[@goronbro7887]

The Village Bridge is a perfect example of the magic of gens 3-5 and what's missing from newer gens. In new games each town has a gym and a direct link to the main story. There are no places to explore. There are no Village Bridges, Fuego Ironworks, or Pacifidlog Towns. I miss the days when Pokemon games had exploration and felt like an adventure, not just getting from Point A to Point B.

[@Pikanyaasan]

Agreed. The only sizable optional area I remember exploring in any of the recent games (Wild Area doesn't count) was that hidden cave on Melemele Island in Sun/Moon, which was an enjoyable surprise. I missed it the first time around and went back when I saw a mention of it on a website.

[@veloxaflit]

So. This'll be yet another overlooked comment, which you, as a viewer, will scroll past, looking for more interesting comments. However, if you have the time to read what this odd Leafeon has to say, it'd be appreciated. Village bridge is based of Ponte Vecchio. This is an old, medieval bridge in Florence, Italy, over the Arno river. *Unova itself is based off New York, but you probably knew that.* _Village Bridge_, *as you also know*, is home to the _DARK_ musicians. That being, _Derleth_, the grass flute player. _Aickman_, the acoustic guitar player. _Russo_, the beatboxer. And _Koontz_, the Enka vocalist. These people have the same names as 4 real-life science-fiction writers. I also like to think that the Village Bridge is a sign of talent, due to the musicians all being together. Let us not forget that young girl practising her signing underneath the bridge. Village Bridge could also be a sign of peace. You know how Zangoose and Serviper are deadly enemies? Well, they'll fight together in the dark grass. Overall, I find Village Bridge to be a lovely place, and I'll often switch off my mind and listen to the music there. If you'd made it this far, here's a cookie *hands your favourite type of cookie over*. Have a great life! :)

I just found them in the comments on another video of the Village Bridge. As far as I understood it it's based on a real song and the lyrics are from the real song since pretty much the only intelligeble parts are "tasogare ojaji" and "koishikute" due to the hardware limitations of the DS. Of course I can't verify if the lyrics are correct since they were posted in the comments. And it seems the original video I found it in has been deleted unfortunately..

I was in the middle of playing this game when the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami happened. Everything became chaos for days, leading to weeks at the time, and Village Bridge always gave me a sense of peace and comfort. Even a little sadness. Whenever I hear this, it brings me right back to that time. It's one of my favorite themes in a game full of my favorites (I think Heart Gold and X&Y's soundtracks only just trail behind!). Truly magical, and how sad that they don't put this much care and detail into the games anymore.

[@whitesinnoh7094]

Why did you break up with her?

[@FlaskFlash]

BW and BW2 are objectively the best titles of the entire franchise, they had what most of third versions and all the 3DS lacked, and that's ambition. Not only did BW1 attempt to offer an actual story, not the greatest ever made in the jRPG realm, but for sure the best ever done in Pokémon, with memorable characters and a believable criminal team that used politics and propaganda to convince the people into release their Pokémon by their own will, making themselves the most dangerous criminal organization we've encountered because, to half the region, they weren't even a threat, but saviors. In fact, from some point of view, you were the villain. Why? Because of the message they've stablished. By fighting against Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Magma, Galaxy, etc., no one had doubts, you were fighting against criminals, the evil. His message was also universally bad: "steal and sell Pokémon; erase the universe; demolish the world to make a new one". By fighting Team Plasma instead, you was unintentionally positioning yourself against "Pokémon freedom". This is something that happens everyday in our real word, people who decide over others by using the power of the word and who make you look bad for fighting their ideology, while in fact you are just being able to discern their lies. What makes Team Plasma even more beliveable as a criminal organization is that at least half of its members TRULY believed in Ghechis false morals. N being the most iconic example of this, taking the Pokémon freedom mantra to heart and giving his best to achieve said goal, which for Ghechis was only a piece of an evil agenda. Then, for a gameplay perspective, they were the most ambitious entrys ever made. They included 157 or 158 new mons, most of them were great and a lot of them redefined the metagame and became staples of what competitive Pokémon still is nowadays. But the ones that really shine in terms or content are BW2, the only pokémon games directed by Takao Unno. To this day, the only Pokémon games with Difficulty Selector, interchangeable between versions. The only true sequels after GSC, that took the story of past BW and continued it, developing charactesr you already know about. The east part of the region was so full of content that you had more things to do than in GSC Kanto. Lots of legendaries with ingame locations, interchangeable regis areas, white forest and black city and you could get both of them in the same game, a very well constructed minigame in form of Pokéwood, Pokémon Avenue, which to that day was by far the best way of training Pokémon, i spent tons of hours talking with ppl and evolving locals in there, Pokémon World Tournament with almost every leader and champion in the series to fight against, move tutors, actual prices for topping the battle towers (in black city and white forest you receive a shiny dratini or gible as a price for defeating the leader), and a extra location with a shiny haxorus as price for fulfilling the national dex. I still remember embarking overseas and discovering an abandoned ship, just to fight against Coloress in a cool post-game high level battle and receive an extra Master Ball. It has the seassons with parts of the map that changed in summer, winter... And you could fight N with 4 totally different teams based on which season you were. Fuck, u haven't even catch the main legendary by the time u see the credits.

[@Pikanyaasan]

You explained BW2's brilliance excellently. No Pokemon game since BW2 in 2012 has felt complete, let alone overstuffed with content like BW2 was. This is what you end up with when you don't rush a game: near-perfection.

Year 10 dreaming of having Pokémon games as good as this

[@yourboy9432]

I love you for uploading this that really brings back memory’s and i even droped a manly tear

[@adrianrodriguez7685]

Haha

[@smithyethan6543]

Me too! Even though Gen 5 isn't my favorite, I can't get enough of the song itself. It's amazing!

[@peytonsharp6159]

Romaji: Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji. Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji. Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji. Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji. Aoi umi o nagamete wa namida, Aoi minato wa kamome tobi sa~tsu te. English: I am an old man, standing in the shadows; fascinated by seagulls. I am an old man, standing in the shadows; fascinated by seagulls. I am an old man, standing in the shadows; fascinated by seagulls. I am an old man, standing in the shadows; fascinated by seagulls. I considered the blue sea, I shed tears lamentanto and, while I miss the beautiful seagulls rise over the blue harbor. (not mine, i pasted them from a different vid)

[@StevenMix]

it isn't completly right.

[@budder9095]

Although some of the infamous Pokemon debuted in this region, gen 5 will always be special to me, since it was my first Pokemon game. The music was amazing, with this as one of my favourite Pokemon songs of all the games. I really can't wait for the remakes of these games, when it's announced eventually, I'm gonna try my damnedest to get it as soon as possible. I remember when I first heard this song and found the people, I just sat there, and the only reason I went there was for the music (as most people did too)

[@danngo1675]

Gen 5 wasn't my most favorite region, mostly because I thought that Black and White were very flawed. (AKA there was a Pokemon gym 8 cities in a row). I heard that B2/W2 are a drastic improvement, and I've also seen walkthroughs of it. Sadly, I have yet to play it since my family was in a financial struggle when it was released. However, despite the first BW's flaws, I really love the fact that you can build up the songs. This was one of my favorite features here. Oh, also the introduction of reusable TMs (God bless). If you haven't noticed, you can also build up the music in Accumula Town as well. Happy listening!

[@mach6893]

B2/W2 is fantastic!

[@42Caio]

Gen V is my favorite and I've been playing since Pokémon Blue. I just love the characters, the story, music and overall feel of the Unova. About the infamous pokémon, every region has it's dumb pokémon, people lash out so bad on Unova because B/W don't let you get old poké;mon until the post game. I had fun catching and training things I didn't know shit about, but some people were extremely upset they couldn't make the same team they've used for the past 10 years and speed through the game with it.

[@LegionIvory]

1:51 That ad lib though.

[@jonmartin43]

I would straight up go to bed, plug my DS in, and go here just to listen to the music. So awesome and beautiful

[@flamingtorrent2109]

The amount of times I’d go to this town, talk to all of them, lay down, place my DS on my chest, and close my eyes as i relax...

[@nuna_tm]

Songs been stuck in my head for at least four years now

[@jfish71]

It’s been over a decade since this game came out now. I had never known there was actual lyrics to this song. This game continues to amaze me in new ways, wow.

[@Nuggs-and-Fries]

Ive almost never been here, cuz its a straight line over to the next exit but i did like every bit of this place

[@pokeyume]

I started to play Pokémon white 2 this year just to visit the village bridge again. This song is a masterpiece

[@numnum6880]

When that NOSTALGIA hits you hard

[@starvinginfant8194]

This song makes me think of the good things in life.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

this tune is so soothing I actually fell asleep to it once

[@cadensherman1983]

Fun fact: I just recently deconstructed the files for this song for a project I'm doing. The file I ripped directly from the game files had 11 tracks, but two of them were unused and three of them were used for an echo effect. This entire song is made of only six true tracks, which is way less than any other song in the game. And somehow it still manages to be the best one.

[@cadensherman1983]

I like to think the unused tracks are the space the practicing girl under the bridge will take up once she's ready to sing.

[@hexedcrab]

sucks that we'll probably never get a feature like this let alone a pokemon game like this ever again. those cute little details that really make the world feel lived in that truly show the love and care and attention to detail put into them that has been thrown away in favour of rushed games. truly a terrible loss :(

[@vxxChristinaxxv]

These vocals haunt me xD

[@nietsnethceil4639]

they actually translate to something....he is speaking japanese

[@elementalquartet7276]

Same 😭

[@theseerllama]

the vocals are amazing, and what I came here for, but the beatboxing is so underrated

[@YangKoeteVODs]

I remember only knowing the beatboxer and singer existed...I found the grass whistle next and then assumed the guitar player added. It was so magical...

[@animegirlshinko5048]

I still come back to stand on this bridge and listen to this with my Zorua from Rood. (no I didn't evolve it because I love Zorua) ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@unsuunsu9952]

I did the exact same thing with my zorua and even took the time to level it up to 100 without evolving it. :o

[@argoabram8052]

Just as talking to people in village bridge makes the music more enjoyable so to does meeting new people and sometimes just having a friendly chat with strangers can enrich our lives in ways that we never would have known we could come to cherish

[@Xavious061]

This is single handedly the reason why gen 5 is better than gen 6. That and other reasons...

[@flippingraspberry]

I don't think single-handedly means what you think it means. But I concur.

[@bulldoggin12]

BW and B2/W2 had better music and a better plot than XY.

[@MsFlowerpower99]

This is all true, but what ruins it for me is the fudging encounter rate. I hate HATE HAATE running into Pokemon EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. It's like good lord go get a hobby, Frillish!

[@Raiko01]

yeah gen 6 doesnt have ♫ └༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┐♫ O E A E A U I E O E A ♫ └༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┐ ♫

[@pufflepuff8961]

also gen 6 is soulless

[@TheAxeWorld1]

The low bitrate just adds another layer of nostalgia to this song.

[@복福]

Most beautiful and peaceful town in pokemon

[@michelecastellotti9172]

Nostalgia: increases

[@beaccino]

I feel nostalgic listening to this. I used to go to this bridge everyday, and just stop to hear them sing. Now I'm grown up and going to college, and hearing this again makes me want to be a kid again.

[@kentsalcedo2524]

This music just gives me the feels. This game was the last one where Game Freak truly cared about the franchise.

[@alfiethomas5632]

If people hadn't shat on Black and White so much they might have kept caring for a bit longer

[@Shazam1998]

This actually makes me tear up. It just reminds me of how great Pokémon used to be, how much care and effort was put in. And now it feels like we're just slowly evolving backwards.

[@nicoheroesdx]

For some reason, I feel like the developers and composers had a really fun time, while creating the soundtrack for their game.

[@narutorey1]

ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji aoi umi o nagamete wa naki aoi minato wa kamome koishikute

[@sobrozae]

my favorite song of the entire franchise

[@julianham6133]

Whoever was sangin on this lol I heard it and was like hol up

[@theundyingfighter3147]

And people say Gen.5 is bad. It’s personally one of my favorites, considering it’s the first gen I played

[@BethanyMisty]

I couldn’t remember anything name wise about this song so I searched “pokemon black white old man song” and thank god it came up lmao

[@BethanyMisty]

Back again but this time I googled “Pokémon bridge song” lol

[@cupofrootbeer100]

i would leave my ds plugged in playing this while i did my homework way back when.. :')

[@sem_aki]

Hearing this man sing after finding leftovers it became one of my favorite routes in the series

[@fabiansusa7295]

I listen to this every day, brings back so many memories. Great song!

[@vicic6340]

You made this 8 years ago, but are still replying to comments, thats amazing. This is a great video.

[@Pikanyaasan]

This has only started picking up a steady increase in views in the last year or so, I assume from nostalgia. BW is timeless.

[@Revivalheb]

No one will probably read this, but this song holds a very dear place in my memories. It reminds me of what I was going through at the time. I thought I was finished with Pokemon after gen 3, but eventually, the trailer for B/W 2 dropped and I became intrigued. I got myself a 3DS and a copy of White in anticipation of the sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed White and found its story to be refreshing for a Pokemon game. Never before had a compelling story attracted my interest over its gameplay. So when I beat the game, I was a bit skeptical about how they would be able to top it in the sequel. But I was wrong. Black 2 was everything I wanted and more. It had so many new features and the most post-game content we've ever gotten to this date. The story was just as good as its predecessor. I don't think I've experienced the same feeling of nostalgia during my playthrough of those two games since then.

[@Pikanyaasan]

BW2 was peak ambition for Gamefreak. Terrific sound design, incredibly packed postgame, lots of side activites to do aside from the main story (PokeStar Studios, musical, Entralink, AND Dream World), the largest amount of unique, exporable space we've ever had in a Pokemon game, and still a great story. There will never be another game like it unless they abandon the 3-year game development cycle.
