I think this theme is really underrated. Not all music has to flow smoothly and expectantly throughout the song. This theme really shows the unpredictability and danger, yet underlying stability reminiscent of the deep sea. Also since it's a Johto main game legend pokemon, it has various Johto-standard theme elements mixed in. This is the type of song that a victory road or region champion would get, and that's suprisingly fitting for one of the more mysterious and powerful of the legendary pokemon.
Little Nightfuy17 the Strike Titan opposite case for me, HE JUST WOULDNT GET IN THE ULTRA BALL(wouldnt even shake)!thankfully after resetting i managed to catch him in 1 ball, a poke ball specificly..
ho-oh battle theme: We shall have a truly decisive battle. Whoever reigns victorious is the greatest in the world. lugia battle theme: GET OUT OF MY CAVE!!! SHOO!!! ALL OF YOU!!!
I like how this music is perfect for what's actually happening in Silver. it has the bubbly effects because you're standing in front of a waterfall below sea-level on an island in the middle of nowhere you can hear the tension build up as you expect something approaching The beginning is really intense, cuz a 40-foot tall bird just came out of nowhere and is screaming in your face the middle calms down cuz you start to realize that it's not malicious, but just kind of grumpy and "leave me alone" and then it snaps back to faster paced music when you remember that you're in the middle of a fight
Lugia has a swamp. . . . . .xD The 3 birds he has charge off all get their own islands to chill on meanwhile Lugia just has a swamp and he swims with the magikarps :P
Lugia is my favorite legendary since the moment I saw it on Pokemon 2000. The little teasers they kept showing of it throughout the movie. A shadow moving in the depths of the sea, with glowing blue eyes and a melodious cry. It was mesmerizing. And when they finally revealed it, coming out of that water vortex like a boss.... I was sad when it dived back into the ocean at the end of the movie.
For those who wonder why this track sounds all over the place, Lugia's Pokedex entry tells you it took itself away from Humanity because of how destructive it was, without even being so. Why does this theme sound all over the place? You've just walked into its home, flipped it the bird and said "Come at me you bastard!" You really think he's happy you're there?
Most people (including me) wonder why Lugia wasn't water/flying and is psychic/flying instead. I found that there's an official answer to it: They made Lugia a psychic type because psychic was one of if not the most powerful type at the time, and they wanted Lugia to be powerful. So basically the *guardian of the sea* isn't a water type cause they wanted it to look strong.
Actually, Lugia has clairvoyance and can read minds. I'd say that they should've made Lugia water, flying, AND psychic type because I like how the psychic goes with their wise and strong personality. But maybe the writers were scared to use too many types at once. In any case Lugia is still one of my top favorites when it comes to pokemon
Well, Lugia's origins aren't even from the sea anyways so making it a psychic type would make sense in a way lol. But then again, Lugia wasn't even supposed to be in the video games in the first place heard it was a last second thing which probably explains why the games themselves don't really mention much about Lugia's lore compared to Ho-Oh and the 3 beasts.
Nah, i like my typing. The whole knowing almost everything is a huge plus and besides I'd get destroyed by electric type moves. Then I wouldn't be able to keep those dastardly birds in check
This feels like the JRPG song in Pokemon. While other Legendaries have themes that show that they're majestic creatures, Lugia's very WINGFLAPS cause storms. You aren't just fighting a majestic creature you're fighting something that is a literal force of nature just by existing.
Ho-oh: Pretty standard stuff. Look, he's gonna say ''what are you doing in my swamp'' Lugia to trainer: ''wHaT aRe YoU dOiNg In My SwAmP???????????????''
Lugia has many things over Ho-Oh. Its own movie. Popularity. Recognition in the anime. The favor of most Pokemon fans as opposed to those who favor its counterpart. But a better theme than Ho-Oh's? Nope. Lugia does not have that.
*is playing soulsilver* Me:wow i can't wait to find the legendary *LUGIA JUMPS OUT* Me:cool *battles it* Me:what's it theme sound like *first 2 seconds happen* Me:OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
Notice how the entire song sounds cleaner, but uses the same instrumentation. That is a Remaster. if it used different instruments like you expected, it would be a Cover.
cynda wu Knowing how bulky this thing is, Lugia will take only like one Electric hit and then hit it with an Earth Power. (which he does get via tutor)
Ho-oh: you have arrived, let us have an honourable duel to test your worth for my friendship. Lugia: What. The. Heck. Are. You. Doing. IN. MA. SWAAAAAAAMP.
better than ho-oh's theme imo. i adore how the song constantly changes, you never know what's coming next. there's some more majestic parts and more chaotic parts, really representing what a legendary can be.
I love the inconsistency in this theme! It shows that anything can happen around Lugia a random wave will wash you away, he decides to flap his wings, causing destruction (because why not? XD)
Yo the beggining is creepy tho. Its like imagin u walk into a cave with a huuge lake or pool of water...u just hear bubbling, alot and the cave is shaking abit. Then suddenly something Huuuuuge rises and is floating above u. Angered that u interupted his slumber, and is attacking. U dodge luckily..its standing infront of the entrance of the cave..preventing u from exiting. U know whats coming.. *A WILD LUGIA APPEARED* u try running but *You cant escape*
I'm glad they chose to not remix the other legendary themes out side of gen 3. Its for nostalgia. And it will be kick ass catching them all to their old themes in 3D!!
Ho-Oh: I'm a mythical bird that is common in many traditions, I look like many other birds Lugia: EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT ME AND MY HAND WINGS SO I'M GOING TO TEAR ANYONE WHO ENTERS MY CAVE IN HALF
It's funny cause Masuda played a few notes for Ichinose to help give him ideas for Lugia's theme and what he got out of that was "slam piano keys very hard"
It really sucks that the only reason this dude isn't a Water/Dragon was because Gamefreak were being a bunch of weirdos and going against the designer's intentions. Like Lugia is literally a dragon, that guards the ocean, living underwater. But nah, it has wings so flying, and psychic bc "the type denotes strength".
@@Attaxalotl It is only the gaurdian of the ocean, not the oceans sea monster. Just because it swims doesn't mean it should be a water type. That's like saying Snorlax or Ryhdon should be a water type because they can learn surf to swim. It moved to the sea so it didn't threaten people, people it's gust were stronger enough to destroy cities and towns in a single blow.
@@boxiannn Actually Ho-Oh and Lugia can be evenly matched. Ho-Oh is the Powerful Bulky one, and Lugia is the Speedy Bulky one. Ho-Oh exceeds Lugia in all forms of attacking, and they both have the same special defense and max HP. Lugia is only better in Defense and Speed. It's Max Attack and Special Attack is the same at only 306, but Ho-Oh's Max Special Defense is 447. Ho-Oh's Attack is 394 and Special Attack is 350. They have the same Base Total, but Ho-Oh is better. There's not to many strong physical water moves that can beat it, but moves like Aqua Tail.
I love the contrast between the themes of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh's theme sounds like a divine creature descended from the heavens to grant the people who summoned it an honorable challenge to see if the summoners are worthy of its companionship. A song befitting a noble guardian of the sky, powerful but pure of heart. Lugia's theme, on the other hand, sounds like the people who summoned it have unleashed a monster; a destructive force of nature that wants revenge on those that disturbed its slumber. A song befitting an awakened beast, pissed off and ready to destroy all before it.
Ho-oh theme: A majestic ritual battle of elegance and grace. Only the most devoted and skilled will emerge victorious. Lugia theme: *Y O U W I L L D R O W N*
Ho-oh's theme: Hey buddy, catch. It's called friendship cuz you're a pretty worthy kid Lugia's theme: Thank you for coming, *because you about to catch these hands. Put your paws up homie, run em up*
I enjoyed both remastered Ho-Oh and Lugia pieces in HGSS. It was especially creative to give Lugia more Western influence in his theme whilst giving Ho-Oh more Eastern influence in his theme. I think that's the motif they had with these two since Gold and Silver, but HGSS gave them more of an opportunity to emphasize that.
I've had the tune from 0:50 to 1:00 stuck in my head for a year, not knowing where it's from, but then today I stumbled upon this song and realized how cool it was all over again.
The only water moves Lugia learns by level up are Hydro Pump and Rain Dance. Iirc the lore explanation is that it just lives deep in the water to keep its storm creating powers contained because it has trouble controlling them. It’s not actually originally from the ocean
A well written piece. Kinda brings out the fight in lugia. It shows it's fear in it's power. It tries to defeat you in hopes of not being used for the wrong reasons. At least that's how I see it.
In Pokemon lore, I wonder how many people/Pokemon died fighting legendaries. Lugia's theme does a really good job reminding you just how much danger you're in. There's no quick way out unless you have a Psychic-type with Teleport, so if you're team is getting thrashed by Lugia...
My special team and why they are special. Cyndaquil > Quilava > Typhlosion. Why it's special: He's my first Pokémon. (I take him everywhere I go. He's my best buddy. Been with me since the beginning of my journey in Johto.) Hoothoot > Noctowl. Why it's special: He's the very first Pokémon I caught. Rocky the Onix > Rocky the Steelix. Why it's special: First Pokémon received through trade. Togepi > Togetic > Togekiss. Why it's special: First Pokémon I ever hatched from an egg. Shiny Gyarados. Why it's special: First shiny Pokémon I ever caught. Lugia. Why it's special: First Legendary Pokémon I caught. So... who does your special team consist of? This should include: The starter Pokémon you got from the professor from your very first core series Pokémon game. (Spin off series do not count.) The very first Pokémon you caught. The first Pokémon you got from trade. The first Pokémon you hatched from an egg. The first Shiny Pokémon you ever caught. and finally... the first Legendary Pokémon you caught. I eagerly await the results. I can still hear Lugia's cry. Okay... Time for a little history lesson. Lugia... The Diving Pokémon. You know... I have a lot to thank Lugia for. It's because of him is what made me get my first core series Pokémon games. SoulSilver and HeartGold. I was just a kid when I first watched Pokémon the Movie 2000 and it was really good. So when I first saw SoulSilver and HeartGold on the selves, I was reminded how awesome Lugia was in the movie. So when I was able to, I got SoulSilver and HeartGold. I obviously played SoulSilver first because of Lugia. And I just kept on playing, doing my best to beat each gym leader in Johto. When I got all 8 Johto Gym badges and beat to the Kimono Girls, a Pokémon went over to the Whirl Islands. When I got to where the Kimono Girls were, I saw the events take place. The dance and then... Lugia appears. I was quite shocked. I was like, "I really get to capture him?! Awesome!" I immediately threw the Master Ball when the battle started to capture this Pokémon and add it to my team. I captured Lugia from the movie! Like the one on the box. I immediately had him stick with me to beat the elite four as well as face the Kanto Gym leaders and Red. To this day... Lugia remains my favorite legendary, has a special place in my heart, and my second favorite Pokémon, as Typhlosion, my first Pokémon, is at the top spot.
Piplup, Starly, Chatot, Riolu, a shiny Machop, although I haven't gotten a Legendary yet in Diamond. Hoping to get a 3DS so I can transfer them up to HOME :)
+TheAstoundingGamer there is 8.9 ithing gigabyte of data on a 3ds cart, pokemon omega ruby took up 6.3 gigs there was space. the songs of the game only take up 1.8 gigs
that trye, maybe it's becuase they didnt think they need new themes, and that people would be upset oif they changed it, without explainetion, like the change of the groudon kyogretheme when you fight themm in the story
I tend to think the theme's were meant to go along with the unveiling of the Pokemon Multiverse, to show that Hoopa's rings were pulling them directly from the universe that was the original games took place in.
rrivera992011 I think lugia's fits him more, but in terms of music and pokemon. I say ho-oh is the best. But then again, you'd think it was peaceful, but its intense as hell. but its good if you ask me
While I may hate using defensive Pokemon, I prefer Lugia over Ho-oh, in design, in theme, in battle music, in name... every way. That being said, I don't hate Ho-oh at all.
Ho Oh’s theme: Hello young trainer. It is incredible that you have made it this far. I will give you the chance to capture me so that I may assist you on your journey. Lucia’s theme: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My very first legendary. Too bad I sold my SoulSilver to f**king GameStop, and my Lugia along with it, plus a Tyranitar I raised from a Larvitar for the sole purpose of defeating Lance. My Typhlosion survives on my Platinum thankfully, and don’t worry, I’m not going to sell it to GameStop.
Imagine Lugia and Ho-oh getting a mega evolution alongside the Johto starters and many other Johto Pokemon in Sun and Moon, I mean it does seem like Sun and Moon is the Gold and Silver to X and Y's Red and Blue. I mean for christ sakes Sun's color is almost the same as Gold and Moon's color fits Silver pretty well, and X and Y's colors were freaking Red and Blue's.
+TheOfficialKnux1 that probably wont happen since lugia isnt incredibly ancient, and primal reversion is when a pokemon reverts back to its younger, stronger self
This theme brings flashbacks to the five hours I wasted trying to catch this Pokémon and I gave my ds to a child at a party and he got it first try with a normal pokeball
Ho-Oh: trainer! I must see if you are worthy of my friendship!
Lugia: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP.
^This can never be unheard
That's hilarious
It's more like "Those who tread upon my domain shall await judgement."
*ok hands*
I regret coming here. This will never leave my mind now
Ho-oh's theme: Nice Japanese music
Lugia's theme: *DIE*
Lmaoooooooo you killed me with this, underrated comment

I prefer ho oh tbh it's quite special
Lugia's theme kinda reminds me of Kaiju music so its equally Japanese in my mind
I mean, it's the truth

That's exactly the reason I love lugia. It gets my love for being rude.
Lugia: im going to complain on the internet.

He has every reason in the world to be rude/angry lol
Lugia's theme is really chaotic, whilst Ho-Oh's theme has a really majestic feel to it.
Ho-Oh: Hello!
Lugia: *WHAT ARE YEH DOIN IN MY SWAMP*
THAT IS WHAT MAKE THEM DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER
Stardust Legacy Fighter Yet Lugia's theme is so much better. Change my mind.
I won’t beacause I think the same thing
Well Ho-Oh is based on a Phoenix while Lugia is guardian of the sea so it kind of makes sense
Too much water. Though, that water was not enough to make Lugia Water-Type.
Lugia was supposed to be a water psychic type with levitate but one can only dream
Lol right! Game freak needs to explain why Lugia isn’t water type but Palkia is.
@@raylewisfan6112 Because like how they're time ,space and antimatter, dialga is solid, palkia is liquid and giratina is gas I think.

Naaaawwwwh son, He looks like he's about devour da ho that entered his cave.
Nah free hugs.
HUG ME BROTHA
Yvelta too.
Nyan 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌
I think this theme is really underrated. Not all music has to flow smoothly and expectantly throughout the song. This theme really shows the unpredictability and danger, yet underlying stability reminiscent of the deep sea. Also since it's a Johto main game legend pokemon, it has various Johto-standard theme elements mixed in.
This is the type of song that a victory road or region champion would get, and that's suprisingly fitting for one of the more mysterious and powerful of the legendary pokemon.
***** I didn't get to hear much of Lugia's theme in AS. I just threw a Dive Ball at him and he stayed in!
I agree.
Little Nightfuy17 the Strike Titan opposite case for me, HE JUST WOULDNT GET IN THE ULTRA BALL(wouldnt even shake)!thankfully after resetting i managed to catch him in 1 ball, a poke ball specificly..

I like how this music is perfect for what's actually happening in Silver.
it has the bubbly effects because you're standing in front of a waterfall below sea-level on an island in the middle of nowhere
you can hear the tension build up as you expect something approaching
The beginning is really intense, cuz a 40-foot tall bird just came out of nowhere and is screaming in your face
the middle calms down cuz you start to realize that it's not malicious, but just kind of grumpy and "leave me alone"
and then it snaps back to faster paced music when you remember that you're in the middle of a fight
Ho-Oh: Human, catch me and i'll be your ally. Come on, show me your power!

This feels like the JRPG song in Pokemon. While other Legendaries have themes that show that they're majestic creatures, Lugia's very WINGFLAPS cause storms.

And yet somehow, it's not a Water type.
Reminder: Lugia is a Psychic type because Morimoto Shigeki said Lugia was meant to be strong and Psychic at the time was the strongest type.
on gen 2 psychic got nerfed....
Ok but they should have changed it by now that’s not a good excuse
They could have ditched the flying type completely and went with psychic/water. Lugia looks far less like a flying type imo
@@tommibear4013
Indeed. They learnt that not all pokemon with wings must be flying type in Gen 9, with Fezandipiti.

>tfw I'll never hear this because I have Omega Ruby
Why live.
Ho-oh's music is better :P
+Robin, The Tactical Genius no it's really not, you can hear this in soulsilver or just look it up
They should have had Echo Emerald or something.
+Max Levine Am i the only one who likes Lugias more?
Nope.
Why in the hell was I humming this tune? And it took me so long to figure out where I remember it from 🤣
I love how the beginning makes these little water/bubbles sounds like Lugia is diving down first, concentrating his power or smth
Lugia looks like:
"PROBLEM ??!"
Ho-oh: I must see if you are worthy of having my friendship
Lugia: YOU'RE SCREWED, BRAT, GET OUTTA MY FACE
Ho-OH: I will test your skills in a battle, to see if you are worthy of my friendship.
Lugia: It's always gotta be these scrawny trainers.
Lugia is my favourite water type!
Oh wait...
A Vary Blue Ghost
Palkia is my favourite psychic type Legendary!
Oh wait...
Charizard is my favorite dragon type!
Oh wait....
Just kidding, It's Eternatus
Why? The suffering of others is the most amusing thing there is!
Arceus Fucked Up Their Types
@@UnovaKing48 everyone makes mistakes. Even gods
A very aggressive theme for arguably the most heroic Pokémon ever.
Helped Ash save the entire damn world
Zygarde too.
It's funny cause Masuda played a few notes for Ichinose to help give him ideas for Lugia's theme and what he got out of that was "slam piano keys very hard"
Ho-oh : I am not as rude as my brother from the sea
Lugia: *angry ape noises*
This theme is criminally underrated
The kind of themes i love and no one does 😭
Ho oh it's just more attractive as a battle theme
@@luisfillipebeserra2108 ho-ohs being better doesn't mean lugias theme is bad?? They didn't mention ho-oh anywhere in this post
It really sucks that the only reason this dude isn't a Water/Dragon was because Gamefreak were being a bunch of weirdos and going against the designer's intentions.
Like Lugia is literally a dragon, that guards the ocean, living underwater. But nah, it has wings so flying, and psychic bc "the type denotes strength".
Omg, SS was my first game.
The nostalgia tears are real.
:'D
Lugia’s design > Ho-Oh’s design
Lugia’s theme < Ho-oh’s theme
Glad that’s sorted
Sammy for me it's the opposite but I respect your opinion
Ho-oh's typing sense > Lugia's typing sense
@@Attaxalotl It is only the gaurdian of the ocean, not the oceans sea monster. Just because it swims doesn't mean it should be a water type. That's like saying Snorlax or Ryhdon should be a water type because they can learn surf to swim. It moved to the sea so it didn't threaten people, people it's gust were stronger enough to destroy cities and towns in a single blow.
Sammy Sorry but Lugia > Ho-Oh in both. Ho-Oh is amazing but Lugia is in a different league compared to Ho-Oh.
@@boxiannn Actually Ho-Oh and Lugia can be evenly matched. Ho-Oh is the Powerful Bulky one, and Lugia is the Speedy Bulky one. Ho-Oh exceeds Lugia in all forms of attacking, and they both have the same special defense and max HP. Lugia is only better in Defense and Speed. It's Max Attack and Special Attack is the same at only 306, but Ho-Oh's Max Special Defense is 447. Ho-Oh's Attack is 394 and Special Attack is 350. They have the same Base Total, but Ho-Oh is better. There's not to many strong physical water moves that can beat it, but moves like Aqua Tail.
The Pokemon evolution episode was so great it just make me love more lugia
I love the contrast between the themes of Lugia and Ho-Oh.
Ho-Oh's theme sounds like a divine creature descended from the heavens to grant the people who summoned it an honorable challenge to see if the summoners are worthy of its companionship. A song befitting a noble guardian of the sky, powerful but pure of heart.
Lugia's theme, on the other hand, sounds like the people who summoned it have unleashed a monster; a destructive force of nature that wants revenge on those that disturbed its slumber. A song befitting an awakened beast, pissed off and ready to destroy all before it.
Ho-oh theme: A majestic ritual battle of elegance and grace. Only the most devoted and skilled will emerge victorious.
Lugia theme: *Y O U W I L L D R O W N*
Do you know why this theme song is chaotic? Because Lugia is upset that he is not water typing
Ho-oh's theme: Hey buddy, catch. It's called friendship cuz you're a pretty worthy kid
Lugia's theme: Thank you for coming, *because you about to catch these hands. Put your paws up homie, run em up*
I enjoyed both remastered Ho-Oh and Lugia pieces in HGSS. It was especially creative to give Lugia more Western influence in his theme whilst giving Ho-Oh more Eastern influence in his theme. I think that's the motif they had with these two since Gold and Silver, but HGSS gave them more of an opportunity to emphasize that.
The pokemon of harmony and peace has one of the most dissonant and chaotic themes
It creates storms by just flapping its wings. That’s why it’s theme is so chaotic.
When you forget to save your game
I've had the tune from 0:50 to 1:00 stuck in my head for a year, not knowing where it's from, but then today I stumbled upon this song and realized how cool it was all over again.
Lugia: *Lives in the water and knows many Water-Type moves.*
Also Lugia: *NOT a Water-Type.*
The only water moves Lugia learns by level up are Hydro Pump and Rain Dance.
Iirc the lore explanation is that it just lives deep in the water to keep its storm creating powers contained because it has trouble controlling them. It’s not actually originally from the ocean
A well written piece. Kinda brings out the fight in lugia. It shows it's fear in it's power. It tries to defeat you in hopes of not being used for the wrong reasons. At least that's how I see it.
In Pokemon lore, I wonder how many people/Pokemon died fighting legendaries. Lugia's theme does a really good job reminding you just how much danger you're in. There's no quick way out unless you have a Psychic-type with Teleport, so if you're team is getting thrashed by Lugia...
My special team and why they are special.
Cyndaquil > Quilava > Typhlosion. Why it's special: He's my first Pokémon. (I take him everywhere I go. He's my best buddy. Been with me since the beginning of my journey in Johto.)
Hoothoot > Noctowl. Why it's special: He's the very first Pokémon I caught.
Rocky the Onix > Rocky the Steelix. Why it's special: First Pokémon received through trade.
Togepi > Togetic > Togekiss. Why it's special: First Pokémon I ever hatched from an egg.
Shiny Gyarados. Why it's special: First shiny Pokémon I ever caught.
Lugia. Why it's special: First Legendary Pokémon I caught.
So... who does your special team consist of? This should include:
The starter Pokémon you got from the professor from your very first core series Pokémon game. (Spin off series do not count.)
The very first Pokémon you caught.
The first Pokémon you got from trade.
The first Pokémon you hatched from an egg.
The first Shiny Pokémon you ever caught.
and finally... the first Legendary Pokémon you caught.
I eagerly await the results.
I can still hear Lugia's cry. Okay... Time for a little history lesson. Lugia... The Diving Pokémon. You know... I have a lot to thank Lugia for. It's because of him is what made me get my first core series Pokémon games. SoulSilver and HeartGold. I was just a kid when I first watched Pokémon the Movie 2000 and it was really good. So when I first saw SoulSilver and HeartGold on the selves, I was reminded how awesome Lugia was in the movie. So when I was able to, I got SoulSilver and HeartGold. I obviously played SoulSilver first because of Lugia. And I just kept on playing, doing my best to beat each gym leader in Johto. When I got all 8 Johto Gym badges and beat to the Kimono Girls, a Pokémon went over to the Whirl Islands. When I got to where the Kimono Girls were, I saw the events take place. The dance and then... Lugia appears. I was quite shocked. I was like, "I really get to capture him?! Awesome!" I immediately threw the Master Ball when the battle started to capture this Pokémon and add it to my team. I captured Lugia from the movie! Like the one on the box. I immediately had him stick with me to beat the elite four as well as face the Kanto Gym leaders and Red. To this day... Lugia remains my favorite legendary, has a special place in my heart, and my second favorite Pokémon, as Typhlosion, my first Pokémon, is at the top spot.
Piplup, Starly, Chatot, Riolu, a shiny Machop, although I haven't gotten a Legendary yet in Diamond. Hoping to get a 3DS so I can transfer them up to HOME :)

The pokemon Evolutions episode was so good it brought me back here
I think it's a shame they didn't make new versions of these themes, because the older ones have the limitations of the DS's sound
+TheAstoundingGamer there is 8.9 ithing gigabyte of data on a 3ds cart, pokemon omega ruby took up 6.3 gigs there was space. the songs of the game only take up 1.8 gigs
that trye, maybe it's becuase they didnt think they need new themes, and that people would be upset oif they changed it, without explainetion, like the change of the groudon kyogretheme when you fight themm in the story
I tend to think the theme's were meant to go along with the unveiling of the Pokemon Multiverse, to show that Hoopa's rings were pulling them directly from the universe that was the original games took place in.
they obviously gonna do remix for the 4 gen remake, they just won't do remix of a 2 or 4 gen in a 3 gen, they don't gonna spoil everything.
+RikithelegendaryHeropon was that even English?
1:31 yall are sleeping on the best part
Is it me or am I the only one who Likes lugia over Ho-oh and his theme
i like lugia more aswell
same
rrivera992011 I think lugia's fits him more, but in terms of music and pokemon. I say ho-oh is the best. But then again, you'd think it was peaceful, but its intense as hell. but its good if you ask me
pretty sure most people like Lugia more, yet Ho-oh's theme more. Personally, I prefer Ho-oh in both categories
Lugia is better in both yet everybody says ho-oh is better in both
While I may hate using defensive Pokemon, I prefer Lugia over Ho-oh, in design, in theme, in battle music, in name... every way.
That being said, I don't hate Ho-oh at all.
Goddamn, is it that hard to spam Iron items on Ho-Oh?
@@Convoy143 ho oh sucks in everyway
@@Andrew-ch3xj How? It hits very damn hard and has Regenerator as his hidden ability
Ho Oh’s theme: Hello young trainer. It is incredible that you have made it this far. I will give you the chance to capture me so that I may assist you on your journey.
Lucia’s theme:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This is just ;-; nostalgia ;-; ty Game Freak and Pokeli.
Nostalgia? Heart gold and soul silver are only a couple years old..
You know.... Cuz they're remade songs of gen 2?
Like the ones that came out in '99
The Only Legendary Duo alongside Zacian Zamazenta
My very first legendary. Too bad I sold my SoulSilver to f**king GameStop, and my Lugia along with it, plus a Tyranitar I raised from a Larvitar for the sole purpose of defeating Lance. My Typhlosion survives on my Platinum thankfully, and don’t worry, I’m not going to sell it to GameStop.
Majestic.
Ho-oh: Hey there trainer, I see you've made it far
Lugia: get the out
Ho Oh: welcome… trainer, May we start our battle?
Lugia: WHAT U DOIN IN MY CAVE
Lugia's theme feels like a gen 5 theme imo
I think Lugia wants a hug.
"Its time to finish the ri-"
Lugia: " *_WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY CAVE-_*
Ho-oh's theme: Welcome trainer, good job making it here, now let us battle!
Lugia: YOU FUCKED U0 NOW, BIG BOY!
I can't help but get reminded of Bowsers inside story's soundfont?
I always thought Lugia lived in the air as a little kid in Silver till I found out it lived in the very depths of the sea.
Imagine Lugia and Ho-oh getting a mega evolution alongside the Johto starters and many other Johto Pokemon in Sun and Moon, I mean it does seem like Sun and Moon is the Gold and Silver to X and Y's Red and Blue. I mean for christ sakes Sun's color is almost the same as Gold and Moon's color fits Silver pretty well, and X and Y's colors were freaking Red and Blue's.
Primal Lugia, yo :0
+TheOfficialKnux1 that probably wont happen since lugia isnt incredibly ancient, and primal reversion is when a pokemon reverts back to its younger, stronger self
Also sun and moon are heavily related to alchemy. Gold and Silver just happen to be the alchemical symbols for the sun and moon.
*MIND BLOWN*
damn nigga. seeing my typhlosion as a mega evolution. that'd be great.
+Ryadh SAME!!
