One of the reasons i adore Groudon and Kyogre so much is that instead of being some creation of man's desires or some god, Groudon and Kyogre feel like nature itself felt wrath. They're not benevolent gods, they're monstrous titans who only seek to slaughter their opponent. They aren't pokemon. They're MONSTERS.
@@edmundthearchwizard 50% Zygard: Tell me about it. (*Sips tea with Zygard cells crawling around him*) Granted Xerneus is a literal tree and Yveltal is practically an egg, but still.
I like how Groudon’s angry personality clashes with the typically calm Maxie, and Kyogre’s liquid-smooth vocals contrast Archie’s aggressive hot-headedness
I like how each legends voice is portrayed. Groudon is loud and harsh like a blazing sun, intimidating but bright and evident. While kyogre has a much more calm yet mortifying voice, almost like a nightmare where you are trapped underwater, the voice being everywhere around you.
"Crash and burn against the waves!" I love the duality of this line. Kygores's saying it as "There is nothing you can do to stop me; you will fall." while Groudon's has it more as "I will continue to rage against you as long as I live." I know I was late to the party but you guys nailed it with this one. Probably one of the best covers you've ever done!
I adore the sort of "evil queen" vibes Kyogre gives off in this. It would have been easy to just give Kyogre a soothing voice and depict them as the good guy, but you did a good job making them both sinister conquerors, and Kyogre still has a smooth voice to contrast the harsh voice of Groudon without detracting from their imposing presence.
I have been looking through the comments for the past 5 hours trying to see if anyone noticed the almost regal undertone from kyogre. Good to know I wasn’t the only one.
@@leebulger7112 a lot of Pokémon can survive in their respective domains. That being said, the fact that their war causes people and Pokémon to be killed no matter which one wins is kind of the point.
Img the voice of groudon us insane giving me chills and the calm and flowing voice of kyogee fits and instantly clashes against the rough course vocals of groudon and this makes a beautiful song water vs land
It's incredible that they were able to get two vividly different, not only lyrics, but _styles_ from the same battle theme, _and_ have them both be amazing
I love how Groudon is singing in bursts like a chant, "build them up! break them down!", while Kyogre sings smoothly, "while there's land, so crash the waves"
Groudon: "Build them up! Break them down! No one puts the fire out!" Kyogre: "While there's land, so crash the waves! No one stands in my domain!" Rayquaza: "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?!"
The Hoenn trio are my favorite because compared to the rest, they feel so, *viceral.* Most other legendaries tend to be vague or abstract concepts. Time and space, truth and ideals, ect. But the weather trio represent the unpredictable, untameable nature of the very planet we live on, something every human has undeniably experienced first hand. The Beginning and the End. Water and Fire. *Alpha and Omega...*
Also, they're the strongest. Even pre-gen 6 About another thing: actually, funny how water is alpha in remakes of gen 3, even tho it's alien thing to the planet and literally got here on asteroid
I think that Groudon and Kyogre are the only Legendary pair that have a mutual/absolute hate for the other and I think that this song really gets that across.
Giving it a thought, you’re not wrong. Ho-oh and Lugia are counterparts in idea, seas and skies, but in practice there’s no ‘rivalry’ between the two. Dialga and Palkia have clashed, but it’s always been because of some kind of outside factor that causes the conflict like Arceus’ awakening in the movies. Reshiram and Zekrom are the closest to that rivalry, due to their opposing philosophies. But even they can put their differences aside to help one another should the need arise, and they were once a single being. Xerneus and Yveltal had one time in the anime that they’ve been in the same room but otherwise have nothing else. Solgaleo and Lunala are the ‘male’ and ‘female’ of the same species. And Zacian and Zamezenta are basically siblings who’s entire lore is about them working together. Fact is, there’s no other legendary duo that hold animosity towards one another on a scale even close to Groudon and Kyogres, no questions asked when it comes to those two, it’s on sight.
@@tropicalbytsanity7845 There was a fakemon series on youtube i watched not long ago. It's two legendaries were based off of prey and predator, Subjectively was the name of that channel. and its pretty good content.
You can really feel the power and presence of these two, locked in eternal war for control of the planet they see as theirs and uncaring for any caught in their crossfire. A true battle between the gods of Desolate Land and Primordial Sea. Until Rayquaza shows up with La Chancla, that is.
It's a bit weird to see Ludicolo appear, seemingly out of nowhere, near the end there. Ludicolo: "Hey guys, can I sing with you, too?" Kyogre: "GET OUT."
Atop Sky Pillar, where I stay The land and sea start, another fray Chaos must be, brought under sway! Bring forth the Gale With each trek I take A Dragon's Ascent born from wind's calming haze The world shall be saved now Rayquaza's awake! Calm the quakes, and still the waves I'll teach these beasts, how to behave!
Can I contribute something? Add in how neither land nor sea is superior and should be balanced due to the natural order and that there are living beings who depend on both land and sea for survival, only punishing those who abuse them for selfishness and greed?
Really like how Groudons lyrics and voice are chaotic, like how earthquakes can be. Yet kyogres lyrics and voice are kinda calm, like the ocean sometimes
I wouldn’t say that groudon’s parts were chaotic, they seem more so to be harsh and jagged as if he was moving on pure wrath. The idea of “land being unbreakable and unwavering” was in the forefront of my mind while listening to this as rock is known for being durable and volcanoes are often mistaken for wrathful gods in many mythologies. As for kyogre, those parts didn’t really sound calm, but more so they sounded like they were perfectly harmonized and exuding a sense of arrogance. Getting the idea of “your strength will inevitably Falter ” across with a slight sense of horror behind it and that really fits the ocean as it slowly rips apart the land creating canyons and the terrifying things that hide in its deepest depths.
dude i don't know if you've seen the ocean but it's a god damn *menace.* waves will beat the shit out you, take your clothes, leave you cold and salty, and make you look like a food as it pulls you into the water to drown.
holy SHIT when i say i got chills from this i MEAN IT. the INSTANT groudon started singing i instantly got goosebumps and shivers. alex is of course a natural fit for an ancient wrathful primordial land diety, no shock on that casting, and the way he’s able to deliver that POWER behind the voice while still having it be singing and work with the music, and the added vocal effects feel like auditory flames. and THEN emmy with kyogre comes and it’s just the same level of WOW. this was a casting choice that, when i read the description before watching felt so out of nowhere and a complete curveball, giving kyogre a more feminine voice wouldnt have been what i imagined, but HOOOOLY shit as soon as kyogre started singing i UNDERSTOOD. there’s still a ton of power being the voice but it contrasts SO well with the searing fire begun groudon’s voice, providing that primally smooth but dangerous ocean sound. it’s such an unexpected casting choice but provides SO much levity to the harshness of groudon and then putting them TOGETHER? god, i had chills through this entire thing, the lyrics OOZING that primordial rage and raw, undistilled POWER, the very land and sea speaking, a personification of the utterly immovable forces of nature, with absolutely STUNNING vocals to go with it. but when you put the harsh and the cool TOGETHER? like i said, i had goosebumps for the entire song but my breath was taken away from me during this section, i cannot overstate the genuine physical effect the vocals had on me, and this was absolutely the intended effect and it SUCCEEDED. absolutely ASTOUNDING at capturing two literal gods fighting for control i’ve enjoyed these pokemon musical bytes so far, yes, but this one absolutely blew everything else so far out of the park. it’s been SO long since a song has given me genuine chills, i’m blown away by the work here. keep it up, i CANNOT wait to see what comes next
I couldn't put it better myself! You've got all of that bang on the money and I agree with everything. Although I might need to listen to it more than once for it to grow on me, as Mewtwo and HoOh had me hooked instantly, this song is still amazing and vs. Giratina has a lot to live up to!
“20 Hours ago” “16 Minutes ago” Mmm yes, logic. Jokes aside I LOVE this definitely my favorite of the bytes so far. It fits their lore and goals so much! Groudon is sheer rage, conquering the land. He wants the world to rise into the sky. Kyogre is calm, collected, confident. Only wants to expand and make all of earth her home, for the world to expand.
This song does a great job of showing these Pokemon's might as individual while also bringing them together to display their hatred for each other. Simply amazing.
@@alakazamlover4908 I do not know if it would have been better, as he is the end of the argument. What would he add to this song? He would arguably need his own whole song as he is the apex legendary of the region. And his involvement would literally do nothing but hinder Kyogre and Groudon's performance: There is so much power in the voices on display here - that to have Rayquaza come in at the end and go "Yeah, but I am top bitch in this kingdom. So shut up!" would just insult the previous two performances.
@@nightdrivenen7909 well it could've been a land vs. sea vs. sky debate Basically "while you dwell upon the ground, I rise up to the heavens" "while you swim beneath the sea, I swim above your feet" i dont think it would've hindered them at all, i just think its a shame the whole weather trio wasn't here....hope next week gen 4 has the whole trio of gen 4 (Diagalga, Palkia, and Giritina) im not saying the song is bad btw, its AMAZING, just for me personally, I would've loved to see what they could've DONE with Raquaza there, because your line is....not accurate
@@alakazamlover4908 but that isn't what the trio are, Groundon wants to expand the land and kyogre wants to expand the sea. Ratquaza is there to maintain balance (there is a reason he is the leader of this Trio) Ratquaza doesn't want to expand the sky, he wants life to thrive. which couldn't happen if Kyogre or Groudon "Won"
I… don’t believe I’ve ever heard Emily sing that low before? Seemed like such a curve ball casting choice until she started singing. Absolute chills. And Alex being simply magnificent, as always.
I mean, yeah, on one hand Groudon sounds like Gigatron from that 2001 English dub of Transformers anime "Car Robots", while Kyogre sounds like Assajj Ventress from the clone wars.
The sheer power of groudon and kyorge can be heard through the voices. Groudon’s anger and kyorge’s desire for expansion is so clear that I can’t help but be in pure awe. Groundon and kyorge have been my 2nd favorite legendary duo and I am so happy this has been done justice.
One thing that I relate it to is ares and Athena,with ares(groundon)being a lot more about pure power anger and force,while kyorgeres(Athena) lyrics and voice make it seem like they’ve planned an attack for a long time and have this planned out,overall,amazing song.
@@penguinoverlord9994 Yeah, I don't think you can associate Kyogre with Athena, since he is just as agressive and savage as Groudon. Those two aren't gods like some other legendary ; they are primordial titans, the incarnation of the the immense power of their respective elements and the destruction that come when nature is unleashed in all of her fury.
@@The_Burned0ne I know but Rayquaza is different from them, he is not trying to take all pf the world for himself and is the one who has to stop these two from destroying everything when he is not busy fighting an alien virus (his job is really hard now that I think about it). While he is just as powerful as them, he is also a lot more reasonable and that make him different from those two walking/swiming biblical apocalypse.
@@bosskaiju4834 Actually, the Titan analogy works well if you further extrapolate that Rayquaza is a Giant. In Greek Mythology, while the gods were recognized as powerful [so much so that you couldn't look at their true forms without burning up], the Titans were even stronger. Their true form was so powerful, you couldn't even BE NEAR THEM without disintegrating. However, the Titans were only so imposing, as any individual could conquer and kill them if they were powerful or lucky enough... The Giants, on the other hand, EXPLICITLY required the cooperation of both gods and demigods to defeat [Except for the _one_ Giant who was just plain old mortal.], and it wasn't easy because each Giant was crafted SPECIFICALLY to counter each Greek god and goddess. Rayquaza could be seen as the Giant to topple Arceus, the Zeus of the Legendaries, while Groudon could be seen as a sleeping Gaia, and Kyogre is Ouranos.
All the other legendary duos work together, are incomplete without the other and represent two sides of a coin or two integral elements of the world that don't work without the other, meanwhile Groudon and Kyogre are an ancient blood feud hellbent on destroying each other... and this theme catches it PERFECTLY. Also, I now REALLY want to hear Deoxys with lyrics.
The weirdest thing about this series so far is that it's making me realise I have been subconsciously voicing all these pokémon in my head for years now, so whenever I hear someone else's take I'm immediately taken aback by the differences. However, once I'm over that initial hump, it is stunning to see the love these games have inspired, and the talent that has been put into these videos. My first pokémon game was Platinum though, so I'm very anxious/excited to see what you do next in this series. :D
I love how they are almost unable to fight in each other's weather (except for groudon being ground type). That means that it's a battle to see who can impose their own weather and win. Accurate lore-wise
Hoenn legendaries. They're not Gods, but they sure carved the most memorable and historic moments in all of Pokemon history, for casual fans and competitive players.
Don't forget those who only care for lore. The lore of these two primordial powers being meant to oppose each other is just an amazing concept and I love how this works!
While listening to this song, I realized that Rayquaza's Ability, which clears the battlefield of weather effects, most likely was used by Rayquaza when facing Groudon and Kyogre, cancelling out both of their buffs that their weathers give them, and giving Rayquaza the advantage, even against the Primal forms of the two
Scariest thing about these two is there is no true "victor" of this fight for anyone else. The world will end regardless of the winner, either deriving the world of water and having it become a desolate land, or submerging all civilizations underwater. I suppose Kyogre is slightly less catastrophic since oceanic life can persist, but either way it's a lose/lose for pretty much everyone else.
Groudon and Kyocera have a rap battle for 3 minutes. In all seriousness, this is fantastic. Both voices are extremely fitting, Groudon’s agressive and full of fury, really reminds me of Alex’s Ridley voice. And Kyogre has a calming, yet haunting voice, perfect contrast to Groudon. The song just ramps up in chaoticness, perfectly capturing the feeling of impending doom. You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one, instant classic
I like how Groudon is a lot more aggressive while Kroger is a lot calmer, with Groudon speaking about twice as fast as Kyogre when they have their duet segments
Absolutely incredible cover. Hearing the contrast between Kyorge and Groudon left chills down my spine. While Kyorge's singing is softer compared to Groudon's anger there's still that warning Kyorge is issuing to Groudon by threatening to drown the land. Emily and Alex nailed it with their performances as Kyorge and Groudon respectively. Incredible job to everyone at the Man on the Internet!
(If you are listening with headphones) when you get to the part where Groudon and Kyorge both sing “Crash and Burn against the waves! For this world is my domain!” you can hear that each voice is dominant on one side but the other isn’t as loud on the other. I really like this. Groudon’s and Kyorge’s was “legendary” enough that it warranted huge constant clashing between the two. I feel that mostly in that part of the song. Way to go MOTI for another amazing song!!
Hearing their solo parts they sound like an aggressive volcanic conquer and a calm sea queen. But together they sound like children fighting, would not be surprised if Rayquaza sounds like a father getting his kids to stop arguing
I love this song so much. The chanting and rich voice of Groupon versus the cool yet menacing tone of Kyorge works so well here. The lack of my favorite boy Rayquaza is criminal though. I swear the Giant Flying Snake Union is going to be filing a complaint about representation any day soon. (In all seriousness, I’d love to see your take on Rayquaza’s voice someday. I know you’d kill it!)
I liked the lyric you did in the along. It perfectly represents how Groupon and Kyogre truly seen themselves as. They believe it’s their purpose to expand the land or sea and will take out the opposite no matter the cost. Their conflict is legendary and what helps set up future legendary conflicts or relationship with duo or trios for every generation. This one has got to be one of my favorite Legendary Pokémon songs on this channel. Good job to the team and the two signers.
This was a phenomenal cover. Hearing the duet between the avatars of land and sea with their radically different voices/tones helped to push this song even further. Excellent work MOTI.
gotta be honest, going into this and seeing alex as groudon, i was worried the casting was too powerful; how could anyone match the fury of groudon if the big man himself was the one belting out primordial screams? well, i got my answer; the resounding echoes of kyogre's voice sound almost hypnotic in how chilling they are! it conveys a sense of just barely breaking the surface of a power so vast that none truly know the depths to which it might reach. a perfect foil for the broiling, boiling, bubbling rage of groudon's more focused verbal assault.
@@Flowery0 Eu também achei bem ruim, mas a pior parte na minha opnião foi a que os dois cantam o início da parte de cada um ao mesmo tempo, são partes completamente diferentes e que não achei que ficou legal
Groudon's voice is just so fire, so fast and rough, and Kyogre's is slow and flowing, so they both fit these Pokémon perfectly. I think I prefer Groudon's voice to Kyogre's, but they are both awesome.
I love how Groudon sounds so aggressive and imposing and Kyogre so mysterious and foreboding, it really tells you how Kyogre really isn't that concerned, with Groudon having severe type disadvantages.
Literally better than any rap battle I've ever heard between these two. Groudon sounds absolutely harsh and crazy while Kyogre holds an air of mystical chaos. In all honesty, Kyogre sounds like a whale in some parts of the song, especially with the echoing effects of the voices.
Some of us like having a lyric comment, and I shall provide. *Bold* = Groudon _Italics_ = Kyogre Normal = Both *The creator of the land!* *Made the ground on which you stand!* *Stand beneath the blazing sun!* *In this world that I have won!* *Stand against the crashing waves!* *For this world is my domain!* *Carve out the land* *With each step I take* *Precipice blades* *Formed from heat's shimmering haze* *The world shall expand now that Groudon's awake!* *Build them up!

I just adore how, even though they seem like opposites, their lyrics and even the way they sync with each other reflects on how while their goals seem different, the results would be practically identical. Both think they're superior and in the right, when they're both actually capable of murdering everything.
I expect Groudon’s voice to be low and booming but this is loud and intense like a raging fire. Kyogre on the other hand is much more calmer like water but still has power behind it. Honestly Kyorge’s lines gave me chills.
I love the visual, and the song depicting how different Groudon and Kyogre are, Groudon being chaotic and Kyogre being serene, this song is a masterpiece.
This is definitely the best Legendary Byte of them all. The way the entire song, not just through the lyrics but also through tempo and pitch, manages to perfectly encapsulate Groudon's and Kyogre's personalities and their detest for one another is absolutely incredible.
It’s a shame that we didn’t get a Lugia theme cover. Still, this is an incredible video, worthy of duelling gods! Rayquaza: Wait, did you say ‘duelling gods?’ *sighs* Not this nonsense again!
Groudon: "Build them up! Break them down! No one puts the fire out!" Kyogre: "While there's land, so crash the waves. No one stands in my domain." Arceus: "YOU. STEP. TO. ME."
Absolutely magnificent, the voices were both great fits and the contrasting yet similar lyrics do a good job summing up the entire conflict between the two, the only way this possibly could have been better was a final verse of Mega Rayquaza ending their struggle.
I have both Omega and Alpha. Each time I meet these two in their turf, it gives me chills. If I couldn't put up in that moment, the world would die. I HAD to catch them.
Which makes sense as canonically people are the smalls of Groudons domain. So a person being unable to handle the leader of the other opposing domain makes sense. Kinda like 2 mafias going after each other, a grunt has no power against an angry don.
Groudon would be pretty scary to deal with as well. If the earthquakes and lava didn’t kill you, you’d be slowly baked to death in a heat wave that would make the Permian-Triassic mass extinction look like picnic weather!
@@Blvssfvl look im not gonna discuss the gender of a whale so I was going with the gender I'd give to the character, not the gender of the voice actress.
I love Groudon's line of "The world shall expand now that Groudon's awake!" and Kyogre's line of "In the water, hear my cry. Take the land back; oceans rise."
And then Daddy Rayquaza comes dowm from above and puts the kids to sleep This was amazingly done, their voices gave me chills!! As someone who started with Gen 3 Ruby specifically Groudon was my favorite until found Rayquaza but the trio are still my favorites by far!
The parts when Groudon and Kyogre sing together sound so GODLY! Also If legendary bites arrives at gen 8, i can't wait how the Galarian Legendary birds will sound like.
It would be cool to see Zacian and Zamazenta vs Eternatus. Two siblings, complementary opposites, defending the world from a gigantic alien dragon worm more powerful than Arceus itself.
Gen 3 was my starting point of the series for me and is still one of my favourite generations period. And this music video was one I was excited for and this music vid is damn great as well. The primal might of the Land and Groudon, and the primal strength of the Oceans and Kyogre is shown off pretty damn good and I love it. Well done! Edit: Special mention to the line ‘crash and burn against the waves for this world is my domain’. I do love that line and the parallels between the two.
When I first listened to this, immediately almost a decade old wave of noatalgia hit me. I remember seeing, fighting, understanding the 3 gods of Hoenn and once again you have put these moments into words, capturing them well. This song means a lot to younger me. I ust wish there was alightly less FX modification on the voices, the singers sound great but it's drowned out by the alterations.
Скажу честно, вокал подобран идеально для обоих сторон: резкий и грубый Гроудон против плавного и давящего Кайогр - это определенно то, что ожидаешь увидеть и услышать! Совершенно неожиданным была бы партия Райкваза в конце, что примирил бы две стороны, но это уже предел мечтаний. Спасибо за видео!
@@user-MARX-__-96xin Groudon is wrathful to the point of murderous rage. Kyogre is prideful to the point of arrogance Best guess would be rayquaza would be authoritative as it is in-between and above both wrath and pride.
I appreciate that neither is projected as the good guy, because that's exactly what they aren't. Neither Groudon nor Kyogre are "good guys", they're just power-hungry beasts. That's why Rayquaza stepped in in the first place.
Noticeably, they both say "The world shall expand now that I'm awake" Whether on purpose or not, it sorta represents how they both see their side as how the world should be. (In contrast to the land/ocean shall expand)
Absolutely love this song and it's performance. Gen 3 holds a super special place in my heart with sapphire being my first game and my Blaziken from that game still being with my today in Home. Alex did such an amazing job capturing the pure rage and hate these two opposing forces of nature have for each other. Groudons pure screaming hatred and Kyogres calm methodical hate striking when necessary. Absolutely brilliant. And to add to that, both Alex and Emmy did such perfect jobs encapsulating those emotions. Alex taking his Daruk and making it just harsher for that rocky undertone worked brilliantly here, and Emmy knocked it out of the park with that smooth creamy voice that went so deep and gave absolutely chills. Brilliant job all, love to see this package come to life with such fury!
"Crash and burn against the waves!" I see this line is having two meanings; Kyogre's means the land with crash and crumble to the sea. Groudon's means the land will stand tall against the crashing sea.
You have truth and ideals You have life and destruction You have space and time You have a sword and shield You have the sun and moon And here is just a dinosaur and a fish hating each other for eternity. These two have just want the other to die so badly, it's genuinely terrifying.
Then you have the third member of the trios. You have choice you have balance You have distortion You have the enemy You have the stars And then you have the angry sky snake acting like a parent grounding their misbehaving children who are in the middle of a sibling rivalry
This was magnificent! I loved the music, the lyrics, the way Kyogre and Groundon were blended together...this was art, pure and simple, and i am delighted to have found it.
In my opinion, this is some of the best work you have done for your channel with help, MOTI! Keep up the good work! You really lifted my mood with this banger of a song!
Two Primordial Gods that are responsible for the creation of the Land and Sea respectively clashing in an epic battle, it would change the very planet itself, and these lyrics pay respect to that idea in every way.
This song is straight up inspiring me to make tributes to these two in a D&D setting. Elemental gods, Earth and Fire, vs Water and Air. I JUST CAN'T STOP LISTENING!
My favorite line in this song has to be "The earth/sea shows no mercy to those who'd invade!" It really brings out their mutual hostility toward each other.
the song was amazing and made just about perfect sense with groudon and kyogre practically showing that they aren't blindlessly brawling but it a war of land vs sea which gets to rule the world? but the main thing that drew me in was that art its so GORGEOUS!
This is *incredible!* Both Kyogre and Groudon feel furious, but while Groudon feels like a harsh, screaming anger, Kyogre feels more like an ice-cold anger.
This was amazing and I did not expect it. Groudon of course was perfect but KYOGRE was so HAUNTING....and also completely, utterly terrifying. People in the comments are describing how it sounds calm like the ocean can be but I hear an undertone of TERROR, like...it's like the first dark clouds before a hurricane, which starts out slow but very, very quickly become dangerous. If you've ever seen a storm coming up along the coast you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. There's a very good reason why many many people are scared of the Ocean, the deeper you go.... Gen 3 is my fav. I absolutely loved this.
Rayquaza: The Lord of the Sky shall Descend, Hoenn's suffering shall meet its end! Ride the wind across the sky, Hear my roar within the storm's eye! Fly above the Mountains and Waves, To end this war and peace will be maintained! Draw out the Sky, With each Flight I take! Dragon Ascent, Born of wind's blinding haze! The World shall Survive, Now that Rayquaza's Awake! Calm the Seas, and Sooth the Land, Order shall be brought to this Domain!
One of the reasons i adore Groudon and Kyogre so much is that instead of being some creation of man's desires or some god, Groudon and Kyogre feel like nature itself felt wrath. They're not benevolent gods, they're monstrous titans who only seek to slaughter their opponent. They aren't pokemon. They're MONSTERS.
They’re pokemon without the poke
Exactly why primalutions fit them, and not mega evolution, because they aren't really pokemon, they're titans of primordial ocean and land.
I mean Pokémon originally was short for “pocket monsters” so remove the pocket part, and that’s kyogre and groudon

I love the duality of this line. Kygores's saying it as "There is nothing you can do to stop me; you will fall." while Groudon's has it more as "I will continue to rage against you as long as I live."
I know I was late to the party but you guys nailed it with this one. Probably one of the best covers you've ever done!
and its the only time in the song groudon and kyogre actually sing together perfectly
I just like to imagine that while Groudons spitting lyrical fire at Kyogre he’s still standing on that small speck of land like he did in Emerald.
I like to imagine that as he's stepping closer to Kyogre the water evaporates making more land for him to get close
@@drakofox1362 Now that is just awesome to imagine.
Cannonically, groudon is fine. It'll just evaporate the shit out of water and just stand there, as Kyogre is getting sucked in. Menacingly
Kyogre has a deeper water for it and groudon has land above water so the base water that surrounded the land could be an equal gain and loss for both
Even still, deep under the water there is land.
I adore the sort of "evil queen" vibes Kyogre gives off in this. It would have been easy to just give Kyogre a soothing voice and depict them as the good guy, but you did a good job making them both sinister conquerors, and Kyogre still has a smooth voice to contrast the harsh voice of Groudon without detracting from their imposing presence.
I have been looking through the comments for the past 5 hours trying to see if anyone noticed the almost regal undertone from kyogre.
Good to know I wasn’t the only one.
Neither of them seems to care about the consequences if either of them wins, your either roasted by sun/volcanoes or drown in an endless flood.

That being said, the fact that their war causes people and Pokémon to be killed no matter which one wins is kind of the point.
Img the voice of groudon us insane giving me chills and the calm and flowing voice of kyogee fits and instantly clashes against the rough course vocals of groudon and this makes a beautiful song water vs land
I can tell, he’s using the Ridley voice for Groudon, Alex has the insanity voice down
It's so imposing and terrifying
It's incredible that they were able to get two vividly different, not only lyrics, but _styles_ from the same battle theme, _and_ have them both be amazing
Indeed
I do agree the greatest song between Is ocean and land Control by 2 powerful legendary pokemons
I love how Groudon is singing in bursts like a chant, "build them up! break them down!", while Kyogre sings smoothly, "while there's land, so crash the waves"
Groudon: "Build them up! Break them down! No one puts the fire out!"
Kyogre: "While there's land, so crash the waves! No one stands in my domain!"

The Hoenn trio are my favorite because compared to the rest, they feel so, *viceral.* Most other legendaries tend to be vague or abstract concepts. Time and space, truth and ideals, ect.

I love them specialy rayguaza
They definitely are out for the other's BLOOD when both awake
@@dumboboy4479 to say that would most likely a gross understatement
I think that Groudon and Kyogre are the only Legendary pair that have a mutual/absolute hate for the other and I think that this song really gets that across.
Giving it a thought, you’re not wrong.
Ho-oh and Lugia are counterparts in idea, seas and skies, but in practice there’s no ‘rivalry’ between the two.
Dialga and Palkia have clashed, but it’s always been because of some kind of outside factor that causes the conflict like Arceus’ awakening in the movies.
Reshiram and Zekrom are the closest to that rivalry, due to their opposing philosophies. But even they can put their differences aside to help one another should the need arise, and they were once a single being.
Xerneus and Yveltal had one time in the anime that they’ve been in the same room but otherwise have nothing else.
Solgaleo and Lunala are the ‘male’ and ‘female’ of the same species.
And Zacian and Zamezenta are basically siblings who’s entire lore is about them working together.
Fact is, there’s no other legendary duo that hold animosity towards one another on a scale even close to Groudon and Kyogres, no questions asked when it comes to those two, it’s on sight.
They should make another rivalry/hatred legendaries, not just copy of paste of Kyogre and Groudon but something similar
@@tropicalbytsanity7845 There was a fakemon series on youtube i watched not long ago. It's two legendaries were based off of prey and predator, Subjectively was the name of that channel. and its pretty good content.

You can really feel the power and presence of these two, locked in eternal war for control of the planet they see as theirs and uncaring for any caught in their crossfire. A true battle between the gods of Desolate Land and Primordial Sea.

@@Mariomaster157 Probably Darby.
Can I contribute something?
Add in how neither land nor sea is superior and should be balanced due to the natural order and that there are living beings who depend on both land and sea for survival, only punishing those who abuse them for selfishness and greed?
Really like how Groudons lyrics and voice are chaotic, like how earthquakes can be.
Yet kyogres lyrics and voice are kinda calm, like the ocean sometimes
Keyword Sometimes
I wouldn’t say that groudon’s parts were chaotic, they seem more so to be harsh and jagged as if he was moving on pure wrath. The idea of “land being unbreakable and unwavering” was in the forefront of my mind while listening to this as rock is known for being durable and volcanoes are often mistaken for wrathful gods in many mythologies.
As for kyogre, those parts didn’t really sound calm, but more so they sounded like they were perfectly harmonized and exuding a sense of arrogance. Getting the idea of “your strength will inevitably Falter ” across with a slight sense of horror behind it and that really fits the ocean as it slowly rips apart the land creating canyons and the terrifying things that hide in its deepest depths.
dude i don't know if you've seen the ocean but it's a god damn *menace.*

The singer is female though
holy SHIT when i say i got chills from this i MEAN IT. the INSTANT groudon started singing i instantly got goosebumps and shivers. alex is of course a natural fit for an ancient wrathful primordial land diety, no shock on that casting, and the way he’s able to deliver that POWER behind the voice while still having it be singing and work with the music, and the added vocal effects feel like auditory flames.
and THEN emmy with kyogre comes and it’s just the same level of WOW. this was a casting choice that, when i read the description before watching felt so out of nowhere and a complete curveball, giving kyogre a more feminine voice wouldnt have been what i imagined, but HOOOOLY shit as soon as kyogre started singing i UNDERSTOOD. there’s still a ton of power being the voice but it contrasts SO well with the searing fire begun groudon’s voice, providing that primally smooth but dangerous ocean sound. it’s such an unexpected casting choice but provides SO much levity to the harshness of groudon
and then putting them TOGETHER? god, i had chills through this entire thing, the lyrics OOZING that primordial rage and raw, undistilled POWER, the very land and sea speaking, a personification of the utterly immovable forces of nature, with absolutely STUNNING vocals to go with it. but when you put the harsh and the cool TOGETHER? like i said, i had goosebumps for the entire song but my breath was taken away from me during this section, i cannot overstate the genuine physical effect the vocals had on me, and this was absolutely the intended effect and it SUCCEEDED. absolutely ASTOUNDING at capturing two literal gods fighting for control
i’ve enjoyed these pokemon musical bytes so far, yes, but this one absolutely blew everything else so far out of the park. it’s been SO long since a song has given me genuine chills, i’m blown away by the work here. keep it up, i CANNOT wait to see what comes next
I couldn't put it better myself! You've got all of that bang on the money and I agree with everything. Although I might need to listen to it more than once for it to grow on me, as Mewtwo and HoOh had me hooked instantly, this song is still amazing and vs. Giratina has a lot to live up to!
“20 Hours ago”
“16 Minutes ago” Mmm yes, logic.
Jokes aside I LOVE this definitely my favorite of the bytes so far. It fits their lore and goals so much! Groudon is sheer rage, conquering the land. He wants the world to rise into the sky. Kyogre is calm, collected, confident. Only wants to expand and make all of earth her home, for the world to expand.

The sheer power of groudon and kyorge can be heard through the voices. Groudon’s anger and kyorge’s desire for expansion is so clear that I can’t help but be in pure awe. Groundon and kyorge have been my 2nd favorite legendary duo and I am so happy this has been done justice.
One thing that I relate it to is ares and Athena,with ares(groundon)being a lot more about pure power anger and force,while kyorgeres(Athena) lyrics and voice make it seem like they’ve planned an attack for a long time and have this planned out,overall,amazing song.
@@penguinoverlord9994 Yeah, I don't think you can associate Kyogre with Athena, since he is just as agressive and savage as Groudon. Those two aren't gods like some other legendary ; they are primordial titans, the incarnation of the the immense power of their respective elements and the destruction that come when nature is unleashed in all of her fury.
But it’s a trio
@@The_Burned0ne I know but Rayquaza is different from them, he is not trying to take all pf the world for himself and is the one who has to stop these two from destroying everything when he is not busy fighting an alien virus (his job is really hard now that I think about it).
While he is just as powerful as them, he is also a lot more reasonable and that make him different from those two walking/swiming biblical apocalypse.
@@bosskaiju4834 Actually, the Titan analogy works well if you further extrapolate that Rayquaza is a Giant. In Greek Mythology, while the gods were recognized as powerful [so much so that you couldn't look at their true forms without burning up], the Titans were even stronger. Their true form was so powerful, you couldn't even BE NEAR THEM without disintegrating.
However, the Titans were only so imposing, as any individual could conquer and kill them if they were powerful or lucky enough... The Giants, on the other hand, EXPLICITLY required the cooperation of both gods and demigods to defeat [Except for the _one_ Giant who was just plain old mortal.], and it wasn't easy because each Giant was crafted SPECIFICALLY to counter each Greek god and goddess.
Rayquaza could be seen as the Giant to topple Arceus, the Zeus of the Legendaries, while Groudon could be seen as a sleeping Gaia, and Kyogre is Ouranos.
All the other legendary duos work together, are incomplete without the other and represent two sides of a coin or two integral elements of the world that don't work without the other, meanwhile Groudon and Kyogre are an ancient blood feud hellbent on destroying each other... and this theme catches it PERFECTLY.
Also, I now REALLY want to hear Deoxys with lyrics.
I do to, though unfortunately, We're not going to, at least as part of this bytes package.
The weirdest thing about this series so far is that it's making me realise I have been subconsciously voicing all these pokémon in my head for years now, so whenever I hear someone else's take I'm immediately taken aback by the differences. However, once I'm over that initial hump, it is stunning to see the love these games have inspired, and the talent that has been put into these videos.
My first pokémon game was Platinum though, so I'm very anxious/excited to see what you do next in this series. :D

You'd think Groudon would sound like Bowser. I love this rendition much better. Sounds like a dictator you would follow if I'm honest.

@@ren_suzugamori1427 exactly
While listening to this song, I realized that Rayquaza's Ability, which clears the battlefield of weather effects, most likely was used by Rayquaza when facing Groudon and Kyogre, cancelling out both of their buffs that their weathers give them, and giving Rayquaza the advantage, even against the Primal forms of the two
He learns both Surf and Thunder, so it's fair to assume that this would give him an advantage over the two.
I like how Groudon is more aggressive and direct, while Kyogre is silent and mysterious, like the deep sea.
The contrast between Kyogre and Groudon is IMPECCABLE.
The balance between Groudon's fiery chaos and Kyogre's frigid calm is simply beautiful. Captures the conflict between these two titans perfectly!
Scariest thing about these two is there is no true "victor" of this fight for anyone else. The world will end regardless of the winner, either deriving the world of water and having it become a desolate land, or submerging all civilizations underwater. I suppose Kyogre is slightly less catastrophic since oceanic life can persist, but either way it's a lose/lose for pretty much everyone else.
I think Pokémon Generations implied that not even Water-Type Pokémon would be able to survive Kyogre’s rampage.

@@unitds27-delta That was my bad. It's been amended.
My favorite part of this is how they covered different parts of the song.
(If you are listening with headphones) when you get to the part where Groudon and Kyorge both sing “Crash and Burn against the waves! For this world is my domain!” you can hear that each voice is dominant on one side but the other isn’t as loud on the other. I really like this. Groudon’s and Kyorge’s was “legendary” enough that it warranted huge constant clashing between the two. I feel that mostly in that part of the song. Way to go MOTI for another amazing song!!
Hearing their solo parts they sound like an aggressive volcanic conquer and a calm sea queen. But together they sound like children fighting, would not be surprised if Rayquaza sounds like a father getting his kids to stop arguing
Now we need daddy Rayquaza to come in and give the two of them a good bonk on the head and force them to get into the "getting along together" shirt.
Rayquaza just kicks open the door like maxmoefoe and is like: "AY, STOP!"

I liked the lyric you did in the along. It perfectly represents how Groupon and Kyogre truly seen themselves as. They believe it’s their purpose to expand the land or sea and will take out the opposite no matter the cost. Their conflict is legendary and what helps set up future legendary conflicts or relationship with duo or trios for every generation. This one has got to be one of my favorite Legendary Pokémon songs on this channel. Good job to the team and the two signers.
Groupon
This was a phenomenal cover. Hearing the duet between the avatars of land and sea with their radically different voices/tones helped to push this song even further. Excellent work MOTI.
gotta be honest, going into this and seeing alex as groudon, i was worried the casting was too powerful; how could anyone match the fury of groudon if the big man himself was the one belting out primordial screams? well, i got my answer; the resounding echoes of kyogre's voice sound almost hypnotic in how chilling they are! it conveys a sense of just barely breaking the surface of a power so vast that none truly know the depths to which it might reach. a perfect foil for the broiling, boiling, bubbling rage of groudon's more focused verbal assault.
I love how groudon sings off the bass and kyogre sings off the strings. Give more to that rivalry.

Literally better than any rap battle I've ever heard between these two. Groudon sounds absolutely harsh and crazy while Kyogre holds an air of mystical chaos.

Mega rayquaza: do I get a turn now??
I just adore how, even though they seem like opposites, their lyrics and even the way they sync with each other reflects on how while their goals seem different, the results would be practically identical.
Both think they're superior and in the right, when they're both actually capable of murdering everything.
I expect Groudon’s voice to be low and booming but this is loud and intense like a raging fire. Kyogre on the other hand is much more calmer like water but still has power behind it. Honestly Kyorge’s lines gave me chills.
I love the visual, and the song depicting how different Groudon and Kyogre are, Groudon being chaotic and Kyogre being serene, this song is a masterpiece.
It also shows how similar they are, being arrogant, confrontational, and incredibly dangerous. They also share a lot of their lyrics.
This is definitely the best Legendary Byte of them all. The way the entire song, not just through the lyrics but also through tempo and pitch, manages to perfectly encapsulate Groudon's and Kyogre's personalities and their detest for one another is absolutely incredible.

I have both Omega and Alpha. Each time I meet these two in their turf, it gives me chills. If I couldn't put up in that moment, the world would die. I HAD to catch them.
Kyogre honestly sounds like he'd be much more scarier to deal with, specially with the "gasping for air" line.
Which makes sense as canonically people are the smalls of Groudons domain. So a person being unable to handle the leader of the other opposing domain makes sense.
Kinda like 2 mafias going after each other, a grunt has no power against an angry don.
Groudon would be pretty scary to deal with as well. If the earthquakes and lava didn’t kill you, you’d be slowly baked to death in a heat wave that would make the Permian-Triassic mass extinction look like picnic weather!

@@Blvssfvl kyogre has no gender canonically so...
@@Blvssfvl look im not gonna discuss the gender of a whale so
I was going with the gender I'd give to the character, not the gender of the voice actress.
I love the voice for Kyogre, I never imagined a calm voice like that for Kyogre, but now it reminds me how much I love this legendary. Go Team Kyogre.
So you’re with Team Aqua in other words?
Groundon...kinda stops on the game...well with the primals form
@@knightofarkronia9968 I suppose ^^'
I love Groudon's line of "The world shall expand now that Groudon's awake!" and Kyogre's line of "In the water, hear my cry. Take the land back; oceans rise."
And then Daddy Rayquaza comes dowm from above and puts the kids to sleep
This was amazingly done, their voices gave me chills!! As someone who started with Gen 3 Ruby specifically Groudon was my favorite until found Rayquaza but the trio are still my favorites by far!
“In the accident days, the ground was shaking and primal forces raged….”
Indeed with amazing vocals no wonder the planet was doomed.
Alex here was like "Happy Easter. Now heres a song about Armageddon"
Or godzilla
The parts when Groudon and Kyogre sing together sound so GODLY! Also If legendary bites arrives at gen 8, i can't wait how the Galarian Legendary birds will sound like.
It would be cool to see Zacian and Zamazenta vs Eternatus. Two siblings, complementary opposites, defending the world from a gigantic alien dragon worm more powerful than Arceus itself.
@@brendanhall5581 it would be cool af
Im just still waiting here for a song for deoxys personally
@@brendanhall5581 everyone waits to get their first lyrics on the channel everyone hopes that they can go next
Gen 3 was my starting point of the series for me and is still one of my favourite generations period. And this music video was one I was excited for and this music vid is damn great as well. The primal might of the Land and Groudon, and the primal strength of the Oceans and Kyogre is shown off pretty damn good and I love it. Well done!
Edit: Special mention to the line ‘crash and burn against the waves for this world is my domain’. I do love that line and the parallels between the two.
When I first listened to this, immediately almost a decade old wave of noatalgia hit me. I remember seeing, fighting, understanding the 3 gods of Hoenn and once again you have put these moments into words, capturing them well. This song means a lot to younger me. I ust wish there was alightly less FX modification on the voices, the singers sound great but it's drowned out by the alterations.
Скажу честно, вокал подобран идеально для обоих сторон: резкий и грубый Гроудон против плавного и давящего Кайогр - это определенно то, что ожидаешь увидеть и услышать! Совершенно неожиданным была бы партия Райкваза в конце, что примирил бы две стороны, но это уже предел мечтаний. Спасибо за видео!
интересно, а как бы тогда Райкваза звучал бы в противовес Гроудону и Кайогру?
@@user-MARX-__-96xin резкость и величественность. Как шторм.
@@user-MARX-__-96xin
Groudon is wrathful to the point of murderous rage.
Kyogre is prideful to the point of arrogance
Best guess would be rayquaza would be authoritative as it is in-between and above both wrath and pride.
@@АлександрСергеев-б9б6в скорее всего, так бы и было)
@@drakeyork241 totally agree with you
I appreciate that neither is projected as the good guy, because that's exactly what they aren't. Neither Groudon nor Kyogre are "good guys", they're just power-hungry beasts. That's why Rayquaza stepped in in the first place.
Finally joining membership of the channel. only $0.99 a month right now but I love these videos!
Noticeably, they both say "The world shall expand now that I'm awake"
Whether on purpose or not, it sorta represents how they both see their side as how the world should be.
(In contrast to the land/ocean shall expand)
This song is perfect. It feels like two titans going at each other.
This was as epic and terrifying as the titanic primordial forces they represent. Also drives home the fact there WAS no winner between the two.
Absolutely love this song and it's performance. Gen 3 holds a super special place in my heart with sapphire being my first game and my Blaziken from that game still being with my today in Home.
Alex did such an amazing job capturing the pure rage and hate these two opposing forces of nature have for each other. Groudons pure screaming hatred and Kyogres calm methodical hate striking when necessary. Absolutely brilliant.
And to add to that, both Alex and Emmy did such perfect jobs encapsulating those emotions. Alex taking his Daruk and making it just harsher for that rocky undertone worked brilliantly here, and Emmy knocked it out of the park with that smooth creamy voice that went so deep and gave absolutely chills.
Brilliant job all, love to see this package come to life with such fury!
"Crash and burn against the waves!"
I see this line is having two meanings;
Kyogre's means the land with crash and crumble to the sea.
Groudon's means the land will stand tall against the crashing sea.
You have truth and ideals
You have life and destruction
You have space and time
You have a sword and shield
You have the sun and moon
And here is just a dinosaur and a fish hating each other for eternity. These two have just want the other to die so badly, it's genuinely terrifying.
Then you have the third member of the trios.
You have choice
you have balance
You have distortion
You have the enemy
You have the stars
And then you have the angry sky snake acting like a parent grounding their misbehaving children who are in the middle of a sibling rivalry
the pizzasaurus rex and the blue shelled murder oreo
Groudon is just a guy with extreme anger issues. Kyogre, on the other hand, sounds noticeably scarier, like a bloodthirsty psycho.
This was magnificent! I loved the music, the lyrics, the way Kyogre and Groundon were blended together...this was art, pure and simple, and i am delighted to have found it.
In my opinion, this is some of the best work you have done for your channel with help, MOTI! Keep up the good work! You really lifted my mood with this banger of a song!
Two Primordial Gods that are responsible for the creation of the Land and Sea respectively clashing in an epic battle, it would change the very planet itself, and these lyrics pay respect to that idea in every way.
God I cannot wait for the 1 hour version of this. I've only heard it a few times but just keep coming back for more!
Well this is a nice Easter gift for us isn't it?
Anyway, Happy easter Alex Beckham and to the rest of the MOTI crew! 🐣 🐇

The fact that the explosions were perfectly timed
One of the best rivalry in the world I like how their voices matched their element Can't Wait to hear Rayquazza Start singing About space rocks
This song is straight up inspiring me to make tributes to these two in a D&D setting. Elemental gods, Earth and Fire, vs Water and Air. I JUST CAN'T STOP LISTENING!
Meanwhile, Rayquaza up the the clouds:
"DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!"
Groudon: "...."
Kyogre: "...."
Groudon: "... Wanna just call it a draw?"
Kyogre: "Yeah, let's just... say it's a draw."
I did not expect an epic rap battle of Fire lizard VS Glowing Whale today. This sounds so good!
I believe you mean pizza-saurus rex
My favorite line in this song has to be "The earth/sea shows no mercy to those who'd invade!" It really brings out their mutual hostility toward each other.
the song was amazing and made just about perfect sense with groudon and kyogre practically showing that they aren't blindlessly brawling but it a war of land vs sea which gets to rule the world? but the main thing that drew me in was that art its so GORGEOUS!
This is *incredible!* Both Kyogre and Groudon feel furious, but while Groudon feels like a harsh, screaming anger, Kyogre feels more like an ice-cold anger.
Shockingly fitting voices and styles for the two. I didn't know what to expect, but what I got was wonderful.
This is officially one of the songs that I desperately want to see extended to one hour!
I never expected the battle between Groudon and Kyogre to be even more epic than ever.
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Amazing Work Alex and Emily!!! You both did great
"Made the *ground on* which you stand!"- should have seen the pun coming.
This was amazing and I did not expect it. Groudon of course was perfect but KYOGRE was so HAUNTING....and also completely, utterly terrifying. People in the comments are describing how it sounds calm like the ocean can be but I hear an undertone of TERROR, like...it's like the first dark clouds before a hurricane, which starts out slow but very, very quickly become dangerous. If you've ever seen a storm coming up along the coast you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
There's a very good reason why many many people are scared of the Ocean, the deeper you go....
Gen 3 is my fav. I absolutely loved this.
"While there's land, so crash the waves. No one stands in my domain!" I felt that.
Rayquaza:
The Lord of the Sky shall Descend,
Hoenn's suffering shall meet its end!
Ride the wind across the sky,
Hear my roar within the storm's eye!
Fly above the Mountains and Waves,
To end this war and peace will be maintained!
Draw out the Sky,
With each Flight I take!
Dragon Ascent,
Born of wind's blinding haze!
The World shall Survive,
Now that Rayquaza's Awake!
Calm the Seas, and Sooth the Land,
Order shall be brought to this Domain!
Perfect
HOLY ARCEUS THAT IS AMAZING
Underrated comment right here guys
Order comes at my command?
The last line is a bit iffy to me so how about this instead?
"Order's brought by my hand"
