Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - Clavell Battle Music (HQ)

This play when you are challenging Clavel in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")
---
Main goal of these video concept ideas:
My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
Let me explain:
- Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest one Volipok) post tons of Gameplays from Every Generation (Which once again was played and recorded by myself in it's entirety. It took me many years of works.)
My video have Educational Value and let me explain why: It does provide help to the user who watch the video. One of the few example for that is which musics is played from my gameplays. It could easily be found on video cards (The exclamation mark "!" you see on the video above at the right) and vice versa. (This mean that on this video for example, you could also find my actual battle gameplays of where this music is played)
- Secondly, My video are transformative enough, I took the time to play the game and recording the musics. I took the time to improve it's original quality using Vegas Pro. Thanks to a program called "Track EQ" that you can find on Vegas Pro.
This program allow the user to enhance it's original quality and further improving it. This need concentration as each version has different audio quality.
- Thirdly and as you have noticed: On each Generation, I use different background that I bought on a website called Shutterstock. (Which I have bought at least 336 pictures background, just so I can become as creative as possible and also work on a lot of different style using those background)
This kind of concept was created by myself since 2011. Today it has become one of the main concept of my channel that I personally created.
- Lastly is to bring the community together. I have noticed that so many people are commenting and giving their opinions on the video, sharing their experience about characters from the game, confirming theory, saying funny stuff and I find this extremely amazing and interesting! I don't want their comment to be unnoticed so I have plan for the future of my content about commenting and sharing their experience on videos that I will produce one day!
I think I explained everything now. Enjoy and have a great day!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All musics, gameplay and content included within this video are transformative, creative, have educational value and this recording are from my own gameplay. I'm also the one that created that concept video ideas. No copyright infringement is intended.

[@Salvatore98B]

The best about Clavel is that he could try to enter the Team Star bases and talk it out like a principal but no, he disguised himself as a Student and talks to them like one. He listens to their reasonings and opinions and kinda meets them half way by punishing them for property appropriacion, absent days, dresscodes BUT cooperating by leaving the bases active and giving them a kind of punishment. I really like his arc and the story

That he doesn't and goes out of his way to understand their positions is a testament to his integrity and care for his students.

How I can describe Clavell in 3 words: My favorite boomer. There's just something so weirdly likable about him, he actually made me learn what the word "cheugy" meant, I learned more from him in 3 minutes than I've learned at my actual school in the past 5 years. Even if you disregard Clive, he is so incredibly "How do you do, fellow kids?" and I absolutely love him for it. Edit: The fact his theme also transitions into a rendition of the academy theme midway through is frankly really touching and it makes me love him even more. Just nods at the fact that he is one of the few school staff members (real or fictional) that truly just wants the best for his students and the academy and that he himself will actually take action to ensure absolutely everyone is happy.

[@stripeback2024]

The "fellow kids" aspect in Clive is also quite wholesome because it shows how invested he is in connecting with his students.

Kukui starting this trend was defiantly a reference to the unused Oak battles coded in RBY.

This was the first time it felt alright to me for the rival character to pick the weaker starter. She is champion level already, and pretty much doing NG+. She is trying to train you up to her level. Yeah, makes sense to me that she is choosing to have a handicap. Hop and Hau just felt weak. How am I supposed to take them seriously when the first thing they do is counter pick a starter that is weak to mine? With Nemona you at least know she is always going easy on you.

[@retro-porygon]

Also need to consider that this generation's starters final evolution has a secondary type that is stronger than their primary type's weakness. So by the time the player's starter is at their prime (and likewise, the player has grown) they are on par with Nemona and no longer need the "handicap".

The biggest plot twist with Clavel was that there was no plot twist. Given the previous Generations, it was easy to look to the Academy for a true evil team, with Team Star being the red herring. Yet, Clavel was just being a lad the whole time. And I've never heard a battle theme so fitting for a character. It's calm, precise and elegant, yet still has that tension and impact a battle theme should have. Gen 9 might not be the best, but they really pulled no stops with the sound track. Every single piece in this generation has been an absolute banger, and I can't wait to hear the music of the DLCs.

Yep... The worst thing that I could say about some of the characters is that I wanted see more (gym leaders), but when the game focused on a character it did a great job.

[@YourFateG]

Except the abhorrent Nemona and Iono, which is literally the average Gen Z.

[@MrTheboomboxer]

This man's efforts to do right by his students and trying to understand them are incredibly admirable. I love how he more or less pardoned team Star, and gave them a new purpose.

[@fireXdisaster]

This song is the perfect example of there's no need to go hard or intense to be a great song. This song keeps you motivated to fight and beat him, no matter how many BS things he can set on his team or against yours

[@chennanmao]

I love that each story branch gave us a whole genre of musical overtone to enjoy. This track sounds like it should be part of Coliseum or Gale of Darkness which I dearly miss.

Or, as another comment pointed out, The Great Ace Attorney ( Dai Gyakuten Saiban ) ! Since they're by the same person.

I like how throughout the game, every school rule that we are explained is broken at least once by another character.

I love how this battle theme feels commanding and light-hearted, yet mostly melancholic. Given that he is the director of the academy and how well you bonded with him throughout Operation Starfall, it really felt like Clavell was just battling you just to protect you from what Cassiopeia had planned prior to the meeting.

[@thequincy_]

This track is absolutely phenomal, very regal and elegant- yet so intense. Pokémon no matter the entry, always finds a way to make absolutely incredible, story driven pieces of music that perfectly captures the moments at hand. Clavell has a very peculiar atmosphere about him, so it was only natural many felt he was going to be the obvious twist antagonist, but I'm very pleased to know that wasn't the case, so that we were given this great moment instead. Despite his story being simplistic, this OST really gave me chills and allows for the player to empathize with Clavell and his circumstances in general. Merely being a humble school Director, with a stern and polite exterior, but with a kind, empathic interior. S/V did a surprising solid job at conveying the stories, thoughts, and personalities of many of the unique characters. It's unfortunate alot for them weren't fully-fledged.

[@vlooranthewise7526]

This music has my favorite use of the school theme leitmotif.

[@KelyxTheMage]

reading the comments and honestly surprised people thought he was going to be the main antagonist. He doesn't really have that 'main antagonist' feel to his design and him taking the place for the typical pokemon professor at the beginning of the game just made it more obvious that there's nothing villainous about him. He's just a headmaster who takes care to make his students feel welcome.

[@hrpang]

Clavell: "How do you do fellow kids?" Team Star: "Much better than before."

[@PsychicStoryteller]

The Gym Leader route is the most familiar. The Herba Mystica route is the most emotional. The Team Star route is overall the most interesting part, for me, at least. I liked the Gyms, and Arven is definitely tugging at my dog-adoring heartstrings, but man Team Star's just so cool.

[@Lunar1314_]

Literally the best «evil» team don’t @ me

[@VardrunCRidleyKnight]

Me before playing the game: Ugh, I don’t really love the design, and I‘d real disappointed if he was another obvious twist villain Me after playing the game: he’s my best friend, he’s my pal. He’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier. He’s my sweet cheese, my good-time boy

[@SarD3an]

Unironically one of my favorite characters this gen. Really happy he wasn't another Chairman Rose

[@dr.veronica6155]

The part at 1:17 is by far my favorite. Clavell is awesome. I was just like everybody else in assuming right off the bat that he would be a twist villain. Turns out the twist is that he's not a villain and he's actually just super chill and legitimately invested in understanding and forming a bond with his students. Great character.

[@ceciliaekura2506]

I first thought Clavel would be the vilain from the start or even and entitled headmaster but boy was I wrong. That gentleman is amazing, caring and wants the absolute best for each and every students, even willing to want understand what was Team Star motives and why they acted like this. Would have absolutely love to have him as a professor

I got to this part and threw up my hands like, “SERIOUSLY, CLIVE IS THE LEADER?!” But, immediately as I heard the sequence at 1:18-1:39 - and the tone of the music became “encouraging” (if you will), I knew Clavel was up to a little game, and wanted to test my strength. It’s funny how music can convey something like that, albeit subjective. Props to the composers for a job well done here.
