There's a reason for this. It's a conceptualizing. When you hear the first 40 seconds of the song, it sounds like a generic villain theme. This is the usual time it takes to beat an average grunt. The thing is what comes after. Is not a song a bad guy should have. It's foreshadowing. If you take the time to look beyond the surface, you'll find out they are not bad afterall. And once you notice, you can't look at them like before, that's why the loop skips the first part. I don't know much about music, but I know about game design theory and it seems they applied it to the music.

Clavell and the rest of the school faculty were new (all the teachers resigned last year because of the ex-headmaster resigning) and did not know about the bullying issue. By the time Clavell and the rest of the facutly joined the school, the bullying had disappeared because of Team Star, except Team Star got blamed as bullies because of the cowardly deputy headmaster who covered the records (this was told to you by the ex-headmaster, Ortega's piano teacher and the man who battles you before you attack Ortega's base).

What I like about this game are the design choices that have been made here and there. I believe that the Team Star logo purposely looks like a Star with a fragment disconnected from the rest. Stars also are a common way to indicate 'good things' within an academy, or a good student. The people within Team Star.... Really all they want is to be 'stars', something they are locked out of, something they feel they can't reach. Using it as a trademark and facade to hide their underlying issues. If you want to look even deeper into it, the logo is comprised out of 6 triangles, and Team Star has 5 crew bosses + 'the big boss'

[@Robin_Glorb]

it does, though. it plays when you battle 2 in front of the school and for all 5 of the guards of each base that's every encounter besides the bosses who get their own theme

[@blackace4054]

Enserio esta es el tema de batalla de un subordinado, esto suena más como el tema de un protagonista en una batalla decisiva. Muy buen tema la verdad

[@aventurasdemais8261]

They went so unnecessarily hard on this theme and I am so happy they did.

[@crist-roayt]

Si XDDD

[@mephisto--]

To me, that's simply.. the greatest theme Pokemon ever released. Yes. I admit it.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Man, not even Team Star found a way to take off the school uniforms and they're rebels. Are those things attached with superglue or something?

[@AnthanKrufix]

A testament to just how awesome this theme is.. The first time I heard this in the fight just before entering the school, I *_called_* almost the entire Team Star plotline, and as it unfolded it ended up exactly how I thought.. This song sounds hype, like audacious hooligans having fun and looking tough... But also extremely 'regretful', as if they've already lost and are now trying to remember good times and desperately trying to keep a dream alive. And I got all that just from this completely lyric-less instrumental.

[@MufazaPR]

Pokemon, always surprising us with GOD tier soundtracks ❤

[@JuanerYTD]

this could very well be the theme of the villain of the games, it's fucking insane

[@Robin_Glorb]

I don't think this would fit as well as the one they already use

[@Trinity_BLiGHTS]

This song gives me all kinds of chills. It is amazingly written and played!

[@derussianboi]

I didn't even realize this goes hard as hell, Gamefreak cooked with this one.

[@lucasberlitz2689]

Why is this so good lol they had no obligation to go this hard on a grunt theme but I’m really glad they did 😂

[@Lincdup]

This is the best theme I’ve encountered so far in the game. I haven’t reached the end yet so keep that in mind but damn this theme slaps.

[@sternritter9788]

Wait till you hear Penny's theme

[@donovanjoseph737]

Wait until you hear *[REDACTED]’s* theme

[@oktimusbrime6751]

The Team Star Themes and Area Zero are crazy. Holy shit

[@ryanreed2363]

I love this theme so much. One part sounds somewhat like the team plasma grunt theme, and the other part sounds like something from sonic forces. It’s great.

[@tacosean1486]

The whole thing just goes so hard but as soon as the guitar solo kicks in, it takes the song into the stratosphere!

[@AcelJean]

POV: You're listening to the song fully for the first time while battling the kid infront of the Poison Star Base... (F*ck that area is laggy when it rains)

[@that1sprig]

Even without the rain it’s laggy lol

[@dezekeerteun]

Friends: it's just a grunt theme, they are always boring. Me: Hold my beer and listen to this

[@zerius6743]

Neo Team Plasma: am I a joke to you

I'd be down to fight a few more grunts with a theme like this

[@LowEffortDoodles]

Team Star Grunt OST is so much better than their Boss one tbh Also has hella Modern Sonic OST Vibes at 0:40

[@daviddaniel8304]

Props to Giacomo, the absolute GOAT for making such a banger

[@fnafplushultimate6792]

HOLY HELL FOR A GRUNT THEME THIS IS SO GOOD

[@robertbreschard3493]

How many Pokémon does team team star have

[@crist-roayt]

todos los temas de equipos son buenos... Algunos geniales , pero este... ES ES-PEC-TA-CU-LAR

[@crazydiomond9697]

Despite their glaring problems, this team is easily my favorite to ever come out of a pokemon game

[@probablyjinxed]

would you believe me if i told you i thought this was team admin music at first, yes this simply goes that hard

[@BubblingkettIe]

The fact that we only get to hear this absolute banger like 5 times in the entire game is criminal.

[@willuigi64]

actually one of if not my favourite grunt theme in all of pokemon.

[@pyroball602]

Kanto: OH NO, IT'S TEAM ROCKET! Johto: OH NO, IT'S TEAM ROCKET (AGAIN)! Hoenn: OH NO, IT'S TEAM AQUA! / OH NO, IT'S TEAM MAGMA! Sinnoh: OH NO, IT'S TEAM GALACTIC! Unova: OH NO, IT'S TEAM PLASMA! Kalos: OH NO, IT'S TEAM FLARE! Alola: lmao it's team skull Galar: Hoo boy, it's Team Yell. Paldea: Oh hey it's Team Star.

​@@malikoniousjoegen 9: bullied kids who are tired of being bullied team star's storyline is pretty good tbh

This song easily can be a Final Boss battle theme

i like the female grunt's face, it's cute as heck

[@latlequin1]

@@im_a_tide_pod that's what her face looks like

[@Gaddishack]

This slaps so hard. It's a crime you only hear this for, like...seven battles in the whole game. And two of them aren't even against members of Team Star, lol

[@Ypsila]

I don't know who the fuck was in the studio mixing this banger, but they had no reason to make it this fucking hard for basic grunts. But I'm so god damn glad they did.

[@soggyapples1518]

My favorite part about this song is that the drop always seems to happen right as the battle actually starts

[@artemis167-q7z]

I always like the smile from the female grunt, she looks so silly

[@Gabowsk]

Do you guys realize Penny basically has all the control over the campus's rotoms, right?

[@Berkut888Gaming]

Damn I love team Star, love their art too, and of course this TEMAZO

[@alexramos4089]

Yeah is very TEMAZO :v, i dont know that you are spanish men or something like that :V

[@enternaraku]

This song slaps so much, I know you don't normally upload city themes, but I do hope you put the Levincia town theme. This song and that one are probably my favorite tracks aside from all of Area Zero. Either way love your uploads and hope your playthrough is going well!

[@HellfireComms]

Holy shit, the full version of this theme is amazing. Too bad you'll never hear it in game because these dudes carry like two Pokemon lmao
