Best Pokemon Music!!!

Time for the BEST Pokemon Music!

I HAD to make a video on this! Pokemon has made some of the best pieces over the years be it fun, emotional or preparing you for battle. Here's my top 10 favorite pieces of Pokemon music over the years and why and I KNOW we'll all agree on at least one of them.

I made sure to leave a video of all the music below each listing!!!

1. Marnie's Theme: Pokemon Sword & Shield

Marnie is one character in this pair of games that has her own music theme. It wasn't until my 3rd playthrough of Sword/Shield that I realized Marnie's theme in battle & outside of battle are the exact same! Outside of battle, Marnie's theme is nice & sweet, VERY toned down from her battle theme yet they carry the same melody. In battle, Marnie's theme blows you away as it's rock n' roll and energetic! You can tell that Marnie's brother is a Rockstar as it carried on over to her! I love the guitar in her battle theme & how the crowd, be it in a stadium or her entourage of fans, chants within the music. Hands down, Marnie's Battle theme is one of my all time favorite pieces of music in Pokemon as I want to chant along with the crowd, hit my hand upon something to match the beat & head rock.

2. Mirror B's Theme: Pokemon XD Gale Of Darkness

I intentionally wasn't capturing most of the Shadow Pokemon just so I could battle this dancing man!!! Mirror B was placed into this game as so if you accidentally didn't capture or killed off a Pokemon you were supposed to capture, you could fight Mirror B as a second chance to get said Pokemon. Mirror Bs theme is a total hit! I could listen & dance to it for hours. As Mirror B's theme is meant to be disco, or well, Mirror B's entire schtick is a man who loves dancing, music AND Pokemon that can dance. So of course you want to get down & dance with him! Plus, his character model actually dances in beat with the music too!

3. Pyrite Town: Pokemon Colosseum

It's simplistic yet effective. Pyrite Town is a run down town filled to the brim with criminals, thugs, crime & battle thirsty trainers. The theme consists of brass instruments, piano & snapping fingers at the forefront. It comes off as sneaky & Mischievous! I can just imagine a criminal popping out of the shadows casually snapping his fingers wherever he goes. The variety of instruments a piece of music has can have a great impact!

4. Relic Forest: Pokemon Colosseum

Yet another entry from Colosseum as it has some of the best soundtracks in Pokemon history, Relic Forest, the home of Celebi, is so serene & rewards the player if they stick around the area long enough. Once you initially enter the Forest, it's quiet & you hear the strings of a harp being strung. The longer you listen, the more the music grows! Soon more and more instruments join in, most prominently the flute, as it builds and builds to something so powerful and moving before mellowing out and restarting over again. When Relic Forest was featured again in Gale Of Darkness, the piece was altered with more emphasis on woodwinds BUT I love both versions of Relic Forest. Definitely one of the most powerful pieces Pokemon has given us.
