I like this song it definitely sounds like two kids exploring a place they aren’t supposed to be but they aren’t scared at all despite the mystery. They’re bright and full of curiosity!
And the forest itself is a little "magical" too (hence why they're exploring it in the first place) The 8-bit sounds make it feel like a song taken from... Ok i don't have any good example of an old game but it does sound like some goofy adventure game with acctually incredible story and likeable places and characters. So kind jf what Pokémon games are supposed to be.. in short, it's Pokémon but way better
we all know this game has plenty of flaws but luckily the music is top tier as always. for one of the first themes you hear in the game this is incredible, the atmosphere and tension/mystery of the melody mixed with the cries of the legendaries wolfs was such a nice touch.
The flaws in SW/SH are the same with other Pokemon games, they're just easier to see here cause the series is on a more highly advanced platform. If anything, SW/SH fixed more of its in game mechanics rather than take them away. The next leap needs to be a big one to justify it being behind though.
Something coding wise that erks me is that shiny models are separate from regular models, thus taking up more space. Because of this Alcremie has like 60+ separate models, each for the different textures and decorations. Cramorant also has Pikachu and it's fish loaded in all three forms even if it switches model just for those forms. Yes. There are six Cramorant models and each have a fish AND a Pikachu. That is just poor coding.
@@am_infinite I don't remember the other Pokémon games having half of the pokédex cut because this game was out 2 years before the development could finish tho
Slumbering Weald is by far my favorite passive pokemon theme in a long time. It just sounds so pleasant and beautiful, truly an amazing piece, right alongside the Hotel theme.
A bit emotional for me but this past month sucked. Friend's father was fighting cancer for over a month. She even streamed from the hospital and used your music as a playlist. My father had a heart attack and was hospitalized. He died this November 7th. I didn't find out until the 12th. I grieved practically that whole week. When I was able to put the tears away, and the funeral and burial had passed... my friend's father joined him. The grieving didn't stop, even past Thanksgiving. But you post this and its pretty calming and fitting. They're at peace now. This music helps me breathe.
I'm terribly sorry to hear the news of them passing but fortunate to know you and your father's friend found comfort and enjoyment in my works. They're in a much better place now, and may they rest in peace.
I like how the theme reflects the peaceful ideologies of the wolves and how serene the Slumbering Weald really is, then when the howling kicks in it reminds you that this is the home of two Legendary Pokemon powerful enough to rival Eternatus at its strongest.
Its the slumbering weald of all places. Its not the fuckin Wild Area that HAS Bagpipes to begin with. At least in the theme of the wild area. Not a findable item that you'd use in oh i dont know the middle of fuckin Hammerlocke and blast some random tunes and make a ruckus! But all that was a joke. Also sorry for my bad language.
Ok can we talk about the beautiful pixel art? The color scheme, how well the bridge blends in, the wisps of fog, the little idle animations she’s doing, it’s so perfect!
@@tristanneal9552 gameplay id say is worse, theres no post game besides a battle facility that's way too easy and raids that get boring quick. They even removed the GTS in favor for nothing... thanks?. Ive been playing since gen 5 and have gone to play earlier games and i do have to say this is definitely the weakest entry. I dont believe they could ever fail the music and character design but idk... they created the most barebones game this year. Just my thoughts...
The Mew I also started in Gen 5! While I agree it’s questionable and kinda unnecessary to remove some key features, it doesn’t hurt the overall experience too much in my opinion, but I absolutely see what you’re saying
The Mew I tend to agree with all of your points. The wild area saves it for me a bit, as that was so new and exciting in the beginning, but it’s too small and not enough interesting things to give it the longevity it needs. I’d still probably place The game above XY or USUM though (not SM)
@@creeeeeper "pretty much everywhere" =/= "those people" otherwise that'd mean everyone, yet nobody talks about Ugandan knuckles anymore that actually is dead lol
Very nice rendition of a great theme! I'm no expert, just a listener, but apparently I appreciate VRC6 compositions. I'm really looking forward to hear Hop's battle theme in 8-bit! UPDATE: Hop's theme was great too, check it out everyone!
@ (I'm gonna reply this every time I see you comment this lol) 16-bit is more like SNES/Mega Drive era. This is still NES style, specifically Famicom VRC6 style and can be played back on the actual hardware. 8-bit is a misnomer and nebulous term but my arrangement still captures the essence of the NES/Famicom era. It's not just limited to Gameboy/4-or-5-channel limitations
Pokemon sword and shield are favorite games as of posting this comment, there is nothing wrong with them (besides the missing Pokemon), and this was one of my favorite songs in these games, so thank you for making this remix, it is great!
Nicely done!!!!! I never actually got to hear the music for myself, because the only time I got to see the place was through Let's Plays. But now I'm hearing so many different versions of it and they sound fantastic!!!
It’s amazing what can make you feel like some kind of weight has been lifted you know? I just feel like listening to this I know the day is done but tomorrow is something of a new start and that through the good and bad, it may have happened but it’s up to you to choose what’s the impact of it in your life
honestly going back to the meadows brings me nostalgia to first opening the game, which is weird to say when I’ve been playing for only 3 weeks,,, but still. This makes it even more nostalgic aghhhh
I had low expectations, and was blown away by the soundtrack. The story actually was interesting too. The bad graphics were mostly just in the wild area.
@@faceofbearr I think the characters were great, the plot was just as you say, it had potential. I just think they could have done more with it? It felt more fleshed out in other games.
I don’t think it was bad, I think that it’s good but it could’ve been better. Legendary side of the story is by far the best in the series and the villain team is unique but isn’t my favorite. I like how Team yell are spikemuth gym trainers it gave them purpose and not just random people who joined a team. And their leader Piers made this whole team just to support his sister, not knowing that they would try to obstruct the way of other gym challengers. I think Rose should’ve had evil team members and we should’ve been able to explore both Rose tower and The underground power plant like a normal Pokémon dungeon. I think the Rose part of the story could’ve been developed to a better plot. Other than that, story wise, Sword and shield are exceptional at this and don’t disappoint at all.
One of my favorite things about the story is that, as you keep beating hop, he actually gets sad. The other games (far as I know) have the rivals as being happy all the time, but hop actually has a character arc, and that's cool. It's a shame the story is so short, though
Inside of you are two wolves. One of them wants to be a pokemon master. The other one has to face the harsh reality that pokemon games will never be fun again.

When they awoo'd, I really felt that. What was your reaction to the howling lead?
(Hop battle theme next~!)
Those awoo’s certainly got me
this was wonderful! But have you considered Hop's second battle theme
Would love to hear an 8 bit version of the Battle Tower music! Great work on this 8 bit version though 😁
i love the howling lead so much, i was honestly jammin out
Would also like to hear mysterious beings, that bass *SLAPS*
The theme of trying to slip past Weezing but getting caught in it's giant triggerbox
Lunchbox Then getting jumped by corviknight
You simply don't avoid Doug Dimmadome
Wow why do I feel like this was the whole game?
Am I the only person in the entire fucking community who named his after Best TUGS Character?
owner of the Galarian Dimmadom
I played the game in French as a joke, and the dogs literally just scream “AAAAAAAH” in their dialogue and it’s beautiful to see
xD

One is a sword.

Thought this was gonna be something edgy af lol
That’s actually really funny.
I like this song it definitely sounds like two kids exploring a place they aren’t supposed to be but they aren’t scared at all despite the mystery. They’re bright and full of curiosity!
Zelda090909 I wonder why it sounds exactly like, and heavily appropriate for the plot and where it's used? It must be complete coincidence
Zelda090909 the Pokémon Special: Sword&Shield Manga in a nutshell 😂
and then the dogs enter
And the forest itself is a little "magical" too (hence why they're exploring it in the first place)
The 8-bit sounds make it feel like a song taken from... Ok i don't have any good example of an old game but it does sound like some goofy adventure game with acctually incredible story and likeable places and characters.
