This brings back so many memorys of when me and my 2 brothers would play silver and gold and trade and help eachother. Before we each grew up one by one till I was left all by my self with just my gameboy and silver and all my memorys....miss you guys whereever u are
I'm 28 and this wow this just transports me back to being outside playing golf version for the first time and just how mesmerized I was with it. God things were so much easier and simpler as a kid, but duh. Idk like someone said don't be sad it's, smile cause it happened.
Man imagine writing this. So limited on available sounds, amount of tracks, its just a kids game, yet you write this beautiful piece. Really masterful work, truly.
@@illwillpress100 That’s true. I’m not saying they weren’t made with kids in mind, I’m saying anyone can enjoy it. I do however, find that Pokémon is less enjoyable than the OG, but the new game kinda has me excited. Just hoping I can get another typhlosion lmao
There’s no back, only forwards. The nostalgic music hit me though, and I wish I could revisit those simpler times, before I knew bad people existed and I would dream about being the best. I wish it were real, more than any other series…. I grew up with Pokémon and I will cherish it for as long as I live ❤
Iwata was the reason Kanto was even in this game, he managed to figure out a way to compress some of the Johto data to fit Kanto into the cartridge. R.I.P Mr Iwata. ; - ;7
+John Huffington No sarcasm at all man. Promise. Wanna play something? Write to me if you feelin down. Got some music and just stuff to be distracted with i can share.
+Bluelight Spike Damn I remember being 5 at the time playing Silver with my lovely Totodile. Although I am glad I've grown up, because I also learned to grow with things around me, including pokemon
im 29 now and had a deep cry today remembering my grandma who passed from covid. she brought me my first gameboy color and gold version for my 8th birthday.
I’m sorry to hear about your grandma and i hope you’re doing okay. My grandma bought me my first game boy advance and all I had was gen 1 and gen 2 games. It’s crazy how time flies. I was a little kid when that happened but now I’m 26. Her house flooded from Hurricane Ida and I remodeled it for her back to brand new. I’d do anything for my grandma, I’m gonna cry my eyes out when her time passes. God bless everyone
💙I'm glad that your Grandmother was able to give you so much joy. It goes to show how much you value her and her memory. May her kindness live on through you my friend.
I'm sorry you lost your Grandmother, man. I hope these games can bring you some level of comfort as you grow in your grief and gradually allow it to be a part of you. I knoe the feeling of losing a very close loved one. Peace and love
Just played through crystal version, I grew up with gold! What I wanna know is what that bug catching judge is on?? My Scyther is CLEARLY better than that pinser or butterfree. xD
there are 3 ways to get points in the bug catching contest: species if pokemon level of the pokemon remaining health a low level pokemon caught at full health earns more points than a high level one at 1hp
Just remember, Kanto wouldn't be in the game if it wasn't for Iwata. He was a great man, and the reason for many Nintendo fans child hoods. RIP Satoru Iwata. Missed yet shall never be forgotten in time...
Soul of Silver Yeah, it sad he's gone but life happens. He'd probably want us to remember him but to move on with life as well and be the best WE can be! RIP Satoru Iwata You will be missed...
I miss the innocence, the curiosity, the happiness that came from little things. Being an adult sucks. For any of you who are still adolescents, enjoy it. It's the most free and happy you can get. I took it for granted unfortunately but I can come back to this and relive it, even just for a few minutes.
adolescent here. i'm turning 16 years old very soon and i feel like my childhood's already mostly left me. but the good thing is it doesn't matter how old we are, we can keep creating new good memories
When I was 7 I vividly remember sitting in the back of my mom's mini van playing this game on a chilly October day on my way to the cider mill to see the rest of my family. I remember this tune playing in the background as I looked out the window, seeing the apple orchards as we pulled up on the gravel parking area. Meeting up with my cousin who also had his Pokemon Silver on him. We battled together as we had fresh donuts and apple cider. I really miss when times were simple and I didn't have a care in the world.
@@Fear369 I don't know how old you are, but as long as you treasure this games you'll feel the same we feel once you become a sad adult like us. Treasure every moment, every situation, every song, every game, then you'll be able to feel and remember only good things from your childhood/teenage years.
Is that lord Crump I see for you profile pic? Have you gotten the Remal yet? If so how do you like? I'm having so much fun reliving my early teenage years!
@@WenegadeWaiduh Not really. I love a lot of its remixes (like what they did with the Team Rocket battle music) but National Park was a bust for me. It's fine as its own thing but it didn't capture the same feeling the GSC rendition did.
I'm 28 now. I remember coming onto this video when I was about 18 and going through the struggles of coming of age, remembering being eight years old and playing Pokemon. I wasn't ready to accept that it was part of a bygone era of my childhood. Ten years passed then, ten years have passed again. That struggle seems so far away now, and adulthood doesn't hurt like it did when I was going through those growing pains. Never forget that feeling of being a child and discovering things for the first time. There's so much more to life you have yet to discover.
This is actually so deep ngl. When you're young all you wanna do is grow up because you think it'll be better and you honestly don't know you're living in the moment until it has passed. The nostalgia of playing pokemon games without a care in the world, trying to finish the game past your bedtime in the dark of your room, trading and battling with friends... those were the days. It's hard to imagine that pokemon was such an integral part of my childhood until now. As you grow older, you're faced with so many more responsibilities all you wanna do is go back. If you're a kid and you're reading this comment, please live in the moment and cherish every experience, and have as much fun as you can. Your childhood only lasts so long.
It sucks im 28 now and I’m bearly bearly getting their.. have a 1 year old but man I miss being a kid.. I’m hoping I can make his life awesome and show him these games
The internal battery of my Crystal version has dried out, when I found it out it was one of the saddest moment of my life as I never restarted the game since I bought it in 2001. The funny thing is that the day before the battery died I played the game after at least five years from the last time and I could see my Pokemons again, for the last time... Golduck, Typhlosion, Rosso (Red Gyarados), Ringhio (Pupitar), Skarmory and Azumarill and the other ones in the box, I still remember the reason of every single nickname I gave them... Damn...
That's why I always recommend saving backups for cartridges, and I play on emulators because of this reason, people always asked me why do you use roms and emulators and this is one major reason why.
It's okay. I thought we'd never see a perfect Pokemon game, but then Black and White came out. We're getting old and the only medicine is keeping youthful. MAYBE. Nostalgia hurts, but in a good way. Not like Indian burn marks but you get the idea. Anyway, Pokemon GSC covers one of the greatest eras to be alive due to its amazing RPG that I would contest is as good as Chrono Trigger and Rudra no Hihou. Thank you for posting this song, Namaste.
+Rutger Murphy I don't really think that Black and White are perfect games. I don't think there is a perfect Pokemon game and there probably never will be.
I find this music... fitting to listen to, now that Satoru Iwata has passed... Mr. Iwata personally compressed the code Gold/Silver to fit Kanto into the game. He also ported the battle system of Pokemon Stadium to the N64 without any reference materials. Mr. Iwata was a gamer and game developer before becoming the executive of a company. The man knew his games, and he knew how to have fun. He will truly be missed...
Giga Man I'm not much of a Pokemon fan myself but I've deep appreciation for Iwata for working with Sakurai when they were developing Smash. For Smash 64, with the initial tech demo for Smash that showcased Mario, DK, Samus and Fox, it was said that Iwata was the one who secretly handed over the character models to Sakurai. It became one of the best gambles to ever pay off. When Melee was set to launch for the 2001 holiday season, Melee hit a period of development hell six weeks before said launch and was going to be delayed into 2002. Iwata, being the clutch master and genius that he is, gathered a group of developers from Nintendo and helped bring Melee back on track for its original release date. And the rest is history.
I guess my opinion Iwata was better person than Miyamoto. Iwata has a heart for respectful to Nintendo company unlike other Nintendo employees, but I don’t know about Sakurai I heard he good person just trying help also similar like Iwata. I mean Sakurai need to rest a lot due to fans forcing him make more characters in Smash Ultimate. Iwata and Sakurai actually really good friends to each others.
I'm a kid here and reading all of these comments of older adults listening and playing Pokemon gold when they were children. It sounds so heartwarming, and the way that the music has so much feeling to it... its just so sweet how a certain audio can make people remember good memories

You can do the same and join us. Play it now and remember it forever:) the only catch ,your peers dont even know about this. Back then all boys had a common ground. We used to trade pokemon. It was up to 50% of what we were interested in.
Same here, a Pokémon fan being younger than 17, seeing all these comments about adults and people in their late teens experiencing nostalgia and sadness gives me mixed emotions. Happy because of how a game can affect their lives and be a big part of them. Sad because I think of "What would my future be like?" or "Can my childhood affect me in some way? Or will I end up forgetting the good things when I was younger than 15?"
You're making me feel old, kiddo. But yeah, those 8-bit games used to be the best gaming experience you could get on the go at the time and it was as enjoyable as modern games are to you. Cherish your youth because you'll be looking back at those moments reminiscing and having a major nostalgia trip just as we are over this little old game.
I was only 8, living through the end of Pokemania. I would play Gold while my parents drove an hour to IKEA or when I had to come with my mom to her office in Huntington Beach. I would play the game as normal, but I'd always come here for the bug contest and to just walk around and listen to this song. Just finding a calm peace in a hyperactive childhood. I was only 17, trying to relive a time where I could feel happiness while in a raging war against depression, a fight that would ultimately lead me to try and take my own life in my high school bathroom. My life wasn't horrible, but I was in an abusive relationship, my grades kept slipping, and I felt like I was drowning in emotions I couldn't understand, as I struggle to grasp the mental conditions that forced their way up as I grew. The song wasn't the same, but the comfort was still there. And I would retreat to the original Gold just to hear the song that made me feel peace as a little kid. I am now 28. I am nowhere near where I hoped I'd be as an adult, but I still have things I never thought I'd have when I was 17. A wife, a condo I just bought, and my first kid on his way. Even at 28 I'm still terrified of what life will be like, and how much more I'll have to grow as an adult to provide for my family. But I hear this song, and 20 years later, the peace still remains. I can fall into this song and for a few minutes, I'm a kid again in the back seat, going to IKEA. Even if it isn't real.
Consider, what if there was something that resolved your nostagia. I don't mean to shun your childhood memories but to fulfill them by having a reason to look forward. Luke 18:15-17
@@Summer_turtle_ pacing doesnt matter when all pokemon games are easy as hell anyways, and i dont know a single soul who plays pokemon for story, gen 2 was revolutionary and in general was a big improvement to pokemon as a whole
2024 type shit. I’m 30. Turning 31 in less than 3 weeks from now. Where has the time gone. Take me back to summer of 2001, when times were easier, when it was just me and my game boy. Not a single care of the world. I feel grateful to have lived my life up until now. God, life is so hard. I pray that things become prosperous for myself and for those around me.
#rewildourland and live in the moment, appreciate the breeze, watch bugs and appreciate plants as alive and that magic will return, we have to make it within ourselves and project it, not just hope for it
Crying at keyboard at midnight because this. You guys, how am I going to become an adult when anything with even a hint of childhood nostalgia like this sends me into a crippling maudlin stupor? ..I'm not ready to grow up.
Ibiss Blaze They also play it just because they love pokemon. Not to revive childhood. A lot are still childs.. just with a beard :) And that is simply fantastic.
Wow, am I an adult already? It feels like yesterday that I got my Gameboy Advanced and only had Pokemon Gold and Red. This music subconsciously brings a tear to my eyes. Time sure flies, huh? I miss being a kid, man. It was so much simpler...
i still remember when my mom picked up my pre order at walmart for gold and silver. played it on my original game boy for 2 weeks because my sister snatched my GBC. where did 15 years of my life go...
Just played through silver again the last couple days. Sad to say that the first 2 gens are truly superior in my opinion. the only other gen to come close was 4th but they spoiled it with the enemy "team" and the pokegods...
As an adult at 29 years. This hit's me as the ten year old boy i was. You may call it stupid. But never forget what kind of music that hit you when you where young. It will never fade away. Never forget what you where as a child. Nintendo will always make you as the child youy where. It will never leave you, so the way you want to forget it.
@keepitsecret-dl1pr This was my old account, dude. I got the game in Christmas in 2000. I was born in 1990 :p Pokemon in the late 90's and early 2000's was still popular among the elder groups considering my age at those times. Even the 12 year old's were into it at that time.
The fact that this video is 14 years old, and some of the comments are talking about remakes, childhoods, moving out to college, the uncertainty of the future and so many other things. 2023 and now those events are in the past as well. There are 1000+ Pokémon, and we're still linked through a 8-bit song that is (at the moment of writing this) 23 damn years old. Holy shit, mate.
I can't believe it was 15 years ago, the first time I hear this song... I even spent so much time in this park because it was so good gosh, I want to go back to my 11-12 years old. Or least I could visit myself and told them "cherish whatever you have now. Keep your gameboy and treasure it. You'll missed it someday when you're 25"
I wish i could go back to the past and encounter with my kid self and tell him the same thing :( cherish every moment of your childhood little one and that thing in your hand, take good care of it and keep it forever with you, trust me it will make your kids happy the day you'll have one
Imagine a nostalgic place from your childhood (maybe your old neighborhood where you and some kids would assemble at one house to play nintendo 64 or pokemon, your local amusement park where your parents would drop you off with a pocket full of quarters to play games, or even that old sandlot baseball field where you and the some kids would hang out after school.), now close yours eyes, picture this setting in a sunset, the mysteries, joys, and inhibitions of youthful naivety fully explored and fulfilled. Now open your eyes, let your memories flow down the river, sad, but forgotten.
Yeah exactly, I remember I'd stand in the National Park area for a few minutes just to listen to the song... funny thing though, I never got to that part while playing the game in the first playthroughs/years because I always had a pkmn-fight going on before that point or left the area xD
Probably one of the best GB themes of all time. So beautifully composed and just another example of talented vg composers in the past who could make the most of the hardware back then and make that teeny tiny sound chip sing
I found my first shiny here. I didn't know what a shiny pokemon was but I knew it was the same effect as red gyarados. It was a Paras, and I thought it was a glitch and I caught it. To my surprise, I didn't win the bug catching contest and I found that very odd.
Honestly same, perhaps it's not about accomplishing something in particular but rather being able to see what we already have with different eyes. Good luck though.
I'm 31. Almost 32 this fall. Been a Pokémon player since Gen I. I saw so many changes to that series. But to my heart, no game ever came close to Gen II and Gen IV's HGSS.
I'm about to be 38. Played these games over 20 years ago for my brother, since my father didn't buy me games, because they were for boys(his reasoning was it's a Gameboy). Just another sad adult here, reminiscing about the past.
Same....I played Gold when I was 5 when it came out.... amazing game....since I didn't really travel during that time of my life, Gold gave me that sense of adventure....simpler and better times back then....
As much as I love what HG/SS did to the music, nothing beats the classic chippy tunes for this game. It fit the atmosphere a ton better. This song is my ultimate proof of that concept.
I mean Nintendo DS can make the music closer to like this music just with high quality with adding emotion like this, not using some remixes like crazy to ruined the original I am just saying. Yeah I heard there GB sound after you get 16 badges, but it not like exactly like the original chiptune instead it using MIDI it just using 8 bits it just little like original. If the remake released on GBA they can make music 100% like original because it compatible to GB and GBC. Nintendo DS only compatible to GBA.
I'm seven years late, but I agree. I think the HG/SS version is actually worse than the original here; It has a nice new intro, but I don't like how 90% of the instruments became a piano, removing the unique "PokéFlute lead" and how they ironically removed the "piano-like notes" that play at 0:59! I think they should've kept this particular song closer to the original, only using pianos for the background notes; That's what I imagine those notes would be if played using samples.
@@XaneMyers A couple of great examples that prove this are Mt Pyre summit 8 bit remix and the Budew Drop Inn 8 bit remix The GBA added those two dedicated channels that could play samples of real instruments and the music was never the same again, I personally feel like it got way to busy and all the different instruments make it harder to hear what's actually going on. Pokemon never needed real instrument or a full orchestra, all it needed was the Gameboy which was it's own instrument. One they had clearly mastered when it came to GSC's OST Like compare RBY's surf theme to GSC's surf theme and it's like going from literal ice cream truck music to something you could play at a wedding
It IS difficult to tell, because of the small screen size of the GBC! But, there's another, like this, too! Whitney's gym is set out to look like a Clefairy!
33 and it touches the right places of the soul. I cannot but cry. Really. I remember being like eight or nine when the craze had just begun and me all in.... Omg i still to this day remember those years and so want them to come back....... If it were only possible. Rivers of tears over here. Pokemon silver and Johto were my favorite. What I would give to have a taste of that again.
when i first heard this song i was such a young kid.. i wasnt this person i am now. i miss who i was. im glad this music had such an impact on all of us. it's very bitter sweet and im grateful to feel these feelings. it reminds me how simple we can be and should be at times. we allow ourselves to get caught up in a lot of peoples bad energy and stress what we really should to is express ourselves with eachother more freely without the feeling of being judged. like when we were little kids who just played games, social class or anything didnt matter. id play pokemon with whomever reads this. love is real just dont let it kill your innocents
This song makes me feel so nostalgic... sad because I realize that my childhood is over (long time ago, i'm 26 yo now, but it's like as if someone had thrown a stone at my head when I hear it)... happy because I had so much fun with this game. When I hear it now I have the sensation that I was really in that world some time, in person. A world without bad things, pure and happy. It's like a book that you really enjoy and you feel sad when it's over. Same thing. It's a feeling like i've been in that place, I had good times but it's over... move on to new priorities, new "adventures". Sad when we realize, everything is gone. We can download roms and emulators, but it's not the same, we have no time now, we have bills to pay, end everything else, we can't go anymore to that world, if u know what I mean, THAT is sad...
@@stewardo Hey man! So many things happened... moved to Canada (I am from Brazil originally)... got married last year and got my Canadian PR last week... thank you for asking! I hope everything is ok with you too! Always think positively, believe in positive energy!!
When people say it’s just a game. Get over it. Like no I had so many memories come back while listening to this theme. The nostalgia and freedom of being a kid no worries just a kid enjoying life. Now we’re all adults with responsibilities and struggles..
my grandfather just passed today. Me and my sister were fight over Pokémon red on our last day in town and he took me to toys r us and got me Pokémon blue before we went back to the airport in 1999. He also got us gold and silver when in came back. Replaying the GB games bring me back to the best part of my childhood. Miss ya already, pop pop RIP
I actually only played this game 3 years ago and yet here I am feeling so nostalgic about it. Can only imagine how those who played it 20 years ago feel. Must be hard to listen to without tearing up.
I played it 20 years ago and everything was different back then. I mean everything was different. The 90s and 2000s were awesome for kids growing up. I really feel like we had the best childhoods. The amount of hours playing this game and battling/trading with friends was really the fun part. And sometimes just playing alone was awesome enough. There wasn’t near as many games as we have now these days but the ones that were good still hold up these days. Pokémon is one of them, especially the first 3 gens. I lost Ruby as a kid and never got to experience the rest of the Pokémon series. I never got a new Ruby and it was literally the most soul crushing thing. All my friends moved on and I still had Pokémon Silver and Gold.
This is literally one of my all-time favorite themes to ever of come out of a Pokemon game. I used to sit and just run the game with my player standing in the National Park just so I could hear it. The hours spent, the adventures had, and memories made into my old copy of Pokemon Crystal will probably never be replicated by another Pokemon game, or any other game for that matter. People always criticize Pokemon games for being repetitive and boring, or a child's game, but not everyone can have the same great experience or say their experience was as memorable or awesome as mine.
Satoru Iwata, the man responsible for this, the greatest generation and for countless fond childhood memories. I didn’t know your name till now, but rest with the knowledge that you brought countless wonderful memories to children and adults throughout the world and no matter where we are, we’ll never forgot those memories, nor will they fail to remind us of happier times. God bless you ❤️ ✝️
I couldn’t have expressed it better. God Bless everyone in this comment section and Mr. Iwata. I don’t think he knows how much we appreciate what he did for us. The man is responsible for us having a good childhood in these games
im just a 13 year old kid, my life is sad most of the time, and i know people have it way harder then me. ive been bullied alot and im a social outcast, i only have two friends and one of them is popular. and despite all of this, when i listen at this music for a RPG game meant for 10 year olds, i feel complete and better. i think about how middle school drama doesnt matter in my future life. i should just live my life to the fullest, and be a good person. this music made me cry
I hope you're doing ok. As a 31 year old my advice is to try your best not to let it make you bitter. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.
Its crazy, I can remember my old living room so vividly while listening to this All the cheap candles my mom had all around the living room, The guitar hero sitting next to the TV All my friends bikes right outside the house, My dads HUGE old windows XP computer in the corner All because of a little tune i used to play on repeat as a kid Music is some crazy stuff.
came here for pokemon music...found a bunch of sad adults. honestly same tho lol
same...
Always come for the music but find myself leaving pretty depressed
Not sad, just reminiscing my childhood.
Same...
You knew what I'm thiking
First time playing this was in 2001, with 8 years old, now Im 28 and remembering these moments with my pokemon
0:56 Beat goes hard.
I remember having this game on vc (because I don’t have a gbc)
And when I got here I was like “wow for a game boy this sounds amazing”
I can't stop these tears from rolling down my face
when i walked along the national park, i used to stop to listen to this beautiful song...
This brings back so many memorys of when me and my 2 brothers would play silver and gold and trade and help eachother. Before we each grew up one by one till I was left all by my self with just my gameboy and silver and all my memorys....miss you guys whereever u are
I never even played this game why am i crying
I'm not crying, you're crying..
Ugh this song gives me goosebumps 💝 crystal was the first 2nd gen game I played as a kid. Always a special place in my heart.
i remember listening to this so many time on my game boy playing pokemon silver, i really miss those days.
the nostalgia is bliss.
I just want to go back.
Lost my job yesterday..
But hey,
Life goes on..
Even when I first heard this i knew this track was special.
Feliz navidad a toda la gente que viene cada cierto tiempo a soñar despierto con esta canción, a tiempos dónde todo era más fácil.
The nostalgia is strong with this one.
I'm 28 and this wow this just transports me back to being outside playing golf version for the first time and just how mesmerized I was with it. God things were so much easier and simpler as a kid, but duh. Idk like someone said don't be sad it's, smile cause it happened.

im 29 now and had a deep cry today remembering my grandma who passed from covid. she brought me my first gameboy color and gold version for my 8th birthday.
I’m sorry to hear about your grandma and i hope you’re doing okay. My grandma bought me my first game boy advance and all I had was gen 1 and gen 2 games. It’s crazy how time flies. I was a little kid when that happened but now I’m 26. Her house flooded from Hurricane Ida and I remodeled it for her back to brand new. I’d do anything for my grandma, I’m gonna cry my eyes out when her time passes. God bless everyone
Nothing but love for the grandmas they gave us that soft spot
💙I'm glad that your Grandmother was able to give you so much joy. It goes to show how much you value her and her memory. May her kindness live on through you my friend.
It was nice of her to get you one of the best games ever.
I'm sorry you lost your Grandmother, man. I hope these games can bring you some level of comfort as you grow in your grief and gradually allow it to be a part of you. I knoe the feeling of losing a very close loved one. Peace and love
Just played through crystal version, I grew up with gold! What I wanna know is what that bug catching judge is on?? My Scyther is CLEARLY better than that pinser or butterfree. xD

level of the pokemon
remaining health
a low level pokemon caught at full health earns more points than a high level one at 1hp

Just remember, Kanto wouldn't be in the game if it wasn't for Iwata. He was a great man, and the reason for many Nintendo fans child hoods. RIP Satoru Iwata. Missed yet shall never be forgotten in time...
Taver Doo Rest In Peace iwata we loved you.
Soul of Silver Yeah, it sad he's gone but life happens. He'd probably want us to remember him but to move on with life as well and be the best WE can be! RIP Satoru Iwata You will be missed...
Grantendo 64 and we still do
Yeah, true. But... What does National Park have to do with Kanto, it's in Johto.
Nintendo is shit they deleted pokemon brick bronze burn in hell Iwata
I miss the innocence, the curiosity, the happiness that came from little things. Being an adult sucks. For any of you who are still adolescents, enjoy it. It's the most free and happy you can get. I took it for granted unfortunately but I can come back to this and relive it, even just for a few minutes.
adolescent here. i'm turning 16 years old very soon and i feel like my childhood's already mostly left me. but the good thing is it doesn't matter how old we are, we can keep creating new good memories

When I was 7 I vividly remember sitting in the back of my mom's mini van playing this game on a chilly October day on my way to the cider mill to see the rest of my family. I remember this tune playing in the background as I looked out the window, seeing the apple orchards as we pulled up on the gravel parking area. Meeting up with my cousin who also had his Pokemon Silver on him. We battled together as we had fresh donuts and apple cider.
I really miss when times were simple and I didn't have a care in the world.
I honestly start playing pokemon when I was teen, I hope learn how that feelings are :(
@@Fear369 I don't know how old you are, but as long as you treasure this games you'll feel the same we feel once you become a sad adult like us. Treasure every moment, every situation, every song, every game, then you'll be able to feel and remember only good things from your childhood/teenage years.
Imagining this music playing in a cold october morning is actually *very* fitting
Is that lord Crump I see for you profile pic? Have you gotten the Remal yet? If so how do you like? I'm having so much fun reliving my early teenage years!
This music makes me cry.

+WonkyTonkBotty i remember when my father gave me pokemon silver. It was my first pokemon game, and my first game ever. I miss childhood
+gardaland92 That makes two of us, dude. :,(
Quite possibly the most beautiful song to ever come out of Pokemon.... something so simple yet emotional...
Thorozak_ I know, I wish to back to the simpler times ;-;
This theme is way more complex than most pop songs
HGSS version is amazing too
@@WenegadeWaiduh Not really. I love a lot of its remixes (like what they did with the Team Rocket battle music) but National Park was a bust for me. It's fine as its own thing but it didn't capture the same feeling the GSC rendition did.
@@Onigirli The beginning piano section is the best new addition to the song though in the remake.
I'm 28 now. I remember coming onto this video when I was about 18 and going through the struggles of coming of age, remembering being eight years old and playing Pokemon. I wasn't ready to accept that it was part of a bygone era of my childhood. Ten years passed then, ten years have passed again. That struggle seems so far away now, and adulthood doesn't hurt like it did when I was going through those growing pains.
Never forget that feeling of being a child and discovering things for the first time. There's so much more to life you have yet to discover.
im turning 18 in a few months and thats about where i am and this makes me feel a little better about it all
hahaha 26 here and this feels like a callout post GG dude lmao
thank you :)
This is actually so deep ngl. When you're young all you wanna do is grow up because you think it'll be better and you honestly don't know you're living in the moment until it has passed. The nostalgia of playing pokemon games without a care in the world, trying to finish the game past your bedtime in the dark of your room, trading and battling with friends... those were the days. It's hard to imagine that pokemon was such an integral part of my childhood until now. As you grow older, you're faced with so many more responsibilities all you wanna do is go back. If you're a kid and you're reading this comment, please live in the moment and cherish every experience, and have as much fun as you can. Your childhood only lasts so long.
It sucks im 28 now and I’m bearly bearly getting their.. have a 1 year old but man I miss being a kid.. I’m hoping I can make his life awesome and show him these games
The internal battery of my Crystal version has dried out, when I found it out it was one of the saddest moment of my life as I never restarted the game since I bought it in 2001. The funny thing is that the day before the battery died I played the game after at least five years from the last time and I could see my Pokemons again, for the last time... Golduck, Typhlosion, Rosso (Red Gyarados), Ringhio (Pupitar), Skarmory and Azumarill and the other ones in the box, I still remember the reason of every single nickname I gave them... Damn...

It's okay. I thought we'd never see a perfect Pokemon game, but then Black and White came out. We're getting old and the only medicine is keeping youthful. MAYBE. Nostalgia hurts, but in a good way. Not like Indian burn marks but you get the idea. Anyway, Pokemon GSC covers one of the greatest eras to be alive due to its amazing RPG that I would contest is as good as Chrono Trigger and Rudra no Hihou. Thank you for posting this song, Namaste.
+Rutger Murphy I don't really think that Black and White are perfect games. I don't think there is a perfect Pokemon game and there probably never will be.
RIP Mr. Iwata :'(
Vanimation thats what made me come to this my first pokemon game wait scratch that nintendo game. did it for iwata, R.I.P. iwata.
Screw you John Huffington That man made my childhood
...Wow, this was cancer.
Darkness X03 I got lukemia from this.
John Huffington Notice how you are the majority of the comments.
I find this music... fitting to listen to, now that Satoru Iwata has passed... Mr. Iwata personally compressed the code Gold/Silver to fit Kanto into the game. He also ported the battle system of Pokemon Stadium to the N64 without any reference materials.
Mr. Iwata was a gamer and game developer before becoming the executive of a company. The man knew his games, and he knew how to have fun. He will truly be missed...
do you know who composed this music?its amazing even if it was aimed for some 8bit children's game....
See the composer list here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver
Giga Man
I'm not much of a Pokemon fan myself but I've deep appreciation for Iwata for working with Sakurai when they were developing Smash.
For Smash 64, with the initial tech demo for Smash that showcased Mario, DK, Samus and Fox, it was said that Iwata was the one who secretly handed over the character models to Sakurai. It became one of the best gambles to ever pay off.
When Melee was set to launch for the 2001 holiday season, Melee hit a period of development hell six weeks before said launch and was going to be delayed into 2002. Iwata, being the clutch master and genius that he is, gathered a group of developers from Nintendo and helped bring Melee back on track for its original release date. And the rest is history.
What do you mean they ported the Pokemon Stadium battle system to the N64? Was the original Stadium on the Apple II or what?
I guess my opinion Iwata was better person than Miyamoto. Iwata has a heart for respectful to Nintendo company unlike other Nintendo employees, but I don’t know about Sakurai I heard he good person just trying help also similar like Iwata. I mean Sakurai need to rest a lot due to fans forcing him make more characters in Smash Ultimate. Iwata and Sakurai actually really good friends to each others.
The song is just truly emotional and touching. It is impossible to hear it without succumbing to emotion, I think for everyone.
Never played this game, yet this and Azalea Town bring me to tears, the composer sure is a genius
@keepitsecret-dl1pr Not by much but it's hard to top ecruteak
I'm a kid here and reading all of these comments of older adults listening and playing Pokemon gold when they were children. It sounds so heartwarming, and the way that the music has so much feeling to it... its just so sweet how a certain audio can make people remember good memories
You can do the same and join us. Play it now and remember it forever:) the only catch ,your peers dont even know about this. Back then all boys had a common ground. We used to trade pokemon. It was up to 50% of what we were interested in.
i'm a 16 year old who just got into Pokemon-
@@sillyasterisk hope you have a great time!
Same here, a Pokémon fan being younger than 17, seeing all these comments about adults and people in their late teens experiencing nostalgia and sadness gives me mixed emotions. Happy because of how a game can affect their lives and be a big part of them. Sad because I think of "What would my future be like?" or "Can my childhood affect me in some way? Or will I end up forgetting the good things when I was younger than 15?"
You're making me feel old, kiddo. But yeah, those 8-bit games used to be the best gaming experience you could get on the go at the time and it was as enjoyable as modern games are to you. Cherish your youth because you'll be looking back at those moments reminiscing and having a major nostalgia trip just as we are over this little old game.
Much time was spent here.
Putting the gameboy on my ear for 6 hours straight.
I used to love this song too
@Hypoz nice
What a great way to waste batteries
I did the exact same thing
SAME
I was only 8, living through the end of Pokemania. I would play Gold while my parents drove an hour to IKEA or when I had to come with my mom to her office in Huntington Beach. I would play the game as normal, but I'd always come here for the bug contest and to just walk around and listen to this song. Just finding a calm peace in a hyperactive childhood.
I was only 17, trying to relive a time where I could feel happiness while in a raging war against depression, a fight that would ultimately lead me to try and take my own life in my high school bathroom. My life wasn't horrible, but I was in an abusive relationship, my grades kept slipping, and I felt like I was drowning in emotions I couldn't understand, as I struggle to grasp the mental conditions that forced their way up as I grew. The song wasn't the same, but the comfort was still there. And I would retreat to the original Gold just to hear the song that made me feel peace as a little kid.
I am now 28. I am nowhere near where I hoped I'd be as an adult, but I still have things I never thought I'd have when I was 17. A wife, a condo I just bought, and my first kid on his way. Even at 28 I'm still terrified of what life will be like, and how much more I'll have to grow as an adult to provide for my family. But I hear this song, and 20 years later, the peace still remains. I can fall into this song and for a few minutes, I'm a kid again in the back seat, going to IKEA. Even if it isn't real.
Consider, what if there was something that resolved your nostagia. I don't mean to shun your childhood memories but to fulfill them by having a reason to look forward.
Luke 18:15-17
Hmm

Nothing will ever match Gen 2 and all the things it added.
Other than the fact that the pacing is atrocious and the story is all over the place but it has some banger themes, that’s for sure
@@Summer_turtle_ pacing doesnt matter when all pokemon games are easy as hell anyways, and i dont know a single soul who plays pokemon for story, gen 2 was revolutionary and in general was a big improvement to pokemon as a whole

2024 type shit. I’m 30. Turning 31 in less than 3 weeks from now. Where has the time gone. Take me back to summer of 2001, when times were easier, when it was just me and my game boy. Not a single care of the world. I feel grateful to have lived my life up until now. God, life is so hard. I pray that things become prosperous for myself and for those around me.
#rewildourland and live in the moment, appreciate the breeze, watch bugs and appreciate plants as alive and that magic will return, we have to make it within ourselves and project it, not just hope for it
Crying at keyboard at midnight because this. You guys, how am I going to become an adult when anything with even a hint of childhood nostalgia like this sends me into a crippling maudlin stupor? ..I'm not ready to grow up.
Neither i'm I. I share your feeling bro :'))

Adults play Pokemon to revive their childhood, no?
Correct Ibiss Blaze

They also play it just because they love pokemon. Not to revive childhood. A lot are still childs.. just with a beard :)
And that is simply fantastic.
You ain gotta grow up, get up, stand up and then Live up.
Wow, am I an adult already?
It feels like yesterday that I got my Gameboy Advanced and only had Pokemon Gold and Red. This music subconsciously brings a tear to my eyes. Time sure flies, huh?
I miss being a kid, man. It was so much simpler...
Im 30 and yet a child!! ;D I'll never leave my interior child goes away!

lol same bruh. 28 years young and I still come back to listen to this tune every now and then!
i still remember when my mom picked up my pre order at walmart for gold and silver. played it on my original game boy for 2 weeks because my sister snatched my GBC. where did 15 years of my life go...
if i'm like 60 years old I will still play pokemon
Just played through silver again the last couple days. Sad to say that the first 2 gens are truly superior in my opinion. the only other gen to come close was 4th but they spoiled it with the enemy "team" and the pokegods...
We'll never have those times again will we?
Never 💫
Rest in Peace Iwata
Now we understand
Dude this was months ago calm down lol
John Huffington *clearly you have not understood*
As an adult at 29 years.
This hit's me as the ten year old boy i was.
You may call it stupid.
But never forget what kind of music that hit you when you where young.
It will never fade away.
Never forget what you where as a child.
Nintendo will always make you as the child youy where.
It will never leave you, so the way you want to forget it.
so true, you and me shares the same age I understand what u are saying. We can no longer play games the same way like the old stress free days.
Well true and all but damn that broken english , i cant be the only one seeing this .
Yea things never impact you the way when like you’re a child. And you don’t really ever forget that.
I'll call you stupid anyway
@keepitsecret-dl1pr This was my old account, dude. I got the game in Christmas in 2000. I was born in 1990 :p
Pokemon in the late 90's and early 2000's was still popular among the elder groups considering my age at those times. Even the 12 year old's were into it at that time.
Why can't I be this happy again?
You can bud. You just need to find something that makes you as happy as this once did 😌
@@k1LLeRtUrTLe I am trying. Thank you.
The fact that this video is 14 years old, and some of the comments are talking about remakes, childhoods, moving out to college, the uncertainty of the future and so many other things.
2023 and now those events are in the past as well. There are 1000+ Pokémon, and we're still linked through a 8-bit song that is (at the moment of writing this) 23 damn years old.
Holy shit, mate.
Ikr I come back to this ost from time to time. Idk why but this music just feels incredibly nostalgic and gives me a bit of depression :')
Fr some dudes talking about how he’s old now and he used to watch this same video for nostalgia when it first came out
I can't believe it was 15 years ago, the first time I hear this song... I even spent so much time in this park because it was so good
gosh, I want to go back to my 11-12 years old. Or least I could visit myself and told them "cherish whatever you have now. Keep your gameboy and treasure it. You'll missed it someday when you're 25"
im crying from the feels
***** Gold and Silver aren't very expensive unless you want it in box.
I wish i could go back to the past and encounter with my kid self and tell him the same thing :( cherish every moment of your childhood little one and that thing in your hand, take good care of it and keep it forever with you, trust me it will make your kids happy the day you'll have one

Who else went there after getting the shit beat out of by Whitney's milktank?
Reading the comments while this music plays in the background really hits me in the feels
Imagine a nostalgic place from your childhood (maybe your old neighborhood where you and some kids would assemble at one house to play nintendo 64 or pokemon, your local amusement park where your parents would drop you off with a pocket full of quarters to play games, or even that old sandlot baseball field where you and the some kids would hang out after school.), now close yours eyes, picture this setting in a sunset, the mysteries, joys, and inhibitions of youthful naivety fully explored and fulfilled. Now open your eyes, let your memories flow down the river, sad, but forgotten.
@Matthew Gales bro I'm experiencing a pirated version for the first time and I'm getting hit with nostalgia of memories nonexistent.
Same here.
Turning 30 this month. I need the clock to rewind.
The drop and 0:57 gets me every time!
Yeah exactly, I remember I'd stand in the National Park area for a few minutes just to listen to the song... funny thing though, I never got to that part while playing the game in the first playthroughs/years because I always had a pkmn-fight going on before that point or left the area xD
The part where you stop being sad and move on.
There is definitely something that is lost from the evolution of 8 bit music to today's music in games. I love both.
TH-camUser damn, really had to make the comment edgy, huh?
@ I wouldn't necessarily say that about the music, but I definitely would about the graphics.
look at undertales,
its all technical restrictions,
both have their charm tho
Can I be 5 again? I've been an adult for a little while now, and it sorta isn't fun.
Being an adult is WAY overrated anyways.
Unfortunately, being an adult is permanent...
Probably one of the best GB themes of all time. So beautifully composed and just another example of talented vg composers in the past who could make the most of the hardware back then and make that teeny tiny sound chip sing
I remember I encountered a shiny Caterpie here and it fled :(
I found my first shiny here. I didn't know what a shiny pokemon was but I knew it was the same effect as red gyarados. It was a Paras, and I thought it was a glitch and I caught it. To my surprise, I didn't win the bug catching contest and I found that very odd.
@falcore that's what makes pokemon those moments we grow up we look back at it and just remember the good times the nostalgia is real
Life never worked out the way I wanted it too. Don't think there's much left for me here in this life... but I'll always remember my childhood fondly.
Take care of yourself. You bring something unique to this world that no one else can.
Honestly same, perhaps it's not about accomplishing something in particular but rather being able to see what we already have with different eyes. Good luck though.
as a wise philosopher once said... if you have nothing left to lose, you win.
I feel the same brother ❤️ stay strong life will reward us soon
I'm 31. Almost 32 this fall. Been a Pokémon player since Gen I. I saw so many changes to that series. But to my heart, no game ever came close to Gen II and Gen IV's HGSS.

MrSpagh3tti 0:58 with the 4 little notes
LAnite430 I wish it had that 😭
that kinda sucks, it’s like the best part of the song
Remake music really didn't capture the spirit of the originals, sucks man
@@UreksatheJade I wouldn't say it sucked but it wasn't as good as the OG
I'm about to be 38. Played these games over 20 years ago for my brother, since my father didn't buy me games, because they were for boys(his reasoning was it's a Gameboy). Just another sad adult here, reminiscing about the past.
Same....I played Gold when I was 5 when it came out.... amazing game....since I didn't really travel during that time of my life, Gold gave me that sense of adventure....simpler and better times back then....
As much as I love what HG/SS did to the music, nothing beats the classic chippy tunes for this game. It fit the atmosphere a ton better. This song is my ultimate proof of that concept.
I mean Nintendo DS can make the music closer to like this music just with high quality with adding emotion like this, not using some remixes like crazy to ruined the original I am just saying. Yeah I heard there GB sound after you get 16 badges, but it not like exactly like the original chiptune instead it using MIDI it just using 8 bits it just little like original. If the remake released on GBA they can make music 100% like original because it compatible to GB and GBC. Nintendo DS only compatible to GBA.
So glad they added the GB sounds
I'm seven years late, but I agree. I think the HG/SS version is actually worse than the original here; It has a nice new intro, but I don't like how 90% of the instruments became a piano, removing the unique "PokéFlute lead" and how they ironically removed the "piano-like notes" that play at 0:59!
I think they should've kept this particular song closer to the original, only using pianos for the background notes; That's what I imagine those notes would be if played using samples.
@@XaneMyersAsh (4Kids): they should have that, WAHH LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO US IN OUR ANIME IT TERRIBLE. Unless remake was on GBA
@@XaneMyers A couple of great examples that prove this are Mt Pyre summit 8 bit remix and the Budew Drop Inn 8 bit remix
The GBA added those two dedicated channels that could play samples of real instruments and the music was never the same again, I personally feel like it got way to busy and all the different instruments make it harder to hear what's actually going on.
Pokemon never needed real instrument or a full orchestra, all it needed was the Gameboy which was it's own instrument. One they had clearly mastered when it came to GSC's OST
Like compare RBY's surf theme to GSC's surf theme and it's like going from literal ice cream truck music to something you could play at a wedding
Never knew it was in a pokeball shape. XD
It IS difficult to tell, because of the small screen size of the GBC! But, there's another, like this, too! Whitney's gym is set out to look like a Clefairy!
You know now
more like an unown shape
Looks kinda like a Porygon Z to me :/
MrWalalaa get the hell out
I'm 32. I listened to this song a month ago and the nostalgia hit me so hard I ended up learning the song on the piano.

And cities.
And elevators.
It’s gonna be okay.
You made me cry, seriously, tank you so much ❤
I keep telling myself that but it really isn’t okay.
when i first heard this song i was such a young kid.. i wasnt this person i am now. i miss who i was. im glad this music had such an impact on all of us. it's very bitter sweet and im grateful to feel these feelings. it reminds me how simple we can be and should be at times. we allow ourselves to get caught up in a lot of peoples bad energy and stress what we really should to is express ourselves with eachother more freely without the feeling of being judged. like when we were little kids who just played games, social class or anything didnt matter. id play pokemon with whomever reads this. love is real just dont let it kill your innocents
+Miles Scharp so true :')
Excuse me while I cry my room into a pool
thank you..
This song makes me feel so nostalgic... sad because I realize that my childhood is over (long time ago, i'm 26 yo now, but it's like as if someone had thrown a stone at my head when I hear it)... happy because I had so much fun with this game. When I hear it now I have the sensation that I was really in that world some time, in person. A world without bad things, pure and happy. It's like a book that you really enjoy and you feel sad when it's over. Same thing. It's a feeling like i've been in that place, I had good times but it's over... move on to new priorities, new "adventures". Sad when we realize, everything is gone. We can download roms and emulators, but it's not the same, we have no time now, we have bills to pay, end everything else, we can't go anymore to that world, if u know what I mean, THAT is sad...
5 years later.. hows it going?
Hope all is well nowadays

When people say it’s just a game. Get over it. Like no I had so many memories come back while listening to this theme. The nostalgia and freedom of being a kid no worries just a kid enjoying life. Now we’re all adults with responsibilities and struggles..
Idk why but I almost started crying at 0:57
honestly still prefer this to the hgss version
something about 0:57 just hits so different

The past may be forever gone, but it lives through the memories we will never forget.

Cheers to fuckin Gen 2 guys. What an era to live through
We didn't know we were making memories, we wre just having fun.
my grandfather just passed today. Me and my sister were fight over Pokémon red on our last day in town and he took me to toys r us and got me Pokémon blue before we went back to the airport in 1999. He also got us gold and silver when in came back. Replaying the GB games bring me back to the best part of my childhood. Miss ya already, pop pop RIP
I actually only played this game 3 years ago and yet here I am feeling so nostalgic about it. Can only imagine how those who played it 20 years ago feel. Must be hard to listen to without tearing up.
I played it 20 years ago and everything was different back then. I mean everything was different. The 90s and 2000s were awesome for kids growing up. I really feel like we had the best childhoods. The amount of hours playing this game and battling/trading with friends was really the fun part. And sometimes just playing alone was awesome enough. There wasn’t near as many games as we have now these days but the ones that were good still hold up these days. Pokémon is one of them, especially the first 3 gens. I lost Ruby as a kid and never got to experience the rest of the Pokémon series. I never got a new Ruby and it was literally the most soul crushing thing. All my friends moved on and I still had Pokémon Silver and Gold.
This is literally one of my all-time favorite themes to ever of come out of a Pokemon game. I used to sit and just run the game with my player standing in the National Park just so I could hear it. The hours spent, the adventures had, and memories made into my old copy of Pokemon Crystal will probably never be replicated by another Pokemon game, or any other game for that matter. People always criticize Pokemon games for being repetitive and boring, or a child's game, but not everyone can have the same great experience or say their experience was as memorable or awesome as mine.
Satoru Iwata, the man responsible for this, the greatest generation and for countless fond childhood memories. I didn’t know your name till now, but rest with the knowledge that you brought countless wonderful memories to children and adults throughout the world and no matter where we are, we’ll never forgot those memories, nor will they fail to remind us of happier times. God bless you ❤️ ✝️
I couldn’t have expressed it better. God Bless everyone in this comment section and Mr. Iwata. I don’t think he knows how much we appreciate what he did for us. The man is responsible for us having a good childhood in these games
Iwata rip we will miss you forever but we will never forget you
AlexG If you mean that Iwata helped program the game, well yes, because the songs were made by other people, just in case I say so.
@@DomingoGarciaRD Yes, more specifically Go Ichinose
Where did all the innocence go..?
Bill Board I ask myself the same thing too
y u ask this question? u trying to make me cry
who remember the bug catching contest 😭👌
linus 👎👎👎
I always lost.
Always grinded it so I could get a scyther
Bug catching contests are what inspired Pokemon, bring em back
linus til this day I still have Pokemon caught in sport balls that I caught in gen 4. I do like how the pokeball can now be transferred down
I remember giving my eevee a soothe bell and running all over the park so that I can get her happiness meter up and evolve her into an Espeon 😭
25 yrs old and still listening to this... haha
this song is so beautiful
Who else was reminded of this gem after watching Charles Cornell's video?
Hell yeah
This got recommended after Charles Cornell did his video breaking up this song
im just a 13 year old kid, my life is sad most of the time, and i know people have it way harder then me. ive been bullied alot and im a social outcast, i only have two friends and one of them is popular. and despite all of this, when i listen at this music for a RPG game meant for 10 year olds, i feel complete and better. i think about how middle school drama doesnt matter in my future life. i should just live my life to the fullest, and be a good person. this music made me cry
I hope you're doing ok. As a 31 year old my advice is to try your best not to let it make you bitter. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.
Its crazy, I can remember my old living room so vividly while listening to this
All the cheap candles my mom had all around the living room, The guitar hero sitting next to the TV
All my friends bikes right outside the house, My dads HUGE old windows XP computer in the corner
All because of a little tune i used to play on repeat as a kid
Music is some crazy stuff.
