11:45 - I can't stop listening to this, I love Silver so much AND THIS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. 37:09 - Intense music for a level 7 purrloin. 39:40 - do I need to say anything about this masterpiece? 42:07 - My Hugh obsession is kicking IN!! 48:55 Yes, he's an Edglord. Do I care? No. BECAUSE THIS BASS FREAKING ROCKS!!
@@X-3181 Oh I heard he did Nemona's theme. I never saw an official list of what he worked on but someone on UA-cam credited it to him, they sourced something but I didn't look at it
@@OfficialJab Every scarlet and violet song is credited to Toby Fox by random people, when Toby only did 4 songs, 2 of those songs he did with Go ichinose
@@reycat7389 Enemy would include every antagonist, so not just N. And Friends would include at minimum 100 more characters. Rivals other main protagonists would work.
Top 10 for me: 10. Marnie Battle Theme 9. ORAS Wally Theme 8. Hugh Theme 7. Gladion Theme 6. HGSS Silver Theme 5. Blue Theme 4. Kalos Rivals Theme (as easy as they are, theme is kinda a bop) 3. Hop 2nd Battle Theme 2. N Final Battle Theme 1. Nemona Final Battle Theme
Regardless of how the games do. Sinnoh will always hold a special place as THE origin region. The styling is just unlike any other generation, being the perfect balance between traditional and modern.
After playing SV, here's my best Pokemon Rivals top 10: 1. N (Black and White) 2. Silver (GS/HGSS) 3. Blue (RB/FRLG) 4. Arven (Scarlet and Violet) 5. Barry (DP/BDSP) 6. Gladion (Sun and Moon) 7. Wally (RS/ORAS) 8. Hugh (Black 2 and White 2) 9. Cheren (Black and White)
The thing I like about the Kanto and Johto rival themes is that they make it feel like the battle has stakes. That your rival is a threat to you and your goals. Many of the other themes make the rival battles seem like a fun little challenge and nothing more.
Arven and Penny aren't rivals. N is. So i'm not sure why Arven is here but not Penny it really makes no sense. I also dont get why we have both versions of Nemona's theme but not both versions of Marniw's theme and stuff
If you look on the bulbapedia page on rivals it shows Wally and May/Brendan as rivals in the Hoenn games, N, Cheren and Bianca as the rivals in BW, Hugh as the only rival in B2W2, but Nemona as the only rival in SV
All themes tier list S| ☆Silver☆ | A| May | Hugh | Gladion | B| Blue | Wally | Akari | Hau |All themes of Galar | C| Berry | N | Bianca | Nemona | D| Kalos r
Hoenn and Sinnoh pretty much always have my fave themes, tbh. As someone who is super into the music in these games, if the main fights (rival, enemy teams + leader, gym leaders, e4, champion, legendaries) don't have epic music (imo), then I just don't enjoy the games as much. RSE blew it out of the park, and even more so with the actual Battle Frontier instead of just the Tower (why that wasn't brought back in ORAS, idk and it's a crime). And of course, DPP did even more so with the Champion theme. Swsh was a totally forgettable experience for me, simply due to the fact I only enjoyed ONE major theme song: Gym leader. SV is doing better from what I've been listening to (I didn't want to spoil myself, even regarding music, but at this rate, I might as well) so at least despite the gym leader music being total bogus to me, I enjoy some of the others, such as enemy team and one of the special groups (forgot if it was the Titans or another one).

@@X-3181 can you word this better, it makes it sound like shrek became a champion
@@marcothepucci penny is an "evil team boss" theme
Wally's theme in Pokemon Ruby is just a trainer battle theme... but in gen 6... OH BOY HIS THEME IS SO GOOD!!!
And then his superboss matches went back to the generic trainer music
So is Bill's normally until you fight him as the champion
Tho Willy's theme sounds good yeah, but when playing it just doesn't feel like it fits Pokémon really well, it sounds more of a fighting game than a jrpg
You should listen to the Pokémon masters version of it🙌
I remember hearing that for the very first time back in 2014 and losing my damn mind over Wally having his own theme
“oh boy” 🤓
I know hop was a pretty crummy rival, but his theme almost always makes me want to cheer for him xD great fun tune
Hop is is strong, but we’re stronger

Man im crying, i love this franchise so much dude, the music is so good!
Yes
U amd me both brother 👌🥰
So glad to see a new one of these now that Gen 9 has been released!
And also glad to see you still kept the gradient idea!
I didn't even notice the gradient before, that's so cool!
Man, I love the theme from Legends Arceus
Soul Silver Silver Still S Tier even after 14 years!

Oh I will!
"""evolution"""
I have to register my support for Gladion's *fantastic* bassline.
Good to see a more complete compilation, including the remakes is nice
I’m mad disappointed that the elite battle themes for Marnie and Bede got left out of this. They’re so good and were unjustly left out of this video.
I guess that's because those themes were meant to be for when they became elite 4
@@vico2788 But they weren’t in the Elite 4 themes video, either
1. Bede doesn’t have a second theme. 2. Marnies elite battle theme is in but there is not timestamp
@@phntmthf5505 bede was in the e4 video, bewilderingly, even though hes not a member of the elite 4, his theme doesn't change from his original, and marnie and hops championship battle themes are not in there either
I mean technically Marnie took Piers’ place as Gym Leader, so that would’ve been her Gym Leader theme instead of a Rival theme.
All the gen 5 rival themes bring back good memories.
Cheren/Bianca 🔥 brings back so much memories
Real only rivals who also battle us so many times especially Cheren with the “STOP you have the __ badge, I have the __ badge, let’s battle” 😂❤
Man, I just love Gladion theme. I miss that while playing vgc
hugh theme is amazing! 5th gen my favorite
best rivals are blue, silver, and barry and im willing to die on that hill (and no, i dont mean music-wise, but in silver's case it's both character and music)
good thing you included barry on the list, if you didnt hes gonna fine you 10 million pd and smash a door into you
I cannot express how happy I am with how they did the Gen 9 rivals. They’re such good characters and their themes are TOP TIER. Nfoahdosnsodnsojssonsksjdishsofnsinddijeidhfdjbd
ua-cam.com/video/eaeZ3RrzpLA/v-deo.html
Facts
Arven’s theme sounds like the final boss of a cooking show and I couldn’t be happier.
Hoenn rival theme easily the best song in all of Pokémon soundtracks
It’s up there and so underrated, the beginning is just so good!
Gen 3 has the worst music not even close to the best. Silver, N, Hugh, Gladion and Bedes theme solos 😂
Leave IMMEDIATELY. Gen 2 original all day
Unless you are talking about Wally's theme from the remake, No.
If you don't wanna feel bad, just don't see these comments and chat in youtube
Mans came straight to work, appreciate the music compilations always!!
Gladion's theme is absolutely my favorite
Its always the trumpets of gen 3 for me 🔥
Gen 1 🔥👌
I like that some games give you multiple rivals (5,6,8,and9), gives more themes
The ego, the drip, the entourage, the money, the versatile arsenal... I'm going old school... Gary 'motherf***ing' Oak! The only rival to become a gym leader, champion and researcher!
Shoutout to Silver, Wally, N, and Nemona's themes :D
Ugh you can feel the *evolution* of the series in each subsequent gens instrumentation and production it’s beautiful
Never played Let’s Go Evee, probably never will but good lord Trace’s theme goes so hard, it’s like the original rival battle theme but orchestral
But with Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu you can get a Mew in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
In Gen 2, technically the Champion theme is also a rival theme. Silver uses it in his last battle at Victory Road.
it will only get longer from here lmao
That’s what he said
@@kuntress6005 💀
11:45 - I can't stop listening to this, I love Silver so much AND THIS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.
37:09 - Intense music for a level 7 purrloin.
39:40 - do I need to say anything about this masterpiece?
42:07 - My Hugh obsession is kicking IN!!
48:55 Yes, he's an Edglord. Do I care? No. BECAUSE THIS BASS FREAKING ROCKS!!
Silver still has the best rival theme. I would purposely not do anything just so I can continue listening to the music
ditto
Definitely I can relate to him because I’m fartherless too.
Hugh: exists.
@@leonardoflorencio2367 Hugh theme is amazing bw2 are my favorite Pokémon games
By far I like the oldschool hoenn battle theme against may! Bring back great memories ❤
Agreed, very iconic
man i totally forgot how badass silver’s theme was compared to the others
gen 3 : allow me to introduce myself
@@wahibasouami7514But may and Brendan’s themes are very upbeat, and Wally is just a basic loop, unless I’m forgetting something
N's theme : hold my beer
Klara theme is the definition of slaying with toxicity 💅✨
For whatever reason I enjoy more when the rivals are more antagonistic and not friendly like many now. Blue and Silver were perfect

No way. A rivals' themes video that remembers Klara and Avery exist lmao
Unironically, both of them are my favs rivals
which is a shame because klara arguably has the best rival theme in the series in my opinion
Looking forward to All Grunt/Boss themes!
Sadly he stopped at Champions.
The Barry theme is top tier to me especially when he sends in staraptor
Tbh Nemona became my fav rival in everything, she's so cool
Marnie's theme is my favorite. Literally gives me more reasons to fight
Gen 8 trio rival themes are 🔥🔥✍️
"HOP INTENSIFIES"
Normal Person: Please, kill me
Me: I love gen 8...
Gen 8 and 9 are actually incredible. I almost cried hearing some of them
I think this community needs to start understanding what characters are rivals and which aren't.
ENEMYS, Rivals and... friends(?

8. Hugh Theme
7. Gladion Theme
6. HGSS Silver Theme
5. Blue Theme
4. Kalos Rivals Theme (as easy as they are, theme is kinda a bop)
3. Hop 2nd Battle Theme
2. N Final Battle Theme
1. Nemona Final Battle Theme
silver’s HGSS theme slaps. those bells!!
I find it funny how crowded gen 6 is lmao. My first and favourite gen
Maybe not the most loved but the Emerald one is so nostalgic to me 🤩
Penny: where am I, you even included N from gen 5?
N was the real BW rival btw
Regardless of how the games do. Sinnoh will always hold a special place as THE origin region. The styling is just unlike any other generation, being the perfect balance between traditional and modern.
Personally, N felt like the only actual "rival" to me according to lore build. His ost also feels like a love note to his personality
After playing SV, here's my best Pokemon Rivals top 10:
1. N (Black and White)
2. Silver (GS/HGSS)
3. Blue (RB/FRLG)
4. Arven (Scarlet and Violet)
5. Barry (DP/BDSP)
6. Gladion (Sun and Moon)
7. Wally (RS/ORAS)
8. Hugh (Black 2 and White 2)
9. Cheren (Black and White)

The thing I like about the Kanto and Johto rival themes is that they make it feel like the battle has stakes. That your rival is a threat to you and your goals. Many of the other themes make the rival battles seem like a fun little challenge and nothing more.
In the end that's exactly what they are haha, I will say N's theme is also an outlier, I love the drums in that theme
Have you listened to Hugh’s theme
Bro wally got a whole upgrade fr
wally's theme still goes the hardest.
How I wish to see the whole group together in a scene, but with a well written script.
ライバルたち、最高!!!!(˶ᐢωᐢ˶)
Wait... I'm not sure, but is Penny considered a rival?
Same question should apply to N too, I guess
I wouldnt, she doesnt compete with you, and she is
Spoilers
the boss of team star
Arven and Penny aren't rivals. N is. So i'm not sure why Arven is here but not Penny it really makes no sense. I also dont get why we have both versions of Nemona's theme but not both versions of Marniw's theme and stuff
Arven is here, but he shouldn't be considered a rival. He is just someone who you both lean on each other for emotional support.
If you look on the bulbapedia page on rivals it shows Wally and May/Brendan as rivals in the Hoenn games, N, Cheren and Bianca as the rivals in BW, Hugh as the only rival in B2W2, but Nemona as the only rival in SV

why do all "asshole"-rivals have SUCH good themes?
The best rival theme is from a fangame called pokemon solarlight and Lunardark. Check Ricks Theme. That´s fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
14:44 A wild Trumpet Kid appeared!
Hoenn and Sinnoh pretty much always have my fave themes, tbh. As someone who is super into the music in these games, if the main fights (rival, enemy teams + leader, gym leaders, e4, champion, legendaries) don't have epic music (imo), then I just don't enjoy the games as much.
RSE blew it out of the park, and even more so with the actual Battle Frontier instead of just the Tower (why that wasn't brought back in ORAS, idk and it's a crime). And of course, DPP did even more so with the Champion theme.
Swsh was a totally forgettable experience for me, simply due to the fact I only enjoyed ONE major theme song: Gym leader. SV is doing better from what I've been listening to (I didn't want to spoil myself, even regarding music, but at this rate, I might as well) so at least despite the gym leader music being total bogus to me, I enjoy some of the others, such as enemy team and one of the special groups (forgot if it was the Titans or another one).
