MUSICIAN RANKS POKEMON MASTERS EX ELITE FOUR THEMES PART 1

[@IlexEmily]

“Where’s Will? Is he the one with the glasses?” Clearly that’s a mask, Emily…. Don’t judge me 😭

[@clemente3966]

Slightly judging you because he's one of my personal favorite E4 characters, and not only because I have the same name as his French name, if that's ok.

[@Hamantha]

How about we do anyway

"There's no way Koga has a good theme"

[@IlexEmily]

I didn’t know about how Patterrz reacted to Koga until after I recorded this and honestly I’m glad that I went in blind! WHAT A BANGER

[@silverashrpg0378]

@@IlexEmily I know right!? Honestly love his the most out of all the Johto Elite Four Members (But that might just be my ninja bias showing ngl haha). Nice stuff by the way! Your reactions made me laugh because I'd probably be in your shoes too judging all these XD

*Koga starts playing that flute* Patterrz: "There's no way Koga has a good theme." Emily: "OOOMGGGGGGGGG!"

[@SamuelTheAdept]

Koga’s theme is famous for a certain poketuber saying “There’s no way Koga has a good theme.” And then gets absolutely blasted by the banger! Looking forward to part 2

Patterz moment

[@Nero5071]

Curious fact: Phoebe's theme has a part in which appears a trumpet solo, that refers to Hoenn (and 3rd generation) itself... But also represents the Phoebe's Sync move called The Lonely Flower Shadow Punch... AND THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

[@Hamantha]

Trumpet or French horn?

[@Doga717]

Emily: "Nothing's gonna go below B." Aaron: "Oh, I C."

[@georgspielberger9780]

Especially she said that right before Aaron's theme😄

[@Plotpurotto]

While sidney looks intimidating, he is actually a pretty outright Nice dude in the pokemon series. In the pokemon manga he used to be a former rockstar iirc and his theme being heavy rock fits for him so good. Fun fact about drake, his design was never once changed in the remakes for pokemon oras, his design was just perfection alongside with Phoebe and his elite four Remix being heavy Sailor themed fits for him so well because of his design alone.

[@georgspielberger9780]

His morals and premise are that he just wants to enjoy Pokemon battles but still being quite respectful like Karen

[@Cursed394]

These videos have really.made me appreciate characters ive previously not really cared about Sidneys theme slaps! Love it!

Elite four members need to be given more love honestly

People don't appreciate the pokemon masters remixes enough. they do actually never miss.

[@catalyst539]

except regular steven

[@AzelfStan]

Here, a suggestion: The themes are designed to loop quite quickly, as battles in Masters aren't very long. How about you let every song loop once instead of just letting it play for one minute? I feel like your rating will be way clearer this way!

[@IlexEmily]

I seriously enjoy what I hear so much so I’d really love to listen to it all but I don’t want the videos to get too long cause that can hurt the channel 😭 I’m trying my best to listen to as much as I can to get a feel for the theme though! Sorry if I’ve upset people xo

[@luisfillipebeserra2108]

@@IlexEmily oh I am not throwing shade at you or the video at all, i really love the content you put out! But every track really takes about 1:10-1:20 to loop and some transitions into the loop are really really well done and skipping them made me look a bit like "🙁😞😔" you know? 😅

Glad to see more people reacting to Masters music :) A couple motifs u have missed: 1. All sinnoh e4 starts with their encounter theme 2. 20:54 is the Johto Dark Cave theme Also u missed an epic part in Flint's theme ( ͡; ͜ʖ ͡;) Like some people have said, give each song a full loop (usually ~70s) before stopping

[@jamesnino5212]

Wow nice to see you here

[@Upsedriss]

yeah fully agree on the full loop ngl.

[@IlexEmily]

Hey! Thanks for the extra info 😁 I don’t set up these videos for myself just to make sure I avoid spoiling myself before I record, which normally means I go in completely blind to whatever it is I’m actually ranking 😂 but I’ll see if I can improve on making sure to get the extra details in the future! I’ve also just mentioned on another comment but the reason I don’t let them loop is because I’ve experienced videos getting pushed less because of how long they get so I try to keep these as short as I can without hurting the experience of listening to it too much, hopefully you all understand xo

[@catalyst539]

oh wasn’t expecting a cameo from kailux here

[@Suezcronos]

Aha a wild Kailux appear

[@blivveries]

Hoenn's Elite Four theme was already too good, it's not really fair is it Also, for reference, pretty much every battle theme in Masters loops around 1:10, no later than 1:20.

[@hankpeterschmidt8626]

Drake had my favorite theme of the Hoenn e4.

[@punitkumar9911]

Been waiting for these for so long. It's definitely hard to rank these themes, they are all so unique yet bangers of the same version. And.... You're gonna be starting with Shauntal next time, Banger alert in advance

[@catalyst539]

Shauntal is the best ghost E4 theme

[@Keyteck120]

I'm personally a big Aaron fan so I got a little bit disappointed he started with the c tier. 😂 (his music sounds a little like bug buzzes) But I can respect that not everyone's so found of the sinnoh battle themes. Can't wait for part 2 and especially grimsley and shauntal!

[@IlexEmily]

I recorded both parts back to back and let me tell you… I wasn’t ready for Grimsley and Shauntal 😂

[@paperluigi6132]

This is something I wish the mainline games did; give each Elite Four member their own theme

[@ashwalker1]

They now have in-game music player. Btw loved your reaction hope you'll do more in future to this game 🙂

[@IlexEmily]

Oh so you can listen to themes within the actual game now? That’s so cool! And yeah I’ve still got more videos from this game lined up for the future 😁

[@horace7346]

You do have to pay special music coins but you get them from daily challenges and they don’t cost a huge amount.

[@blackglurakx2409]

I am soooo happy this came so fast. Very cool. Also you know what is happening now? It’s now exactly one day ago that Pokemon Masters announced they are doing a voting all around their music. We can currently vote for a song and the ones that get the most votes will get remixes soon plus new track comments are also wanted. OMG this is so cool and you know what’s even better? Ash is now in the game and they remixed an Anime Opening for his battle track (and not lame english ones, the og japanese ones). So there is me now hoping for a Ash version in the future who has Greninja with the XYZ Opening as a remix. Definitely very exiting what they could do in the future. Masters really is the best Pokemon game right now. Nobody can tell me otherwise. Btw now that you listened to all GymLeader, Rival, Team Bosses, Champ and Elite Four Themes there’s just a handful left you could also listen to. Like the Original Characters like Paulo (the Rival), Lear (the second Rival but also kinda bad guy who is also a jerk but evolves and gets nicer… ok hard to explain him🤣). Or Characters who never had a Theme before but Masters gave them one like Lisia, Lilly, Sycamore, Sonia and Looker and people who are a bit external like Zinnia. There’s also the seasonal battle themes like Christmas, Halloween, a Costume party, New Year, Summer, etc. And lastly what they added and one huge wave where remixes of all Wild Battle Themes and all Trainer Battle Themes of all Regions. Bish bash bosh, at least 4 new Video ideas, you can thank me later🙃.

[@DarthNoox]

"I'm ready for Karen to step on me" Relatable

Hi, thanks for doing the part 1 of the series. However, so far you've been listening to the Champion Cup versions of the themes, and you are missing the generic Pokemon Masters EX version of the elite four themes. Do give those a go as well and maybe add those in Part 2!

[@IlexEmily]

I had been made aware of the differences in themes before I recorded and I was gonna do the generic themes but saw that a lot of comments wanted to see the champions cup themes instead. Unfortunately I won’t be able to add them in for part 2 as I recorded both parts back to back. Thank you for the polite comment though I appreciate it so much! Xo

[@roman3mp1r39]

was not disappointed by the sidney reaction LOL

[@itsnotpan.]

Oh I can't wait till you hear the gen 5 elite four themes.

[@CaelanBassett]

all of the themes have loops that are actually a little more than one minute, usually about a minute and 15 seconds to one minute and 30 seconds. You might’ve cut some of them short, but otherwise really good. keep reacting to these!

[@IlexEmily]

Thanks so much! I just have to keep the actual listening brief otherwise the videos get way too long 😅 I still try and listen to enough to get a feel for the theme though! Xo

Emily, I don't think we mind if you put everything in A tier. Especially if the music is a banger. The only thing that will be hard for you is to put something in S tier. 😂

[@Namadu7]

Haruki Yamada is so good. His name must be shouted from the rooftops. ...Assuming Bulbapedia is right about him being the arranger for these, though having heard his work on the obscure DS game "Monster Racers", I'd believe it. Would love for you to hear some of *that* game's music some day! Though the best parts of those tend to be after the 60 second mark, so you might not enjoy them much. :P

Still don't know why they haven't added Drasna or Malva of the Kalos elite four yet But Galar's "elite four" is in the game right now, so maybe they'll be next? (There's four trainers you fight before Leon so they are technically the elite four of Galar, and they are Bede, Nessa, Bea or Allister, and Raihan)

[@clemente3966]

about that comment of not having the Money to get back into masters, you absolutely can get back freely, it would be a bit hard but it's not that difficult now. Plus that there's the third anniversary with Red, Cynthia(available tonight for you I guess) and Ash (available since yesterday), and all the anniversary bonus, with log-in rewards, rewards from some Twitter campaigns... So really, if you want to get back in, now's a good time.

[@chriskoloski32]

Galar doesnt really have an elite 4. Because it's a tournament you fight the gym leaders, your rivals, or random dlc characters

[@MaxBurnHeart]

Yeah, Hoenn themes are generally certified bangers. It's a shame that Sinnoh ones did miss a bit. I have a theory that it may be due to adding Sinnoh Stadium so suddenly. Out of blue, we got three Elite Fours (Only Flint was in the game before that), then immediately Sinnoh Stadium. So maybe that's why their themes don't hit as well as the rest. Could also be the fact that Sinnoh's themes are a bit different from the rest. Like the Cyrus one. The original is very good, but the remixes... doesn't hit as well. Which is kinda a story of the Sinnoh themes. Of course, if they don't belong to Cynthia. Sole exception. Anyway, thanks for this video! Makes me wanna appreciate Pokemon Masters EX music even more. The music is the best thing that game gave us. Oh, by the way- did you listen to their other remixes? Such as Cynthia Renegade theme or Sygna Suit Steven theme (the one with Deoxys)? These are absolutely beautiful. I heavily recommend checking them out!

[@hankpeterschmidt8626]

One thing I can say is that the Hoenn elite 4 themes were the best

[@clemente3966]

So, here's the deal: (Not pressuring or anything, just presenting the situation and running numbers here) I know that it has been mentioned in the comments a few times that you should let the songs loop one time, and then you replied that you didn't want to make the videos too long to be sure they get better results to put it simply. The thing is, the songs loop like, at most after 75 seconds (1 min 15 s), most of them not even after 70s (1min 10s). Going with an average of 70s, you reacted here to 16 different songs, which would amount to an addition of 160 seconds (so 2 min 40 s) which, unless the algorithm is really finnicky and I wouldn't have known it, wouldn't change the results that much. And for lists that have a number of songs even lower, the added time is obviously less long than that. An average of 1 min 15 s per loop would add instead 4 mins. And again, I do not know the details about the algorithm, but I'm fairly certain that the difference between a short and a long video is the known 10 minutes mark. These videos are already seen as long in the eyes of the algorithm (at least in the filters by length), so I doubt that it ultumately will make a difference for the results of the video.

[@benjaminbrock684]

how would you rank the new kalos themes?

[@sephy004]

My top 3: Shauntal, Sidney, Koga

[@maisvousfumez-monsieur6882]

I think its unfair that you are more harsh with some themes then others for exemple you seemed to be enjoying karen theme a lot more than agatha's one but put agatha in A and karen in B solely because you had to be harsher with the music, nonetheless it was a great video,greetings from France
