Time for another nostalgia-trip. Here's my piano solo cover of "Littleroot Town", the town where the player begins his/her journey in the original 3rd gen Pokémon games: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Can't believe it's been about 13 years since I've first started this childhood adventure...
Hope you all enjoy!
Mike
Original track composed by Junichi Masuda.

[@MusicMike512]

Bad news (and hopefully a little bit of good news): Unfortunately, just recently (since June 13, 2024), all Nintendo related sheet music (mine included) have been wiped from Musicnotes as per requested by Nintendo. It is a heartbreaking and extremely upsetting thing for all of us musicians who have worked tirelessly over the years just to share our love of its music and help others play our unique arrangements. In any case, I’ve recently begun creating piano tutorials (synthesia-style) of my past covers and will continue to do so. Hopefully these will still be of help for those who are interested in playing my arrangements. I’m sorry to those who may still want to purchase my Nintendo sheet music but are now unable to. Let’s hope somebody at Nintendo with half a brain cell remaining will someday reverse this nonsensical decision. So, despite this very bad news regarding the removal of my Nintendo sheet music, the (hopefully) good news here is that this cover will be created into a piano tutorial sometime in the near future. Please stay tuned for that. Again, I'm sorry that this had to have happened - it breaks my heart that simply sharing these hard-worked arrangements with fellow fans/musicians who just want to learn them is basically being taken away.

[@ivanpetrov9639]

Long time no see, pal.....Hope you always having the best time of your life, and create more masterpieces like this.

Im sorry to hear that :( but thank you for all your work, came to revisit this piano cover to listen to it again after years!

[@walkatrout]

Sorry to hear that, this is such a beautiful cover that I keep coming back to time and time again, it’s such a massive shame that Nintendo doesn’t understand the love and appreciation we have for these tracks. I hope you’re doing well and I hope somehow this awful decision will be reversed, thank you for blessing us with this wonderful and nostalgic masterpiece of a cover ❤

[@chaitanyashende7244]

How did I never notice that, I mean I did, but I never thought of it like that.I think the actual music producers wanted to give a very deep message through their soundtrack that your life is also a very long and beautiful, and a never ending journey. But honestly, the nostalgia in RSE soundtrack is so deep and heart-piercing, I can't help but shed tears every single time I hear it 😭 I honestly underestimated the power and magic of music💘

pokemon sapphire was my first true pokemon game for the gameboy advanced sp. i remember playing outside on warm summer days with my older sister during the day and then coming back home around sunset, plopping down on the living room couch, and playing this game for hours :') swampert will always be my original starter pokemon :) im in college now supposed to be studying for a test but this song makes me step back and think about the easy times

[@MusicMike512]

Nostalgia is great :')

[@vinxlab]

That was me for Pokemon HeartGold. I did the same thing, I would bring my DS to school when I was about 5, and during recess I would hide in a small little play house, playing HeartGold, training my Totodile, soon to be a Croconaw, then a Feraligator. During lunch I would again hide just to go back to Route 4 after getting a call and going to a Trainer Battle, then going home to do the same thing, day after day, and that didn't change for 2 good years of the good life. Fruit juice and Ho-Oh. Now being a Freshman means it's not as nostalgic as from child to adult but I still feel all warm thinking about it. This comment reminded me of that. Today I go back and grab my older sisters Gameboy and I put in Pokemon Red, then I grab my Gameboy advanced and put in Sapphire, Bulbasaur, Totodile, and Treeko were my three favorite and first starters.

[@carterfield1355]

this almost made me cry

[@Bl0opsverse]

You have a noice childhood

[@kevinlin8639]

How’d your test go?

[@bubuchahchah]

I cried. It throws me back to when I was nine years old, after school I would have lunch and play Pokemon Sapphire on my living room couch with my dog by my side for hours on end. My family was dealing with divorce at the time and I escaped into Littleroot Town often. Every time I beat the gym, I would restart the game with different Pokemons. That was fifteen years ago. Today I think back about all the sacrifices my dad made, how blessed I am. My childhood dog has passed but I have another sweet dog with me for five years. Life is good. And I still play Pokemon. Waiting on that Pokemon Sword.

[@MusicMike512]

That was touching. I'm very glad you made it out of that and that life is good for you now! Thanks for sharing your story. Pokemon will live in our hearts forever!

[@cupcaakey]

BW was definitely one of the, if not the best Pokemon game. However when it was released, it wasn’t technically a “hot game” because it was really disliked by genwunners because of “haha trash and ice cream pokemon” but now it’s one of the most loved games. It took so long for people to like it lol

i usually watch this video once per year, but back when i was still around 9 years old, i suddenly liked playing pokemon games, and so, their musics... i found this video and it was so good, and i actually tried playing it by ear on piano, and i succeeded, this littleroot town theme is just so good lol...

[@yongling9825]

Play-by-ear is such a valuable skill to possess. I used to take piano lessons as a kid, but over the years, I've lost quite a lot of piano skills, like two-handed play. Fortunately, I can still play by ear, albeit slow tho.

[@spicychickenstudios4398]

Hey Mike, Thank you so much. You redid my favorite track I ever listened to in my life in a breathtaking piano piece. I can't think of a better piece that captures the feeling of my whole childhood.

I grew out of Pokémon about two years ago, and I played Omega Ruby. This is the most nostalgic track in that game. To make it even more somber I moved schools around the time I grew out of Pokémon. Life changes and evolves, and while this one song makes me feel sad, overall I am in bliss.

[@girtzjeffrey]

Ah. The feeling of genuine nostalgia. This game is literally my childhood. Staying up late at night with my cheap headphones on… what a great time to be alive as a kid.

[@arturiapendragon6760]

hearing a lone piano playing more simple music always brings me back to my childhood listening to one of my friends practice because his mom was super strict abt it and even tho i was over he still had to go over his piano music. add that on top of me being a certified hoenn baby, hearing this song hits me even harder in the nostalgia feels. this is amazing

[@Kitsune81]

Amazing rendition! The basis is just simple arpeggio's with a melody line, but it's the small nuances that give it that beautiful feeling. I got goosebumps and shed a manly tear while listening to this.

[@astrouphel]

I like to come here every once in a while. I didn't grow up with the game like everyone else here did. I wasn't really alive when the GameBoy was the big thing. The first Pokemon game I ever truly played was Pokemon Moon. Before then, I had played a couple others such as Blue. However, I didn't really get into video games until I was about 10. About then was when S/M came out, and I had a blast with it. I know many people talk about how bad the Gen 7 games are, but I had so much fun. Such a beautiful region, Alola. Anyways, enough rambling. This cover is beautiful. As I said, I don't have the nostalgia that others do, but I love coming here to listen to this and for the sense of connection and memories. Always a good, relaxing time. So thank you for this beautiful piece, and for bringing everyone here together :)
