Gym Leader Battle - Pokémon Sword & Shield | Cover by FamilyJules

[@FamilyJules7X]

This was a lot of fun but quite a challenge with the original melody lines of the game. I was afraid it might sound weird since it was originally essentially an electro rave feel, but I like how it turned out! Hope you enjoy it too! Tabs for this are available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon! Thanks for the support! 😊

[@WilliamTheWatchful]

I seriously got teary-eyed at the Megamaxing segment.

[@FamilyJules7X]

[@monstermilk6092]

@@FamilyJules7X If there was one part of this song I wanted to see you do, it was definitely the Megamaxing segment. The sound of the crowd cheering with the song is the most impactful part, especially when you're listening to it through headphones and it really starts to fill your ears. Needless to say, you did it justice, 100%.

[@dreddbolt]

Electro rave actually translates very well to metal, it just needs some tweaks sometimes. Sometimes not even that.

[@DeepShadedGlassesGuy]

Hey man this was REALLY GOOD! Got me super hyped up!!🔥🔥(legit i put it in my jams playlist within SECONDS) I wanted to ask if I can use this song for a convention video I'm planning to do I didn't wanna assume I could. If you'd rather I didn't I won't but I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! Again great job with this🤩!

[@tdimensional6733]

Honestly, I find it stunning there isn't an Electric-type Gym Leader named Joules yet.

[@darkrighteous64]

it would make sense. a joule is a form of energy.

I think they will add a gym leader for all types

[@orange9107]

I literally squealed with joy when I heard the chanting section, so many covers just haven’t included it for some reason!

[@CelestialAmethyst92]

I personally found the chanting to be really annoying.. The first part of the theme is dope, the middle part is great too, but at the end of it when the crowd start to sing the theme it just gets annoying.

[@HappyPotat]

@@CelestialAmethyst92 The chanting is the best part. Nothing is more hype about the gym battles than the crowd just hyping the whole thing up and having the time of their lives.

[@RyujiRoyalSkull]

The chanting ruins the song.

[@angelarzola2438]

@@RyujiRoyalSkull chanting makes it more hype It kinda reminded me of the dragon ball super broly movie when the "hype guy" in the song says things like "SAYAIN POWAAAAH" or "CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER" Or even the mortal kombat theme song They make songs better

[@mexchaos6666]

Thank u, Mr. fish

[@louisstout9952]

Mr. Fish deserves no honor. There is no room in my imagination for that monstrosity

[@homuraakemi103]

Pokemon gym theme genre over the years : gen 1, 2 and 3 - more or less like basic music Gen 4 - started to get more varied, more developed Gen 5 and 6 - personallity is clearly implemented in each gym ( gen 5 be better tho) gen 7- getting more funky Gen 8 - R A V E

This is easily the best cover of the tune I've heard. Your willingness to use synths and get creative with the arrangement really took it to the next level. And let's face it: cover or not this theme is not the same without those cheers. I can practically imagine you in the stadium playing this over the battle.

[@idaremochan]

It really isn’t the same without the cheering. I love that part specifically lol

[@magnadongalo5067]

1:34 Not bad. You're shredding my team. Unfortunately, my metallic soul will slap back! LET'S GO THROUGH THE FIRE AND FLAMES, CORVIKNIGHT! GIGANTAMAX! Hear the amplified voices of the crowd? Let's amplify our own power, shall we? G-Max Wind Rage!

Every time I find a cover of this song, I always hope it has the cheering (or something equivalent). So glad to not be disappointed this time.

[@HoneyPastry]

My favorite in the entire game - I actually loved the gym battles and hearing the crowd cheering us on.

[@racer_x4449]

I always thought the crowd, seeing the gym leader down to their last and best pokemon, is cheering the gym leader on. Hometown hero style. You're just some kid from out of town.

[@HoneyPastry]

@@racer_x4449 Also a good point I guess lol

[@kylegaymer]

This is by far my favorite gym leader battle theme. The music feels energetic like you know that you are about to get into a serious battle, the final part when down to the last Pokémon is the highlight when it’s all or nothing with the crowd cheering. Definitely the best gym leader theme with X/Y being an honorable mention

[@madmattmaniaman]

1:34 Alright Toxitricity, Gigantimax!!

[@banditbro25]

I feel like if he was a Gym leader on his last leg he'd say, "Amazing, you're shreading my team. Unfortunately for you my partner will be the bassline for my victory. TOXTRICITY, GIGANTAMAX!

[@Seabass20329]

That Majesty has never looked as good as it does in this lighting, wow. Also love that you kept the original melody lines, such a weird shift in the middle there but you made it work!

[@aluke6616]

When I first heard this in-game, I was 50/50 on it. Thanks to FamilyJules it's now my literal favourite BGM for any Pokémon game. Never stop shredding man!

[@TeddyBarefoot]

I have heard versions by other people, but this one certainly has a depth of character.

[@Leafeon64]

i love how ur shirt most of the time is related to what ur playing

[@scottcollins7198]

Man this piece really shows off some arrangement CHOPS. I was especially impressed by how the riff in the second half turned out. And of course I'm always here for the "WooOOOooOaaahhh"s

[@seankkg]

Finally a cover that uses all three segments instead of just the first. Thanks Jules.

[@sweetthief1339]

I never heard this cover until last night when attending Thrown Controllers at the Hard Rock Cafe last night but it’s definitely going to be one that gets stuck in my head. It was an excellent performance and I really enjoyed how you had the audience cheer along! It was a blast!

[@LaceyJohnsonMusic]

He remixed this one into an electric one after all. it slightly lost the "soccer kick" at the reff the original was famous for, but he compensated with side noises which saves it pretty well. And yes, that cover of the cheers is also perfect. Thanks!
