Love it when people combine the overworld encounter music themes and the actual music - makes it a more complete experience! Also it looks like the bass was hard to do in this one... or maybe that's just me
Holy shit, it's been so long since you covered a song I know and like, and I fucking love this cover. This is by far my favorite theme from the Pokemon games and you've made it even better.
Wow are you serious?! I remember years ago I was looking for this cover by you and now that it's finally here i didn't even notice it >.< This was my favorite theme when I was around 10 yrs lol. A huge thank you for this! Gonna smash that like button until it breaks!!!
🤔You know, Is not a surprise, that Green ('Blue/Gary') its a totally an Ace -both as a Champion Trainer and as a Character- allways... 😌👌But god, I have to recognize that Him, That Silver was totally Outstanding and a pretty Respectsble Rival, and not just by the nostalgy. ☆ 🙏🌟💖 🤫
Stole a pokemon, earned every badge, helped take down every team rocket member, championed strength above all else, met you at the entrance to the elite four...
@@Nynja123TRTthat's canon to the games too actually. It's more clear in the Japanese version but there's still a couple things that spell it out. Most notably HGSS Celebi event.
@Maio nayz It's not the technology. Ever since the DS games they went with orchestrated soundtrack for Pokemon games, but frankly these sound generic and lack variation in instruments (drums, french trumpets) and rhythm, especially the battle music. Back on the Game Boy Color/ Advanced developers were limited on 16/32-bit technology, so they pushed the music and sound effects to the limit of those devices. I thought the HG/SS soundtrack was weak despite loving the game in general.
@@christopherboye5498 I really don't like the HG/SS soundtrack, especially lance/reds theme. It sounds so weak. Even though the original gold/silver games had limited technology there was a "heaviness" to the theme, especially in the beginning. Telling you that this was it, it's happening. You are facing the champ, and he is going to whoop your ass.
I backed Johto Legends AND bought a physical copy because you were advertising it and godDAMN it was worth it. This track is so good, I'm so glad you were able to contribute to the album!! 👌✨
Your covers are simply outstanding; been subbed since 2012 and honestly everytime I listen to them you hit the exact notes as they are heard in video games, like an harmonic tune. Plus adding the energy and passion you put in every cover I simply think you are great man, keep it up!
I still miss the badass rivals we got in the old gen games. They actually felt like an actual rival and a friend at the same time/ or in case of Silver a focused and determined rival. But the rivals nowadays are just...too soft
Or theyre bede. They said "you want mean rivals. Well here" and bede just cant measure up to the greatness of the TRUE mean rivals. Hes mean but never a rival. A rival is supposed to help push you to greater heights and vice versa but he litterally wants you to fail so only he can succeed
Silver was a guilty pleasure... On the one hand, I hated beating down on his Pokémon because they were hinted at being victims of his abusive nature. On the other hand, his theme music was fire. 🤣
Bertha: "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, HEDGERAT! No! No FUCKING way are you going to take a step further from here! I have some of the most athletic jocks ready to rumble with YOU! That said, bitch, I am going to enjoy my fucking victory against you!"
Bertha: "I am FUCKING digging for treasure, and I am met with my FUCKING rival! I learned from last time, and I will FUCKING be victorious!" Amy Jr.: "That will be the day!"
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Oh my god thank you so much, not only is this my favorite track (and Silver's my favorite character, additionally) from the entire series, but having it covered by you is a dream come true. You're absolutely killing it and those riffs are AMAZING. I've been waiting for Johto Legends since so long, and I'm so happy to see you being a part of it!! I'm blessed. Thank you so, so much for your work, please keep the great tunes coming!! (and pshhh he's a great rival. he's an asshat but a good, well-written asshat.)
That end bit though. Like "okay so you play this, then that then...what was it?" play source material song INSANE RIFF.... "whelp that's a thing I'm supposed to do then I guess". Very funny. I think we can easily forget how insanely hard you have to work sometimes. Thanks for the guest track. I'm enjoying the album and I love the rival theme from GSC in the 2nd generation. You worked hard to help add an extra shine to the album thanks so much.
A tier rivals: Blue, Gary (anime), Silver B tier: Wally, Barry C tier: Hau, Gladion, May/Brendan D tier: Hugh, Cheren, "not blue" from Lets GO TRASH: All the "rivals" from X & Y, Bianca. But S tier? Thats all Paul baby. Paul was the GOAT in the anime
This sounds like a pure personality vote, but Alain belongs at least in the B-tier. He's Ash's strongest rival in the anime by far thanks to his Elite 4-level Mega Charizard X alongside a Metagross and Tyranitar so his power is S-tier. No he doesn't push Ash to grow, only merely gives him something to look forward to in the League who ends up being his foil. That's not so great, C-D tier. Also, he beat him THREE times! That should average out to at least a B-tier, maybe C tier. He is NOT trash!
I cried when I first heard this as a kid who grew up playing practically nothing but heartgold this song brought genuine tears of happiness to my eyes and the renewing love for the remastered gen 2 music
that bit at the end when you recoil at the abruptness of the game boy sounds. priceless. still my favorite song in gaming, and you nail it. love your work jules. don’t ever stop.
Frantic, heartfelt, and soulfull enough to match the idea of the rival from this generation... a thief who wants to prove to his estranged father that he can make a name for himself without his father's powerful influence. This just screams "I know I can do whatever I want if I put my soul into it!" Fits the character well!
Silver is a slept on rival especially considering gamefreak Sucks at character development. The fact that silver went from some thieving punk who treats his pokemon like shit to having a reality check sink in and decides to turn it around. Bro, silver may be the only pokemon rival that has any sustenance what so ever in my opinion. As a writer, imo, gamefreak has never done anything spectacular storywise, but to be fair they never needed too, it's pokemon after all. But with that in mind, silver was well written. And this cover, did him so must justice! 🤘🏼 Rock on brother! I also appreciate how the "Look!" Theme is incorporated, you don't see that often in covers. Masterfully done!
FUCKING CHERRYGROVE TOWN!! FUCKING NEW BARK TOWN!! FUCKING AZALEA TOWN AND HIS DAMN CROCNAW AND GHASTLY...but I too had a Ghastly!! Pwned his ass so good!! *CRYSTAL VERSION FOREVER!!!*
Heh, we technically were the 'Gary Oak' character in X and Y, now I think about it.... But we were actually good at battles, rather than him and Silver ever were.
Pokemon use to have AMAZING music. After diamond and pearl It went down hill. Honestly the great music is what always drove me back to the pomemon games. I won't touch the new ones.
FamilyJules, do you plan to do a cover of the Red/Lance battle theme from gen 2? It was always the most intense/hype song for me and I don't think you have done it yet, or I just can't find the video.
I am very disgusted with the trashy man. In spite of the monster, and the coach, only trashy, I will beat down them all. For this, I must strengthen myself. Collect all the trashy, righteous fellow all are unpardonable. You don't affect me. The trashy strolling is an eyesore! However, I am not disgusted with this cover at all. Great job.
when the rival was introduced to you as ??? and you at age 7, when the cop asks what the character's name was, say ??? because you don't actually know and you don't wanna lie to a cop only for the rival to be named ??? the rest of the game
no me transporte es mu fuerte emular ese sentido, solo un poco al final en el segundo rif ejjeje de igual manera mu bien logrado muy fuerte emular el rif nintendo gameboy pokemon gbroo muy hevyyy demasiado buieno
Thank you, FamilyJules. You brought back memories from when I fought trainer silver from the game god so many memories just float back in. I used to hate him as a kid but I understand he was a misunderstood kid that understood things right and made things right.
Honestly, Gold has always been my favorite pokemon game. Jules, if you do the regular trainer battle, I will find you and pay you cash in person. I’m not even joking.
Ah yes Sliver best Rival ever as he was a Thief but over the course of your journey you become Rivals then Friends but you still want to kick his ass and still see him as a rival and not once did you feel this is easy

I love that you included the lead up dialogue theme before you started the battle theme. It really does make it so much better.

And if y'all read the manga: he's also the prince of Team Rocket and the son of Giovanni :3

i have no idea what I named him as a kid but I think the last time I played I decided to give him the plainest name I could think of at the time, Bob
Absolutely incredible as always!
@FamilyJules - He's a lot more bearable in Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal.
"I am a monster...coach!"
My favorite Pokemon Game, thank you Jules.
To be honest, that is the best song for a rival, it feels you fight with the worst of yourself
Silver was always my favorite rival, especially the backstory with him being Giovanni's son.
I backed Johto Legends AND bought a physical copy because you were advertising it and godDAMN it was worth it.

Hello this is so cool, is it free to use on videos?
Probably my favorite rival theme.
Yeah, I said it. All you Bede fans can't change my mind.
Gold and Silver was my favorite generation!
Also, Silver was waaaay better than Gary

Best rival in my opinion, mostly just because he's not friendly with you and its a nice change of pace. His theme being badass helps a lot too.
Squirtle Squady and gladius?
Hi silver let’s battle
If this is not absolute perfection of such theme I don't know what it is. You really killed this one guys!
Best rival. He was a heartless villain who grew after you vanquished him...not some cheery friendly rival.
Really awesome!! One of my top10 songs in pokemon history

man, that is good
Fuck yes
Can you do a heavy metal tribute to john williams?
Heh, we technically were the 'Gary Oak' character in X and Y, now I think about it.... But we were actually good at battles, rather than him and Silver ever were.

Cherry on top of Johto Legends was seeing them throw you in there, killing my favorite Pokemans as usual :))
Damn I hated this bastards guts with a passion but loved his theme, epic cover
Holy shit. I didn't even know I wanted this.
