MUSICIAN RANKS POKEMON MASTERS EX CHAMPION THEMES!

[@CoffeeEmblem]

Masters, after adding the "EX" to the title, has certified bangers most of the time! The champion themes were remixed really well IMO!

[@amare2014]

pokemon mastersex!

[@quintonclothier6171]

@@amare2014 Hence, "bangers"

[@seriesredundancy]

I feel like the "emptiness" of Red's theme fits Red's character more than an orchestra or such would given his personality and the fact that you face him _on a mountain_

[@NathanDavis508]

100%. It’s perfect for him. Just because something doesn’t hit hard immediately all the time doesn’t make it bad. U gotta think about the character and the moment. It’s like if Bianca got a doom eternal type theme. Wouldn’t make sense

[@Namadu7]

Also worth noting that she stopped it about 40 seconds before it finished... and the violin absolutely picks up in energy over those last 40 seconds for a stunning finish. I like me some buildups. :3 Emily less so, maybe, but that's okay!

[@swordsmancs]

@@NathanDavis508 wouldn’t make sense, but it _would_ be hilarious It’s like you hear Rip and Tear starting and turn around to see Isabelle with a chainsaw

[@blue_the_boy_kisser]

I mean to be fair with Kukui, a terrifying theme wouldn't fit him cause he's....yknow....Kukui 😅

[@Chillaccino1]

He’s just a friendly lad

[@christopherfleetwood5252]

I love how he’s got this Grandiose Masked Royal feeling theme when he’s just this big cheeseball, a Masked Royal with Cheese if you will! 😂

[@teddy_scott36]

Besides, I have never thought of the Sun and Moon Champion theme as Kukui’s theme but rather the player’s theme because when you beat Kukui, you become Alola’s first champion and then other characters challenge you using that theme

[@coconut_tv0564]

7:50 I like how she had to mentally prepare herself for Cynthia's theme

[@kaidnickl8541]

The triple theme of Steven/Cynthia/Lance is also an amazing track!

[@JangoMango5]

Hope you do more reacts to masters themes You have got to hear Cynthia’s renegade/ second theme. It goes completely mental

[@catalyst539]

Steven also got a Decisive theme too, it’s way better than his original one

[@silverashrpg0378]

The way she dropped her jaw to Blue's theme murdered me 💀

[@Upsedriss]

you should totally rank the other Masters battle theme remixes. theres cool stuff like some regions having the elite 4 members each have their own remix of that region's elite 4 theme.

[@gigifabulous]

100% agree. The E4 have personalized remixes now. So far we have Kanto, Johto, Unova, Alola, Sinnoh and we just got Hoenn with the latest update.

[@TechnoArpan]

Koga's theme is fire. The flute really draws me in

[@slyoperator7723]

I appreciate how well distinct Lance's & Red's theme are since they previously shared the same theme Lance's theme has a lot of pzaz & is grandious because he is the champion, not to mention a master of dragons so it's like you're fighting in a collosium with a huge audience While Red's theme is more isolated, a softer carry through a violin since your battleground isn't in a stadium, but a top of a mountain with no witness in sight, a very personal 1 v 1

[@GarlyleWilds]

I think the reason I love Iris' remix here so much is the decision to swap the most iconic part - that starry intro - into the big mid battle bridge instead of letting it just be the opener.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Yeah very clever of them

[@weikoonng]

I pretty admire them manage to swap the intro and middle part because they figure it out how it also works well. But not for Emily here 🥲 Sorry Emily

[@Shikafau]

Describing Red's theme as empty couldnt be any more fitting for the character that is supposed to "not talk"

[@Temnxeiz]

Also YES finally someone else who loves Steven's theme from this! I don't know why but I always see people hating on it :( also also, imo Masters version of Leon's theme is the definitive version because you can actually hear it, compared to swsh where its way too drowned out by the chants, also because I just think it sounds good :)

[@sansattorney]

Same, i don't get why everyone hates it so much yeah its very different but it doesn't mean its bad

[@gigifabulous]

So the Red theme has an updated version. It's basically as if the One Year Anniversary one was a WIP

[@gigifabulous]

OH, and btw, Masters, for the first anniversary, did a mashup of Lance, Steven and Cynthia's themes.

[@baddragonite]

I like how Wallace's theme gives off a more elegant vibe along with more bombastic highs. Really reflects his character and the differences between him and Steven who is more reserved and calculating

[@TechnoArpan]

I really freaking loved Wallace's theme. It's really poetic and beautiful, if that makes sense. Suits him very well. This coming from someone who was salty that Wallace replaced Steven as Champion and doesn't care much about him even now Also, Kukui's theme is just so Kukui. Makes me think of like an uncle/older brother figure

[@Keyteck120]

Red got 2 different versions of his theme you've only heard the 1 anniversary one. He's got a normal in game version too. Great reaction btw :)

[@Cursed394]

Kukui's theme actually sounds so fun

[@Chillaccino1]

He’s just a friendly guy

[@AnonDudeBro]

Holy fuck this is my first time listening to any of these themes and I generally think they ALL are a improvement over the originals.

[@AnonDudeBro]

Never mind y’all, just made it to Dianthas and I don’t think it’s quite as good as the originals, it’s S tier but I find myself really missing the punch of the first part of the song, not as fitting for a Champion theme lol.

[@AnonDudeBro]

Dianthas og theme was special because it managed to be terrifying and scary despite it not having a masculine sound. People kind of blow Diantha off but as far as the og versions of their respective games she’s the highest leveled Champion.

[@veenadayma6514]

@@AnonDudeBro Diantha's original track was fire and the S tier track for me besides Cynthia, the latter because how perfectly distressing, terrifying and quivering it sounded for the difficult battle. This Diantha's theme was still great. But I was genuinely disappointed by Iris’ theme. The original sounded better than Ex version.

[@AnonDudeBro]

@@veenadayma6514 It was definitely fire, but i actually find myself disagreeing with you about Iris’s masters theme, I liked the build up to the original beginning of the song.

[@MrPantophobiac]

since you liked steven and cynthia's themes so much, you might be interested to know that they both got a 2nd battle theme in later updates! search decisive battle steven/cynthia for them, they're really good! you also might like the lance/steven/cynthia mashup battle theme

[@kyoko-cj6hv]

I was gonna say, their decisive battle themes are insanely good!

[@teddy_scott36]

What I love about these is that they actually gave Lance and Red as well as Steven and Wallace individual themes

[@SamuelTheAdept]

The masters ost is an underrated masterpiece! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :D these remixes are great

[@gamerdude491]

Blue's theme is one of the top 5 themes in the game probably. It's SICK.

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

Blue is one of the stronger trainers that simp for epic battles and epic musics. *Just for himself* .

[@ailehunter]

You're missing Red, Blue, Green's Triple Remix and the Steven, Lance, Cynthia Triple Remix Theme. :O

[@FlorentiusIV]

Nice! I recommend you check out some more Masters EX themes. Specially the themed Elite 4 ones.. Spoiler: Unova has the best ones.

[@IlexEmily]

Just wait until next weeks video 👀

[@Chillaccino1]

Grimsley them go brrrrrr

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

*Grimsley now flipping coin and order someone play piano for him in the next video* 😂

[@shawnmcnece2368]

I absolutely loved all the themes in this game:)

[@veenadayma6514]

Very often, many themes in Pokémon are accused to build up lately ( like Leon's original theme ) or being too slow ( many Gen 3 themes like Route 113 which sounds even better at 2x ) But Wallace's theme in Masters Ex is just completely opposite; they knew they had to include portions of Gen 3 Champion theme, but, as you said, the Violins sounded so gorgeous! They should have increased the Violin part a bit more and then add Gen 3 Champion theme but that's my opinion. I could easily see this theme being one of the best themes of all time but they threw this opportunity a bit. Still a great track though.

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

You should do all the songs! I'd love for you to hear the Lance, Cynthia, Steven mashup

[@pokestyn]

You forgot two. The triple champion themes of lance cynthia and Steven and red blue and leaf.

[@pokestyn]

Also the wrong red one. That isn’t the in game version of Red’s theme.

[@pokestyn]

Also also you forgot Renegade Cynthia, another Cynthia remix that is reminiscent of another Pokémon song, but I will elaborate if and when you do it.

[@AfreenSabah]

I think the main goal was just the core champion stuff, like, just the 1-1 from the og to their masters one, so just taking the main champion theme and not the other stuff, hence why Renegade Cynthia theme isnt in, and she's heard Renegade Cynthia theme ( we kinda got her to on stream) and if you're curious, her take was " just as good if not better than Volo" and Volo is ranked as on of the highest tier themes.

[@JM-fv3wc]

The triple champion is bonkers! It's not quite as awesome as many of her A tier themes but it's quite good still.

[@amare2014]

@@AfreenSabah which stream?

[@autumnzephyr331]

On Kukui's theme not being "scary" here, there's two reasons for that!: 1) Kukui is genuinely one of the least threatening Champion-level Trainers as a person, so an intimidating track just wouldn't fit him. 2) The original Battle at the Summit! Theme isn't actually Kukui's- it's the player's! What reason do you have to be afraid of yourself? On an unrelated note, I love how all of the actual remixed parts of Wallace's theme feel closer to the original RSE track than their counterparts in Steven's take do. He only has Emerald to work with, after all~

[@gamingyachu]

I really hope you react to more of these masters songs, I love these tracks

[@christopherfleetwood5252]

I absolutely agree with your S Tier, I could definitely see them bringing about an entire dynasty 😂 Steven “The Moistmaker” Stone Vs Cynthia “I’m your Mommy now” Shirona 😂😂😂

[@Haxx07th]

It'd be cool if you'd also react to the johto elite 4 themes, Koga's theme is legendary

[@Chillaccino1]

“There’s no way Koga can have a good theme…”

[@burningshadowxd7633]

​@@Chillaccino1eyyyyy Patterrz reference

[@tinmandw]

I'd be curious to see your thoughts on the rivals and team boss themes from Masters EX.

[@LucinaMarthLowell]

A reminder that kukui is NOT the champion. He is the last challenge. He is the one who made tolled pokemon league and DOESN'T want to be the champion of it. But the last test because YOU will be the first champion

[@DisguisedWolfGaming]

You really need to hear Steven's new theme in Masters EX! He got an alt with Deoxys and his theme is such a banger

[@Temnxeiz]

I'm curious if you'll do an updated version if more remixes come out, because it seems like most of the champions are gonna get a "decisive" battle version since Blue/Red, Cynthia and now Steven all have ones (Battle! Red, Blue & Leaf, Decisive Battle! Renegade Cynthia, and Decisive Battle! Steven respectfully)

[@fothorso]

Blue masters theme appreciation lets gooooo

[@aylencitasq4275]

always a pleasure to watch your reactions haha

You should react to the champion stadium themes, since Hoenn is arriving.

[@franchisesandseries2801]

Listen to more masters music

[@leandroroman7053]

[@Wren40]

Cynthia's theme is terror itself, buuuuur.. its beautiful though, even if it gave me nightmares. I can not express how many times i'v lost to this girl, dang Garchomp.

[@AzelfStan]

Ahem _Where Steven Cynthia Lance theme_

[@AceBountyHunterRex]

Personally while i do enjoy both Steven and Cynthia's master themes i find the originally better overall none the less. But they're good regardless.

[@enanan4]

my personal favourites are Hau and Wallace, but all of them are great tbh

[@kyoko-cj6hv]

LMAO when you start Cynthia’s you say “I’m scared.” As you should be! 😂😂 Otherwise I’m so glad Steven and Wallace got different remixes, they’re both champions in their own right and the music suits them well! I’m not a huge fan of Steven’s but the battle decisive one hits the spot.

[@Urd-Vidan]

Love that Red just seems to be here. I know that he becomes champion after Blue, but that's probably a day or two then he just bails. Also, other player characters don't get the Champion theme treatment.

[@catalyst539]

Calem and Serena just got a Champion theme tho

[@MorrisPXG]

Technically now you need to add Ash because he is Alola/World Champion

[@titanx5624]

I actually have Cynthia in my Pokemon Masters EX. (I got her by accident, I was surprised that I got her.)

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

I want to say here though, that I recently just replayed this video again and again, like I played it 3 to 4 months ago, but the more I listen to all of these themes I found something different than the moment I listen to their originals. I found myself disappointing listen to these themes as I thought, the originals shows their team is powerful, and it’s leaded by their respective skilled trainers such as Cynthia, Lance, and more. But for Master EX remixes, I found these themes ONLY shows how powerful the champions/trainers are, but some of these themes lacks of the involvement of their team and Pokémon. It’s just doesn’t make me feel like their Pokémon partners by their side… only trainers themselves, like they’re alone…I don’t know… help. Or maybe I’ll listen to what y’all would think??

[@serranobricks6302]

You should listen to Guzma and original hau themes!

[@AfreenSabah]

ayoooooo! Hype!! Let's goooo!!

[@CherryblossomFoxx]

Iris theme needs more respecc

[@user-fantasy20mk08]

Emily didn’t try to imagine the drop is like fireworks exploding in the night sky as it drops into the start of the theme from the originals. It’s fireworks Emily 🎆 😅

[@dreeg1896]

Aw, no Renegade Cynthia. Shame that is.

[@veenadayma6514]

You certainly did Kukui a bit dirty; for me Kukui was either A tier, or at least, B tier because of how amazing it sounds despite being a Champion theme. Same with Diantha, easy A tier. Please don't go so harsh on such amazing soundtracks!

[@weikoonng]

Cynthia takes her Champion job too seriously… I can’t imagine her as an archeologist in her Master EX theme… but no other words than INTENSE FEAR as a champion… Cynthia is better more to be a champion.

[@Chillaccino1]

Just added the 420th like lfg

[@pikachus0358]

I say react to the legendary themes of pokemon masters ex

[@AfreenSabah]

Yeah. I'd say that's a fair and expected ranking. And yeh. I kinda prefer oh iris a bit more than masters. But other than that, yeh.
