I always slowed down to listen to this. No matter if the world was going to end, I'd walk through there. This should be played in airports in real life. It'd be perfect.
Yes!! It should be played in airports, what a fantastic idea, it also works when you're casually taking a walk or riding your bike calmly, particularly at night when the city is more quiet than usual.
I almost cried when I saw "Spring 2011"... My first pokemon game... It's still my favorite to this day. The music, the story, the 'mons, make it a true gaming experience. Just beautiful to come back and hear this.
Man, I remember my FIRST pokemon game. Diamond. I eventually bought Pearl and Platinum, just for my own collection. But man, I feel so sad when I think back to those moments. I can’t believe it’s been so long, and now I’m playing Pokemon Sword on a completely different device. Time flies.
9 years ago...Gen 4 was my first but Unova will always hold a special place in my heart for having my favourite games and being an unforgettable experience. I miss my childhood
This music feels... cold. Not in an emotionless sort of way, I mean... it reminds me of walking into a calm, quiet, air-conditioned room after the hustle-bustle and the noise of being outside on a hot summer day. It's refreshing.
The year is 2010. After a fun filled day of meeting up with your friends... going to their house and watching the latest Spongebob episodes on nick... trading your pokemon... playing local and online battles... doing a little summer reading... playing online MMOs... recording a youtube video of you and them performing skits for laughs... and finally finishing it off with a trip to the local convenience store, you decide to bike home and make it just before curfew, as the first autumn leaves fall in the distance, behind a warm palette of colors. When you walk into your room, you note the time... 7:48 PM. No lights are on except the TV you just turned on, with a quiet murmur of noise of a random channel. There's a window-mounted AC blasting a steady stream of cool air. Your parents are on the first floor chatting, while your room's upstairs, and your big bro, in the room next to you, is already asleep to some random MTV program. You turn on your DSi and play some of the story mode before you enter a gate area and drift off to sleep, knowing tomorrow's gonna be just as amazing. This is what this song says to me. Although I didn't quite get to experience this era of time, I always wish I was around for it. Nothing was really as extreme as it is now. Everything felt like it was going to end up in utopia, and in my eyes, it already was.
Probably the biggest one must come from Black and White 2. "Today we're dancing for no reason." "Someday we'll disappear for no reason." Gamefreak is running out of excuses these days.
This song captures the feeling of, “Hey, I know you’ve got a lot to do... but take a minute to slow down and breathe. Observe, think, maybe even pray... life’s busy, but you can still bring yourself to a place with peace.”
Makes me feel kinda sad-- like looking over events from afar when they're already done, ready to move on. Like waking up early to keep going on a road trip...
It's... such a calming tune. It says things. It says "even if your adventure is so exciting, take a little rest". You could feel the inexistent AC in these little passageways, with their little banks to sit on and their vending machines and the ladies behind the counters. It also says "even if the situation is catastrophic and it feels like the world is gonna end, use this little time to rest and prepare yourself for what's to come." To me, this is some of the best music to come out of the soundtrack for these games. I listen to it almost every day.
it’s hard to articulate. but the ds pokémon games both directly and indirectly said something about how difficult it is to live in a universe where all things end. and the sadness of the passing of time. I think we can all feel that in this music.
I use to play this on the speaker at a video game store I worked at! It always made me smile when people asked what Song this was or people taking out their phone and using Snapchat too find out
Honestly, I can't believe this UA-cam video is over 10 years old. I remember listening to this 10 years ago after playing Pokémon Black for the first time. Time flies man.
Time sure does, and hey would you look at that! Both of our comments, not even a day apart. I’m listening to this while writing a practice essay on how WW1 was the catalyst for the collapse of the Romanov Dynasty😂 but this theme bops, and is very calming to.
Its such a shame that the gate themes in the franchise dont get noticed considering youre not in it that long and when you do get forced to stay in it it happens to not be a gate that has the theme but instead the route theme or character theme that overrides it.
Where does time go... When these games came out, I was a 7 year old kid, who wanted to grow up so badly. Now I’m almost 16, I’m graduating high school in 2021, I’m starting to plan on going to college for film/acting, I’m going to start driving very soon, and I’m planning on moving out in a couple of years. As much as I’m excited for the future, sometimes I wish I could go back and relive 2010-2014 all over again 😢
Felt this. But you can always be a kid, go watch some of your favorite cartoons, play Pokémon again, or even hang out with childhood friends. Its really an awesome feeling! If not then I hope you have the best adventure ahead of you!
Theres such a strong finality to this song... its like, "you've done well, get some rest." Feels like I'm gonna be hearing this while I'm replaying my memories in the last moments of my life...
Everytime I hear this song I remember playing this game 12 or so years ago. Doing everything there was to do. Reading the news was one of those things a did everytime I passed through a gate... Good times.
I played this game in 2011… I have no words to express what I am feeling hearing this song. It literally brings me tears when I hear Black and White musics because they are so perfect ! They traduce every aspect of the region so perfectly. I remember playing the game when I was 7 years old, as a young and innocent children. Now, I’m 20 and I’m a responsible adult but it’s a pleasure to listen to this !!
Looking at it now I feel like Game Freak kinda wanted Generation 5 to be the last Games like they went Extra with pretty much everything It's the only Generation that got a Sequel, despite all the the Hate it got The End credits of Black and White felt so final. I could be completely wrong, but that's just how I receive it after the Quality dropped so much after these Games
The credits do feel final. The story itself, with N, Hilberet and Hilda all being 14 to be 16 in b/w2, it feels like it was a direct call out to the children who grew up with Red. I was 16 when b/w 1 came out, and it directly felt like Game Freak telling me I need to decide what to do in life, just like Cheren, N, and Bianca.
This track is fitting in airports. Whenever I’m traveling I listen to this at the airport getting from gate to gate. It’s really calming listening to this watching planes taxi on the tarmac.
Black/White was the last generation that felt like a real adventure to me. I loved the later ones, but they just didn't feel as expansive and open, especially sun and moon with a pokemon center around every corner on the routes. Gen 5 had massive areas that you had to go out of your way to discover and explore. Routes were often longer, with more trainers, with better AI, and more pokemon, and without friendship gimmicks or mega-evolution/Z-crystals that you had and opponents didn't. When you come through the gate after a route in gen 5, you actually had fainted or damaged pokemon. You actually had to pay attention and try. And that is what makes it so special to me.
It took me 9 years to figure this song existed. My favorite Pokémon game and I’d always just zoom right pass, guess that’s how life can be. Little parts can be missed and seeing them in the future can make a person feel better. Guess time really does fly when your having fun.
i live in Hong Kong and this song fits the border control point buildings perfectly, when crossing from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and vice versa. I heard something similar to this play in those buildings.
This melody makes me feel so nostalgic, it makes me go back to when I was just a kid... And I didn't have to worry about adult duties... I remember that I always rested here, and looked at my pokemon and their descriptions
My favorite theme in all of video games. When BW were the current games, I would always come to the gate to save the game before going to bed and would always read the billboard right after waking up before my mom took me to school
This makes for great background music virtually anywhere. They should consider licensing this music to places like shopping malls, hotels, etc. and use this in lieu of Muzak or something.
I’ve replayed black and white numerous times, starting in 2016 I replayed it every summer and this year I finished secondary (high) school and I think I’ve done my final play though now. I start college soon and I came to listen to this just to feel something. The whole idea of replaying BW1 (my first Pokémon game back in summer 2012) was no matter what I accomplish or become I’d always be coming back for another play through…
This is just beautiful music and if reshiram and zekrom were both crying I would play them this and this would help soothe them and calm them down and I would have a tissue and help them dry their tears away.
If this music isn't playing when I arrive at Heaven's gates (assuming I don't go to Hell), I'll be disappointed. I don't believe in either, but that would be my ideal entrance to Heaven. Black and White hold a very special place in my life. They were towards the end of my love for Pokémon, but they were one of the best instalments. It felt like I was leaving a part of my life behind. There was a loneliness to Black and White, but a contented one. Things had changed, but I was okay with it. It reminds me of friends you had good memories of, but they're no longer there. It's bittersweet. I knew when I heard this music in the game I'd miss it when it was all over. One of those rare tracks that made me sentimental for my journey even during the early stages, long before it was over. I'm not a big Pokémon guy anymore, but Black and White were very special. They were clean and tidy games, unlike the newer ones which in my opinion seem a bit messy from what I've seen. I think gen 5 was the last truly good generation.
You saying that honestly makes me feel so old lol, I’m basically older than every video on UA-cam (since I was born before UA-cam was even a thing). I barely turned 11 when this was posted, really hard to believe that Pokémon Black and White are already this old, seems like just yesterday I played through these games with an old childhood friend of mine and then beating him in Pokémon battles every time. Sometimes I wish I could just go back in time just to relive the good old days.
We never realized we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.
you just hit me with sand attack
So true
Sadly true 😞. Good (g)old times
I miss it.
2011 summer vibes :)
I always slowed down to listen to this. No matter if the world was going to end, I'd walk through there.
This should be played in airports in real life. It'd be perfect.
Also, god damn 2011?!
...
I feel old...
Yes!! It should be played in airports, what a fantastic idea, it also works when you're casually taking a walk or riding your bike calmly, particularly at night when the city is more quiet than usual.
Yeah! Airports and this song totally have the same vibe. Chill and relaxed, even in a modern setting.
Was walking through the airport today, remembered this song and played it and felt so right.
airports or meteo news sound amazing
Probably the most underrated song in the entire pokemon franchise and definitely one of my favorites
So relaxing
tbh I think nuvema town is less well known and deserves more attention
true boe
This and X/Y's gate theme.
@@Radyfrctn sun and moon's ferry terminal too is very nice
I almost cried when I saw "Spring 2011"... My first pokemon game... It's still my favorite to this day. The music, the story, the 'mons, make it a true gaming experience. Just beautiful to come back and hear this.
Mike D Me too man, me too... can’t believe it’s been 7 and a half years...
8 now
me too, i still have the special pokemon dsi i got with the game.
Man, I remember my FIRST pokemon game. Diamond. I eventually bought Pearl and Platinum, just for my own collection. But man, I feel so sad when I think back to those moments. I can’t believe it’s been so long, and now I’m playing Pokemon Sword on a completely different device. Time flies.

Funny how a theme called 'Gate' can open the door to so much nostalgia
True 😢
Probably the biggest one must come from Black and White 2.
"Today we're dancing for no reason."
"Someday we'll disappear for no reason."
Gamefreak is running out of excuses these days.
i always though it was funny.
Ironically Rillaboom's Gigantamax may have caused that.
This song captures the feeling of, “Hey, I know you’ve got a lot to do... but take a minute to slow down and breathe. Observe, think, maybe even pray... life’s busy, but you can still bring yourself to a place with peace.”
i love that. Thank you for sharing. :)
100th like
I never thought of that
Makes me feel kinda sad-- like looking over events from afar when they're already done, ready to move on. Like waking up early to keep going on a road trip...
Like passing through a gate maybe?
Fortnite
Wow...Spring 2011. 9 years ago.
Thank you Unova for the unforgettable experiences
And unforgettable memories :,)
12 now😢😢😢
14yrs…
It's... such a calming tune. It says things. It says "even if your adventure is so exciting, take a little rest". You could feel the inexistent AC in these little passageways, with their little banks to sit on and their vending machines and the ladies behind the counters. It also says "even if the situation is catastrophic and it feels like the world is gonna end, use this little time to rest and prepare yourself for what's to come."
To me, this is some of the best music to come out of the soundtrack for these games. I listen to it almost every day.
You got the feeling down perfectly, especially the part about the nonexistent AC, so true.
it’s hard to articulate. but the ds pokémon games both directly and indirectly said something about how difficult it is to live in a universe where all things end. and the sadness of the passing of time. I think we can all feel that in this music.
THIS SONG IS LIFE
Fax
Now I don't have to leave my DS open at night :D
Saves energy :D
I use to play this on the speaker at a video game store I worked at! It always made me smile when people asked what Song this was or people taking out their phone and using Snapchat too find out
If I work at a video game store I will do the same thing
@tim.m2 idk like 2021
Honestly, I can't believe this UA-cam video is over 10 years old. I remember listening to this 10 years ago after playing Pokémon Black for the first time. Time flies man.
Time sure does, and hey would you look at that! Both of our comments, not even a day apart. I’m listening to this while writing a practice essay on how WW1 was the catalyst for the collapse of the Romanov Dynasty😂 but this theme bops, and is very calming to.
I feel you man... where did the years go?
Aah it's just such a great music. Loved to stay there for a bit after a long route just staring at the screen and listening to this. So relaxing.
Its such a shame that the gate themes in the franchise dont get noticed considering youre not in it that long and when you do get forced to stay in it it happens to not be a gate that has the theme but instead the route theme or character theme that overrides it.
always feel sad listening to this
Sigh...i wish i could go back and relive playing this wonderful game again.. I just cant help but feel nostalgic about it.
+Super Birdy Bros Game Show Go get the Desmune and the rom, they're both free.
You can just select a new game if you want....
I have played White over 5 times with different teams. So much fun....
What do you mean Spring 2011... 😭
Where does time go... When these games came out, I was a 7 year old kid, who wanted to grow up so badly. Now I’m almost 16, I’m graduating high school in 2021, I’m starting to plan on going to college for film/acting, I’m going to start driving very soon, and I’m planning on moving out in a couple of years.

If you’re still in your childhood, and you’re reading this, please enjoy your years as a kid. They go by too fast.
im in university now and was 10 when i first played these games, how time flies
Valak Dunban so agree
Same I loved playing pokemon black when I was in first grade
Felt this. But you can always be a kid, go watch some of your favorite cartoons, play Pokémon again, or even hang out with childhood friends. Its really an awesome feeling! If not then I hope you have the best adventure ahead of you!

So much underrated, and even more relaxing.
Oh the nostalgia...
Looking at it now I feel like Game Freak kinda wanted Generation 5 to be the last Games
like they went Extra with pretty much everything
It's the only Generation that got a Sequel, despite all the the Hate it got
The End credits of Black and White felt so final.
I could be completely wrong, but that's just how I receive it after the Quality dropped so much after these Games
The credits do feel final. The story itself, with N, Hilberet and Hilda all being 14 to be 16 in b/w2, it feels like it was a direct call out to the children who grew up with Red. I was 16 when b/w 1 came out, and it directly felt like Game Freak telling me I need to decide what to do in life, just like Cheren, N, and Bianca.
Sounds like that Weather Network segment showing the weather of cities on a Google Earth-like map. I like it!
This track is fitting in airports. Whenever I’m traveling I listen to this at the airport getting from gate to gate. It’s really calming listening to this watching planes taxi on the tarmac.
This music is so soothing, it would be perfect anywhere really.
Peter Says: I agree!

Perfect airport music
Great Music For The Weather Channel!
This song feels like coming back home to your pet after having the worst day ever
I could fall asleep to this...
...zzz
It took me 9 years to figure this song existed. My favorite Pokémon game and I’d always just zoom right pass, guess that’s how life can be. Little parts can be missed and seeing them in the future can make a person feel better. Guess time really does fly when your having fun.
I basically only hear up to 0:04 because I want to move on so quickly.
Yup same, sometimes though.
Often when i get to gates in b/w1/2 i slow down and listen to the music.
its funny i saw ur comment on x and y gate theme haha
Yeah exactly, I was listening to this theme and couldn't place it because I've only ever heard like 3-4 seconds of it...had no idea it was so good
Man this is hitting me with a ton of nostalgia. Especially of the video saying spring 2011 and I just graduated on June 23rd. Where did the time go?
2024 and this still soothes my heart and soul. Best game from the franchise in my opinion! Team snivy too 👏🏼✨
time flies but 2011 felt like an eternity ago :(
I never noticed but I hear a bit of Corless's theme in this song.
Anybody else remember checking the news for harsh thunderstorms?
Just Tranquility .. 💥🌬❤
This helps me fall asleep at night. Thank you so much for uploading this.
How bout now
How bout now
Gate is chill its nice to see the light coming from both sides when you enter one
Man, I totally forgot this song, and now that I've heard it again, the memories are all flooding back
i live in Hong Kong and this song fits the border control point buildings perfectly, when crossing from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and vice versa. I heard something similar to this play in those buildings.
This is why Pokemon Black and White is underrated
Black and White really had the best OST in the series :D
Exam starting tomorrow, I’m insanely nervous for my first one, listening to this to feel something
Seriously Gen 5 is SOOO underrated
This melody makes me feel so nostalgic, it makes me go back to when I was just a kid...
And I didn't have to worry about adult duties...
I remember that I always rested here, and looked at my pokemon and their descriptions
I miss pokemon
i legit cried
Listening to this while waiting on your train in NYC hits different
My favorite theme in all of video games. When BW were the current games, I would always come to the gate to save the game before going to bed and would always read the billboard right after waking up before my mom took me to school
I was 4 when I first heard this, very nostalgic.
This is the best song ever to appear in a pokemon game, I just love it.
My favourites of the whole series are probably RBY Littleroot Town, HGSS Cerulean City and RBY Vermilion City.
This makes for great background music virtually anywhere.
They should consider licensing this music to places like shopping malls, hotels, etc. and use this in lieu of Muzak or something.
“Coming Spring 2011”
Good old times 😔

I got a real copy of black in 2014 but still up to the forest part, however I randomly got a wild shiny Oddish in it (from the 1 in 8196).
This is just beautiful music and if reshiram and zekrom were both crying I would play them this and this would help soothe them and calm them down and I would have a tissue and help them dry their tears away.

It's so relaxing...
Greetings and farewell 🤝
Ah yes the “Where the fuck is Tornadus/Thunderous” theme
underrated
I should’ve sat in the gates more often…
Can't believe that this has 10 years of age...
It's old enough to go on a Pokémon journey of its own.
Best tune in the game.
