They're probably making it. Underground items are inside Sword and Shield's code for seemingly no reason. Since Game Freak shares codebases between their projects, this is a *very* strong sign they are already developing it.

The sad thing is, Game Freak would never be able to do the soundtrack justice as well as Carlos does. Just look at Let's Go and ORAS. Admittedly the ORAS soundtrack was okay, but could've done so much more. I feel like that'll also be the fate of the Sinnoh remakes.

Sinnoh remakes would be epic if done correctly. All I can ask for is decent graphics really.

I've seen a lot of unique integrations into different jazz arrangements. Whenever I see your videos and videos like them, I'm often discovering new instruments and percussive things you can use to make noises that I've come to learn work better than any possible substitute. However, I'm not sure whether to call it impressive, unique, ambitions, or just straight up crazy when you decided to be the first ever jazz musician incorporate the cries of wild, untamed baboons into your song at 4:05 . I've seen you do a lot of special things for the songs you make but the domestication of wild animals for the sake of music is a level of dedication and creativity I have never seen before. Truely the most innovative musician of our time ladies and gents get this man an award.

I think it's a nice breather to appreciate everything we've just heard.. And then at 4:42 that bass slide 😍😍 then 4:43 I'm straight in New Orleans and I'm just LOVING IT. I feel like this should be for a marching band with some cheerleaders... Just fantastic! 🥹🥹 Seriously.... Well done. 😍😍😍
