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
@@alexanderhorter1287yes Kind of like the different gym leaders based off the game version, your rival is based off your game; Klara for sword, Avery for shield
SoulSilver and HeartGold is simply on another level. I could not sit still i was jumping arround like crazy. I want to play this game once more .. come on Nintendo
Game freak would make the worst Johto Remake in the history. So better if they don't create a remake of pokemon heartgold. The last time they did a remake on Sinnoh it was a bad game
Man, the evolution of Pokémon is just insane and amazing to experience.. Ladies and gentlemen we have been on one hell of a ride and I hope y’all continue to love Pokémon no matter how old you may be.
@@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 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

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
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)
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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

You didnt put one, penny
@@TV-pm5zz I don't know if you speak English but, green's champion theme is not there because it is the champion theme and not the rival theme
@@X-3181 can you word this better, it makes it sound like shrek became a champion
@@marcothepucci penny is an "evil team boss" theme
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
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” 🤓
The Cheren/Bianca theme is the most iconic and memorable one to me. The cutesy funny sounding tone is SO darn catchy!!
Man im crying, i love this franchise so much dude, the music is so good!
Yes

Kind of like the different gym leaders based off the game version, your rival is based off your game; Klara for sword, Avery for shield
Missing timestamp
Marnie (Tournament) - 1:01:25
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!
SoulSilver and HeartGold is simply on another level. I could not sit still i was jumping arround like crazy.
I want to play this game once more .. come on Nintendo
You can emulate it on phone if want it works fine
Game freak would make the worst Johto Remake in the history. So better if they don't create a remake of pokemon heartgold. The last time they did a remake on Sinnoh it was a bad game
@@gamingale4661 Uhm it wasn't gamefreak it was actually another studio 🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@wal-ck1pj bro you're really trying to defend Game Freak😂😂😂😂😂
@@gamingale4661 Yes, and?
Good to see a more complete compilation, including the remakes is nice
Man, the evolution of Pokémon is just insane and amazing to experience.. Ladies and gentlemen we have been on one hell of a ride and I hope y’all continue to love Pokémon no matter how old you may be.
Oh I will!
"""evolution"""
Man, I love the theme from Legends Arceus
All the gen 5 rival themes bring back good memories.
I have to register my support for Gladion's *fantastic* bassline.
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” 😂❤
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.
Man, I just love Gladion theme. I miss that while playing vgc
Soul Silver Silver Still S Tier even after 14 years!
TRUE
hugh theme is amazing! 5th gen my favorite
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 🔥👌
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
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.
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!
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
Shoutout to Silver, Wally, N, and Nemona's themes :D
I like that some games give you multiple rivals (5,6,8,and9), gives more themes
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
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
In Gen 2, technically the Champion theme is also a rival theme. Silver uses it in his last battle at Victory Road.
Ugh you can feel the *evolution* of the series in each subsequent gens instrumentation and production it’s beautiful
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!!
Gen 5 rival music has always been my favorite, and I can't explain it, but all the layers make me love it.
it will only get longer from here lmao
That’s what he said
@@kuntress6005 💀
By far I like the oldschool hoenn battle theme against may! Bring back great memories ❤
Agreed, very iconic
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
The killed it with Nemona's. Good on Toby and whoever else was on it.
Toby didn't made that banger
@@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
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
Tbh Nemona became my fav rival in everything, she's so cool
14:44 is the one you came for, you are welcome.
Marnie's theme is my favorite. Literally gives me more reasons to fight
For whatever reason I enjoy more when the rivals are more antagonistic and not friendly like many now. Blue and Silver were perfect
Gen 8 trio rival themes are 🔥🔥✍️
Gen 8 and 9 are actually incredible. I almost cried hearing some of them
I love Nemona battle theme
Nemona’s theme sounds like a variant of rainbow road
Klara theme is the definition of slaying with toxicity 💅✨
"HOP INTENSIFIES"
Normal Person: Please, kill me
Me: I love gen 8...
I think this community needs to start understanding what characters are rivals and which aren't.
ENEMYS, Rivals and... friends(?
true
@@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.
The fact bw are halfway through makes me feel old
Same, I grew up playing gen 5 and hearing it gives me so much nostalgia.
When Gen 10 comes out, BW will be the "middle" generation, damn.
silver’s HGSS theme slaps. those bells!!
Gen 1 themes all of them are so good and nostalgic that i always get waterly eyes from all the good all days and im just a 34 YO man
Holy, the HYPE is so freak real.. listen it before of play any game is amazing!!
Gladion hits different 💯
silver is my favorite rival. gladion and marnie have my favorite themes
Top 5 Imo
1. Silver - hgss
2. Marnie - swsh
3. Hugh - bw2
4. Klara - sword
5. Wally - ORAS
Hop is so good
I really is
Hau, Cheren and Bianca, Hugh, Nemona, and barry is the best for me themewise. But X/Y was my first ever Pokémon game, so it really hits a part in me.
Bro wally got a whole upgrade fr
Good ol hoenn, good times...
wally's theme still goes the hardest.
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
I find it funny how crowded gen 6 is lmao. My first and favourite gen
Fastest Starter
Unova
1 - Snivy
2 - Tepig
3 - Oshawott
Paldea
1 - Sprigatito
2 - Quaxly
3 - Fuecoco
How I wish to see the whole group together in a scene, but with a well written script.
SS/HG is still in the top 3
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
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
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
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.
Hugh's theme in Black 2 is fire af

By far.
as melhores são de unova kalos alola e paldea na minha opinião
Verdade
8:47 los pelos de punta con esta
Confirmo
Es la mejor
bro why does everyone hate galar so much literally half of my all time favorite songs are from galar
Especially Marnie
Because the game isn't nearly as great as the soundtrack
Because Galar and SwSh are objectively garbage. Scarlet and Violet we already know...
What happened to marnie 2nd theme?
Hops 2nd theme was included why not marnies?
The N one and the nemona ones gotta be the best, even if the game isnt great doesnt mean music isnt
The call and response at 42:55 goes so hard
My man Hugh screams tenacity 🔥
00:08:46/00:11:45 and 0:37:09
Los dos mejores rivales se hacen presentes 🗿🗿🗿🚬🚬🚬
The two best rivals are present 🗿🗿🗿🚬🚬🚬
I keep forgot sinoh and hisu is same area just different era balalalalal
Blasco’s theme is one of the best without doubt.
Hugh and N is jist the best for a rival theme i cant lie
Hip battle theme remembers me of Sinnoh routes between Pyrite and Eterna
What is track at 5:31 called?
3rd gen will always have the best starters, legendaries, and soundtrack. Don’t even try to change my mind.
Same here, I love gen 3.
14:44 Trumpet Boy would like to fight!
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
Kingdom Hearts fan W opinion
Hugh's, Hau's and Gladion's themes are underrated imo
