  • Here's a VRC6+N163 chiptune arrangement of Ho-Oh's battle theme from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver!
    This is probably my favorite track from any pokemon game, and I've been wanting to cover it for a while! I've just been putting it off because I anticipated it to be difficult to arrange lol. I've also been looking for a good track to use this cool N163 slap bass made by VinylCheese. Check out their stuff here:

    This was very ambitious bc of how complex and perc-heavy this song is. And it turned out good, especially in the intro and calm bridge. I'm guessing the balancing was tough for this one since there are so many unique parts. It's definitely the most accurate chiptune remix I've heard of this theme.

    Ho-Oh I personally feel is one of the best Legendary Pokémon.
    It was teased on the First episode of the anime. Its lore was established in Gold/Silver/Crystal as the one who revived the Legendary Beasts and _this_ music!

    This sends me back to when I was trying to catch Ho-Oh in SoulSilver and it just did not want to be caught. I tried for so long and on one occasion it fainted from struggle recoil because the battle just dragged on that long. On the plus side I got to hear a lot of its rad theme and I did eventually catch it.

      I like them both alot but i prefer lugia cause water and stuff. But Ho-oh´s theme is waaaaaaaaay better like damn. I sat there for 5 minutes before even attacking it the first time cause it was so good
