Battle! Piers [8-bit; VRC6] - Pokémon Sword and Shield
Вставка

- One of the few instances of a Pokemon track not being in 4/4 time, and what better choice for a gym leader who refuses to stick to the rules! Piers's theme was a lot of fun to work on, and I hope you'll enjoy the BASS.

8 gens later and we finally have a Dark Gym
Worth it
Actually 6 or 7 generations later because the 2nd generation introduced the Dark type
@@videodragon11 7 games 7 gyms
@@jackkoscheka7985 thanks
7 generations most likely, since there were no Dark-type in Gen 1.
@@videodragon11 But Karen is a member of Elite Four, not a gym leader.
I love how the entire fight he’s tapping the back of his heel to the beat of his theme
Ikr that's such a cool detail
Honestly I was confused why Piers got a unique theme from the other gym leaders. Then I realized it’s because he’s not just a gym leader, but also the “evil” team leader.
Not just that, he also stands out as a gym leader by not using dynamax
My heart always melts when I see smol Piers in my League cards
same cute af
he's cute af!!! ( ◜‿◝ )♡
The one dislike is from Chairman Rose for not being allowed to install his Dynamax thing under Spikemuth.
The power spots aren't installed. They're natural wells of Galar Particles that the region was rebuilt to be centralized around. Spikemuth is a relic of a bygone era of Galar's history.
@@Trelior I think that was the joke.
@@ryguy4465 was kinda vague for a joke, mind explaining? 🤔
@@Radnick0024 the no logic haha funny
SPIKEMUTH, ARE YOU READY TO _ROCK?_
"to keep Spikemuth alive, i step on to the scene...
PIERS IS THE KING!!"
"City lights don't shine so bright down here..."
"Daylight fades till only dark remains"
"Hear the sound the cry of the underground"
"In the shadows of your Darkest Day"
"To survive...."
"You hafta get mean"
Manontheinternet....
"This world sucker punches all who haven't had a fall"
I just remembered he had his own unique battle theme, and here you are making it even better! Wonderful job
I remembered when pokémon games had actual antagonists.
What does this have to do with anything lol
@@Mabra51 Rose:
He's tecnicaly an evil team leader
He is technically the evil team leader, no matter how nice he is or how incompetent the grunts are. Though it's been a while since the last threatening evil team; Team Skull and the Aether Foundation didn't pose a big direct threat to you or the region and gen 8s teams didn't do much to get in your way.
Ahh, yes the bad guys' leader who isn't really a bad guy.
They were never really the bad guys when you actually frame things more fully in the fact they're nothing more than a cheerleading squad.
On my second playthrough, I took that and the fact that Macro Cosmos were the real villains into mind. It's really kind of obvious. The Yell numbskulls only ever were in *your* way in particular. It's implied that they're in the way of the other competitors, but you only ever see Hop getting harassed by them. And that's only when you're nearby.
Pan over to Macro Cosmos. Rose *looks* innocent, and Oleana actually looked like the villain. Bede was a little prick, but he was a pawn. He got something of a redemption, but he still had a tinge of being a cunt when it was all said and done. At the climax, you learn that Rose is a moron with no sense of what's actually urgent for the power "crisis" and Oleana was just an overzealous boot licker. Her team was actually pretty poetic: Five symbols of beauty and an avatar of her true colors. She tried to hide her bad past with superficial shit, but at the end of the day, her Garbodor shows that she really just has a garbage outlook on things and how it shapes her personality.
Fast forward to Crown Tundra, and it shows that Rose - and, by extension, the rest of his family - really is more of a piece of shit than the main story let on. Peony isn't much brighter than his brother, I'd argue he's dumber, but he isn't malicious. He was a guy that was dealt a bad hand, and he really wanted to be a good father, but ended up smothering Peonia in overcompensation.
It's 2AM, and my brain has gone smooth in the middle of this dissertation. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Giovanni: HEY!!! THAT’S MY PLOT TWIST!!!
A shame this game didn't have any sort of voice acting. Getting an actual singer for this song would have been fantastic.
Man On The Internet made a Piers With lyrics and thats the closest we've gotten
@@Tomcat-qb4wt, and they are A M A Z I N G!!!!!
@@aura_flower3385 yeah
Or background vocals.roxie gets them but not the best boi in Galar??
You have his anime appearance for that
I remember first playing this game and thinking Piers was the Main antagonist when I saw him. Great work btw :)
Well he is the leader of the ""Evil team"" in this game, technically.
In the shadows
Of your darkest day!!!!
@@goroufromgenshin57107 Man on the internet?
@@Username-Ramdom yeah
Then it turns out he was just the squad leader for his sister's cheerleaders and the real big bad was a dipshit with no grasp on real urgency.
Seriously, Rose and Macro Cosmos were shit villains.
Piers’ back must hurt from carrying the entirety of the game.
All of the music carries the entire game for me lol.
copypaste comment
He doesn't carry the game.
@@guy_th18
Yeah, it is.
@@Mabra51
Well, to be completely honest, I do like Sword and Shield. The only bad aspects are the lack of National Dex and the “rough around the edges” graphics. My original comment is for the sake of making a joke.
LOVE IT!!! It's one of my favorite tracks from the game and this 8-bit remix is PERFECT!! Literally my jaw dropped 😍😍😍
Thank you Mixr! I appreciate it 😊
@@lumena-tan You should do River in a Desert or Peony's theme in 8-Bit. *THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!*
I remember when I first battled Piers, he was one of the only 2 battles I lost too in these games.
I than proceeded to eat a popsicle.
Good times
I see you needed to become cold-hearted to fight piers, GET IT
@@thefishpeople6781 >:D I respect that
whats the other battle? i lost to opal and leon
Had a popsicle, passed out in the snow
@@christakiger7419 bea
0:40 YOOOOOOOOOOO! This is the shit that keeps me subbed to your patreon, you keep giving us wonderful musical gifts 🎵
The best gym leader in galar
He's so good that he has his own theme separate from the other gym leaders
Best gym leader
Opal
Piers < Opal
Spike weave boy best boy
Just 2 things:
- 1 I absolutely adore your 8 Bit stuff.
- 2 Piers reminds me sooo much of Emet Squelch. The attitude, the hair, the energy.
I remember when I began to create my own region almost 2 years ago - even before Sword and Shield was announced, and had plans about more important figures like League Representatives: Gym Leaders, Elite Four Members and Grand Champion
One of the Gym Leaders was a grim male model - a Dark type specialist, who despite his negative attitude toward world, he had a kind heard and wasn't disrespecting anyone; evenmore - he deeply cared about people and Pokemon living in his city (even though he was aganist giving any autographs)
By the attitude, Piers is very similiar - both:
- are Dark type Gym Leaders of thier respectable regions
- have "artistic" jobs
- are grim
- are caring, even if it doesn't look like that
- are forminable opponents
- have a fanbase (Team Yell/girls)
- fight clean/fair-play
- are quite undderated
Quite... unexpectable, when I met Piers for the first time. The number of similarities was... huge
I was thinking whether GameFreak stole my ideas or something :D
(don't hate me on the last sentence; that was only a joke)
I remember Oleana was really similar to the Fire Leader I made for my region.
Oooh yes great animation and music in your style is just *Chef's kiss*
No gimmicks, lovable underdog, great brother, punk rock sensation
How can you not love Piers?
I've been waiting for this forever!
That animation at the beginning was smooth as hell btw
You seriously put an OVERWHELMING amount of effort into these videos! Not only do you do remixes, but these animations are freaking AMAZING
Ahhh piers Our first official Dark Type gym leader and has his own theme this is what I’ve been waiting for for so long
Top notch animation and music.
I can't ask for more satisfying work.
A GYM LEADER WITH A THEME THAT’S NOT JUST THE GYM THEME
I've been lied too
Man, so cool!! I think we can all agree that Piers has the best hair too. Like, how the hell did he get it spiky like that..?
I love this 8 bit *cry on the undergroud*
3Ds Piers... amazing idea!
The animations of his hands moving slightly with the microphone is fantastic, and it matches perfectly with the music
Piers looks like an octoling
I would pay my life savings for a Pokemon game in your style.
At this point, u deserve MORE subscribers. Keep up the good retro work!👏👏🤘😎
Thanks! Really appreciate this
This defintly sounds like the final boss of a Zone. Is just so fucking awesome
Piers(final poke): "This is it! You thought my best move was obstruct? Naw, this a real banger you gotta REALLY check out. Let's go, Hoopa Unbound! Desperado Eruption!
Lumena-tan back at it again with these great covers and epic animation.
THE DARK GYM LEADER PIERS
I loved this Gym because everything was great. It was great having a gym feel so out of the ordinary.

This looks amazing
I love this guy's hair, I just gotta say it.
BEST BOI
BASS noise is great XD
It feels as if you are in an actual concert.
Ngl Piers failed to carry out the juiciness in this soundtrack
Just sounds like a shovel knight boss theme, and I love it
this is AWESOME!!
NOW THATS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!! ✨✨✨
this 8bit work is perfect (for my standers at least) keep the great work
Wow the video quality is just as good as the switch lol
Who knew zebras had such good taste in music
Here it is

+1 Sub ^^
Let's go! one of my faves
I love this
OMG 😍, the music, the animation the two things are unique.
you could do the theme of the galarian legendary birds, I would love your version 👁👄👁
I missed u y'know... This is why I subscribes you know
Best remix
the time signature varies between 3/4 and 4/4 i think
The art is so good! I thought it was a 3d model 😱
Goodness you never dissapoint
Piers looks like he could be the one controlling a actual evil team
YAAAAAS-
This is everything I wanted
Banger Alert!!!
Awesome!!..
Yay its here!
The 6/8 battle theme we always dreamed of.
Piers 8bit theme is more pog than the original...well this is my opinion because I'm a sucker for 8-bit remixes
0:43 major Team Rocket HQ vibes
Family junes version ending. Just hear it.
🔥🔥🔥
Cheren and Bianca battle theme!!
I looked at the thumbnail and thought it was the actual model for a second LOL
It’s way better
Honestly, piers would have been the strongest gym leader in galar if dynamax didn’t exist. After all, he came so close to beating raihan during the league
Nice
quería mas movimientos de la animación, lo amoo 😭❤️❤️😍
That animation tho.
I love Pokémon sword
Without a doubt
is Piers easily in the top five sexiest male gym leaders? yes. contender for #1 tbh.
Nintendo has been very generous with cool punks lately.
hey super early pog
