that thing's never dropped to UU, not even once, and retained an OU spot in a generation where spinning is very hard and the meta consists of dragon spam, sand teams, and rain teams. absolute legend.
I really hope we do get Legends Kyurem instead of a BDSP-esque remake. There's so much that could be done with Unova's history. Relic Castle, Submerged Castle, the Original Dragon...
This is amazing It sounds like something Yoko Shimomura would make, i could see this fitting perfectly in a Kingdom Hearts or Mario and Luigi game If Kingdom Hearts ever has a Pokemon world Yoko should remix this track for the Unova region it would fit so well with her style
I find it amazing that game freak made an original soundtrack for literally every place in the game, even places that nobody really remembers like this for example
Huh, this is one of the only places I remember from gen 5 because BW2 was the first legit game I bought (even though I'm a gen wunner, had genuine copies of Yellow in the early 2000s) and relic castle was filled with sand and I wanted to explore it more like BW1 🤔
this music completely enthralled teenage me. all those years ago i used to plug my earphones into my ds, go to relic castle, close my eyes and just zone out to the music.
This ost give me Mistery Dungeon feelings. It sounds a lot like the Great Canyon ost from Red\Blue Rescue team series.Really gives the feeling of being exploring something ancient, mysterious, unexplored and corroded by time. So amazing!
@@Asph0dhell Haha, I've simply been using this account for literally over 10 years and I got the notification But I suppose a lot of people still ignore that shit, I never do
Being around 6 or 5 years old watching my older sisters play this game was fun even I got to play it back then thinking back to those days made me shed a tear
As someone who has played all the games since gen 1, I can definitely say BW has the most interesting story line. If I were to order the regions by plot awesomeness, it'd go something like Unova > Sinnoh > Hoenn > Johto+Kanto > Galar > Kalos > Alola
I'm so disappointed that Relic Castle was downgraded in BW2. I understand why, I mean it was no longer important to the story and it makes sense that it would've deteriorated, but I loved that location. I'd spend lots of time just hanging out in there to hear the music and speculate on what civilization had occupied that ruined castle in the distant past. Best overworld track since Route 12 in RBY. I won't say which is better, because they're equally amazing.
This song conveys the lonely, cold desert night feeling really well! It reminds me of a NES era Megaman or maybe a NDS Castlevania stage music more though.
My thesis on golurk and the relic castle is that it could've been the ancient civilization that golurk was trying to protect and defend but it got completely buried in sand abandoned and forgotten never to be explored by humanity again
+Nobody I don't want to say goodbye - PMD2 Unwavering Emotions - B/W Grovyle's sacrifice - PMD2 This is just a simple desert theme. These songs have the REAL feels in them.
Reshiram32 Actually this song has a hint of sadness. Based on its history and the fact that it gradually is sinking further in until it will no longer be accessible. Not to mention the deaths associated with the area. Not the saddest theme but the lore is depressing.
This music is so beautiful.. wow, Unova, I love you. Gen 5 is the best. The music is so emotive, I'm not far to totally cry while listening to it (some tears)..
I’m super happy that I still own my copies of both Black and White from 2011. Knowing how much they are worth today and how great they are compared to the series as a whole, I never plan to give them away.
I love pokemon black/white 2 musics. They're just epic and make the game so much better.. Everytime I hear a new beautiful music playing I stop plsying for a while and just listen to the music.. I hope the pokemon xy has at least as good songs as the latest ones had
Jesus Christ how is this message 7 years old and how is XY that ancient already 😂 I've fallen back soo much, I still haven't finished X (I think I'm in a part where u just got Xerneas) and haven't even opened Ultra Moon which I bought years ago lol. Btw I love Santalune Forest -music.
- I just visited this place in a game. It seemed like an abandoned temple, or a castle, buried under the sand. Its halls and floor were full of it, too. The music was telling me a history, that the place was once very important. It was easy to get lost in its numerous rooms. But once I managed to find my way to the deepest part of the building, my reward was waiting for me there. A six-winged fire creature, capable of unleashing tremendous power, which I had to fight in order to convince it to join my adventure. - That sounds sick. Which game is it? - Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
Before, I didn't like Pokemon Black and White and 5g in general. But, I played Pokemmo, listened to the music, discovered the region, and now those games are at the 3rd place in my tierlist. There's so much incredible and beautiful things in Pokémon B&W that I can't ignore those games. They are Masterpieces. I just have to listen to the OST to feel the emotion and the beauty of the region of Unova.❤
@@roanux black and white 2 are "more complete", different varieties of pokemon so i could make prettier teams. however about ost i personally prefer black and white.
All this theme does is make me reminisce about my childhood and how much I miss it when these were the current newest Pokémon games, well these and BW2
How I remember being here in and out. This is a perfect place for Volcarona! I remember when I played Pokémon White and I trained my Larvesta to level 58 and was going to evolve it and I accidentally clicked delete so it got deleted! :( What I didn't know at the time, was that you could catch the almight Volcarona down here who is a very good Pokémon.
I've come to believe that Relic Castle was where the Ultimate Weapon hit. It was once a prosperous city of ancient Unova, and if Unova and Kalos were at war, it makes sense for AZ to point the Ultimate Weapon at his enemy's capital. Maybe Unova was the Carthage to Kalos's Rome, and the weapon was what turned the region into a sandy, salty desert.
Decided to battle Cynthia with the game muted and listening to this on the background, now mind you that I battled her in gen 4, and battling her in gen 5 with the music hit HARD (Try it), felt like years since I've seen her yet only took me less than a week to finish BW after stark mountain in Platinum. This OST will forever be the best in it's franchise and now I know how gen 5 was truly an amazing game.
Can we just PLEASE have a remake of Gen 5? It's been so long overdue, but I guess many will resist to that. *cough* Diamond and Pearl remakes *cough*. But one thing we can agree for sure that this generation was one of the best overall and surely the top to date for a new, original Generation. This generation deserved so much more than what the reviews and critics gave it at launch.
a remake would be great, but be reminded all the massive content in this game that needs to be revisit and all. gen 5 region had so much to offer, they would leave things out if remakes were to happen..
Im glad that they learned from their mistake and made the Volcarona line catchable in the main playthrough of b2w2, but Im sure a lot of people wouldve been fine if it was just a legendary pokemon.
This song reminds me of a tf2 map where you have to shoot 2 wall with 5 other heavies and an engineer for about 15 minutes just to get to a secret room with Glaceon in it.

This is what I hear everytime I see a Volcarona on the competitive ladder
It’s the theme of Heavy Duty Boots Volcarona coming to kick ass
Quiver Dance making you feel butterflies in your stomach
that thing's never dropped to UU, not even once, and retained an OU spot in a generation where spinning is very hard and the meta consists of dragon spam, sand teams, and rain teams. absolute legend.
Literally what i came for
Well, you don't have to worry about it it in OU anymore. Tera is one hell of a drug.
Relic Castle was part of the reason that I was so convinced Volcarona was a Legendary
Same here
Also the same reason I used to believe Alder to be one of the greatest trainers of all time
If legends kyurem ever comes to pass, I swear to god this area and song have to be done well
Unless said game would be set before (or during) the collapse. Wouldnt be much of a ruin anymore ;)
hello whiscash underrated pokemon
They should add an Alpha Volcarona and a legendary
@@User-v3b1k that would be cool
I really hope we do get Legends Kyurem instead of a BDSP-esque remake. There's so much that could be done with Unova's history. Relic Castle, Submerged Castle, the Original Dragon...
I can't understand how ANYONE and not like this song.
The style of this song is amazing.
um acyhtialay i dont like it becaz it too long 🤓☝
And it uses a style similar to Yoko Shimomura's style
One of the best ambient background music of the generation.
I wanna cry so bad... this song is so beautiful! It makes me think of some forgotten ruins to a dead ancient civilization
Take solice in knowing that that civilization survivee. All thanks to 1 Pokemon.
This gives me Ancient Egyptian vibes for some reason, I don’t know why.
Same!
@@Taxman3313 no way dude! Isn't this song from castle that want to be known for ancientness? -_-
@@Obama3ryk
wat
This is amazing
It sounds like something Yoko Shimomura would make, i could see this fitting perfectly in a Kingdom Hearts or Mario and Luigi game
If Kingdom Hearts ever has a Pokemon world Yoko should remix this track for the Unova region it would fit so well with her style
Most definitely
easily the best track in the entire game. liquid as fuck
LIIQQUUIIIIIDDDD
liquid sand, with a volcarona in the middle
I find it amazing that game freak made an original soundtrack for literally every place in the game, even places that nobody really remembers like this for example
that pfp fucking sus
Not every place, a few routes used the same theme, but Gen 1 did that so it was actually a subtle reference
Genius

Same

yes
this music completely enthralled teenage me. all those years ago i used to plug my earphones into my ds, go to relic castle, close my eyes and just zone out to the music.
this is literally one of the best and most unique soundtracks in all pokemon games
Sounds like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. And that's why I love it!
A true intellectual
Agreed
great canyon fan too?
Good catch
Yay, someone mentioned it. XD
Gen 5 absolutely kills it with overworld music in general, but this is the best overworld track in any mainline Pokemon game, full stop.
Dragonspiral Tower tho
@@7GamerMinutes relic castle solos dragonspiral tower, mt coronet on a close second
Did you know dragonspiral forest sounds like a rip off of a chrono trigger song called secret of the forest? Dragonspiral be the goat tho
@@maxmacfarland8439 true, alot of osts from bw are taken from things
You know, with Cynthia being an archeologist and all, I'm surprised she never decided to explore Relic Castle
maybe she did, but off screen
_Cynthia is about to send out Volcarona._
_You cannot run from a trainer battle._
Maybe it’s for the best
This ost give me Mistery Dungeon feelings.
It sounds a lot like the Great Canyon ost from Red\Blue Rescue team series.Really gives the feeling of being exploring something ancient, mysterious, unexplored and corroded by time.
So amazing!
This makes me think of all the Sigilyph that endlessly patrol the ruins of an ancient civilization long lost to time
What about yamask & cofagrigus?
Something's missing... that's right, a talking Charmander, Sandshrew and Sandslash, and a Groudon on floor 30
Is that supposed to be a reference to something?
@@witheredbonnie9268 Aye, basically people have picked up that this music sounds like it should be on the Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue soundtrack
@@HedeccaTamer oh my god you came back ten years later to answer this question. You are an awesome person.
@@Asph0dhell Haha, I've simply been using this account for literally over 10 years and I got the notification
But I suppose a lot of people still ignore that shit, I never do
It does sound like a PMD soundtrack.
Whenever you need to set a depressing tone to a Pokemon video, you use this OST.
It's not hard to understand why
Is it because relic castle is based on ground zero where the twin towers collapsed?
No other generation will ever surpass Unova
Being around 6 or 5 years old watching my older sisters play this game was fun even I got to play it back then thinking back to those days made me shed a tear
I personally think that Sinnoh is better. because I started with Diamond, and didn't play Unova until much later.
Unova is my 3rd in my top 5.
Unova is a VERY CLOSE 2nd to Alola for me
GEN 7 WAS A PURE GARBAGE N SO BEHIND AND UNDER GEN 5 MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!
As someone who has played all the games since gen 1, I can definitely say BW has the most interesting story line. If I were to order the regions by plot awesomeness, it'd go something like Unova > Sinnoh > Hoenn > Johto+Kanto > Galar > Kalos > Alola
I swear Pokemon and sonic have some of the best music Ive heard!
Yup!

Listen to this on headphones it sounds much more different
I think this is the saddest song in the whole series.
+Nobody
I don't want to say goodbye - PMD2
Unwavering Emotions - B/W

This is just a simple desert theme. These songs have the REAL feels in them.

I like how you listed two from PMD2
And the real world lore inspired was 9/11, so the sadness fits well

The Gigachad Relic Castle
Wth is this time signature, this is awesome
Absolutely incredible
The bass line playing harmonics 🤤
Why do I feel a pit in my stomach
this has been stuck in my head for the past week
come back
I always think of this song when i remember Osama finally being taken down, as the music fits thematically and it came out just before.
Actually better than the Dragonspiral Tower theme. Ironic for a temple dedicated to a Pokémon that is not considered as legendary.
Dat bass
When the Yamask in the castle flooded with sand gets groovy

Volcarona is the King of the Relic Castle❤️🫶
i underestimated this game long time ago, but now i rethink about it and gen 5 probably its the final true pokemon series..

this makes me wanna find a sage
Black and white ost always sounded like ff ost to me, and i loved it
Never realized how good the bass is
The fact that this place is based on ground zero, (9/11) makes this song so much sadder.
@DaRKDEFIANCE0games Dream yard, Giant Chasm, Relic castle, Undersea ruins was a major up step for pokemon music.
Took me a whole year of whining and crying to realize I was supposed walk on the quicksand to avoid getting dragged in
Im glad that they learned from their mistake and made the Volcarona line catchable in the main playthrough of b2w2, but Im sure a lot of people wouldve been fine if it was just a legendary pokemon.
the peak of pokémon. gens 1-5 all peak
Thumbs up if they should make a Unova-based Myster Dungeon for the DS or 3DS (or BOTH! :D)
My first and favourite Pokémon, hope I'll get a new ds and I'll be able to play this again
This music triggers emotions! 💖
I love this
Actually so chill
i love this theme idk y though
Reminds me of long lost times that are no more
this is so underrated
love song :)
Anyone else wonder why Egyptian themed ruins are in a New York Analogue?
Backpacker: Hey! Want a fossil?
Me: Uh yeah sure
*proceeds to sell it at the pokemon center*
RIP
always felt like this song and abyssal ruins theme switched places.
Gorgeous and haunting
This still sounds like Dragon's Den from the Johto Games.
Low-key fire though
Love this. Somehow faintly reminds me of Deception by TesseracT
i think the relic castle and the abyssal ruins theme got swapped. because they compliment eachother so well, the other way around
I Love this Music *--*
Is it just me or does this theme sounds like it will work for Kingdom hearts or Final Fantasy?
This song reminds me of a tf2 map where you have to shoot 2 wall with 5 other heavies and an engineer for about 15 minutes just to get to a secret room with Glaceon in it.

Childhood!!!! I’m ignoring all the kids who heard it elsewhere!

A strong dbz vibe
Volcarona theme
If I didn't know Unova was based on the USA, I would have thought this castle was in Egypt
