[@EthanOhlendorf-ml2ny]

Yeah, it’s really good, but kinda buried underneath more synthetic remixes, so sort of understandable. I had to dig through MOTI’s song credits to find this song myself

[@Frostburnphoenix]

If anyone is wondering how they make the clacking noise at 3:16 and haven't seen them or were to far away to see what they are doing, the string instrumentalists that are usually closest to the conductor use their bows in a most interesting way. There is a term for this and it is called "col legno". The traditional way of using a bow is by moving it back and forth across the string with the bow hairs (from a horse usually), which vibrates the string, thus producing a sound(there is more to it but thats for a later date). However, here at 3:16, the bow is flipped upside down so that the wooden(or carbon fiber) part of the bow is what strikes the string. By doing this and just smacking the string, the instrument makes a clacking sound.

[@Nailfut]

Frostburn Phoenix furthermore, "col legno" actually means with/through the wood

[@akulaunknown3384]

I can say, as a violinist, that’s not col legno. That’d be a massive percussion section, with sticks on drum edges. Col legno is much more subtle and does not sound that sharp and tappy. Also, notice the clicking is stereo, even though this isn’t really an edited recording, just electro acoustic. If they wanted col legno recorded in stereo on both sides, violins and cellos would have to both do col legno, and then the clicks would sound different to each other on each side. Probably just a massive percussion section, probably precisely recorded into the electronic backing of the orchestra (college violinist here)

[@thethundernado6670]

I honestly don't really understand what your talking about but I guess its cool

[@livin4thelamb499]

Do you have access to play the Pokemon: Symphonics's version of their main theme (the song that plays the at the start screens of the games)? I can't find any version of it that's simply the audio and not a recording of the concert. Also, they don't release a CD of their tracks, which is disappointing.

[@SSJ2LINK]

I saw this shit live in Pittsburgh and god damn; it is even more amazing. I fucking squealed because Dragon's Den is one of my all time favorite Pokemon Themes. Don't even get me started on Vs. Red... It was incredible.

[@Dahxelb]

HeartbrokenDreamerX3 I agree! Dragon's Den is an underrated piece of amazing music. It's so sad that it's only played in such a small location in the game. I wish there were more in the Dragon's Den to Do. Perhaps some deeper dragons cave thing to explore, like a "late-game" area similar to Whirl islands and Mt.Mortar, that would be unlocked with an additional HM or a "Dragon Key" Key item gained somewhere through the post-game. Or maybe a kind of "daycare" but only for a single, dragon-type Pokemon, making it slightly easier to raise those elusive dragon type Pokemon through their weaker, lower levels. Just some incentive to return to this awesome place.

If there's ever a real live action Pokémon movie (not the Detective Pikachu crap)... They can definitely use the songs from the games orchestrated. I mean, Dragon's Den is... Scary and intimidating. As it should be. And then, of course... VS. Red. Pure musical adrenaline.

[@Rihorama]

Dragon's den + Red? Srsly? That's Dragon's den + Lance. Why? Because it makes sense :)

[@Cha0s13erry]

but lance and red's theme are the same, basically red's theme is used by lance

[@Rihorama]

Since Lance got it first, I always think of it as of Lance's theme. But whatever, I get why people prefer to use "Red". The thing is that in the combination with Dragon's Den it's clearly about Lance, not about Red who has no connection to DD. I like to think of this piece as of a tribute to else so neglected and underrated champion of Johto+Kanto. I think he's a great character - responble and dutiful to his position. And he's been the most badass thing that happened to Pokemon anime so far - he was clearly pictured as a hero-idol there. I'm sorry the games couldn't set the same course and instead they make him an old bloke. Should he get the same attention Steven got in ORAS, I believe the fandom would change its mind :)

[@sir.matrix]

the name of the composition is "..." ,so yep its red theme because lance can talk XD

[@Ferelcapox7]

It's honestly just the Gen 2 Champion Theme. Since both Lance and Red are champions and have their battles in Gen 2, they get the champion theme for gen 2. Same with Steven and Wallace. The only exception is Gen 5 where N, Alder and Iris all have different themes.

[@TheXPERT891]
