      Honestly true,But Red's Theme(Specifically Red in HG/SS) Is the one that I have Goosebumps,Red is literally Canonized as The Original Player,Seeing You as Ethan Battling Yourself As Red is Just Masterpiece.
      also it has the Motive of The Original Pokemon Theme in Red and Blue

      @kapparill this is my order of Champion themes, from most likeable to (still) likeable:
      Winners:
      1) Cynthia
      2) Diantha
      Chef's kiss:
      3) Volo
      4) N
      5) Geeta (this track is growing so quickly on me; previously it was #7 but now #5)
      6) Iris
      7) Lance
      Still amazing:
      8) Blue (JUST the beginning of the third rendition pulls this theme alone)
      9) Nemona
      10) Steven and Wallace
      11) Alder
      Still Good:
      12) Kukui
      13) Leon
      14) Hau

Because you'd think that she'd be champion if she was that rank instead of geeta, and considering she's the final battle of the gym leader path, I like to think she was intended to be the final battle, but somewhere along the way they decided to change it, and therefore giving larry a spot in the elite 4 to cover it up.
      I feel it'd been more homage to the Gen 1 style if they kept Nemona, and Geeta'd say Nemona was the final battle before you could become champion like how Lance does.

      Leon was definitely the showman, and his theme fit him well. I didn't really like his fight because he threw out rhyperior and it really stood no threat against my team, and because of that i couldn't take the fight as serious as i wanted to. Literally burned full restores to heal off the damage of an earthquake that did 20%, in a Pokémon with no set up just to laugh at it. Only to turn around and use that Pokémon to 2HKO it. Felt anticlimatic at the time, but I must admit his team did have style.

    I love how all the themes are, while still menacing since this is the Champion, rather upbeat and make you feel excited for the battle. It's the climax of your journey, the final battle as a trainer before you become champion, so there's a sense of celebration.

    So many good themes amongst these. The original Cynthia from DPPt and then the Volo adaptation from PL:A are both iconic themes with completely different dynamics. The XY World Champion theme is another personal favourite, thanks in part to following the VGC World Championships from that year (the BW version is also good, its much darker and grittier). And finally the Kukui SM theme, I remember concluding my first run at something like 2am with headphones and the nostalgia wave at the opening stuck so much for me.

  • @CapybaraFourteen

    i LOVE Blues theme, because its a perfect representation of himself. its threatening and fast paced, it even gets a little wild, almost like it's going to lose control of itself and all over the place. Just like Blue can be. Then it comes back together in a very bombastic way full of power and skill, which also describes Blue. He's genuinely one of the best trainers in the world, even though he can be erratic and hot headed. His champion theme (especially in Fire Red/Leaf Green) perfectly reflects his own personality.

  • @dreeg1896
    @dreeg1896 Před 9 měsíci +13

    I like a ton of these themes for different reasons. I’ll list my top 5 in reverse order.
    5) “You” from Sun/Moon
    This one is huge because… well, this time you really were the first to make it. The games reflect this in their brutal difficulty as well, this wasn’t an easy feat. If you’ve played every game in the series, you know how close you’d have come to being the first in RBY, but this time… you actually did it.
    4) Volo from Legends Arceus
    This one is honestly genuinely frightening. The piano is scary enough, but when he sends out spiritomb and suddenly you know what basically his whole team is going to be… it doesn’t help. Legends had a new gameplay style that made winning really only super feasible with equal or more Pokémon than the opponent. Having to fight that 6v8 is HARD.
    3)Blue, the World Champion
    Do I really have to explain why fighting the WORLD CHAMPION is huge? I didn’t think so. It feels tense and intimidating.
    2) Nemona
    Thank god she’s here, because Geeta is one of the most underwhelming and least thought out champions in history.
    Back to Nemona, the theme is INCREDIBLE. Victorious, full of energy, and, for once, an all out assault. For a trainer that loves battling as much as she does, you actually don’t get to battle her too much, but this final one really does make up for it.
    1)Red HGSS/B2W2
    This one… this one is something else. You aren’t fighting someone else. It’s not external this time. You’re fighting YOURSELF. You are proving your own growth as a trainer, as a person. In HGSS in particular you can really feel this. It’s a SHAME really that they made this theme shared with Lance, he doesn’t deserve this in the slightest, and it takes away from the idea that this is a theme for you.

I adore Iris's theme so so much even though I never played any Unova games, I love it because it is so fun and light helping determine that the champion isn't necessarily just an advisory but also invested in your growth as a trainer. Prof. Kukui's theme has all the proper thematic growth from Iris's in terms of the grandeur of establishing a new league and making it a competitive environment but also understanding and bursting with life. The Gen 9 themes are all over honestly because the AI Professor themes are SUCH bangers.

    Wow, listening to some of these themes back to back again made me hear a few songs from my past in kukui, hau, and Leon's theme. Kujui/Hau with the opening to the original games, and Leon's with the original "welcome to the hall of fame" song. It perfectly fits their place and style in the game.
    You're Alola's first champion. What better theme to start off as the first champion than the first song you hear to begin your adventure at the beginning of the series?
    Leon's theme fits so well with what you've accomplished in the game so far. The fact you're standing against the invincible Leon after saving the region from Eternitus is praise enough (i found his Rhyperior to be silly, but im not going to dunk on it right now)
    Nemona is probably the best rival in the series. Blue was always amazing, especially with that chip on his shoulder, but Nemona is the perfect blend of "in at the top of my game, i have nothing to prove, so losing is actually interesting, because this doesn't actually happen". I wanted a few more battles with her in the story than i got. Blue could be seen as an opportunist because of the way he catches you just before trying to heal and such, but being a Vicky and arrogant guy just didn't feel right for "I know I'm the best, I have nothing to prove". Compare that to Nemona.

    Technically the Professors theme from SV isn’t a champion theme but that’s my favourite last boss theme of all games.

    Fight me if you want, but i will die living by the fact that Sun/Moon and US/UM Champion themes are the best.
    Do they have as much nostalgia factor as others? No. Do they slap? HELL FREAKING YES

      I love iris's rainbow road from b2w2 but I can definitely appreciate the alola themes.

    Definitely a fan of Cynthia's OG theme!
    But also Steven/Wallace, Iris, and Diantha.
    Diantha's particular location + theme really looks and sounds like you're battling in a ballroom and it's an interesting thought to me. Like, don't scratch the floors TOO much!? xD Watch the chandelier!

      ​@@medicatedmayoyou could actually say that canonical terms, VOLO's theme remix for Cynthia was good, since Volo came first. And his theme, is his origin and hallmark 👀

    Blue is the first encounter with real ear
    Red is a silent but really threatening menace
    Cynthia is childhood trauma giving chills and atleast one tear everytime
    Diantha is a beautiful and epic battle
    Leon is entertainment
    Volo is encountering a primal evil threatening to destroy everything... mixed with childhood trauma

    I think Lance's theme is the perfect example of sound designers putting their brains together to make the most out of the NES's limited sound capabilities. Especially comparing it to the Gen 1 theme; they made it sound like the NES can play more simultaneous notes than it actually physically could.

      It’s the only full classical theme and it’s really good, the Melodies are perfect and the changes are great, the song really feels like you’re fighting an extremely strong, terrifying and dangerous oponent to the world

    Maybe it's the recency bias, but out of all of these themes, I found that Geeta's was THE COOLEST if not a contender for the best out of all of them. The opening using the main Pokémon theme is perfect, and the rest of the song captures both the fun of being a champion (like Leon's theme) and the seriousness of being the region's strongest (like Cynthia's theme) well.
    I also heard from another comment that one of the OG Gamefreak composers was retiring with Scarlet and Violet, and that Champion Geeta's theme may have been one of the last songs he'll ever composed, which is just the best way to end your career. Thank you Mr. Masuda (I looked the composer list up and I believe the composer was Mr. Junichi Masuda)

    • @Sherkel
      @Sherkel Před 10 měsíci +3

      Agreed completely! As for the artist ID, the composition has Masuda written all over it but it's definitely from Adachi's DAW.
