A few months ago, Materia Collective announced their Johto Legends Gold and Silver album and created an incentive to have me do a track on it! This is a double track including the encounter song and I think it came out working really cool moving into the main battle theme. Be sure to snag the album from the link above!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Love it when people combine the overworld encounter music themes and the actual music - makes it a more complete experience! Also it looks like the bass was hard to do in this one... or maybe that's just me

[@FamilyJules7X]

[@norbertoenrique8340]

The way the Rival theme was MEANT to sound like....

[@christopherboye5498]

​@Maio nayz It's not the technology. Ever since the DS games they went with orchestrated soundtrack for Pokemon games, but frankly these sound generic and lack variation in instruments (drums, french trumpets) and rhythm, especially the battle music. Back on the Game Boy Color/ Advanced developers were limited on 16/32-bit technology, so they pushed the music and sound effects to the limit of those devices. I thought the HG/SS soundtrack was weak despite loving the game in general.

[@Grivian]

@@christopherboye5498 I really don't like the HG/SS soundtrack, especially lance/reds theme. It sounds so weak. Even though the original gold/silver games had limited technology there was a "heaviness" to the theme, especially in the beginning. Telling you that this was it, it's happening. You are facing the champ, and he is going to whoop your ass.

[@AwesomeCornSauce]

Stole a pokemon, earned every badge, helped take down every team rocket member, championed strength above all else, met you at the entrance to the elite four...

To be honest, that is the best song for a rival, it feels you fight with the worst of yourself

[@ishmaeltheadventurer4130]

My favorite Pokemon Game, thank you Jules.

[@adriantepes4355]

I still miss the badass rivals we got in the old gen games. They actually felt like an actual rival and a friend at the same time/ or in case of Silver a focused and determined rival. But the rivals nowadays are just...too soft

[@nathanielmarino5989]

Or theyre bede. They said "you want mean rivals. Well here" and bede just cant measure up to the greatness of the TRUE mean rivals. Hes mean but never a rival. A rival is supposed to help push you to greater heights and vice versa but he litterally wants you to fail so only he can succeed

[@adriantepes4355]

@@nathanielmarino5989 a rival is supposed to be one like Vegeta, competitive and yet not overly mean.

I backed Johto Legends AND bought a physical copy because you were advertising it and godDAMN it was worth it. This track is so good, I'm so glad you were able to contribute to the album!! 👌✨

[@FamilyJules7X]

Thank you so much! The whole album is phenomenal!

[@ealing456]

Introduced to your stuff via Braxton Burks' reorchestrated' album. I have a lot of catching up to do!

[@bdwam]

Your covers are simply outstanding; been subbed since 2012 and honestly everytime I listen to them you hit the exact notes as they are heard in video games, like an harmonic tune. Plus adding the energy and passion you put in every cover I simply think you are great man, keep it up!

[@tristanbettencourt9847]

Thank you so much ! @FamilyJules

[@aidanvandeveer2926]

that bit at the end when you recoil at the abruptness of the game boy sounds. priceless. still my favorite song in gaming, and you nail it. love your work jules. don’t ever stop.

[@SquirtleSquady]

Best rival in my opinion, mostly just because he's not friendly with you and its a nice change of pace. His theme being badass helps a lot too.

[@Zboubax]

Squirtle Squady and gladius?

[@commandojoe123]

Can someone make a mod for the games that replaces the music with Jules' covers?

[@Jayjaytube518]

Fastest click of the week for me! You did a gen II fanboy proud!

[@KytsoraDoodles]

I KNEW IT. I HEARD THE COVER AND THOUGHT IT WAS YOU!!!! AAAAAAHHH IM SO HAPPY! THANK YOU FOR ADDING IT TO THE ALBUM!!!!

[@RedrunLoL]

Also including both the theme for when your rival shows up and THEN the battle theme itself was genius!

[@noarinne]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Oh my god thank you so much, not only is this my favorite track (and Silver's my favorite character, additionally) from the entire series, but having it covered by you is a dream come true. You're absolutely killing it and those riffs are AMAZING. I've been waiting for Johto Legends since so long, and I'm so happy to see you being a part of it!! I'm blessed. Thank you so, so much for your work, please keep the great tunes coming!! (and pshhh he's a great rival. he's an asshat but a good, well-written asshat.)

[@bando-kun842]

Silver was a guilty pleasure... On the one hand, I hated beating down on his Pokémon because they were hinted at being victims of his abusive nature. On the other hand, his theme music was fire. 🤣

[@JediMaster362]

Thank you, FamilyJules. You brought back memories from when I fought trainer silver from the game god so many memories just float back in. I used to hate him as a kid but I understand he was a misunderstood kid that understood things right and made things right.

Siempre pensé qué esté tema era para un cover metal y no me equivoqué, ¡chingón amigó!

[@YormanGina]

I love Silver's theme and absolutely love your cover. You gotta do pokemon covers more often, dude.

[@chaosmiles07]

Frantic, heartfelt, and soulfull enough to match the idea of the rival from this generation... a thief who wants to prove to his estranged father that he can make a name for himself without his father's powerful influence. This just screams "I know I can do whatever I want if I put my soul into it!" Fits the character well!

[@subversiveasset]

Gold and Silver was my favorite generation! Also, Silver was waaaay better than Gary Finally, SYMPHONYIC ORCHESTRA

[@seworian2185]

love the energy, I like how you're enjoying it. keep it up!

[@Evello37]

I bought Johto Legends almost immediately after it dropped and was blown away by this arrangement, but I never realized it was by you. Amazing work and major props to everyone else involved with the album too!

[@LegendOfGroose]

AHHH EVERY NEW VIDEO YOU PUT OUT THIS YEAR IS MY NEW FAVORITE!!! For real Jules this is fucking incredible, love the encounter theme before the battle theme starts, some of your best work. Have my children.

Your Pokemon covers has always among my favorites and this is no exception

[@PinkBunnyCorporation]

That end bit though. Like "okay so you play this, then that then...what was it?" play source material song INSANE RIFF.... "whelp that's a thing I'm supposed to do then I guess". Very funny. I think we can easily forget how insanely hard you have to work sometimes. Thanks for the guest track. I'm enjoying the album and I love the rival theme from GSC in the 2nd generation. You worked hard to help add an extra shine to the album thanks so much.

[@RedrunLoL]

Holy shit, it's been so long since you covered a song I know and like, and I fucking love this cover. This is by far my favorite theme from the Pokemon games and you've made it even better.

[@socialaccount0000]

A tier rivals: Blue, Gary (anime), Silver B tier: Wally, Barry C tier: Hau, Gladion, May/Brendan D tier: Hugh, Cheren, "not blue" from Lets GO TRASH: All the "rivals" from X & Y, Bianca. But S tier? Thats all Paul baby. Paul was the GOAT in the anime

[@KenDaKingArrives]

This sounds like a pure personality vote, but Alain belongs at least in the B-tier. He's Ash's strongest rival in the anime by far thanks to his Elite 4-level Mega Charizard X alongside a Metagross and Tyranitar so his power is S-tier. No he doesn't push Ash to grow, only merely gives him something to look forward to in the League who ends up being his foil. That's not so great, C-D tier. Also, he beat him THREE times! That should average out to at least a B-tier, maybe C tier. He is NOT trash!

[@domonicpoores1267]

Hands down. Best Pokémon game ever.

[@Azurolu]

Thanks for the amazing cover. One of my favorite video game tracks. You covered it a while back didn't you? Keep up the good work!
