MUSICIAN RANKS POKEMON ELITE FOUR THEMES!

[@Mia-yx5gf]

I think the Gen 5 E4 theme is unbeaten. Also one of the only elite four that had a different name, the four Heavenly Kings. Like how badass is that?!

[@monke4856]

Gen 5 Elite four theme is meant to bring terror to the hearts of trainers. Obviously the best E4 theme

Gen5's gen 4 beat is too loud, it also reminds me of that video with a guy throwing a brick inside a dryer. It kinda has a clothe washer spin beat when I think about it.

[@AfreenSabah]

Gen 7 goes haaaard in the intro. And then the build up. Freaky good. Always loved gen 5&7 music.

[@Robertz702]

Gen 5 and 7 E4 themes were always bangers for me so I agree with this.

[@SMCwasTaken]

Gen 3 joined the chat

[@weikoonng]

Gen 3 is indeed epic. ❤❤❤

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

So.. Gen 1 Elite Four theme has the same kind of intensity vibe as Gen 5’s, but Gen 1’s gives the feeling that there’s a time to let you shine in front of the Elite Four. Whereas Gen 5’s doesn’t even give a damn to set out friendly fire even tho they 4 feels friendly to you. ❤ Gen 3’s mainly focuses on epic battle. Not as exactly as Ash-epic-vibes-from-anime, but it’s the perfect theme for you after what you have done dealing with one of the most enormous god monsters that create the world and crazy villain bosses.

[@kazifaz]

Gamfreak: how many beatdrops do you want? Gen 5: *yes*

[@Cursed394]

"I've never put something in D tier, i've never not enjoyed anything" ... me having seen the final list on next weeks video

[@spiderdude2099]

Sun and moon had an EXTREMELY unique and interesting one. It has REALLY grown on me.

[@blue_the_boy_kisser]

I will say, this is a very underrated series. Sure, it is just a tier list sort of series. Still, with you being a musician, it's nice to see how you go in depth about things, but not so in depth that you lose the average viewers who watch these. Love it 😁👌

[@IlexEmily]

Thank you so much for the kind words! That’s really made my day ☺️💜

[@TheAbsol7448]

That little nod to the Gen 3 E4 theme in the Gen 5 E4 theme made me stop for a moment when I first heard it. It's _so GOOD._

[@N0rth_Star]

If we ever get a Western us region or latin latin america inpired region, it should reference thr unova elite 4 theme since they'd be on the same continet in the pokemon world. Alaowe need more native american stuff and portrayed accurate

[@undefinederror5306]

I think Gen 5 is a remix of Gen 4 as well

[@Visiorex]

Gen V's elite four theme literally had no business bopping that hard. I have ingrained nostalgia for the Gen III soundtrack, but the more I listen to the OSTs for each Gen (VII and earlier) the more I realize Gen V on average outperforms their counterparts. Sure there are moments where other Gens shine (like Cynthia's Champion Theme), but for the most part Gen V really did get excellent music.

[@no0btu63rscorner]

I remember fighting the e4 in gen 5 and getting shivers immediately. Such a good tune!

[@nabilelhageali4068]

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! I’ve been obsessed with the gen 5 E4 theme recently.

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

You might haven’t meet the devil behind the scene yet.. *Black and White remake*

[@MrPantophobiac]

i think you'll really enjoy the pokemon masters versions of these! they did unique, personalized remixes of the e4 theme for every individual elite 4 member and they go hard. currently every region except kalos and galar have gotten this treatment. there's 4 different unova ones and 5 alola ones, they're all so good

[@amare2014]

imo the gen 3 rendition of hoenn e4 theme was better than the remakes.

[@AfreenSabah]

For me, personally. I'm stuck between gen 5&7. So either of these two are fair game. So yeh. Gen5 is solid.

[@wolf-16_Adept]

My favorite had to be gen 2 because that's the one I grew up with and gen 5 because it slaps 5:02 side note gen4's e4 is shared with the gym leaders so that's why it's kinda lackluster imo

[@n00bmaster13]

i have to comment this but i can’t tell you how many times i’ve replayed this video because of how genuine you react and how well you respond to these themes. also as a gen 5 stan it’s very satisfying seeing unova take the win. can’t stress enough about how good your videos are. keep it up and i can’t wait to see more!!! :D

[@quintonclothier6171]

Gen 3, especially the original with the trumpets, will always have a special place in my heart, but for sheer intensity, well, everyone else here has already voiced their opinions on 5 and 7, but 6 is also up there for me.

[@SMCwasTaken]

Gen 3 has the best music but Gen 5 are the best games overrall

[@imbored1179]

Gen 3 and 7 are the best for me with 5 close behind.

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

But there is one mystery I can’t figure it out to solve yet. How Gen 5 Elite four theme music which is so good in banging out the devilish intense vibe, twisted from Gen 4 which has the silent intense theme for their Elite four?

[@Demitrius-jj9qj]

ORAS's elite 4 theme was a banger when i first heard it

[@Josegomez-md5qs]

I'm really disappointed that gamefreak didn't give gen 4 a separate elite 4 theme like why I don't understand. Gen 3 had a separate elite 4 theme from the gym leaders so why would they not do the same for gen 4?

[@horace7346]

Found you because of your Pokémon Masters EX rival theme video. Love your videos so far!

[@IlexEmily]

Thanks so much! 💜

[@weikoonng]

Welcome to Emily’s videos stream

[@sinnohperson8813]

New subscriber!!! If you love pokemon, you are a great soul... if you love pokemon music you are divine :) Also you gotta do more masters ex reaction. They are killing out there

[@IlexEmily]

Aww thank you so much!! I’ve had a lot of people suggest to listen to more Masters EX music so I definitely think I will! Xo

[@GorgeousGirlGenius]

Thank you for this video! Been wanting a musician to react and rate Elite 4 themes is something I wanted to watch for a long time!

[@weikoonng]

I would like to say the part of you reacting to Black and White Elite Four Theme should be the most replayed theme, especially your reaction

[@yogainstructor4437]

Wondering why gen 1 doesnt use the lets go theme? Isnt that the most current version

[@MagnezoneSH]

"It’ll be the most updated versions" **Proceed to ignore Let’s Go**

[@RiaPanPan]

I think that's for the best.

[@Theofficialzaph]

Gen 5 & 7: D I E

[@groudonvert7286]

You should ave listen to BDSP version, it's much more different than the DPP version (who's too similar to the Gym Leader theme).

[@AfreenSabah]

Yeah. gen 8's E4 theme kinda falls short. Specially compared to the part 2 of Marney and Hop.

[@itsnotpan.]

Ahh yeaahhh you actually did it Gen 5 theme gave me goosebumps

[@curtiss7080]

Gen 1 & 2 will forever be classics

[@ichidonozomi39]

I love how excited you were at pretty much every theme! As a musician myself (I play violin and piano), i agree with pretty much all of your opinions!

[@ichidonozomi39]

Also, how you second guessed your opinion on Gen 6 (X/Y) was kinda funny. 😅 It was like: “Into B-tier because-“ *Theme intensifies* “Hold on… NOW I CAN’T DECIDE B OR A”

[@robertm1704]

For gen4 you need the champions theme cynthias is a certified bop

[@ms.magenta]

It feels unfair for the DPPt Elite 4 theme to be compared to the other games, especially considering BDSP actually turned it into an Elite 4 Theme and not just a pitched down Gym Theme

[@JCM_Danny]

IlexEmily, could you please react/rank to more Masters Ex music, I loved your reaction to the champions music and would love to hear your opinion on others

[@swayitocarl]

Gen 5 Elite 5 is an absolute SMASH, BOP, BANGER, SLAPS, every word in the book to emphasis how absurdly good it is at giving high octane energy

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

G6 was really good in the remix

[@naeshaunedwards7731]

First of great tier list. Second of all, not sure if you would ever do it, but have you ever thought about ranking any other series themes? Something tells me that you would love the Fire Emblem Series soundtrack, especially Three Houses, and Fates.

[@zodiac2861]

Gen 4 elite four is ranked C?? U KIDDING ME?! lol am just playin, gen 4 elite four kinda sucks ngl

[@Tenisinspector8341]

It sucks only because they just lazily reused the gym leader theme for the e4

[@MezaN69]

Gen 2 and 7, Alola ost is really underrated.

[@zeldriskazama5214]

These are so good!

[@enanan4]

i personally agree with you completely, Unova's elite four theme is just so good.

[@del1830]

That was Sick Em 😊 x

[@TheAbsol7448]

Man, to be totally honest, I don't think the ORAS E4 theme stacks up to the original. I feel like the opening isn't high pitch enough. They also _removed the claps._

[@TheHaloko]

You should the champion themes ranking

[@yeah9000]

Do u have a plan to react to poke master ost again? Great video btw 👍🏼

[@ritwiksrivastava4606]

Gen 5 is really good. U can do title screen theme

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

I will give it to Platinum/Diamond/Pearl for at least changing the key signature to add a subtle difference between the Elite Four and the Gym Leaders. Fire Red/Leaf Green and Heart Gold/Soul Silver just have the same themes for both of their Gym Leaders and Elite Four. The Black and White/B2 and W2 Elite Four theme is very good, and iconic, but I actually really enjoyed the Sun and Moon/US and UM Elite Four theme. :)

[@Gfreak250]

Ok, I was gonna make a comment about how Gen 4 goes the hardest out of all of them. Then Gen 2 and 3 just slap like that? I need to get the HG/SS soundtrack. On a related note, Gen 4's bass is amazing. But the bass in the Pixies' battle theme is the best.

[@tomasgarcia2226]

I totally agreed 🤙 Greetings for Argentina! ♥️

[@tomasgarcia2226]

I personally listen almost every day the theme from gen 5

[@IlexEmily]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching all the way from Argentina! 😁

[@tomasgarcia2226]

@@IlexEmily Is a pleasure! 😊👍

[@CrocoDylianVT]

in gens 1 and 2 the elite 4 shared theme with the gym leaders

[@calsalitra4689]

Makes sense that the E4 theme isn't as exciting as the others, since DP doesn't actually have a dedicated E4 theme, they just reuse the gym leader theme instead.

[@TooMuchGamba]

You should check out the Smash Ultimate remix of Sun and Moon's elite four theme, it mixes it with Solgaleo and Lunala's theme and makes it even better!

[@deltasrage97yt]

ORAS Version Deffo S tier for me! One of my favourite E4 battle themes of ALL TIME Swap ORAS to S Tier and B2/W2 to B Tier

[@Beatlesfan19977]

I think the Gen 5 theme is my favorite too

[@teddy_scott36]

Gen 5 is the best elite 4 exclusive track and HGSS has the best one that is a remix of the gym theme

[@shatteredsentient5321]

Gen 6 is a bop

[@ZaiexVASMR]

Honsetly the Gen3... Should've used the original one from GBA. I love the mix or revival or whatever for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but I wish they included at least the originals.

[@Mr_Winster]

Gens 1, 2, and 4 were just copies of the Gym Leader themes. Gens 3 and 5 were unique, so I liked them more.

[@gabrieltorres6633]

Gen 3 had different pokemon battle, gym, elite 4 themes.

[@lmpendingdooom2265]

no shade intended but mic volume is slightly too high in relation to music volume, even if focus on your voice is intended

[@Dragon-te2ji]

gen 4is by far most meaningful and badass

[@FizzleIsGaming]

gen 3 og is better than the oras remake

[@Cursed394]

[@historyking9984]

For me gen 3 always had the best theme song for the elite four. With gen four being a close second. I disagree with black and white 2 it’s just not good for me as an elite four theme

[@litaf4889]

W

[@MultiAsh93]

It’s honestly so unfortunate that you didn’t use Gen 3 original because the originals are so much more better than the remakes and originals are instant S tier for me

[@marvinpc5571]

Gen 4 don't have to make you excited. Just pressed. 😂😂

[@mannymorgan8075]

Based on your picks…. You just gained a subscriber

[@IlexEmily]

Good taste 😎

[@AfreenSabah]

Idk why, for me, gen 6 kinda just goes - hmm.

[@lycanroctube5946]

Even though BDSP was kind of garbo the theme revamps were really good.

[@KHfan0011]

Putting Gen 3 in B is a death sentence

[@rogeroxford3554]

I totally agree with her list 💯👍🏿

[@dalV_Studio]

Gens 3, 5 and 7 rock

[@wubbers662]

Gen 3 is the best for me, but ORAS blows, the original is the best

[@Reddragon802]

Yeah i definetly dont understand what you mean by it doesnt excite you. The disrespect to gen 3 and 4 is incredible. They are all great themes but man. 😅...

[@jordywoody14]

Gen 3 and 5 are the best

[@ShiroKage009]

Gen 3 is god tier.

[@wanxinchong8186]

Do gym leader

[@desmondshepard3823]

Unova rules

[@shisuna4030]

the remastered versions are all worse

Wow, you’re so edgy!
