Pokmon HeartGold/SoulSilver - Ice Cave
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rPcKPTiqx8
@NFUN
Junichi Masuda arr. Hitomi Sato

I will have more thoughts on this song when we get to the original GSC version, but this is very catchy, with added bells and whistles that make for good presentation. (These are the exact reasons I like the original more!) Not much to say about this its fine, I guess? Nice melody.

81.
Pokmon Colosseum - Semifinal Battle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RFW3dRzg_c
@Prody_Parrot
Tsukasa Tawada

I certainly prefer this over Cipher Peon Battle, but I still dont love it. The strongest aspect of the song for me is that out of control slap bass that puts in real work the entire time. Thats the backbone of the song. (Note that this is not the first time Ill prefer to a slap bass as the backbone of the song in this topic!)

80.
Pokmon Ranger: Guardian Signs - Faldera Volcano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ_bEELND7o
@NBIceman
Kenichi Koyano, SIGERO, Keisuke Oku

My note on this is catchier than it has any right to be. The low-quality instruments make me think the song is going to be similarly low-quality, but its got such a catchy melody that I cant help but get swept alone. I like the interplay of piano and drums.

Of those who nominated four tracks, only GavsEvans123 has all of their songs remaining.

Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky - Brine Cave
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5FWWhAlIRw
@Zyxyz0
Arata Iiyoshi, Hideki Sakamoto, Keisuke Ito, Ryoma Nakamura, Ken-ichi Saito

I feel kind of bad ranking these Mystery Dungeon songs kind of low. As Dire has pointed out, they seem to work very well in context, with (maybe) motifs that keep popping in. As standalone tracks theyre okay but lack that spark for me. This one I do like, despite being a happy song. Honestly if I had to redo this ranking, it would probably be a bit higher, at least 6.5. Sorry Zyx!

78.
Pokmon Masters - Battle! Lear
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pBKm2U-l9Q
@Hbthebattle
Haruki Yamada, Shota Kageyama

On first listen this appears to be a standard battle theme, but theres something extra about it. I think the overall presentation feels sharper than the average battle theme, like the instruments pop out more and the composition is smooth. Theres also a strong sense of hopelessness and fear. Still only a 6 though, because I yet again dont really connect strongly to it. Im sure youre all tired of hearing me say that.

77.
Pokmon Ranger: Guardian Signs - Riding on Legendary Beast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_906lWNGbM
Hbthebattle
Kenichi Koyano, SIGERO, Keisuke Oku

As I said above, this soundtracks instruments are kind of tinny and off-sounding, but this song and Faldera Volcano are both pretty cool! This song in particular is super catchy and brings this nice forward momentum all throughout.

We have now officially reached the point where I am actively enjoying listening to the songs. Hooray!

@NFUN
Hiroki Hashimoto, Hiroyuki Kawada, Rio Hamamoto, Taku Inoue, Torine, Yoshinori Hirai, Takafumi Sato, Mitsuhiro Kitadani, Yu Sugimoto

Nice Eastern-inspired grungy trance. Maybe a little too grungy for me, the way things are kind of distorted and twisted. This is certainly a unique nomination, and its one I do enjoy listening to, so hey, props for that!

75.
Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky - Vast Ice Mountain Peak
https://youtu.be/nvGvLsrtTvo
@Haste_2
Keisuke Ito

This is the last 6! Its another song with multiple things in it that fall just shy of being a keeper for me. Its got those Mystery Dungeon bells and that distinct blend of wistful and hopeful that I always associate with Mystery Dungeon.

6.5/10
74.
Pokmon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon - Ultra Necrozma Battle Music
https://youtu.be/NFTemk99fLU
Haste_2
Minako Adachi, Go Ichinose, Junichi Masuda, Tomoaki Oga

I didnt love the intro to this but I got on board around 0:45, when it started sounding like Castlevania boss music. Evil song, lots of organ and death vibes. 6.5s are when I start looking at do I put this on my phone and/or listen to it outside of this one topic, so congrats to this song for being the first one to fit that bill!

Ultra Necrozma is a song thats better in-context because it relies pretty heavily on earlier leitmotifs, so...

This is also true of Vast Ice Mountain Peak, for the record.

Pokmon Super Mystery Dungeon - A Warning to All Pokmon!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e36tby9VGPE
@Zigzagoon
Keisuke Ito, Yasuhiro Kawagoe, Noriko Murakami

Remember when I said I overinflate beginnings? I really like how this song begins, less so when it comes in with the strings, slightly less less so with the choir. There is a nice aura of mystery that still permeates the song and makes it feel almost like youre not supposed to be listening to it, so thats cool.

72.
Pokmon Quest - Hushed Highlands
https://youtu.be/wqbjUghbfAo
@Baconus_Yum
Teruo Taniguchi, Takahiro Eguchi, Fumihisa Tanaka, Shinji Hosoe

Those that know my taste can probably vouch for how much I love chiptunes. This is an example of a modern pseudochiptune thats designed to sound retro. These songs in particular I have a harder time with they all sort of sound the same to me. But Im more inclined to like chip, so it gets some bias points there.

71.
Pokmon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - Heavy Rainfall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Vq0Fmz46s
@FL81
Go Ichinose

My note for this was foreboding but goofy but short but fun. Theres something short and sweet about this sub-minute track. It doesnt overstay its welcome. But it also uses the RSE samples well, creating an atmosphere of tension (thats still goofy as hell because its the RSE samples).

Super Smash Bros. Wii U - Route 10 (Pokmon Black/White)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0vU9bIlko
@paulg235
Shota Kageyama arr. Yoko Shimomura

That accordion is super smooth and really spices up the track with a unique Shimomura flavor. I also really like how deliberate and slower this version is compared to the original. That said, I do prefer the original (which hasnt shown up yet!), but this is still a fun take on it. I like remixes/arrangements that do different things instead of just copying the originals verbatim.

69.
Pokmon Sword/Shield - Battle! (Macro Cosmos Rose)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lnUUGvhg08
@Toxtricity
Go Ichinose, Minako Adachi, Keita Okamoto

Originally this was a 3. Then I relistened several times and bumped it up to its current position. This is another example of a song I appreciate more than I connect with. Songs like that can still place highly, but this one is hampered by a barrier I have trouble breaching. I like how theres this undercurrent of menace all throughout, like Im being stalked by some evil Pokemon that can dissolve me with a goo beam or something.

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intently tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see

Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell 'em?

Video killed the radio star

Pokmon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - Lake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmznKTv74M
@loweffortmemes
Go Ichinose

A very lovely song. Feels like youre swimming in a, well, lake. Im less of a fan of the second part, when it gets all sprightly and bouncy; if it were just the most subdued section, this would be probably be much higher.

Pokmon X/Y - Gym Leader Battle

Junichi Masuda

who put f-zero in my pokemon

This is super unique and unlike anything else nominated. I actually like this more after it loops (this is an interesting reaction I have to some songs, probably based around the idea of repetition). I dont have a strong emotional reaction to it, but as Ive said before with some songs I like some of the things it does.

Pokmon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - Eterna Forest
https://youtu.be/y0Fg9xtjFxk
@SuperbVEVO

This is lovely, like Lake, but I docked some points for the shrillness of that flute sample. Yikes that thing isnt doing anyone any favors. The non-flute parts are actually really strong and I wish there were more of those. Also this song sounds like the DS startup noise.

I've said this before, but I definitely thought this would rank the highest out of all my nominations. Guess second highest isn't too far off, but wow was I wrong about Azalea Town haha. Well, it was that first part that made me think that you'd like the song, so I guess in a sense, I was fairly accurate about that.

Theres like this entire subset of Pokemon music that sounds like this: very crystally, straight out of Mega Man X8 or something. I like how this feels kind of like victory music, like a parade after youve defeated some boss or something.

Is it weird that I dont find this song creepy? I find it more sad than anything. Like youre at a funeral for someone who died too young. I actually used Pokemon Tower in a list, which is a similar song to this not sure which one I prefer more. I guess this is one of the more iconic songs in the series, maybe because of the lore surrounding it. Its good! Sad and a little spooky.

More crystally type stuff, but this is a very different song from Gateway Colosseum. This is more mysterious and underwater deep sea diving. I like the overall feel of this, especially right before the loop, where there are squeaks that almost sound like distorted vocals.

The last 6.5! This is another section that I feel like I should like more than I do. There is kooky percussion and weird chiptune stuff, and theres like a two-second sea shanty at one point. Very neat song but, like most of the 6.5s, its missing that difficult-to-quantify connection.

Pokmon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - Mt. Pyre Outer Wall

Go Ichinose

This was originally like a 2.5 or 3 or something on the initial listen, but I kept coming back to it and liking it more and more. Its got an interesting melody and it puts those...iffy RSE samples to good use.

Looking it over, this is the highest ranking song from the original RSE. There are two songs still to come from ORAS. I didnt realize how low I ranked most of the songs from RSE! I guess they just didnt interest me as much as some of the other games soundtracks, and I honestly wasnt feeling the weird trumpets that much. I originally had lots of songs from GSC ranked low, but they got bumped up with relistens and I guess RSE either stayed at the bottom or got knocked down to the bottom. Ah well.

Go Ichinose

Im a sucker for this sort of traditional Asian song. I really like how this starts, and if it continued in that vein with more like woodblocky stuff, it would probably rank higher. But its pretty unique. I also really like the brief weird meter toward the loop point, when the song speeds up and kind of loses itself for a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFWk2HMaV3k

Pretty standard rousing battle theme, but this ones pretty fun. Its almost laidback at parts, probably because youre fighting a friend and not a rival or a giant Pokemon that can make mountains collapse or some nonsense. This feels like the theme of a good, clean fight, and I respect that.

For some reason, the RSE soundtrack really resonates in my head, but if you'd ask me to name songs I actually like I would probably only mention the Wild Pokemon Encounter, Lilycove and Surfing theme (best in the series!). Oh, and Route 113 as well (and I do like Mt Pyre outer wall, though in spite of its uniqueness, it isn't really memorable to me, if that makes sense).

It's just such a great, great region to explore, and I think the OST kind of helps with that. I always loved, for example, the "dive" theme. And Route 113, and Meteor Falls. And Sootopolis is one of my favourite concepts for a city.

When I was rating everything, I originally had a song at last place a 1.5 that I thought would piss people off, because of how iconic it was. It was this song. But during the relisten, it really clicked for me in a very profound way. Its more than a normal battle theme theres definitely a sense of ominous dread, like youre up against a huge obstacle you dont know if you can get past. Thats super neat.

Almost all of the remaining GSC songs started out pretty low, but got bumped up on relisten.

I always felt like the big plot twist that you battle Red at the end of GSC must have been incredible for kids.

This has lots of elements I would normally like all those trills in the background, the unique interplay of different elements. Its only not higher because I find the trumpet annoying (reminds me of the RSE samples) and the chimes are too loud. Otherwise, this is a cool track! One of the more unique noms for sure.

Pretty straightforward song that makes all the expected moves but still manages to tug at my heartstrings. Nothing too elaborate or unique here, just a solid tearjerker. Nothing wrong with that!

Moody pianocentric song. I especially like the part at 0:40 when the meter gets all, stuttery. And I also like how it sort of picks up in mood and tempo halfway through the loop before seguing back into the moody (not sad, just moody) parts. Very cool.

To me it's maybe the best boss fight in videogames. It was such a good idea, and he was so high-levelled that he was fiendishly difficult as a kid.
