I hate to be that guy, Well, not that much, because I wouldn't be doing it if I did, but Technically, Defy the Legends is a remix of Rayquaza's theme that appears in the Explorers games, and the description specified Rayquaza's theme.
Why is it that Chunsoft has to make everything I know a lie? First Grovyle is actually alive, then Defy the Legends is the original of the song it actually is, then replaying BRT takes 20 tries for the right questions to come up to actually be able to get Eevee from lying.
Actually, canon Darkrai is not that evil as he is portrayed in PMD or by many fans. It is a pokemon who prefers solitude and locks people into nightmares to protect itself of their presence.
PLEEEEEEEEASE RO TEMPORAL SPIRE OR HIDDEN LAND!!!!! They are the best songs in the soundtrack at conveying panic while still remaining slow and mystical, they are beautiful!
Darkrai was just born like that - giving nightmares to everyone close enouth. He DOES NOT want to, and because of that lives on island alone, without a chance for others to ever meet him.
@@iceace4277It was implied that they have no control over their powers and it acts on its own like an automatic defense mechanism. And a very radical one at that. Not only that but Cresselia, who is the only known Pokemon to act as it's counter, can't find all of Darkrai's victims on time, unfortunately.
I listened to the whole thing just because someone said the "defying the legends" part was well done and I regret nothing. That was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
Hey... that was... so AWESOME. Darkrai, my favourite pokemon, and you made such the best remake of his battle theme. So dark... so beautiful... so emotional... so fantastic. Great work.
... ... ... *quiet sobbing* I'm sorry, it's just too dang beautiful and perfect... I feel so happy that I had the privilege to listen to such a wonderful Remix... You've given me renewed hope! Thank you!
I heard some more themes from that game thrown in the mix and I normally don't like that, but you actually do it right and so well, along with a great remix already. That's a 10.
Dear lord, if this isn't an amazing medley. Heck, not only was the monster house part incredible, I wasn't even angry when it appeared (unlike in the games) and the transition to it was awesome. This one is going straight to my music playlist
wow this really sounds like a Zelda boss theme now one of those ones that's like final or semi final were you have to also refight all of the other bosses as phases of the boss fights, like zant exactly like the battle theme from twighlit princess or at least part of it
Didn't think it got too interesting until the transition to the other pieces. Really awesome!! I like the sense of momentum that the parts other than the melody give, especially the percussion bass.
First play through, going through the darkrai fight was a major pain. Cress was a common issue along with me being stupid and thinking "I wont need too many reviver seeds, right?" Second time around the tables had turned. Cress was a major player after a quick seed spamming up double team and making it so my dumb, but lovable, eevee partner (curse you runaway ability) was able to actually fight without being immediately terrified from one hit. Of course Darkrai was also spamming double team... spent roughly 5 minutes of us 3 trying to hit darkrai at the end and nothing happening but "Miss!" "Miss!" But in the end one last attack from eevee managed to land and victory at last!
Fact: Dark types are used to be called Evil types and to why they're weak to Fighting is because usually, heroes in TV beats up evil guys with their flashy punches. I'm not sure about bug types though, I think it's because evil guys are scared of bugs?
Now this is what the original should have sounded like. The ominous & chilling atmosphere, excellent instrument choices & intensity.... The theme of the mastermind who not only is the culprit behind the events of the Mystery Dungeon Explorers games, but possibly the ENTIRE SERIES! (That is if the mainseries games & Mystery Dungeon games follow the same timeline.) All those villains, calamities & death... AZ's and other heroes' efforts might have been all in vain. All those moments of victory might be lost to the darkness. The manipulative son of a taint who has always been there, plotting against everything you hold dear, haunting you in your dreams. Now THAT is creepy.
So this piece made me come up with a somewhat interesting Pokemon fanfic idea: It begins in a world without Pokemon, perhaps one much like our own, that Arceus finds. He sees that it is all but dead, and only the presence of his children the Pokemon can save it. He chooses two people, the protagonist and the person who ultimately becomes the final antagonist, to help him decide what it should be like. Cresselia and Darkrai, among others, become the guides for these two people - Cresselia for the protagonist, and Darkrai for the antagonist. This music would play in the final confrontation between the protagonist, who is led by Cresselia into wishing for a world much like the Pokemon world that we know of; and the final antagonist, who was is led by Darkrai into wishing for a world where there would be endless nightmares for the Nightmare Pokemon to feed on.
I'm eternally salty we were cheated out of two themes for dusknoir and Darkrai because they decided to reuse it but at least it's a sick theme. Maybe in the remakes we know are likely we'll finally get a second theme.
You've made a mix of the most memorable themes in this game (in my opinion). So good! I dont want to bother you with that but If I give you credits, can I use that tune? Please?
I think adding "It's a Monster House!" in was an odd decision, I mean it sounds like something you hear when the six o'clock news comes on. Other than that, great remix! EDIT: I want an extended mix. No reason.
I think adding "It's a Monster House!" was a GENIUS decision. In the Darkrai battle in the game, he DOES have several powerful underlings attacking your party as well, and anyone who's played the Mystery Dungeon games knows the TERROR associated with Monster Houses and their theme. In fact, it sounds the most menacing it's ever sounded in this remix.
Ok good theme but I think I spoiled EoS for myself, I was planning to get it once I’m done with EoD😫 oh well, anyways great job doing this with Dusknoir’s theme
This is so much better than the actual final battle theme we got. For the final confrontation of the game with the very architect of all our hardship from the beginning, I would have expected something at least reminiscent of _Dialga's Fight to the Finish,_ rather than the rather bland _Ghost Battle._ _Ghost Battle_ isn't even all that good for the battle against Dusknoir. A simple amped up version of his main theme woud have been better...
Hey dude. Hope things are going well for you. I know you're busy with stuff, but with it being two years since your last, I have to ask; will there be another remix on this channel?
Hey! I've actually spent the last two years getting an Masters in film/game music, so a lot of my time has been geared towards non-arrangments. As I graduate in about 3 weeks, I will want to upload to this channel again since I'll have the time to do these side projects once more and will have a lot better library of samples to work with. I will probably branch out a bit more on the game series I choose to arrange. So yeah, been working on a lot of other music that I just have not uploaded here (because I doubt there would be much interest in non-game stuff), so fear not, my musical chops are still very much being used
Oh that's so cool! I knew you were in college for making game music but I didn't know you were so close to graduating! Congratulations! And thanks for the reply.
In order: Battle Against Dusknoir, Palkia's Onslaught, Monster House!, Defy the Legends, and Dialga's Fight to the Finish (blended with Through the Sea of Time for the second phrase).
My ears have died... They must have... This is ear heaven...
2:16 - 3:09 palkia’s onslaught
4:00 - 4:42 Rayquaza theme
4:59 - 5:23 primal dialga theme
3:34 - 3:56 Monster House
Well this is fucking terrifying
I mean, it's Darkrai.
KyoZero darkrai isn't the one who products fear, he IS fear.
I always considered this theme extremely anticlimactic, but yours was a perfect!
Wow this is such a good theme for Darkrai/Dusknoir. I really like it!
this should be called the mystery dungeon battle medley
i love that defy the legends bit omg
Me too!
I hate to be that guy,
Well, not that much, because I wouldn't be doing it if I did, but
Technically, Defy the Legends is a remix of Rayquaza's theme that appears in the Explorers games, and the description specified Rayquaza's theme.
According to Super, the original theme is known as "Defy the Legends" now too
Why is it that Chunsoft has to make everything I know a lie? First Grovyle is actually alive, then Defy the Legends is the original of the song it actually is, then replaying BRT takes 20 tries for the right questions to come up to actually be able to get Eevee from lying.
I always go for skitty.
Can we just agree that Darkri is way to underrated? because Dark types are firkin awesome!
Vincieon Thegameingsensation
I say Darkrai is a little overrated.
And more than a little psycho.
Actually, canon Darkrai is not that evil as he is portrayed in PMD or by many fans. It is a pokemon who prefers solitude and locks people into nightmares to protect itself of their presence.
@@doomdesire6668 didn't pmd darkrai go insane?
Your right about that
@@KyoMeh not u
PLEEEEEEEEASE RO TEMPORAL SPIRE OR HIDDEN LAND!!!!! They are the best songs in the soundtrack at conveying panic while still remaining slow and mystical, they are beautiful!
Darkrai would be hell monster if he was real. Can imagine what nightmares people will get.
Except aside from mystery dungeon he’s not evil. He just causes nightmares but he’s not malicious it’s just his biology like mimikyu
Darkrai was just born like that - giving nightmares to everyone close enouth.
He DOES NOT want to, and because of that lives on island alone, without a chance for others to ever meet him.
@@Jdvalentine13 He kills quite a few people anyway, and there's no indication that he doesn't do it for sadistic pleasure.
@@iceace4277It was implied that they have no control over their powers and it acts on its own like an automatic defense mechanism. And a very radical one at that.

STOP BEING UNDERRATED. Seriously, you deserve way more credit than you get! Your work is fantastic!
SWARM THEM!
I just freaking love how u have Primal Dialga's theme at the end! 😭 The feels! ;'c
love the "don't ever forget" melody near the end of the song
I listened to the whole thing just because someone said the "defying the legends" part was well done and I regret nothing. That was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
Hey... that was... so AWESOME. Darkrai, my favourite pokemon, and you made such the best remake of his battle theme. So dark... so beautiful... so emotional... so fantastic. Great work.
I'm glad to have a special place in your heart.
Dude, this music is awesome; you really deserve a lot more subs.
sub sandwiches.

Yeah, that's exactly what I felt as soon as I started listening to it.
Yeah, or in Fire Emblem Awakening(If you've played it), near the end when you're fighting your way to Grima in the second-to-last story level.
0:00 It's funny, this must be how the characters in the _Pokémon_ world see Darkrai.
WHY IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR REMIXES/ARRANGEMENTS SO AMAZINGLY GOOD? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!
This was magnificent :D
I just found this channel and this piece and it's amazing.
Brings good memories, Dusknoir was my favorite character
Didn't think it got too interesting until the transition to the other pieces. Really awesome!! I like the sense of momentum that the parts other than the melody give, especially the percussion bass.

late reply but i think it's because they see and thrive in the dark
this is CLEAN
*Dies of too many awesome remixes in one day*
Nice remix! very tense!

Awesome work
this is good remix.
help, I am stuck at listening it.
I'm gonna dress up as Darkrai for Halloween.
... Lucky dog.

lol there's some monster house in here too
this is so good holyyyyyyy
Whoa you're back
Well you sum me up pretty well.
I wanna know what would happen if guild master wigglytuff fought darkrai
Well, Wigglytuff is fairy type now... So probably not very well for Darkrai
Do you want to see the brutal murder of darkrai
It ended up more as a medley in my opinion, but it still sounds lovely!
I'm eternally salty we were cheated out of two themes for dusknoir and Darkrai because they decided to reuse it but at least it's a sick theme.
Maybe in the remakes we know are likely we'll finally get a second theme.
You know one thing... this realm belongs to me! Rah! Disappear! I will announce your fate! PERISH!
no u
:)
holy crap
this sounds fucking amazing

tfw you are Riolu so eat a bunch of quick seeds and one violent seed and send darkrai to the shadow realm before he can attack

The most dangerous villain in mystery dungeon

oy you should mix all three final boss themes from the PMD series together
Listening to this after finally recruiting the master of darkness himself
Take me out of the box then. Can't stand Cresselia in here.
@@darkrai3223 No, you will stay in the corner and think about what you've done

If Riki subscribe to Riki, does this break the time-space continuum?
+Riki The Legendary Heropon Riki not know, but not first time Riki break it :v
can someone give me the names of each piece of music he used here? I'd love to listen to them all and then compare them to this.
In order: Battle Against Dusknoir, Palkia's Onslaught, Monster House!, Defy the Legends, and Dialga's Fight to the Finish (blended with Through the Sea of Time for the second phrase).
Did you use a program or what? What VSTs did you use?
Somehow, I can imagine a larger history where Darkrai is Giratina´s agent
What's the theme at around 4:00?
It's very familiar but I can't remember it.
"Defy the legends"
4:23 ;)
Battle against Dusknoir/Darkrai? What about Palkia, iirc Palkia also uses this theme.
Snow Fox Palkia actually has a different theme titled "Palkia's Onslaught", but the second verse of this arrangement contains that melody.
LegendaryHeropon Ah, my mistake. Could swear it sounded the same.
Brotherpon, why you no make musics anymore?
+Riki The Legendary Heropon Soon... I've always been bad at uploading frequently xD
Yay cloneypon, Riki so excited
+LegendaryHeropon I was just gonna ask this lol. Glad you're still alive, at least!
Riki is fake come to steal Riki away!
Oh dear, which Riki come steal which Riki?
