@@insaneintherainmusic i really want to see someone in the modding community just go in and replace all the music in the games with your covers, would be amazing
Thank you! The EWI was the perfect instrument for me to be able to play that crazy trumpet part in the Elite 4 encounter music, haha. And I'm pretty sure the drawing does have a nose... there's a little curved line on the right side of my glasses in the image haha
As a violinist in high school... HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CRAZY, THE ACCURACY ON THOSE HIGH POSITIONS, BEAUTIFUL! I loved this cover, its one of my favorite themes, the bass, and electric organ were on point
I like that at 3:22 gives off the feeling that Cynthia is watching the battle unfold from an unseen place. Very victory royale of you, I give this cover one Galactic Pikachu out of two beatin' sticks.
Carlos, I wish you well, with the deadline fast approaching. I can tell you have been working really quite hard and I’m certain that this album will be simply amazing.
Thanks Ryan! I have been working... very very hard, haha, but I know it'll all be worth it when the final product is all done and people can enjoy it for years to come :)
That distorted sax and electric violin combo was the highlight for me! The minute I saw Emily Gelineau I knew we were in for some epic shredding in the solo section, but the distorted sax solo especially caught me off guard! And the electric organ was very savory; I love how you’re starting to utilize it a lot in your recent covers! Also I hate to tell you but you’re now on PETA’s watchlist...😳
Thanks a bunch! The organ has been fun to use as of late, I'm glad to be getting more opportunities to use it! And please, I would have used drumsticks if I really wanted to hurt Pikachu, I just used timpani mallets in this video...
Such an absolute throwback... I remember when I was a kid and so scared of having to do so many hard fights back to back without being able to go back to a Poke Center to heal. I thought I'd be like that poor Pikachu. Turned out a Lv 85 Empoleon was more than enough to slay with easy. As easy as Carlos and Emily made the arrangement look!
Another wonderful masterpiece. I gotta admit, I am only interested in tour Pokemon covers since Pokemon is a game series I grew up with. Other nintendo games, I also did but not so much.
I never thought that congas, electric organ, and violin would go well together, but its one of my favorites! Also the violin doing the fill for the battle track is straight 🔥
The sinnoh elite 5, with the new edition of the Jazz-loving Water master, Carlos! Btw, this is 100% my favorite track so far. Blew my expectations away, great job as always Carlos.
She play that violin so damn well, I make a mad face. It don't make no sense how good she is. Nintendo need to put her in the Symphony of the Gods with a six figure salary. Good lawd.
4:26 At first I wasn't "interested" in this part but daaamn it is so epic! I can already imagine myself facing them 1vs1 with that in the background lol
I'm usually too shy to make comments, but I can't not comment on how much I love this piece. Hands down one of my favorite battle themes in the series, and this rendition of it is so CRISP bruh. I've been listening to you for a while, and this message is long overdue, but you're a legend dawg. Never forget that
You can tell both Carlos and Emily are having the time of their lives! It’s so much fun to watch! This arrangement was awesome! Well done, both of you, especially with the solos!
God you made the gym leader/Elite four theme sound so impactful and intense with such an amazing climax and ending. I am definitely playing this whenever I challenge the gen 4 elite four.
Man, your covers are reminding me just how many of the Sinnoh pieces are absolute bangers. This cover did justice to what the final encounter was like for younger me. The harpsicord was a pleasant surprise, as well. On a side note, may that Pikachu rest in peace. He will be remembered.
Electric violin and EWI is such a great an unique texture. Loved it in Mt. Coronet, love it here. Hope you do more like this with Emily! - she's an amazing player.
Loved it Carlos. You guys were absolutely shredding on those solos! The EWI during the encounter theme really put it over the top for me though, I was getting goosebumps listening to that section. Way to go man!
I really liked how the inclusion of a few more percussion parts really added to the hype of this piece. All of these arrangements have so much diversity to them that it keeps everything fresh!
There are few youtubers who create such good content that I hit the like button on each vid before watching them. You are one of them. Keep up the good work Carlos and friends!
All the arrangements make me think of encountering the Elite 4 members at a fancy restaurant in the evening, challenging you to a casual battle in the middle of the building. And they'd all be wearing suits. Lucian would only need a different colour for his suit though.
wow your covers are amazing!! i loved the violin in the battle theme; it made it sound much more serious than the gym leader music, like the stakes were higher. i'm remembering how i swept through most of the elite four only to lose to lucian since i didn't have dark or bug types..... on a separate note, i'd love to hear barry's battle theme! he's one of my favorite rivals and i've always liked how fun his theme sounds.
No other words other than this was so cool! I love Sinnoh's elite four theme, one of my favorites along with probably the Unova's elite four theme. Used to smile like crazy whenever this showed up in the Diamond and Pearl arc of the show. Brilliant cover again Carlos :)
I'm constantly blown away by how you keep outdoing yourself. Amazing work! Each of your arrangements bring back so many great memories and yet make the familiar feel so fresh.
carlos, you are my inspiration to write music. i have loved jazz for so long, and i have always tried writing things without any luck. i never finish anything. but i get one of your videos, and i’m like DAMN, DAMN DAMN WHOA DAMN YEAH WOOHOO and then i go back to my room, and write some more. thanks for bringing such awesome music to us.
Wowow everything about this was straight fire! I can tell that a LOT of hard work went into this! I also appreciated the long descriptions in your videos too! Super nerdy and fun to read :)
400 comments now! If you see this, know that you made me so, SO happy making me experience this music again after all these years! I also have happy memories of DPPt's endgame! Im confident I'll enjoy your music for years to come knowing some of your inspirations!
This theme holds so much nostalgia for me. I threw my team against the wall so many times normally losing to Ronald McDonald himself, before I lost the cartridge and then bought a pre-owned one that had gotten to the E4 so I threw his team against the wall instead until I finally beat the game.
I would point out the sick sax and violin solos here, but as a guitarist, I have to compliment you so much on the sick tone you got for the bass and guitar line here. It was so gritty and I love it.
I think the Sinnoh Elite 4 themes is one of my less favorite Elite 4 themes, but this arrangement makes it so much more fun! Great work as always! Can't wait to hear your take on Giratina and Cyrus' battle themes!
@@insaneintherainmusicyeah! That guy works with a channel named Cydonia, which is one of the best pokemon themed channel here in Italy, who also got a partnership with Nintendo Italy. Cydonia also managed to predict the Hawaii themed location of pokemon sun and moon a year in advance by just looking at the teaser trailer lol
This one is seriously impressive with the variety of different instruments you used this Jazz remake. Btw I've gone listened to some many of your older jazz arrangements and download a lot of the ones I liked, keep up the spectacular work Carlos :)
This is such a good cover! The violinist added so much to it. I especially loved the duel section and the slappin guitar. Oh, and the electric organ. I forgot those existed, but now I'll surely remember them. Rip galactic pikachu though.
The elite four theme from this game never gets attention because it’s just the gym leader theme pitched down... but ever since I first played the game I liked the elite four version way more. And the songs that build up to it are so damn good. This medley brings back my memories of one of my favorite parts of this game in such a great way. It’s all pretty close to the original but has its own unique flavor apart from just the live instruments. I love this sm, gonna be thinking of it when I challenge the elite four soon in my nuzlocke run.
Finally....I noticed it went from the prelude straight to Cynthia and there wasnt any E4 theme.... but dude....I wasnt expecting it to be this good! This isnt some normal remastered version, this should be the official version!
No Pikachu was harmed during the making of this video.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease. Even though pikachus expression looked concerning.
pikachu was pummeled
Welp, using Earthquake next to your Pikachu is a bad idea.
That could only be possible if Pikachu was a ghost type...
(x) Doubt
Pikachu: Can’t learn Belly Drum
Carlos: *Does it anyway*
I sacrificed half of my Pikachu’s health to get +6 attack, no problems there
@@insaneintherainmusic Uh oh, here comes Dugtrio with Dig.

Have you seen the Sinnoh Trainer Battle Medley? If not, you should. I'll rewatch it myself right now. :)
WHY DOES GEN 4 CARLOS NOT HAVE A NOSE
Ok but on a serious note, I love the EWI soooo much in this arrangement, it is godlike
Thank you! The EWI was the perfect instrument for me to be able to play that crazy trumpet part in the Elite 4 encounter music, haha. And I'm pretty sure the drawing does have a nose... there's a little curved line on the right side of my glasses in the image haha

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CRAZY, THE ACCURACY ON THOSE HIGH POSITIONS, BEAUTIFUL! I loved this cover, its one of my favorite themes, the bass, and electric organ were on point
that's what happens when all your friends also went to berklee
Emily Gelineau is a LEGEND. Check her out; she’s amazing.
1:20 I absolutely love the sound of that electric flute thing. Sounds amazing. Like a synth but cleaner somehow.
It's an EWI! They're super cool!
That's an EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument). EWIs (Electronic Wind Instruments) are pretty cool lol
That climax was so intense! And the sound felt out of this world. Those solos and everything about this one blew me away, wow
I like that at 3:22 gives off the feeling that Cynthia is watching the battle unfold from an unseen place.
Very victory royale of you, I give this cover one Galactic Pikachu out of two beatin' sticks.
Carlos, I wish you well, with the deadline fast approaching. I can tell you have been working really quite hard and I’m certain that this album will be simply amazing.

Are just going to ignore this blatant Pikachu abuse? Also insanely good theme!
Hey, Pikachu was just doing its job...
You mean Cyrus-Pikachu ? He deserves it lol. Maybe that’ll knock some emotion into him.
insanely good theme in the rain
That distorted sax and electric violin combo was the highlight for me! The minute I saw Emily Gelineau I knew we were in for some epic shredding in the solo section, but the distorted sax solo especially caught me off guard!

I wasn’t even aware it was possible for a sax to make the noises you made in the duel section lmao, amazing cover as always 👌
With the power of effects... it is!
If you want to see the saxophone pushed to its limits I suggest you check out James Carter or Pharoah Sanders, they are both crazy good
Such an absolute throwback...
I remember when I was a kid and so scared of having to do so many hard fights back to back without being able to go back to a Poke Center to heal. I thought I'd be like that poor Pikachu.
Turned out a Lv 85 Empoleon was more than enough to slay with easy. As easy as Carlos and Emily made the arrangement look!
Who knew a theme so intense could also be incredibly jazzy? You never fail to impress me!
Another wonderful masterpiece. I gotta admit, I am only interested in tour Pokemon covers since Pokemon is a game series I grew up with. Other nintendo games, I also did but not so much.
Haha thank you! I've been doing so many Pokémon covers as of late for the Year of Sinnoh... so I am glad you're enjoying them!
“Ronald McDonald is my favorite Sinnoh Elite Four member.“
Me too, man. Me too
I never thought that congas, electric organ, and violin would go well together, but its one of my favorites!

@@insaneintherainmusic oh man, it hits different for sure! And in the best way!

Bro when the battle music was sick as hell! Exactly how I heard it back in 2009!

I have been waiting for this absolute banger.
I really liked how the inclusion of a few more percussion parts really added to the hype of this piece. All of these arrangements have so much diversity to them that it keeps everything fresh!
Thanks! Percussion is such an underutilized texture I think, it adds a lot of flavor to a drum part :)
