[@TechnoArpan]

The galar theme just slaps even better with the background crowd cheering. Can't get enough of that

[@aydenmaxwell8759]

Galar: are crowds and howling instruments?

[@josephranzsalonga2796]

​@Brandon Gray, I think ayden's referring to the Patrick Starfish meme, but if you'll ask me crowds really are instruments lol.

[@paige8453]

The Galar Dynamax theme song with the crowd cheering is my personal favorite. I love when it gets into the crowd cheering part and everyone starts chanting and you can hear the whistles. It’s so good and always gets me hyped

[@chat124]

Rip to the gen 5 leader last Pokémon theme

[@legoregice5604]

thats literally the best part

[@thesirensystem]

this is the comment I was looking for

[@CherryblossomFoxx]

it doesnt help that the youtuber doesn't interact with comments too

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

For all of you may not know about Black 2 White 2 PWT Tournament final round battle theme is about, its theme is literally PWT’s Gen 5 Gym Leader’s last Pokémon Battle theme 🤗 Because it’s make sense. Last PWT round = Last Gym Leader’s Pokémon

[@MaxWelton]

Pokémon’s main theme is overrated

[@paanazmi8062]

galar gym theme slaps hard. that cheering part too,so epic

[@nickwatic]

I really prefer the GSC and RSE versions of the gym leader themes better. Those gbc and gba soundfonts were going in

[@Wesker1984]

What makes Sword/Shield Gym Leader Battle Theme even better is those times when you're picking Pokémon and it's just playing a softened down version with a heartbeat. The track is dynamic based on the action in the battle. Great work they did on that one.

[@sinnohperson8813]

Gen 1 to 8, all gym leader theme have been great. This is a hard one

[@gigifabulous]

AND NOW ONTO THE POKEMON MASTERS VERSIONS! Also I think Unova, Galar and Piers are my favorites here

[@gigifabulous]

Actually lemme just make my list here: 1. Galar 2. Piers 3. Unova 4. Johto 5. Sinnoh 6. Alola 7. Hoenn 8. Kanto 9. Kalos

[@MettatexYT]

The Hoenn Gym Battle theme from Pokémon XD or Colosseum (forgot which one w) unironically slaps so incredibly hard, its kinda nutty

[@Destroyanor]

I know Galar is supposed to be based off England. But God damn the fans chanting to the theme is such a top tier addition. Love that part

[@amethystdawn568]

I don’t mind ORAS’s version of their gym themes but it takes a lot of the musical climax that the originals had

[@Hamantha]

Shout out to HGSS’s gym leader theme for making xylophones intimidating

[@ms.magenta]

Gen 6 may have been lacking in several departments, but they delivered on the music category for sure.

[@josiahferrell5022]

Gen 1 is genuinely stunning...but not any of the updated versions. Only the original. Something about the way it hits with the Gameboy's limited sound chip is the way it is supposed to sound. I think my favorite is still Gen 6, though.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Yeah for the Gen 1 theme, it's hard to go past the original. As for my favourite, Gens 3 and 4 make me feel emotional and nostalgic and I love them, they slap. As for which I think is Objectively the best, I think it belongs to Gen 5, it just goes so hard.

[@MaxWelton]

2:00 you’re ILEXEmily. We already knew

[@weikoonng]

Your little peace ✌🏻 at the end of the video tho 😂❤ Extra: Also, I love how Emily has so many Gen husbands in Pokémon? First Steven, then N. *THEN* Grimsley, last but not least Piers. I’m a bit too busy worrying about their relationship tho even though that doesn’t really matter. 😂

[@TSLsmokey]

If you haven't heard it yet, I would also recommend listening to Pokemon Stadium's rendition of the gym leader theme. because they went HARD with it.

[@NinjaPickle]

Unova Gym Leader theme slaps, but it goes to S tier as soon as the "Final Pokemon" theme plays. That's probably some of the hypest music in the series

[@nikolajkirkrn3737]

Great video! I would love to hear you rank all of the Trainer Battle themes, as they are one of my favorite categories in the games :)

[@FrostyLosty]

Uhhh do you know how many battle themes there are??? I’d have to guess at least 200.

[@cjtrahey4195]

I think you’ll enjoy reacting to trainer themes from Pokémon Masters since they’re insanely well-made across everywhere

[@cjtrahey4195]

Fun fact: the vast majority of the elite four members across all gens have their own e4 music

[@kayden2119]

Have you ever considered reacting/ranking soundtracks from games you have not played? I think it would be interesting to see someones thoughts on games like xenoblade, zelda or fire emblem and compare them to pokemon.

[@catalyst539]

Piers is too underrated, he’s amazing, best gym leader alongside Marnie, his sister

[@IlexEmily]

FACT FACT FACT FACT FACT!!

[@LtDarkWing]

The Kahuna battle theme is based of the Trial theme. Sorta like how Emerald Frontier Brain theme is based off of the Battle Frontier theme. Looking it from that perspective, I personally rate the Kahuna higher.

[@briangruenewald7536]

9:55 Hello! My name is Emily, and I’ll be your freestyle dance teacher 😂😂😂

[@Spriggan2701]

I like the original Theme from Diamond, Pearl and Platinum much more than the Remake. I think it would even crack up to S Rank

[@Cursed394]

The first changing of a rank part way through the video 😲 I knew it would happen at some point, too much good music in Pokemon that sometimes you have to be harsh and only top the cream of the crop

[@MezaN69]

Johto gym leader feels so threatening and dark compared to others.

[@Kayllister291]

Why do I have this feeling that piers is gonna be the one in S-tier

[@TheRealLilyOfTheValley]

Oh man I haven't watched you in so long. Glad to be back. Also based music tastes

[@juneroughs]

If there's something that the later gens get, it's the gym battle music... easily top 3 for those... these later gens did made their gym battle music unique over the first gens that are almost same-ish.

[@davilopes5925]

Kalos' theme is what's up!

[@yasq1482]

Gen 2 kanto slaps but it isn't here...? That frantic energy at the start always makes me pumped up

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

Wait a minute...You didn't put in the GSC Kanto Gym Leader music in the tier list? But that's a punishable offence under international law!

[@thebaron2277]

It's the second best theme in the game (after red's of course)

[@Pixel1lol672]

I agree with most of these except for the kahuna theme, i really enjoyed that one and X & Y’s gym leader theme-

[@cloud101787]

It's your ranking list, you do you and screw anyone else's opinion lol. I'm into metal as my preferred music genre, so I dig his theme too. I'm also old and was with the series since the beginning with my giant cinder block GB and Pokemon blue since grade school. I'm not a quite a gen 1 purest, though I think it does have the best music overall with a few exceptions. I fully agree with your list. That Galar gym theme is top tier though and makes me hyped every time.

[@nurventilatoren]

The Gen 5 versions of the gym leader themes (Gen 1 to 4) still remain the best. That's just a fact.

[@shadowstrangler1]

The pokemon stadium version of Gen 1 is godlike

[@thomasdudley2475]

Can you do a victory road teir list for the main line games.

[@bunb5728]

Gen 6 sounds like Pokémon Go

[@luckytia9076]

Putting X/Y Gym ost over gen 3 and 4 should be considered a crime against humanity

[@JSh-xt8bd]

Unova to this day has the best gym theme.

[@Thelegendaryredlegend]

My first pokemon game was Sword and Shield and I thought every pokemon game Gym Leader theme was like this but after playing after games I was Disappointed

[@MrAlpaca19]

1. Gen 8 2. Gen 7 3. Gen 1 4. Gen 6 5. Gen 5 6. Gen 4 7. Gen 9 8. Gen 2 9. Gen 3

[@ChilLaxMon]

This list is pretty accurate 😳

[@HackerMan1010]

How about victory road themes ? Or leag themes ?, great vid.

[@kyleedmondson6534]

for Kanto gym theme, think personally, its good in LG E&P but its better in HGSS

[@AfreenSabah]

I mean, me personally, it's not even a competition. pierce and then the gen 8 theme for me. Maybe I have a bias. But eh, the world is a bias. Idk what that means. Tho, underrated, I'd put gen 7 around 3-4 on my list.

[@christyrobinson6634]

You should rank the wild themes next! (If your in the mood to do that).

[@stormingisraphel]

What do y'all think the gym theme in Scarlet/Violet is gonna be like?

[@Gfreak250]

Indigo League Anime is the best version, It's not from the games but it's so good.

[@ianbenjiman]

I wouldn't hold it against you if you picked Piers' theme. Honestly it's awesome, and so is he. Piers is even cooler in the anime.

[@Neo-Metal17]

I gotta say DPP is my favorite but Galar might be the best.

[@turtwig6779]

9:25 she just like me fr fr 😂🎉

[@Luigithesnowman]

I kinda wanna have you take a listen to the elite four theme from pokemon master ex. All of the elite 4 members have their own theme its great. Gen 5 in my opinion has the better themes from this group

[@danieldiago897]

Piers is too cool to have the same theme

[@yogainstructor4437]

The galar theme is really good, but I cant stand the cheering

[@Wizard_Lizard_]

Phase 1 is one of the best themes in Pokémon. You cannot change my mind.

[@Reddragon802]

And gen 3 remains underlooked at. Im sorry, Gen 3 is absolutely S Tier as well as Gen 4. The list is very disabreeable. Lol but what would it be without disagreements.

[@oliveryamel8897]

Piers definitely deserved the S for me

[@mttic55]

I respectfully disagree with you on Gen 4 gym leader theme. I just think out of all of them, that Gen 4's slaps the most

[@tvduvel]

you should've gone with the original soundtracks, not the most updates ones

[@trengaming745]

Oh cmon not gonna listen to the final Pokémon theme from Gen 5?

[@jamestansil87]

For me S rank is kanto, johto, hoenn

[@chiepog6215]

BW2 are really good play BW and use memory link and the story

[@N0rth_Star]

No way she put bw2 under disgusting gen 1

[@DoesRocksFloat]

Gen 4 gym and e4 share themes which sucks.

[@pikachus0358]

I AM SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED also can you maybe react to the pokemon masters ex legendary themes?

[@jean-pierrebenzenique]

I think Kahuna theme doesn’t really deserve spot here since it’s not a Gym Leader technically, we have an original Gym Leader in Alola, located in the 3rd Island, but I forgot if that gym had its own theme or not

[@ssbgogeta9801]

Why put Gym 2 in B it deserving A

[@joeguy6583]

You should react to zinnias pokemon Masters ost

[@SilentHotdog28]

I think Gens 1-6 and 8 all slap. 7 is dogshit. The best is Gen 5 (either B/W or B/W 2) My favourite is Gen 4.

[@ScrewTikTok]

Pierre's theme sounds too messy to me.

[@DarknessIsThePath]

Gen 3 for me

[@nathancampbell9778]

imo I don't get the hype about gen 8 theme

[@Cursed394]

[@fothorso]

No hgss kanto :^((((

[@saricubra2867]

BDSP ruined the Gym Battle. Sounds way worse than the anime.

[@user-ta5mpmgw42]

ホント最後まで聞かないな😅
