"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss

[@ayther9563]

-literally everyone under a kind of aad song

[@grandmasterlapanen9792]

I remember some time ago i played this game through and cried at this theme

[@soonerfancarter]

And then cry

[@sandeepmanguli3505]

Tears Of Happiness 😢😭

[@callmelime5870]

Fun and gruesome fact: Dr. Seus had a wife with cancer, he left her, she got depressed and killed herself

[@FaraFellow]

So I've been obsessed with this game's soundtrack since I was a kid, and now that I'm a musicology major with a side hobby of chiptune composing/programming, I want to say how much this game's entire soundtrack is a technical marvel as well as a great suite of music on its own. It's hard to properly describe in a single comment how impressive RSE's orchestral sound fonts are for how limited the GBA's sound hardware is, as is the fortepiano at the very end. The soundtrack of the first two generations feels quite baroque by virtue of its limited sound capabilities, resorting to outlining chords in multiple voices, which is extremely cool on its own. The GBA era of Pokemon games definitely feels like a parallel to the break into the classical style of things, with a major focus on instrument textures and a grander, more theatric feel. It makes a lot of sense that this was the stepping stone for the series' music on its way to the really complex, jazzy, and internationally-inspired soundtracks on the DS. Also, I just realized these games came out a couple months before I was born. I guess my family was just behind on our video game collection 😅

[@phibbykaden]

Let's turn back the clock to 2003. I was in college and still living with my parents. Pokemon Sapphire was the first GBA game I ever owned, and I walked 45 minutes or so up to Toys 'R' Us to get it. A few weeks later I sat on a chair in a far corner of our house and listened quietly as this song played. Beyond my starter being Torchic, I don't even remember what my first Hall of Fame team was anymore. Fast forward to 2007. We're getting ready to move across the country, the trip lasting several days. Most of our stuff is packed away. I was never going to see the house that I'd lived in from junior high onward again, and I knew that. So I go back to that far corner of the house, get out Sapphire, and battle the E4 and Steven all over again. And I sit back, watch the credits scenes, listen to this song, sit on the 'The End' screen for a while, and let my memories carry me away all the while. I miss those days.

[@theking_official4482]

@Mudkip :D eww

[@Isiahjeter]

Dude I was in elementary, got it on my birthday at 6. It was great.

[@phibbykaden]

@@Isiahjeter The stuff that memories are made of.

[@officialbananacouncil3304]

This was a prime time of every pokemon champion/hall of famer's pokemon career along with red and blue

[@sunnebolt7088]

the fact that people are willing to write stories that barely anyone even comes to, and knowing that rarely anyone will pay the comments section any mind, is one of the incredible powers of music. It really brings you back, even if you haven't experienced it, it still feels like that nostalgic emotion is still there.

[@DoubleDash21]

Man,it makes me cry,hoenn adventures are the BEST POKÉMON ADVENTURES! Pure Nostalgia (Rest in peace Iwata)

[@emerald_blaze]

agree!

[@leopoldorodriguez9659]

Agree x1000 I'll never forget one of the best times of my life and my last years before became a teen, I played Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. If I could back in time only once to enjoy those moments😣😭😭

[@seewdshakr]

1:55 that very moment when the Trumpet starts playing...I had goosebumps...

[@matthewpoole2700]

Every single time

[@MinDeulRes]

2003年爸爸去美国出差时买来的这个游戏真是让人难忘啊。 当时完全不懂英语的9岁时爸爸一一翻译，成为冠军时的快感令人难忘。 虽然玩了北美版的游戏,但是玩得很开心。 谢谢你送我难忘的回忆 GAME FREAK

[@Immacksgdoesntpostonthisone]

Yeah it sounds cleaner in ORAS, but this version means way more to me. Not only does it sound surprisingly not completely butchered by the GBA Soundchip, but the composition is not only beautiful, but it doesn't feel the need to force in renditions of the other towns' themes. The Sootopolis Piano rendition sounds particularly odd in the remake's credits theme. It's probably just my nostalgia glasses fogging me up, as Sapphire was my introduction to the Pokemon series, but I seriously think that this song just can't be topped, not even the remaster's version.

[@mohammedhassanbharde1175]

I agree. Ruby was my first pokemon game and i've played it hundreds of times but this piece of music gets me everytime.

[@raull989]

Emerald was my first game in the pokemon series, and I loved it. But I really love the remasters too, and I think the remaster's ending tops it off, but the original ending is great too

[@huddlessss]

jaiden's pokemon medley

[@aza3ful1]

Of course this one didn't feel the need to put in all the town themes, it wasn't 10 years old yet. They obviously did that for the whole "hey, nostalgia" aspect.

[@jminich887]

I prefer the gba soundtrack instead of the 3ds one.

[@KingNefiiria]

Listening to this brings back memories of my childhood and playing this game. Must...hold back...the tears... Failing...! ;----;

[@kitsune4644]

i cried too ;-;

[@y100xt3]

crying too.. ;~;

[@blind_t2]

Y100XT why did i do this? Now I’m crying. I will never forget my team. They were unstopable til the very end.

[@aza3ful1]

the amount of emotion written into this is really incredible, and really inspiring. one of the most important songs in my life.

[@epicgamer-ur1wg]

Bro... the fuck is you on?

[@Jack-Vince-Danniel]

I passed this game. When I won, my party consisted of swampert, vigoroth, gardevoir, flygon, cacturne, and dusclops. When I hear this song, I remember when I was still on the road with my little mudkip, slackoth, ralts, trapinch, cacnea, and duskull. Many tears were shed.

[@RikN]

Same here. Swampert,Gardevoir,Breloom,Aggron,Salamance and Kyogre was my team. Pokemon are really great friends aren't they?

[@jackcoughlan9793]

Mine was Sceptile (Lvl 76), Zigzagoon (Lvl 3), Wurmple (Lvl 2), Poochyena (Lvl 6), Tailow (Lvl 8), and Tentacool (Lvl 13). I clearly didn't play the game right as a kid :P

[@LoneWanderer101]

Jack Coughlan Who needs strategy when your starter is seriously overpowered/ Exp. Share would've helped though.

[@matteopiomuscat2649]

I won it and my final party was a Blaziken LVL 90, Flygon and Groudon, Metagross, Gyarados,

[@andrewdoudna8894]

Blaziken, aggron, gardevoir, flygon, crobat, and kyogre

[@Taco1011]

I'm taken back to that night in 2004, after dad brought me home from daycare, and after we picked up McDonalds. Dad wanted me to go wash my hands before I ate. Came back and there it was, a brand new copy of Pokemon Ruby. The first game I beat by myself, without a guide. I was so proud of myself. I lost my dad in March of 2022 (Almost a year ago at the time of writing this comment.) It wasn't always easy, but man did he give me the best childhood a single father could have given me. This game, Spyro, Mario, and, to a lesser extent, Zelda, were all titans of my childhood.

[@POKÉ_MASTER750]

I will use this video to tell how I feel about something that happened to my pokemon in pokemon sapphire,it's about my pokemon Team,I had become very attached to them, they gave me the best journey I've ever had in any game, I had fun with them, I went through difficulties, I remember every moment I met them and evolved,I will never forget them, now that I have lost them forever, I will never forget Sceptile, Gardevoir, Magneton, Swellow, Kadabra and Kyogre, they gave me the best journey I have ever had,I'm grateful to have played Pokemon Sapphire and to have made this beautiful journey... now I hope they are resting in a better place...unfortunately those times will never return... now what remains are the memories of each moment...

[@stixoimatizontas]

Gen1 credits: the end of an adventure and the feeling of accomplishment. Gen2 credits: party hard coz we are the champions! Gen3 credits: we have grown and matured...

[@squarerootof9001]

this song has stuck with me more than any in my life. It floods so many memories back of a time past. It's my comfort song, it will always put me in a better mood no matter what and that's amazing.

[@BasicallyFrost]

I'm listening to this while on my way to say goodbye to my grandpa. Music has it's wonders, I love the feel the songs give both making me feel happy at the same time. Thank you for the experience and goodbye grandpa

[@officialbananacouncil3304]

I know this is 2 years later but thank your grandpa for bringing you greatness

[@JinJello]

random fact: pokemon has a manga (japanese comic book) series called pokemon adventures, and ruby's (brendon's) birthday is in july witch the birthstone of july is a ruby and saphire's (may's) birthday is in september witch the birthstone is a saphire.

[@thepimpshark]

I demand someone play this at my funeral

[@irieljoestar3809]

OK :3

[@theking_official4482]

I will

[@v1c-was-her3]

This is most certainly better than the remake version. Then again, nothing can compare to its original predecessor. It goes from calm, to really loud and out there, to signal that your adventure is over, but you still have a lot waiting out there for you, so GO DO IT! Listening to this can actually make me shed a tear or two, get chills, and cry really hard on the inside. I can't do that on the remake (sadly).

[@ryuukodabi254]

this song make me have little bit of water in my eye and give me chills

[@nikhg7269]

too much water

[@MasterofPokemonGing]

The remake is better IMO

[@magmarman2633]

Vic Art I personally like a few things in each, such as Dexnav, secret bases and most of the music, such as the Maxie/Archie battle theme, but some things, such as the Battle Frontier, Pokemon cries, gameplay and some of the music is just too impressive for the remakes to handle

[@superclonge8429]

Ruby and Sapphire are lacklustre in todays standards, however, it's those games that we love to go back to to enjoy what was so exciting for us back in the good ol days :) I still have my emerald and I just fall back to a sea of nostalgia every time I play.

[@renaryuugu984]

Ah man, nothing has gotten me into tears than Getting your diploma, and Driving back home playing this music. I love this game so much

[@advokatie]

May Iwata rest in peace...

[@Amruiz716]

No fucking way this comment is 8 years old… where did the time go?

I like this one better than the newer one

[@markdevontrocio1030]

The pictures of the pokemon you caught,a great music,and beautiful sceneries. Lets just say there is no place like Hoenn.

[@gilderglow1111]

I just heard this on a compilation and came here purely to say that this theme is absolute genius. Never even played the game. Have a good one, everybody.

[@SamuelKGunther]

You need too. This shit was my childhood and now every time I listen to it i sob

[@indigowatson178]

Gen 3 will always hold a special place in my heart. I used to live very close to Nintendo of Europe in the early 2000's and they would let you play the Gen 3 games at the local christmas market. Good times. ❤

[@tombolt13thexehanort29]

The new one doesn't give me chills like this one does, every time, this song gives me the chills.

[@mr.fizzygaming1569]

May Iwata rest in eternal joy. You will be dearly missed. Q~Q

[@xcalibur64]

R.I.P.

[@blazycatto]

Back here 7 years later, Rest in Peace Mr. Iwata

[@POPpopPOPE]

Just after listening to this over time, I see that there aren't enough songs like these. Only a few people can enjoy these songs and anyone can enjoy pop or rap. I wish there were, again, just more songs like these.

[@assemblyrequired7342]

I don't see what you mean. I can't stand pop or rap for very long, and that is if at all in the first place. Unless that means that we are in the minority.

[@aza3ful1]

Emotion isn't something that can come out of a huge scale production like big radio hits anymore. Of course rap can convey emotion and some artists are definitely good, but melody has slowly died and it's what really has made music, music. One day I promise songs will be like this again

[@scottm9982]

This is the good kind of music. It really conveys emotions, unlike modern pop.

[@xboxgamer474246]

If you burst out of the modern radio music bubble you will find plenty of lovely music waiting for you.

[@mangaboss1411]

I've been playing this game since I was 3 years old now I'm 21...man. Still enjoying it.

[@samu1414]

Emerald Kaizo Nuzlocker here. I played the game for 10 month with a break. It was hard, kept losing over and over and over including one full wipe to the Elite 4. But I made it back, got the victory, and seeing the credits theme with this playing over, with the all of the Pokemon I caught and lost along the way showing up.... was probably the best feeling I had since I was ten years old playing Pokemon and beating Pokemon Black for the first time, a feeling I hadn't had for over ten years

[@zf5214]

god, i remember defeating the elite four just to hear this theme, in the days before i used youtube...

[@yeemcgee8149]

Please play this at my funeral

[@blazycatto]

1:10 This part is the one that brings goosebumps

[@YoshifreakZX]

I posted an Iwata comment here, but also this reminds me of my childhood playing Emerald. I remember beating this game before school started one day. This music is just simply beautiful. It also reminds me of the good old days....... I just wanna cry when I hear this theme....... both Iwata's death and my childhood......

[@evanpower22]

Best generation by far. Full of nostalgia and amazing memories, and I will never forget these games

[@kutaoizumi4189]

This song has a sense of sadness, nostalgia but also happiness and triumph.

[@laurencevanpuyvelde]

1:55 gets me everytime.

[@derpjorge]

This will be my funeral music

[@LinkMaster5555]

Great choice

[@Todd-vy7iz]

So beautiful... My whole childhood... Beautiful Music used Tears, and it's super efficient.

[@JoetadXD]

I started crying at 1:33 dang i miss my team being swampert gardevoir crobat breloom manectric salamence especially 2:18 MY FACE WAS FULL OF TEARS

[@rzf91]

Two of us, my friend ;)

[@EasyModeFishing]

This song is a masterpiece as is this game. Still the only pokemon game where you could dive underwater! Best pokemon game ever!

[@mewtwo8035]

when you realise Pokémon RS was released 18 years ago on March 19 and its March 23-25

[@ivanpower9221]

Reminds me of 3rd grade right before summer vacation. My friends had sapphire and I was the only one with ruby. Was sad that the school year was over because all we would do is play these games so when I got to this part as a kid, it made me sad.

[@redpineapplee700]

I really love how this series has so many different generations, and not only is it just a new generation of games, but also a generation of people with each game. I find it amazing how in each generation there are different aged people, fans, all within the same age range in a single generation coming together to share happy memories about these games that were their beginning for Pokémon. I never played RSE, but this game's music always makes me feel nostalgia, and a sort of tranquil feeling when I take this into account.

[@notfabio9858]

It really is cool how each fan has their generation that started it and will always be special to them. For me gen 3 with leaf green and rse, but also gen 4 with diamond (first game I beat since I lost leaf green for a while)

[@GamingPlayer123]

When your long journey to become Champion ends and you're returning to your hometown in your bicycle, only a song like this one can speak to you emotionally. Very touching when you put the game's events into perspective.

[@saltypiplup9635]

this is the song i want at my funeral :D

[@abr6431]

gives me extreme nostalgia 1000000/1000000 ign and plus they should have kept this ending theme on the remakes for the whole entire credits

[@bruh.5620]

you do know that 1000000/1000000 is equivalent to 10/10, right? you shouldve said like "1000000/10"

[@piazzah1]

This has become a special kind of song for me. I got Sapphire in 2003, Ruby back in 2004, but in 2007 I started what would become one of my longest safe files on Sapphire. Around 170-190 hours if I recall correctly. My team back then would be the foundation of my Diamond team in 2007/08. Some months ago, I transferred all of them to my Moon edition, where they’re now in a special pc box for my former teams :-) Simply put - Sapphire was responsible for really ,,getting me back“ towards the Pokemon franchise and I‘m thankful being able to enjoy all these games today, up to the newest entries.

[@Nekiplex]

Damn. I put basically double hours into pokemon Shield than your Sapphire save file. What am i doing with myself. Well i suppose i DID go out of my way to complete the Pokédex. Im happy for you and your team. Hope they come with you for all the games to come (Just know... They can never go back to the GBA ever again)

[@linkfiedproductions2246]

“Don’t cry because it’s over, ahh whatever you get it” -LITERALLY EVERYONE UNDER A SAD SONG! But for real, this is my favorite game and always will be. Just wish it wasn’t over so quick

[@lightyagami6001]

W

[@DylanBigBruh]

Just beat Emerald for the 6th or 7th time an hour ago, this song never misses ong

[@slowpokemongeek]

ahh man i remember choosing torchic as my first starter ever since pokemon ruby was my first game of pokemon. i cant remember my team exactly, i just know that i overused blaziken that he was my first ever lv100 pokemon ever and i felt happy that he was soo powerful. ive played the heck outta pokemon ruby because it was pretty much my only form as entertainment as a kid. man i miss those times soo much.

[@breezer_gamer3115]

pokemon ruby was my first pokemon game, i remember the times i got stuck in parts of the game and it took ages to figure out what to do, i don't remember my first team but it was probably just a blaziken and a groundon anyway because I didn’t have the patience to train my pokemon, I had so much fun in this game as a child, everytime I hear this song I get emotional. sorry for the big text but I wanted to show my affection for this particular guy that marked me in an inexplicable way.

[@aisiru]

this shit makes me so sad mannnnnnnnnnnnnn i miss my childhood

[@LFDIII]

It's like I'm a freshman in high school again in 2003: I brought my GBA that my dad bought me, and with a game my friend let me borrow, which was Pokemon Sapphire. In band, we're having a study period, and I whip out my GBA making my way through the Elite 4. God...life was simpler as a kid.

[@GiratinaGX]

Sorry, but no remakes can ever top this. This is a masterpiece.

[@tenseishiyou]

I started playing in gen 5, Why does this give me nostalgia

[@virgiliogrigiotti384]

I was born in 90, so I grew up with GBC and first two pokemon gen's, I've never had GBA and so I don't know 3rd generation but I like so much this ending theme. It's emotional and evokes nostalgia of a time we can't have back more.

[@ryancharlton6246]

Can u imagine if this was the end credits theme of the last pokemon game made?! So many tears would be shed!!

[@Nekiplex]

I wasn't even alive when these games came out. I hate admitting im young, but i did play OrAs. One day that will be nostalgic to me. It kind of is already. I may have barely missed the time where phones had keyboards and everyone had mp3 players but im grateful that they still exist. Like an artifact of a long gone time.

[@sappy9320]

oras is nostalgic to me, i was in middle school when it came out. played ruby as a kid too. one day, it'll all be just a memory. that's the meaning behind this song for me

[@mangaboss1411]

People will be playing R&S for generations. This music will become instant nostalgia for anyone who beats the Champion.

[@notfabio9858]

GSC, RSE and DPP have gotta be my favorite Pokémon credits themes, they’re absolutely unforgettable

[@linkfiedproductions2246]

I can’t wait for this to play at my funeral.

[@t4bbyz_]

Dang... I miss those good old times... I wish me and my swampert could go back to our adventure in hoenn... Neither The remakes or a emulator would have the same effect on me while hearing this song... That was the first pokemon game i finished without struggling in the elite 4... The first pokemon game that i've finished... I'll miss those days.....

[@bend4r1n0]

I was so upset when the game ended, i was like "No! Not already! I want to keep playing! I dont want it to end!"

[@theking_official4482]

All tho my first game was oras I just think the original is better in every way 1:55 “got to catch them all”

[@FFFlemish]

The Adventure does not end here. Its just the beginning of your exciting life as the Champion of Hoenn, good luck at the Battle Tower (Name of Player) !!

[@GiordanDiodato]

hard to believe these games are almost 15 years old.

[@Nekiplex]

Count em 18 now. They're legally an adult now

[@sparklywings2075]

1:32 This emotional part gave me such nostalgia

[@ms.duck3729]

it’s sad knowing the days of our childhood playing this game are over and we can’t get back I miss my childhood my only worry was my torchic fainting

[@oroheartgold]

Hoenn Confirmed :,)

[@Leamas_Nave]

To those still listening you the real ones have a amazing 2022 ✌

[@Imperialmodesty]

This song is better than the remakes. It's peaceful and relaxing and enjoyable and happy. But the most important thing is that it's nostalgic

[@themasterlag-chile5523]

I win the hoenn league more than 20 times and I like this song makes me nostalgic

legit... don't know why but i'm tearing up... Dat Nostalgia

[@4esposito]

By far the best ending theme.. I cry

[@arenagrandad7260]

Gen 3 remakes were super effective, but they took a bit of recoil damage...

[@CamusDesings]

My favorite pkm game.

[@FC-fz3lx]

My most memorable gen

[@chappieprimetf5041]

When I was little I believed that Hoenn's league in Pokémon Ruby was impossible, just yesterday with my Blaziken, Aggron, Flygon, Manectric, Crawdaunt and Tropius I won the league and I remembered when the game was very difficult and my electrike and aron were always weakened . I heard this and I couldn't get more excited.

[@thesnowmander1168]

I never played this game and i wasn’t even born yet but it still gives me nostalgia

[@josmos72]

Today is my birthday and I did not want to celebrate the midnight doing nothing so I listened this theme as the last song of my 19 and the first of my twenties. Luckily midnight struck 0:52, then I closed my eyes and let the track play

[@7GamerMinutes]

Happy Birthday!

[@evelinagarcia6012]

You littarly used a crobat to carry your team

Someone please play this at my funeral..... this and Littleroot town are the only songs to ever make me cry.

Loneliness was put to rest...

Pokémon Ruby my second ever game I owned, after Donkey Kong Country. I never beat it and was too young to remember much, but I got the remake and played that to death. Gen 3 was easily the best with gen 1 being second.
