Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - Team Star Boss Battle Music (HQ)

This play when you are challenging Team Star Bosses 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.

[@thathugeidiot5176]

One aspect I like about the bosses that I don't believe people talk about is what Pokè Ball they use and how it reflects their personality and/or background. Giacomo uses a Timer Ball. This represents the fact he's a musician where having a good sense of timing is very good, and also how he's generally the most chill and patient (from what I've seen) of the five bosses, so it makes sense he uses a ball that becomes better the longer the encounter goes. Mela uses a Quick Ball. This represents her brash and bold personality and tendency to go head first into things without a plan, using a Pokè Ball that succeeds significantly more during the first turn and nowhere else. Ortega uses a Luxury Ball. This obviously represents the fact that Ortega was raised in a rich family, and as such, has the most expensive Pokè Ball. Eri uses a Heal Ball, a ball that heals Pokèmon caught with it instantly. This represents Eli's protectiveness and leadership role in the group, always making sure everybody is safe and having a good time. I'm not too sure about Atticus, who uses a Repeat Ball, though. Maybe it has to do with the fact they're a ninja and they're old-fashioned, hence using a ball that is stronger when catching already caught Pokèmon? These are just my thoughts, but I really like this aspect about their Pokè Balls and what it says about them.

[@DrPumpkinz]

Atticus has a Revavroom that isn't his car so maybe that's it? Or it's a reference to the trope of ninjas forming duplicates.

[@twilightfire93]

Since he's a Poison user, maybe the repeat damage from the Poison status effect. That's what a lot of people have been saying.

[@Taser9001]

I reckon it could be a reference to the repetitive training ninjas require to master the art of ninjutsu.

[@arthurlevi5403]

It could be Atticus' sharing nature?there's the scene where he goes to buy new matching ninja outfits for him and his cumpadre,so they are in repeat balls because he has extras for his friends

[@uberlord983]

I do adore the fact that Game Freak has sort of started normalizing the idea of other trainers canonically using other forms of Poke Balls, & not jusy them magically using the most basic form across the game.

[@EddyWriter_]

Team Star is up there with Team Skull as one of my favorite "evil" teams in all the mainline Pokemon games by far. Their stories just feel so much more realistic to me than most of the other evil team stories. Not that the other ones are bad - these two teams just hit home for me. And both Team Skull/Team Star's boss themes are amazing!

[@ethanhinton4549]

[@toooydoeur]

[@wingedbluj1674]

[@Kyumifun]

What's interesting is you don't see Team Star doing anything bad while Team Skull are acctually trying to cause trouble. Team Star aren't really trouble makers, it's the rumors of the bullies and the player's expectations that make this team look bad but in reality they don't do anything. Clavell only wants to make the team disband cause the bosses and other members of it are not attending the academy (alongside few other broken school rules). Cassiopeia wanted to disband it cause it's gone too far. The bosses are at the risk of being expelled and ppl believe TS is bad.

[@lexsombersunrise]

I'm in the minority of actually enjoying teams that have more to them rather than "we want to rule the world because our boss said so!". Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed ones like Plasma and Rocket, but I really like this take, too.

[@Keydicken]

As a "weird kid" who has kind of been an outcast compared to my peers, I really clicked with all of the Team Star leaders. I really love how they're just these alternative kids who just wanted to be themselves but couldn't unless they pushed back against their bullies. I find their storyline as a group to be sad yet realistic. I love these goobers.

Team Star has become a new favorite team of mine. They actually have depth and aren't just "I'm evil just because lol". Heck, they're not actually evil and are just a bunch of guys who got bullied and decided to stand up for themselves. Unfortunately, they are seen as the "bad guys" because of that, which is honestly more realistic than I thought a Pokemon game would get. Heck, the whole bullying problem felt very "real-world issue" for me, which is probably a reason why I like the story so much. That, and how your mindset goes from "Time to beat up the bad guys!" to "Am I the bad guy?" as you continue the story. At least that's what happened to me anyway.

Yeah, this is the first time fighting an evil team left a bad taste in my mouth. Team Skull had a rough go at it, but they were still bastards. Team Yell were a bunch of idiots trying to help someone who didn't want, or frankly need, their help. Team Star meanwhile are genuine victims of circumstance. What other evil team would have non-grunt trainers fight for them because one of the leaders is a friend of theirs? I was genuinely relieved when it turned out they could stay together and didn't have to disband.

Odd but cool fun fact for the bosses their personalities are kinda reflected in their pokeball choices... Mela is quick tenpered and uses quick balls to hold her team, Giacomo is a dj and uses time to nake a beat and keeps his team in timer balls, Atticus is old fashioned and repeats old traditions and keeps his team in repeat balls, Ortega is a rick boy and can live in the lap of luxury and keeps his team in luxury balls, and Eri is the most kind hearted and wants people she cares about to be healthy so she uses heal balls

Ngl, the last 3 "Evil teams" have been kinda boof. Team Flare's goal was to reset the world and eliminate whomever they deemeed unworthy, now that's pretty hardcore and most definitely evil. Then you have a group of wannabe gangsters, a fan club and now a group of delinquent students...

I still think Team Plasma was deeper, purely because the Liberation of Pokemon was, in my eyes, a much more sensitive topic, combined with the fact that Ghetsis fabricated that ideal just to get people to join. Plasma feels more mature, but credit to team star for being up there with their depth.

[@reamyst]

Tbh I think it was a great story, although the twist was obvious from the very start. The characters were pretty damn good, their backstories and motives were also very realistic and well-written, and the ending although again it *was* predictable, was still very good and positive, giving what they deserved from the very start. now, yeah, it aint innovative or anything like that, but i still really enjoyed everything in this story as it really reminded me of when i was in middle school and was bullied, always dreaming to have a friend group to fend off my bullies. so yeah, honestly i really liked this story and i think it was great!

I can't believe that Revavroom is such a based Pokemon that Giacomo composed a whole boss theme for them. Actually I can because Giacomo has VERY good tastes.

[@suchalem6686]

All of the team star boss battles are so crazy intense and I love it. The bosses are towering over you with a whole squad of goons cheering them on, the engines are revving, and you're in their turf. The first time I fought Giacomo and saw his GIANT CAR was his ace Pokemon, I realized Team Star was actually cool. Eri is probably my favorite since she kicked me in the shins and is easily the coolest looking one, probably even the coolest fighting type trainer.

[@lorddarkrai7712]

Team Star really is one of the most well written teams in the franchise like everyone feels so relatable in their own way and they’re not a standard “evil team” they’re just kids who need help but got in over their head (tbh if I were an actual person in the game I’d probably end up in team star)

Team Star was better than I expected it'd be by a long shot. Actually tell a genuinely interesting yet real story (but Pokemon) about how sometimes when kids are bullied, schools turn a blind eye, but when they stand up for themselves, are treated as the villain. In this case, they had reason to fight back, although maybe didn't do it the best way. Yet if the school stepped in, maybe they wouldn't have? Interesting story and while Penny being the Big Boss was expected as a twist by boss two, I loved it. HASTA LA VISTAR!
