I am beginning to appreciate just how much of an effort the Pokemón score really is. Junichi Masuda has done a truly terrific job here.

[@chheinrich8486]

Everyone is talking about "gotta catch em all" when that opening form red and blue is equaly if not more iconic

[@youizavinabubble]

The score was so important to the original Pokemon games it’s unreal. I don’t think people truly grasp how important. They literally captured the very essence of what the games were trying to sell to the intended audience. They amplify everything the player is expected to feel in the particular settings/scenarios they’re in. The emotion I feel listening to these is indescribable. I won’t say I had the worst childhood, as that’d be very selfish, but there were certainly some very troubled parts and times where I felt incredibly alone. These games had a huge impact on me and kept me sane. They enabled me to focus on something positive all while living a very real and unpleasant experience on the outside. Nothing else mattered. I knew the reality of it all. A bunch of chips, electronic circuitry encased in a big block of plastic, but it felt magical to me nonetheless. It allowed me to fantasise about a world I wish I lived in. I could be someone else for an hour or two and distract myself from all of the other things that made me miserable. The people behind the original Pokemon games will never truly understand exactly what they did for me. I know the end game for them was turning over a profit (as is still the case today), but I couldn’t care less. It gave tens of millions of children something to focus on when nothing else was working out for them. I don’t think it will ever truly be replicated. Iconic is an understatement.

Battle vs. RED was amazing

[@jomet9019]

This is like the best audience ever. No coughs and they don't clap too early

[@alebohorquez2385]

this sent chills down my spine and me feel so incredibly nostalgic... thank you so much!

[@rawrwata5289]

Sat an cried when I heard Pallet Town theme to relive those days in the 90s when I was a kid as a kid again I'd give everything I have. The happy memories an the annoying ones this brings them all back. Like the annoyance of being so happy to finally reach the elite four an rush straight into it thinking you're strong enough an don't need items then loose the first battle an realising it was a bad idea to spend everything in the game corner so had to activate the missing no glitch to satisfy my craving of wanting to beat them so badly.

[@rodrigroudon1872]

Rawrwata same with the he main theme

[@worldclasschocolatecake4475]

sounds like you were saying satan cried, lol.

[@merfyn4838]

The pallet town theme seriously make me tear up. My childhood....

[@Dat1Artiz]

2:57 was amazing!

[@calebbrazier8495]

Nostalgia's a hell of a drug.

[@wiscymustang]

So gorgeous. I just wish these were split as both have amazing distinct sound tracks from each other. Felt a little too rushed in some spots, and some songs were a snippet when I would have loved to hear them whole. Overall great job as always though. I always get the nostalgia cries and tight chest when you guys do my favorites. Just purchased Crystal on 3DS a couple weeks ago and am living out my glory days again. The only game to include the original zone, albeit abridged, as well as the new zone. 16 badges to collect in one game, two zones connected by bullet train. Best in the series, in my opinion.

[@sirkingpinmonroe4439]

Pokemon is one of my favorite video game series ever! Loved the old anime and I love the older games. This makes me feel like a 2 year old again.

[@gondaime87]

6:10 was amazing!

[@MlenToboe]

That was incredible

[@Payn333]

Absolutely agreed that got me out my seat

[@benchristopher392]

I wish it hit harder it's such an iconic bit of music just wish they went for it but I don't blame the musicians they played perfectly to the music that was written

[@youizavinabubble]

In a miserable world. This cheers me up. Thank you for the memories.

[@babagonzaga]

The first note, and I already want to cry smh...

[@thejutin4138]

This makes me want to play any Pokémon game so badly

[@peterrealar2.067]

Ah memories. A much kinder and simpler time. Thank you.

[@leneff1414]

[@kelleymaxwell3875]

I've been finding these videos in the same sequence that I played the games...starting with Sonic and now Pokemon (with Mario Bros. 3 in between). Don't know whether to laugh at the memories, snicker because I'm so old now, or cry due the fact I want to go back in time to my childhood (i was in my 20's for Pokemon' s debut. Still, younger than what I am now!) I totally love these videos and have shared them with my four (youngest being 17!) Sons. (Imagine loving classical music and finding these pieces of wonderfulness!!)

[@ivansitohang1932]

Sounds amazing :) Looking forward to more Pokemon music from your orchestra!

[@Sinha010]

Est ce que vous allez tout faire jusqu'à la Gen 7 (je pense surtout aux thèmes de Giratina, Cynthia, Zinnia et Necrozma qui vont vraiment envoyer du lourd). Continuez vous êtes géniaux. P.S: Regardez du côté des Monster Hunter de Capcom, en version orchestre cela pourrait être intéressant.

[@nthgth]

Each new track I listen to on this channel, I'm consistently surprised how the arrangements are so distinct from covers of the same music in Smash Bros. Maybe it's the lack of treble clef strings?

no, I think there is a great effort to bring us this for free, this page does not owe you anything, and they are giving you this incredible video for 0, only for you to come with your airs of superiority to say that you give it dislike because of the camera angle, if there is a real reason why there are so few independent channels uploading content like this, it is really because of people like you, and you still play the important role and comment on it ... because of the camera angle " He says "I hope the people around you look so malicious at your actions, I don't have to be god to make my point.

[@DadPlaysBass]

@@noxi64 not true though. I pay KZbin premium, they also get money from the video, and they also need a feedback from the horrible job at the camera. So I still stand my opinion. Otherwise I would make a channel as well, if ppl think just like you do, i would make tons of money. Criticism is good. Keep that in mind mío amigo hispánico
