Favorite pokemon Songs: Part 1

Favorite Evolution Themes

Pokémon had a brief moment of time where it fell out of my life, but it's back now and I've noticed that the music is completely awesome. I've been procrastinating on this list for a while now, but here it is, the Pokémon Evolution themes in order from least favorite to my absolute favorite song.

7.) Coming in at last place is the evolution theme from Generation 1 (Red, Blue, and Yellow.

I grew up with this generation of Pokémon the TV show, games, and movies. I had Pokémon Yellow when I was fairly little, before I really understood there's a lot more to the game than meets the eye. As a result of that, I struggled to play through this game. I never had friends who had link cables so I never traded with anyone other than siblings if they would even trade with me. There's a lot of nostalgia connected to the music in this and I put it in last place because even as a child, the music bothered me. I know they had limited software to work with and other people will disagree and say that Gen 1 is the best. Every generation has its flaws and for me one particular flaw was this song. It has nothing to do with the technology available at the time; I am going on how I reacted to hearing it over and over again. It wasn't often a Pokémon evolved, it made me happy to see the evolution, but on this list the evolution theme comes in last.

6.) At number six sits the theme from Gold, Silver, and Crystal aka Generation 2.

I never played this game, but other family members did. I have no emotional attachment to it so it should have gone below Gen 1, if this list was based off nostalgia it would be below Gen 1. With time comes improvements and more money, with the giant success of Gen 1 the developers were most likely able to compose the score for Generation 2 on better equipment, but that doesn't always mean it will sound better. However in this case it does because I like it more than Gen 1.

5.) Black and White's evolution theme is the number five pick for favorite themes. Originally HeartGold and SoulSilver took this spot, but due to the fact it sounds like it doesn't care Gen 5's evolution music was docked a point. I don't like how relaxed it feels, evolution is exciting! Depending on the type, its evolution level could be at like 30. That's a damn long time to be training a Pokémon and gathering badges. Black and White's song sounds like it doesn't really care about hyping up the player for their Pokémon changing form. 

4.) Deciding between HeartGold/SoulSilver and Diamond/Pear/Platinum's music was a hard thing to do. They have equally great evolution songs, but Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's evolution song took the number four spot. It doesn't have the same pulse to it as HeartGold and SoulSilver. 

I feel like it suffers from a lack of caring. I mean it sounds great but it just could be slightly better. Even though it has something missing to it, it is only a hair better than Black and White's evolution theme. 

3.) Number three goes to HeartGold and SoulSilver. Everything in this song is just perfect. I especially like the electric drums used in this song. The beat (despite it being the same as the original one from Gen 1) seems livelier in this version. I think I hit the replay button on this at least five times more after I finished making my points because I liked listening to it. 

 

Gen 4 is in competition with Gen 3 for best music overall in a Pokémon series, as in if I had to put them on a list of overall songs I think they'd be tied. I also don't own these games but I love listening to video game music sometimes. I find myself listening to both Gen 4 and Gen 3 on a regular basis.

2.) After skipping a generation I received Ruby and Sapphire. I loved the hell out of those games. I loved everything about it, except for the first time I ever played Ruby version it took forever to beat anything! I don't know what was so hard about it the first time I had it (the game was eventually stolen along with my red Gameboy Advance SP but then Christmases and birthdays happened and I owned new Pokémon games and a blue SP) but then when I played Sapphire it was easy.

I know I knocked Black and White before for how it felt slow and uncaring, but that was because it felt like it didn't care. Gen 3's song does the slow and caring aspect perfectly. It fills the listener with a slow anticipation which Black and White failed to do and that's why it is better than Gen 5's song.

1.) I love it and I love Pokémon Black and White 2's song just as much, it was very hard for me to knock it down to the number 2 spot. I thought since I looked past my nostalgia for Gen 1 then I could do it for Gen 3. When I put that nostalgia aside, Pokémon Black and White 2 took the number one spot on my list. 

Pokémon Black and White 2 has the best evolution theme. At first I thought Gen 3 had the better start to their song, but then Gen 6 just keeps building and building. Gen 3 doesn't really do that. Gen 3 kind of just starts out happy and fanfare-ish and stays that way. That's great and all, but with B&W2 I felt there was a little more suspense put into the song. It only beat out Gen 3 by a tiny hair, if I hadn't taken my nostalgia and fangirl goggles Gen 3 would most likely be in the top spot.

Tamashii Nations Day One Part 2

Due to the massive amount of news I decided to put the rest of day one news into a separate post.  Well lets get this started.

First we will finish off the remaining Figuarts that were announced later on the first day.  We can see a bunch of Kamen Rider Bikes which are the Ride Shooter (Ryuki), Den Bird (Den-O), Blade Spader (Blade), the original Cyclone (Ichigo), and the Zero Horn (Zeronos).  I personally dont collect the bikes because of their prices and that they take up too much space but its nice Bandai made these to go alongside the riders.  There were also special announcements of Iron Man and War Machine.  This is strange because Max Factory was already going to be making the Avenger Figmas but I guess you can't have too much Robert Downey Jr.  The last SHFs that were shown were other characters from Akibaranger such as Aoi-Chan and Delu Knight.

Mewtwo isn't the only D-Art that was shown at Tamashii Nations.  We also got a look at the final evolutions of the main three starters from Kanto; Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. Its great too see that they are finally going to make some more Pokemon D-Arts and I am curious what else they are going to bring out in the line. The Pokemon D-Arts weren't the only new D-Arts that were announced.  Megaman Fans should be happy to see that Bass and Tremble were announced as well.  Also in the picture though we can take a glimpse of the alternate Megaman forms that he becomes when he uses the other robot masters' powers.  Source: TokuAnimeNews via Rangerboard/ Tokunation

Even More Exclusive Wizard Figuarts and D-Arts Mewtwo?!

Tamashii has once again shown they are slightly paranoid on how to release SHFs because recently they announced that Hurricane and Land Styles will be joining Water Style as Tamashii Web Exclusives.  At this point we can clearly see just what happens when Bandai decides to market more forms on the show it transitions badly on the SHFs to the point making most of the forms exclusive or not even made at all. Land Style will be released next April at the price of 3675 yen while Hurricane Styles' details are unknown at the current time.  Source:TokuAnimeNews via Tokunation

We also got a surprising announcement for D-arts Mewtwo.  We knew some day a Pokemon Arts figure would be released eventually but Mewtwo was a complete surprise.  The only reason I think they chose him was because he was in Super Smash Bros Melee but other then that he looks pretty cool.  He will be a retail release next March at the price point of 3800 yen.  Source: TokuAnimeNews via Rangerboard
