    Fans and non-fans alike of the franchise seem to know some sort of Pokemon melody from areas in the game, even years after they’ve last played one. Since then, the magic of Pokemon music has been loved and celebrated through remixes, relaxing music compilations and of course, the memes. They go to show just how stellar and memorable the music of Pokemon is. From the worldly influences behind the music, the emphasis on theme, and to innovation through technological limitations, this is Understanding the Music of Pokemon.

    Ello, it's been quite a while since the last upload, got caught up in school. The editing quality of this video is a step down from the previous videos, I think part of it was because I wasn't as driven for this topic/subject, especially considering this took longer than usual, this might be the last music-related topic I do for a while, I might do Bee Gees depending on how I feel. Otherwise, I feel prepared to tackle heavier topics, one topic I've been playing with is dark paintings or I might also revive an old script on Karens. Thanks for sticking with me.

    I remember I returned to Pokémon during my late teen years and my mother heard the Pokémon centre theme and said "oh you're playing Pokémon?",

    Music in Pokemon games is as important as the gameplay itself. Without the music it would feel baren and empty. No excitement, no sense of wonder, no satisfaction when you battle anyone or a wild pokemon. In a way, besides the pokemon themselves, the music makes pokemon what it is.

    wow, what a video, although I think the title should be less specific on how it's made and rather a brief introduction to Junichi Masuda and what, or rather how he, makes pokemon music unique.
    the part about N's song is very very interesting.

    Sinnoh based on Japan, yet Arceus and it's temple based on ancient Greek architecture. Also there are more hints in this game for Greece.

    • @Korex970
      @Korex970  2 роки тому

      "The geography of the Sinnoh region is based on the geography of the Japanese island of Hokkaido and southern part of the Russian island Sakhalin, as well as Kunashir, which is claimed by Japan, but administered by Russia. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula."

    This is incorrect. 8 is not a prime number. Neither is 1/8 since it does not even belong to the same numbering system.
