Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - Gym Leader Battle Music (HQ)

This play when you are challenging Gym Leaders in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. They have different section and I was able to record them all.
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.

Shoutouts to Iono for being the only gym leader that uses their pokemon's tera type intelligently. In so many gym battles, I'll clobber all the gym leader's other pokemon with one attacking type. Then, they send out something that could actually beat that attacking type, but immediately turn it into the same type I had type advantage on in the first place. Then there's Iono, using tera electric and Levitate together.

[@Sherok_Sama]

Another exception would be Larry since hus Tera Type boost the normal stab staraptor already has. Plus since it still has flying stab, he can counter fighting types pretty easily

@@Sherok_Sama Larry was actually one of the gym leaders I also blew up with a single attacking type. Didn't matter that he had flying coverage, because my Agility boosted Gallade was faster than his Staraptor.

​@@MangoBitts12 To be fair when compared to regular dynamic music, where the song changes slightly depending on the situation, B/W did it a bit too aggresively that I don't know if it counts or not. Sure, technically the fact that the music changes when you are low on HP or it's the gym leader's last Pokemon counts as dynamic, but there's no real connection between them and the regular music that was playing, they just start playing.

despite all the glitches and bugs with this game, it’s genuinely one of my favourites. playing pokemon scarlet is probably the most fun i’ve had in a while

[@dazed-fate]

I honestly agree i mean i get it the games have problems but like aside from that i would agree that these are by far the best in the serious at least characters and story wise. It's been years since we had a good pokemon game come out since black and white because in my honest opinion nothing after black and white was that great till scarlet and violet , i will continue to play these games over and over like i did with black and white and ruby and sapphire and i can't wait for the DLCs hopefully we can pray they iron out the issues with the game before hand.

[@ZorillaMyrid181]

I hope they take their time with the next few games and focus on squashing bugs and adding smaller details, I haven't enjoyed pokemon this much since my first game (which was admittedly Sun, but I did play Y as well) and the fully open world format fits pokemon so well

[@icebearlikestrains6238]

i think people get too caught up on whether the games are well made or "objectively" good. i find them to be some of the most fun games in the series with a ton of stuff to do. the story took me by surprise by being one of the more dynamic ones with multiple plots going on at the same time. yes, they are a glitchy mess, and yes, i think game freak should slow down their development, but i think it's become an annoying trend to just hate on any new pokemon game that comes out because that's what everyone else does

[@vulturesalesman]

​@@icebearlikestrains6238to be fair we shouldn't be getting a glitchy, laggy mess of a game from the highest grossing media franchise in the world, so that criticism is completely valid. I think the games were still fun, but they definitely needed more time and polish. I also didn't really like some of the story or characters personally, and the fact the games aren't truly open world due to the lack of level caps or incentive to challenge harder gyms earlier actively hurts them. They're not terrible games by any means, but still not amazing. They're perfectly fine experiences, but we should be getting more from, again, the highest grossing media franchise.

You clould say it can make some poses for sculptures, paintings or other art pieces since it can stand still for a long time. Iono has Mismagius but i guess it's like a magical girl thing? Something something cute loli streamer. The Mismagius has levitate as an ability to remove it's weaknesses, has hex to take advantage of paralizi g the opponent and spams charge beam to buff its Special Attack. Staraptor is a final form of an early route normal bird. It also knows Facade which is a TM Larry gives you after battle making a comment about how we should make a good use of it and not make the description of our life.... Poor guy... Ryme is a rap god and has a Toxtricity which isn't specifically a rapping Pokémon but looks edgy enough. I like how the idea of her being a ghost type specjalist is her rapping "being so good even the dead wake up" taken litterally. Love that one Greavard that's grooving in the background on top of a big speaker. Grusha has Altaria. Normally it's very weak to ice but he uses it's weakness as an advantage. Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder and iirc there's a trick in snowboarding called Cloud Nine which just so happens to be Altaria's Hidden Ability. Altaria's fluffy body is white like snow too, useful as a camouflage in snowy environments. And finally there's Tulip and her Florges. I think this one should be obvious. Florges is about looking pretty in a way. Flowers are pretty, so is Florges and the gardens it takes care of. Florges is also based on certain greek mythological fairies that would do pretty much the same. Why a psychic type and not like fairy? No idea, maybe it's about how beauty is in the eyes of the viewer, beauty is objective, beauty is how we act etc.

Mismagius just kind of looks right for Iono. Crabominable fits the “buffed” theme of Kofu. Stararaptor foreshadows Larry’s switch to Flying types. Toxtricity is PERFECT for Ryme’s “drop the beat” feel. Florges is a flower. Tulip is completely about flowers. Altaria is bundled up in fluffy gear, just like Grusha. Just speculations, but these do seem to fit.

Mismagius is known for hypnotizing its victims- like how Iono hypnotizes her audience with her streams. Just remember Iono's catchphrase: "Your eyes are mine! Caught in my Electoweb!"

[@yukiyadacosta]

I think a reference that flew everyones heads since i dont see too many people talking about it its the fact that Brassius is a Brazilian reference. I becomes more clear if you speak his name like Bra-Zeeus, which is the way that most brazilians would speak his name on the fly. Also his gym name is a pretty reference too because Artazon Gym is basically Art + Amazon, it makes sense cuz hes a artist and also likes the nature

[@rasmusmalmberg6468]

Okay but the human designs this gen are amazing. Galactic slay tbh

[@fightinggamegeek9238]

Fr. I love how the gym leaders’ designs aren’t necessarily “In-your-face”. Like Ryme’s dreads are in the shape of a skeleton arm at the front and a pelvis at the back. However, it’s not that obvious what her typing is. She doesn’t even wear purple, which many ghost type gym leaders before her have worn. And while Larry’s obviously the normal-type gym leader, there are small subtle clues in his design of what his E4 typing is. His tie looks like a cloudy sky, and he has those “flyaway” wisps of hair. I love how kind of a red herring Tulip’s design is. Because she’s more dressed in pinks and the wings of her shoes look like fairy wings, you’d think she’d be the fairy type gym leader. But nope, she’s the psychic type gym leader.

[@SJSALT]

@bloemkoolendestreetgang450 Nice opinion bro! I won't shit on yours like you did mine. We both love Pokémon and that's awesome! 😜

[@trainerlsw]

I like how they take advantage of each of the different typings. Katy’s Teddiursa/Ursaring turning into Bug types switches their weakness of Fighting into a resistance, and allows them to take advantage of Pounce. Brassius’ Sudowoodo turns into a Grass type to counter Water types, especially with the new move, Trailblaze, getting the Tera boost. Iono’s Mismagius getting the Electric typing paired with its Levitate ability makes it have no weaknesses, making it a dangerous threat. Especially with Tera boosted Charge Beam increasing its Sp ATK. Kofu’s Crabomidable becoming Water type allows it to counter Fire types with Tera boosted Crabhammer. Larry’s Staraptor removes its Flying typing by terastallizing into a pure Normal type, and also powers up its Stab boosted Facade. Ryme’s Toxtricity removes the many weaknesses of Poison and Electric by becoming Ghost type, and gets a Tera boost to its Hex. Tulip’s Florges becoming Psychic threatens the Poison type, known for countering Fairy types, with Tera boosted Psychic. Grusha’s Altaria becomes an Ice type to threaten its fellow dragons with Tera boosted Ice Beam.

[@Oscarus4250]

The only problem with this is that their Tera Types are the same as their specialities, so... While in most battle situations those make sense, in Gym Battles and other MonoTeam Confrontations, those are a little too predictable

Iono and larry were defiantly the two gym leaders who seem to have gotten the most screen time Iono with her whole Vtube vibe trail and Larry not only being a gym leader but also an elite four member as well all the other's just felt like they were there well ryme had her little concert at the start but it was still nothing compared to the other two. I also like how our school director was just wondering around Iono's town and she scouted him to help with the gym trail and he just went along with it while having fun

I fucking love the progression of the battle theme. It actually feels immersive. This was the first pokemon game ive played in a long time. When the gym leader pulls out their ace and the chanting starts it almost brings a tear to my eye and i get so hyped up. For some reason it brings me all the way back to being a kid, playing gen 1. A lot of people gave this game crap, but personally I think they did an amazing job with this gen. From the storytelling to the music to the environment, and the unique characters- definitely a great game imo.

I like that they are treating being a gym leader as a job, with all the hiearchy and maybe even corporativeness about it, you can tell the leaders make a living out of it and it doesn't have all that big sport gen 8 vibe that I didn't really dig. like any job, they seem to know the inside working and issues of the pokémon league while people outside are oblivious about it. it's a very mature feeling, maybe even conflituous, with how their boss is really strict on management and several leaders seem to have a problem with her. I hope all that institutional conflict is developed in the additional story.

[@KoalaTulip47]

I agree, pretty refreshing for the world of Pokemon to have something like this.

[@Mikescool444]

Probably the best part. Not only do the gym leaders feel a lot more down to earth, what with the actual “gyms” being nothing more than an office space for assistants and signing up for gym challenges. In addition, it feels so natural how the towns have the challenges incorporated into the daily life of people living there, like with the seafood market in Porto marinada, or the snowboarding course on the mountain.

[@AurorasAura4417]
