I just love the fact that GF keeps the B/W feeling on the DLC, the songs is the clear example of that. It just feels like you are really in Unova.

[@VictorbrineSC]

Music theory is amazing at that. Each region has its own vibe and it really works well you translate a vibe into another game. Playing in BB Academy really feels like playing in Unova. In fact I could say it doesn't even feel like playing SV, you're literally playing a BW remake. .

Worth noting that due to the little flourishes at the start, the BB Academy Trainer theme seems to be based on BW2's version of the Trainer theme rather than BW1's!

[@d.charmony6698]

It's a mixture of both themes. The bassline is reminiscent of bw1's trainer theme.

[@Erableto]

BW and B2W2 use the same Trainer Battle Theme. The one different is the Wild Battle Theme (edit: maybe you're referring to the Subway version of the theme 🤔).

[@d.charmony6698]

@Erableto listen closely to the bass line of both themes! Bw2's is different and more upbeat compared to bw1's traditional disco(Masada) feel. I love it when gamefreak does little stuff like this!

[@luxrayblast]

If I had not gone back to play Gen 5 earlier this year, I don't think I'd have appreciated the Unova References. I probably would've held onto my hate toward BW for taking away Pokémon I was only starting to get to know at 13 years old. I was 11 when I gave Pokémon a chance, first game was Diamond. I feel like playing games I hadn't played in years, gave me a newfound appreciation for those titles. Diamond, while inferior to Platinum, I had no regrets finishing it before the remakes came out and I came out of it having FUN playing Diamond; so I ended up really enjoying the remake more than I would've if I had played Platinum. Same with W/W2. I hadn't beaten them in years and came close to finishing W2 once before, but, never crossed the finish line. But, this time, I committed to finishing it- IN CHALLENGE MODE. Challenge mode was.... a mixed bag. So, finishing the Unova games helped me appreciate Unova more.... also there were the Legends Arceus Pokémon like Basculegion, H. Braviary, H. Zoroark, W. Stripe Basculin, H. Zorua and Enamorus. Then the characters like Ingo & Lian.

@@RsWePVM I wouldn't say that. There have been some major failings recently, but aside from the bugs and development issues the games are still strong in theme, design, and narrative quality. It is a shame, as I do believe Scarlet/Violet would have been the best games in the franchise if they had taken the time to properly polish the titles, but the intersecting release demands of all aspects of the franchise, combined with the fact that they make too much money to require them to revaluate their approach to product production, does mean we have little hope of convincing the developers to slow their work for the sake of quality. We can only hope that a sense of professional pride in their work will one day drive developers to make much-needed changes to their design process.
