you guys did a spectacular job.

[@MiBrCo4177]

I just found this in my feed 7 years later lol. I didn't know I needed it but I'm definitely glad it's here. Great work!

[@dylanmuller2611]

This is literally the best song ever made and and even better cover!!!!!!!!!!

[@tricatmeows]

This game has the best lead melodies of any Pokemon game ever, to this day

[@VideoGamer945]

I enjoyed this immensely

[@ATthemusician]

TCG has some of my favorite gameboy music, such an underrated game

[@Family-ee1mz]

そうとう昔のゲームなのに海外でも知られているなんて。。。そしてすごい上手ですね。

[@NicoAiko]

ですよね！

[@JackieFroSTALKER]

この曲を聞くと、子供の頃を思い出させる。そのゲームはとてもとても懐かしい。

[@jamesyeoman2421]

My fave cover of any Pokemon soundtrack song. I cannot get enough of it. So glad you guys all joined together to create this masterpiece, you are all such talented musicians. As others have said, a really understated game and soundtrack that I have good memories of as a child. Imagine the possibilities with a remake of this game now with the range of cards there is. Good Job, and can't wait to see and hear more like this!

[@NK-sj2ne]

The YT algorithm needs to get this all the way to the top. A Perfect cover.

[@Kevinj852009]

The grandmasters have appeared!!! I love this!!

[@isaacy2791]

dayummmmmm!!!! wasn't expecting that silky smooth sax. this is amazing, guys!

[@Soundole]

Wow, so awesome that you got Carlos in on this. Sounds fantastic!

[@astrofenix9839]

The song I will listen to when I play TCG Pocket ❤

[@Ozeki_Negima]

So many feels. You did a marvelous job, this sounds like an official Kondo arrangement.

[@Dr._Love]

Talk about a blast from the past. This game made me understand the basics of the game with strategy. Love it! Thanks, guys!

[@mechachoi]

Holy smokes this is INCREDIBLE! Props to all of you, instrumentation and solos were both amazing. Everyone shines bright in this one, definitely subbing and favoriting. Bravo!

[@CroniXw0rd88]

This is really fucking good, well done guys. A great rendition of an amazing theme.

[@doug-goat]

I love this, it’s nice and fresh funky.

[@77Supasid77]

This is gonna be my wedding entrance song lmaooo

[@tricatmeows]

I just wanted you to know I ended a DJ stream that featured a several anime convention rave DJs last year with this song. Amazing cover

[@camilobedex]

It's nice to see some love for one of the most underrated vgm ost of all time, and with an awesome awesome cover. Loved the guitar solo.

[@Viceroy11]

Thankyou for doing this 🙏🏼 such a great game I’m still playing at 33 when I got the game when I was 12. Great arrangement and performance too

[@SamuraiMasenko]

Whoa, I had this song stuck in my head all day yesterday. Now it's gonna stay in my head for weeks.

[@Iamguitarman92]

Dr. Pez, your interpretations of Pokemon music are simply jaw dropping. But this, holy crap. All of you are fantastic, and thank you for an amazing performance (recording, whatever.)

[@Butzbo]

Amazing job Doc!! So glad this popped up in my (yearly or so) search for covers from this great GameBoy gem.

[@SinnedKnight]

Sweet Lord...you just won me over. This is one of the most underrated, but most amazing battle songs.

[@pokemontradingcardgamecoll5934]

This is awesome! I love it. The gameboy game has a fantastic soundtrack.

[@Sakubo]

Amazing. I really loved the ost back then. So many memories.

[@Baqsam]

Couldn't have asked for a better cover! The national anthem of my childhood...

[@turdboy962]

Damn this is fantastic! Not even sure how I stumbled upon this, but I'm so glad I did. The Pokemon TCG on gameboy was one of my favourite games as a kid, you guys really nailed this! You're all incredibly talented musicians!

[@DeathlyHand]

When I saw this pop up on my feed I literally yelled YES YES YES! I love this song so much and I've lacked the talent to arrange and play it myself. I love the work you do!!

[@michaelcemhalicioglu3209]

I had forgotten how awesome this song was, and made even better! EXCELLENT JOB!!! The only thing missing is the card shuffle noise :D

[@tiffany.nichole9530]

Finally somebody appreciates the music from this game!

[@_Strez]

This just came into my life,and wow. I'm so happy this exists

[@Wolblade]

So glad to hear that this got made, as I know I had suggested this very theme long ago and it has turned out wonderfully. Many thanks to you all for this amazing cover!

[@Sapphireeyes104]

I'm so glad someone realized how great this song was and covered it ^^

[@shadowtheimpure]

A good choice for main melody, using the saxophone.

[@greenlight8819]

Had to come back to this version as it randomly popped up in my head. Wish I could play a part of it on something. Good job guys!

[@miauw8762]

Damn this is good
