For a lot of people who grew up with the original games, this was probably the case. Imagine, you're in this completely new game world filled with monsters at every turn. Now you've suddenly entered a dark, maze like forest. What new creatures could possibly be waiting for you inside? Not to mention Kakuna is probably one of the creepiest looking Pokemon of gen 1 in my opinion. At least, to a child. Looking back as an adult, all of the Pokemon in Viridian Forest are merely weak bugs. (Unless you're lucky enough to find a Pikachu or Pidgeotto, of course.)

But the worst part when we had to encounter Mewtwo, he looked so weirdly botched and barely matured, like a fetus ripped out of the womb, the sprites of gen 1 were rather demanding for a 7 year old me.

This makes sense because in Gen 1 the music was so unsettling but that was probably out of fear because it's the start of ur journey. But in HGSS wen u go there it's like the end of ur journey so it feels much more comfortable.

A lot of people say the reason for the change is because of how you’ve already beaten the champion, but I feel like there’s more to it. It feels as if it also represents how Pokémon have changed in the way they were depicted. In gen 1, they were depicted as dangerous monsters to be controlled, but slowly become our friends as we become more familiar with them as the generations go by. What was once a perilous trek through a dark forest filled with dangerous creatures becomes a pleasant walk through the wild with your friends by your side, meeting new friends along the way, growing stronger together. Rather than controlling them, you work side by side with them. They aren’t just monsters anymore, they’re our friends.

@somaricraftbros62833 жыл бұрын
yeah exactly. The sound producer probably had an amazing time remixing music from the game before it. Creating a soft atmosphere that was once horrifying for the player, now calm and as you venture through the forest once more. Of course in the first game, the start would be quite terrifying, but once you become the champion in the johto region of the second game, you feel ontop of the world. a few bugs aren't as terrifying as you huge Feraligatr or Typhlosion. While going through kanto, you feel like nothing can stop you, and the music represents that. You've become champion, what else is there to fear? of course, the gym leaders. Thats why their music is so much more intense. They show that they're not the brock or misty you remember, but stronger, more improved versions of themselves. You have grown since you started off your journey, and so have the leaders since the last leader ruled the region. basically, the music tells a story, a story of growth and evolution, humans do it just like pokemon, just not in the same way.

Something I find genius about the Kanto HG/SS soundtrack is that it embraces its Gen 1 origins and takes them one step further than Gold/Silver did. For example, even if this is overall a direct remix from the Gold/Silver Viridian Forest theme, you can hear a little melody from the Red/Blue version around 0:49 that wasn't actually included in Gold/Silver. But they re-introduced it here in a way that doesn't clash with the happier tone of the new track.
