___________________________________________________________
The previous video of the battle themes had become a bit outdated and I wanted to make a new one. Also, playing the new generation motivated me to do it.
I want to clarify that this video is NOT a second part. I have made the video completely from 0 listening to all the battle themes of all the games, so you may be surprised that there are some changes from the previous video. I have also changed the version of some songs because I think both versions are great.
Finally, the video is just my opinion, but I love ALL the themes that appear here, and even many more that unfortunately don't appear. By that I mean even number 50 is a pretty good theme for me.

God that gen 3 rival battle theme always gives me chills

[@issiaka269]

It sound like a 20 years old laptop and it’s normal, technology weren’t developed enough when those versions came out. I don’t blame anyone for those music and they are not bad at all, just the technology was bad. There is remakes for those themes. No way he put his stupid nostalgia over a real objective classement. Because ORAS are good remakes, the ost remakes are better too. The worst Pokémon music classement I have ever witnessed.

[@DkKobaADV]

It being the theme for the secret steven fight makes it go that much harder - they acknowledge your character is strong enough to have a master Champion as a *rival*

[@tcarafi]

@@issiaka269 okay lol

[@kyo-hey_fromPokemon]

@@issiaka269 This is just my personal opinion, but I think that there is something good about that GBA sound source. Of course, the sounds of ORAS songs are very beautiful and I like them, but there are also sound quality that could only be produced in games from 20 years ago, and instrument sounds that haven't yet been able to express an orchestra. I like Rubisafa's BGM including all of them.

But it doesn't seem to be a particularly popular one. :') Was excited my other top three (Zero Lab and Ultra Necrozma) made an appearance, though!

[@quagsire_lover3235]

this list was honestly very good. but my personal favourite battle theme is the regi trio theme in ruby and saphire. might be because of nostalgia. but it genuinely sounds somewhat creepy and it still gives me chills to this day.

[@tokugawashigeshige8862]

I appreciate that you actually had a good mix of gens; it felt like you were actually judging based on the music and not any bias towards which games you might prefer. Because obviously all Pokemon games have good songs in them. I would argue that increasing audio fidelity means that the last few gens can reach even greater heights, but it's awesome that older ones can still compete, especially since they all have remakes now. I guess you didn't include Legends Arceus though? The Origin Forme Palkia/Dialga fight theme is currently my #1 favorite Pokemon song. Others in my top ten would be Team Star Admin, Island Kahuna, Eternatus Phase 3, Red/Lance, Unova Elite Four, and the Reshiram/Zekrom fight theme.

[@Beulraeki]

I've been binging on Suicune's theme for quite a while, so imagine my shock when I learn it is number THREE on this list.

[@accountgegevens]

Nothing but bangers on this list. Me and my homies always bop to the battle themes But dude.. the R/B/Y GYM BATTLE theme is ABOVE?! the R/B/Y TRAINER BATTLE theme!? R/B/Y trainer battle theme is a master class in freeflowing composing fr Nd thnx for introducing me to the Arvin battle theme it's 🔥

[@acordsjuganers]

Hey! Yes I know about the Trainer Battle RBY composing, but I love how intimidating Gym Battle sounds! That's why is above. By the way, Scarlet and Violet have some great themes! Did you check the team star themes (number 12 and number 9)?

[@accountgegevens]

Hmm Intimidating is a right description. The common traits i see in the most popular battle themes is that aggressive pressure to disorganize us and to never let us rest, which is indeed intimidating lol Therefore I respect your reasoning to put it where its at But yes, the Team Star theme, Penny's theme i find quality pieces as well, all discovered thnx to your selection so i have added them to my YT playlist. Also, I actually never fully listened to Hop's battle theme until ur list lol Thnx for the content!

[@lukaraphael3937]

It’s your tier list but i would put Zinnia’s Battle theme and Zinnia Sorrow in first. But still a great tier list!

[@Frxzt]

The fact that the Scarlet and Violet tracks placed so highly, placing higher than some classics even without the backing of years (and in some cases, decades) of nostalgia, demonstrates the true quality and raw power of the SV ost. The ost, especially the professors theme, is criminally underrated amongst the Pokémon community. I also think that what you did for the description of the video is a creative idea. I disagree with some placements, but as a whole it is a solid list.

[@me8551]

Personally I think legends arceus did a better job with the music if we’re talking modern games

[@acordsjuganers]

This is interesting. I think that when you do a list like this, you have to be careful with the new games and new songs because it's easy to think that the song is really good, but then stop feeling the same after some years. The thing is that you never know if this is gonna happen. One of the main differences between my first top 50 battle themes and this, is that several 8th generation themes fell in a lower position on the new video, and the reason is what I said... I meant, I love the new themes, specially the professors and the team star themes, but at the same time I'm kind of afraid about if in 10, 15, 20 years I'll think the same. The first time I listened the 3rd generation rival theme I thought it was great, and after 20 years I still thinking the same😄

[@BlastHeart96]

That’s one thing that Game Frak has always gotten right. Music. I don’t think anyone will argue that fact.

My top 5: 5. Zinnia (ORAS) 4. Team Plasma (BW) 3. Giratina (PT) 2. Gym Leader (BW) 1. Hau’s Champion Battle (USUM) I’m super shocked that Hau’s champion theme is this slept on

[@Therealgeorgekat]

There were a few amazing themes missing; those being Champion Nemona theme, Ho-oh theme, and Zinnia’s theme. Otherwise, great list!

[@rinus915]

Damm didn't expect that final one. I like the remake version one better but it's good. I expected some themes to be in here like galar gym leader, ho-oh, dpp gym leader/e4. But i didn't know sinnoh trainer theme slapped so hard as wel as the scarlet and violet soundtrack. It was better then i remembered. I always like these rankings, my favorite theme is either n final battle or neo team plasma grunt theme or lance hgss idk man🙈

[@togekiss1995]

Now I’m trying to imagine what I’d have as a battle theme if I was a unique character in the Pokémon series. I guess it’d depend on what role I was cast for. If I was a happy go lucky kinda guy, maybe a rival for instance, than I’d look at something like Allan Sherman’s Good Advice. Maybe a medley version or something. On the other hand, if I was openly malicious towards the player, I’d 130% want the battle theme for Zant from LoZ Twilight Princess as my tune. Or something else that makes you think of a cacophony while still being a straight left right and center bop. Something you can get down to when you feel like being a little crazy.

[@typhoonboom]

the slate legendary theme reminds me kinda of welcome your new overlord from the kirby series thats not a bad thing imo, i really like both themes

[@nishant9289]

(Sigh) 😔 Not many people appreciate Geeta's theme; does every theme needs to be excellent acoustically and not much structurally? These two terms, although going hand-to-hand, definitely appeal as distinct features in Geeta's theme. Everyone loves listening to the type of music they love to hear; like the loud melody in Team Star Admin Theme, or the feeling of ultimate moment in Blue's theme, or even the fight-or-flight jerk in Cynthia's theme, but can we listen beyond what we adore and appreciate this battle theme it is deserving of?

[@teamskygrunt3978]

Personally don’t agree but good opinion

[@acordsjuganers]

I agree with your point of view. I believe you expressed it quite effectively. As you are aware, the video is merely my view, and despite the fact that Geeta's theme has an unusual structure, that it is a long, energetic, and original theme, I just like it. At last, you can admire a song and understand that it's good, but that doesn't mean you'll like it right away. I can think of other video game tracks when the same thing happened to me, but I'm sure it's happened to you as well. I waited the entire game to hear the Paldea champion's music, and when I did, I didn't get the same feeling I did with the other ones. For me, the theme of Diantha, whose theme almost no one likes, is still a legitimate contender as a champion theme. But, in the end, this is just my opinion. I understand that it's a good song structurally, and I can see why you like it. Thanks for the comment!

[@ChaosEnd136]

Yeah that's the only good thing about her lol

[@ariados_enjoyer]

I disagree on all you've said but I'll respect your views

[@KoreanUniversityRockDragon]

Personally I like it. I love how it has references to different Pokémon battle themes, and most of them are some of my favorites.

[@ffxiikiller]

Pokemon gold/silver/crystal battle theme is the best.

[@alfsew]

[@PyromaniacAxel]

Gotta say, there's a lot of nostalgia here with these themes. My Top Ten (there was one I ALMOST forgot until I heard it here) are as follows: 10. Gym Leader Battle - Pokémon Sword and Shield (Barely got beat out by the next one) 9. Elite Four Battle - Pokémon Sun and Moon (This one sounded more intimidating than most of the other Elite Four Battles.) 8. Legendary Battle (XY Legendaries) - Pokémon X and Y 7. Champion Diantha - Pokémon X and Y 6. Champion Steven - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (the original one is still good too) 5. Champion Cynthia - Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Haven't gotten to her yet in Shining Pearl, so I hope it stacks up to this one!) 4. Rival Gladion - Pokémon Sun/Moon (Had one of the best Rival arcs I've seen.) 3. Champion Defense - Pokémon Sun/Moon (This one was really the first time I felt like a Champion and getting to take on other challengers, with a new one each time you completed the Elite Four) 2. Team Star Grunt Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (By far the BEST of all the Grunt Battle themes so far. Wish you could hear it more after you beat them all, though.) 1. AI Professor Battle - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (I love this theme to death! It's so awesome, but sadly, we never get to hear it again, ever... Not even during the post-game.)

[@StijnEngels]

About the ai professor theme, I believe you can use it when you do online battles so that's one way to hear it again!

[@acordsjuganers]

I really like your top 10! 💪🏼

[@chariotofthesun]

Bede’s theme, hell yeah! Especially 55:36

[@yasukoyokurazi7715]

Now that the indigo disk is released, Kieran’s champion theme is literally number one! It’s too good!!
