I've been depressed and going through a difficult time in my life with the loss of my gramps. And this beautiful nostalgic masterpiece you've created brings me back to my 10th birthday when he bought me my Pokemon Crystal Version. I was so exited, happy and worry free. I remember him sitting on his recliner reading while I'd play Crystal on my GBC non stop. This song just takes me back and soothes my soul and broken heart. Such warm memories... :')
Pokemon stays with you forever. The memories, the moments, the gameplay, the friendship, you always remember. This piece fits every precious second perfectly. :')
This is still by far the best version uploaded onto YT. Every other cover either omits the highest register part or uses two pianos. Wish he was still uploading videos, he was my inspiration to start learning piano :(
I dont care what anyone says about video game music, there's a lot more soul and talent in the compositions of these songs than ANY music out there, just about. This is a POKEMON song and it's got a lot of very complex patterns. I think people are just foolish to think that video game music is lame to listen to.
thats because they are actual compositions by people who have a music education. as far as complex patterns, no. it has a simple bach-like chord progression and a melody in the development. the melody never strays outside of the definite key, unless you mean complex rhythmically for the player, then yes.
Javascript Kiddie They are simplistic because when they were making them, the game boy had very limited sound. Like 4 different tones I think. So to make what they did within their constraints is unbelievable.
Omgggg. Makes me think of the year I got pokemon Crystal for Christmas. I was 8 years old and I remember I had forgotten to put it on my list. Then to my surprise I open the box and see that its Pokemon Crystal!. I was so happy.
Man I remember bugging my mum for the Gold version ages, then she went to hopsital and had my little brother and I thought I'd never get it then! But then I came home one day and she'd left it for me on the kitchen table. I was so happy I just sat there for 5 minutes staring at the box with pure excitement!
music to listen to while staring out into the sunset... I only say this because I've done it. Absolutely beautiful piano rendition of an already emotional song (even in 8bit, this felt so melancholy to me)
Michael Potter you should check out a UA-camr by the name of "8bit music theory" there's a video of a live transcription and analysis of this song and many more similar to it.
this song reminds me of a chill summer day you are relaxing on a hill with flowers and a tree for shade you can see the clear blue sky the breeze is so nice in your hair and the sun is so warm
Ecruteak and Cianwood have the same theme, just in HG/SS they're remixed differently. Ecruteak's theme has Japanese instruments called Kotos in the beginning, while Cianwood's is just a lone guitar. Both awesome pieces of music for an even more amazing game.
That helped me fall asleep last night. Great song, really. Those who don't see the greatness because "its from Pokemon" dont know what art is all about.
This is such a good arrangement and such a good piano and such good playing. The mistakes sounded so beautiful ugh. Bless us with sheet music oh mighty piano god. ;_;
i was playing call of duty, and i thought, man, i haven't head Pokemon music in a while... I'm 23 and i listened to this beautiful music, and started crying a bit. i shut of my CoD, and dug through my gaming box to find my best friend when i was 13. my Gameboy color. :)
I just love this music. In my personal opinion, this is the prettiest lil' song in the Pokemon games. And, of course, so is the Eterna Forest music. Speaking of which... *looks that up* X3
Solo para los q jugamos silver podemos sentir cosas indescriptibles en este sonido. tantos recuerdos, tantas horas, tantas pokemones salvajes.. mi mundo era solo pokemon.. ahora q creci.. no lo quiero volver a jugar no xq sienta q este grande o no me guste.. solo quiero recordar esa magia tal como fue... 1ERA/2DA GEN SIEMPRE!!
@Italiano825 I remember losing my cherished pink GameBoy Advanced and being so upset about it. At the time, my older half-sister worked at Toys 'R Us and I got a discount. She said all she needed was $40 and she could buy me the system and the game. So I got $40 in nothing but quarters and gave it to her. I got a pearl blue Gameboy Advance SP (which I later put a Lugia sticker on) and Pokemon Sapphire. Some of the best days of my life were playing Crystal and chasing Suicune around. ~Raxel~
I learned to play piano when i was 15 because i wanted to play old Zelda songs :) give it a try :D It's cool to show other people who don't know these songs how good they are
@MrCactuar13 I remember most everything of pokémon up until pokémon 251...I remember the exact effect moves made, I know the power of attacks by heart, I know which pokémon evolves into which one and at what level/which stone is needed... I played Red, Gold and Crystal to death...Those were the gaming days man...
i am 16 and am a junior in highschool.... ironically i got my first Gameboy SP at the age of ten and with it pokemon fire Red and i aboslutly fell in love with the game. i started to collect the cards and watch the show. and then i randomly found a magic Silver version and was introduced to the johto region. a whole new world to live in. I can now name everypokemon, excluding some new ones, by silouette with ease ^-^ POKEMON GIRL FO EVA!
I remember sitting at home with my best friend, and we both playing Gold and Silver (he had gold, I had silver) on our gameboy colours and we were both at the same bit, both trying to defeat Morty. This song just takes me right back to the days when pokemon was so simple. I do like the new generations, but nothing beats the old ones right?
Thank you so much, this is really a MASTER PIECE. Your cover is perfect, you're a genius, I admire your talent. I love this song with my heart, thank you!
thats cuz the song is meant for the piano, but when they put on the gameboy soundtrack as a midi file, and all the notes sounded electronic, the beauty didnt really carry through. This is beautifully played though, and it brings back so many memories.
@@Persun_McPersonson how many other musical artists score their music with more than 5 or 6 instruments? With no lyrics, and an intent to draw emotion from you.
@@Pimpgamer101 Classical orchestra music is still being composed, it's just not as popular as it was in Mozart's time; video games are a popular entertainment medium, so of course you're more likely to be exposed to the music from there. You can also find tons of independant instrumental music from different genres, just don't go looking at the radio charts trying to find 'em.
You are incredible..I tried to play this and it's impossible. I'd need three hands and two brains at least for the 0:45 part. I wanted to play it so bad, it's beautiful, and now I have only 40 seconds down, aw.. :( So I raise you my hat, sir :)
thanks kamotakukamo for playing this back ground music from pokemon GSC ..... i have relive the past once again and shame on people who played gen 3,4, and 5 i just don't like those games because it does not have the pokemon feeling in them
Awesome! I just finally got into Pokemon with the recent release of SoulSilver and this is my favorite of the themes so far. In the game they seem to give it a Japanese flavor to match the buildings I think. But any version is great.
@MrCactuar13 red version: eh i wasnt that generation xD gold/crystal: whitney's miltank spams rollout >:| saphire: steven stone pwned me pearl: it starts getting mature black: they rushed the game so much i couldnt get so much exp..
If You Really Own Pokémon Gold Or Crystal Then You are really connected to the Story Lines. The Music 🎵 and these certain towns was connected with something really special because of the way this song was Composed. Must people wouldn’t Understand why this was so vital for the people who really owed this game.

I'm not crying, I just got something in my eye
That's sad... Such a wonderful gramps
Damn onion ninjas.
My heart...😢
Man I really just cried

I wonder where he went... He's an inspiriation to me for learning too; I hope your piano journey has been going well! :)
Damn!! He plays two melodies and the bass all at once! I wish I had that rhythm. I can barely play one melody and bass with simple songs
That's not really hard, there are many songs with a 2 layer violin key
The most difficult thing (for me) while playing two melodies with one hand is playing one louder than the other :O
it's insane, i wish he made more vids, even if it were other songs
This makes me appreciate the genius behind the composers of pokemon music even more than before!
yess
fuck... Pokemon crystal days were the best of my life. Nostalgia hits hard
I feel you man
these days never go back no matter what u do...
shoot those were the worst times in my life, but pokemon got me through it :)
Roberto Aizenberg
The best game, ever!!

This is a POKEMON song and it's got a lot of very complex patterns. I think people are just foolish to think that video game music is lame to listen to.
Love this song :D
There is way more heart in the 8 bit and 16 bit era songs than anything else
thats because they are actual compositions by people who have a music education. as far as complex patterns, no. it has a simple bach-like chord progression and a melody in the development. the melody never strays outside of the definite key, unless you mean complex rhythmically for the player, then yes.
Javascript Kiddie They are simplistic because when they were making them, the game boy had very limited sound. Like 4 different tones I think. So to make what they did within their constraints is unbelievable.
Video game soundtracks are some of the best soundtracks ever created.
Omgggg. Makes me think of the year I got pokemon Crystal for Christmas. I was 8 years old and I remember I had forgotten to put it on my list. Then to my surprise I open the box and see that its Pokemon Crystal!. I was so happy.
I want to be able to create music this beautiful. I will keep practicing until I can...
Good luck, my friend! I'm working hard, too!
Brian Williams Are you the news guy? :D
The news guy?
Brian Williams There's a well-known (at least in my area; I *think* he's national) news reporter named Brian Williams.
Haha.
This sent chills down my spine 😭❤️
12 years later and here i am, and finally ready to learn this for my own. Thank you for the inspiration
Man I remember bugging my mum for the Gold version ages, then she went to hopsital and had my little brother and I thought I'd never get it then! But then I came home one day and she'd left it for me on the kitchen table. I was so happy I just sat there for 5 minutes staring at the box with pure excitement!
Stumbled on to this gem. Thank you for taking the time to play this and share it with us all.
I just cannot find a better rendition of this song.
This has me so much in the feels right now. Miss being a kid
This song reminds me of my would be childhood, and it makes me cry.
I was gonna subscribe to you, but then I discovered I subscribed to you years ago.
Saaame bruh
Same money
@@shivrajflint 2021..
music to listen to while staring out into the sunset... I only say this because I've done it. Absolutely beautiful piano rendition of an already emotional song (even in 8bit, this felt so melancholy to me)
GSC had the best music/atmosphere by far. Every new route and town gave new feels
This person has a true gift. I am glad that he uses it to spread the Pokelove.
The best piano ver on UA-cam.
Please...do you have any sheet music for this piece of beauty?
Michael Potter you should check out a UA-camr by the name of "8bit music theory" there's a video of a live transcription and analysis of this song and many more similar to it.
them feels T_T
It's so sad to know I'm old now. I would give anything to be that age when I first discovered Pokemon
you're never too old! :D
Same here, I honestly dwell on it so much it starts getting pretty pathetic.
I forgot how beautiful this town theme was. I may have to do an arrangement as well, eventually...
Piano Man That's Junichi Masuda and Go Ichinose for you
Did you do that arrangement?
not often that you hear video game arrangements that are actually pretty good! Nice work there
each time I listen to this theme makes me want to play pokemon!
UA-cam used nostalgia attack, it was super effective :')
If I weren't watching this from a public place, i would've just started crying. Awesome times infinity,
Marvelous! I've been playing piano for over 22 years, and I still find people, out there, who are better than me.
this song reminds me of a chill summer day you are relaxing on a hill with flowers and a tree for shade you can see the clear blue sky the breeze is so nice in your hair and the sun is so warm
Sitting at home, playing Pokemon music even HALF as good as this on the piano all day is my idea of paradise!
esto me hace llorar :')
This truly deserves more views.
Ecruteak and Cianwood have the same theme, just in HG/SS they're remixed differently. Ecruteak's theme has Japanese instruments called Kotos in the beginning, while Cianwood's is just a lone guitar. Both awesome pieces of music for an even more amazing game.
That helped me fall asleep last night. Great song, really. Those who don't see the greatness because "its from Pokemon" dont know what art is all about.
Probably my favorite overworld theme in all the Pokemon games. It's just so damn soothing...sort of makes you unprepared for what happens there. :)
my favorite song of all pokemon in the world, till now no other catches my attention, the play to perfection, thanks for the good memories
I want this played at my wedding 😍
That right hand was amazing. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to play this that fluidly
Beautiful!! Brings back my childhood :')Such a nostalgic melody
This is such a good arrangement and such a good piano and such good playing. The mistakes sounded so beautiful ugh. Bless us with sheet music oh mighty piano god. ;_;
i was playing call of duty, and i thought, man, i haven't head Pokemon music in a while... I'm 23 and i listened to this beautiful music, and started crying a bit. i shut of my CoD, and dug through my gaming box to find my best friend when i was 13. my Gameboy color. :)
This is the best rendition/arrangement!
I just realised that all the city videos were recorded on the same day. Nice work dude :D
Thank you for putting the embodiment of my childhood in a piano song.
I just love this music. In my personal opinion, this is the prettiest lil' song in the Pokemon games. And, of course, so is the Eterna Forest music. Speaking of which... *looks that up* X3
I knew this melody would be nice and soft on piano! =] Amazing!
So perfectly done!!! Ahh~ memories
I remember I would often leave my Gameboy on while in Ecruteak or Cianwood just so I could listen to this song as my lullaby.
This guy makes the best piano covers for Pokemon hands down. :D
Solo para los q jugamos silver podemos sentir cosas indescriptibles en este sonido. tantos recuerdos, tantas horas, tantas pokemones salvajes.. mi mundo era solo pokemon.. ahora q creci.. no lo quiero volver a jugar no xq sienta q este grande o no me guste.. solo quiero recordar esa magia tal como fue... 1ERA/2DA GEN SIEMPRE!!
I used to watch this video a lot back in my middle school days. Damn. I'm 30 now.
Time is a fuck. I wanna kill time, but instead I'm just killing time...or wasting it. Help, impart your wisdom, elder one.
Awesome piano job. You are very talented! You bring back so many memories!
This song and national park are just so...calming.
Easily my favorites in GSC, if not the entire pokemon franchise.
Wow. This brings me back to being six years old. Nostalgia just kicked me in the chin
@Italiano825 I remember losing my cherished pink GameBoy Advanced and being so upset about it. At the time, my older half-sister worked at Toys 'R Us and I got a discount. She said all she needed was $40 and she could buy me the system and the game. So I got $40 in nothing but quarters and gave it to her. I got a pearl blue Gameboy Advance SP (which I later put a Lugia sticker on) and Pokemon Sapphire.
Some of the best days of my life were playing Crystal and chasing Suicune around.

I'm still in awe of this video
Memories shall never be forgotten, tears rolling down from my eyes. Those were the days. . . . . But that was "Beautiful."
Incredible! Great work!
The music makes me want to cry. I'll never experience beauty like my young mind did experiencing this entire new world for the first time.
Hope this guy is still playing, I admire his dedication and choice.
Oh mu god, so much memories. Amazing, just amazing.

thats cuz the song is meant for the piano, but when they put on the gameboy soundtrack as a midi file, and all the notes sounded electronic, the beauty didnt really carry through. This is beautifully played though, and it brings back so many memories.
This song has always sounded really melancholic to me as well
Beautifully done
Our modern day traditional music composers work on video games. Change my mind.
That's a blanket statement so it's obviously not true.

Morty and freaking Chuck were gods to me as a child.
You are goosefleshing me! SUBSCRIBED ALREADY!
Es increíble como lo hace.
Super awesome amazing! You play it great and slowing it down only made it better for me.
Great playing!
This songs rise me to the clouds :)
God noo.... too beautiful
