Hello hello! Several months ago I took nominations for Pokemon game music to rate and rank. Im pretty knowledgeable about VGM, but Pokemon as a series had largely eluded me. My goal was to get a good sense of the best the series has to offer. 138 songs later, I feel like Ive achieved my goal! Im very pleased with the selections.

I rate VGM on a 0 to 10 scale in increments of 0.5. Heres the breakdown of songs:
10: 3 songs
9.5: 3
9: 10
8.5: 5
8: 6
7.5: 16
7: 16
6.5: 15
6: 18
5.5: 11
5: 5
4.5: 4
4: 7
3.5: 4
3: 1
2.5: 6
2: 4
1.5: 3
1: 1
And nothing below 1.

That gives us an average of 6.19. Pretty good! That might seem low, but if were treating 5 as average, the overall crop is above average. Also, I really really liked the songs at the top, so yay :)

Heres a spreadsheet that has:

• a sheet with every nom, with link, nominator, and composer(s) (thank Mycro for that!)
• a blank sheet where Ill post the songs as they fall
• a separate sheet with columns for nominators; songs will also be posted here as they fall, but there will be stats for average placement and rating per nominator

I think thats it. I just want to say again how pleased I am at the quality of the nominations. Not just quality diversity too. I honestly didnt know what to expect but I was seriously worried Id have to crap on everything. But this was good stuff! Thanks everyone. :)

Onward we go, to Pokemontown!

...but first, a small detour.
