To be a kid again. This music makes me feel so sad that my childhood has disappeared, people have died, jobs come and go, responsibilities emerge. So depressing how I used to hide under the covers playing Crystal late into the night.
We went under the covers after we were told to go the fuck to bed lol. I miss it too bro. I'll never forget the exchange from Blue/Red/Yellow to Gold/Silver/Crystal. Day to Night, setting the days correctly so I could rush from New Bark Town to the Bug Catching Contest to catch my buddies Gastly (Haunter) & Scyther. Crystal is still my favourite out of them all simply because it was so unique. Johto to Kanto was the ultimate nostalgia for me.
I use to play under the covers too ! The thing about playing these games as a kid was that anything was possible, we didn't know about gaming conventions or limitations, as far as we were concerned the next town could hold adventures in sunken caves or tall towers and we could never see the end until we were there, fighting it out. That's what I miss about playing games as a kid.
exactly how it makes me feel, it makes me remember sitting on my granny's stairs with my brother, me playing silver, him playing gold... music is too powerful
KingCorny93 I recall that the Game Boy Advance SP had a light that was green while it was charged and red while dying, and it was compatible with older games. In fact, I still have mine and a copy of Pokémon Gold that plays perfectly with it.
the struggle of relying on street lights when playing your game boy color in the car with this game. feeling scared of the battery life when getting father in the game/beating a hard gym leader. the nostalgia to the max....
I don't know why but the world in this game feels more mysterious and interesting than the newer ones. The newer ones feels so modern and it's like everything is right in front of you. This feels like you're far off in some exclusive place away from everything.
And that's why gen 2 is my favorite, travelling through Johto and Kanto is a great adventure every time, and every cities and towns have their goal, it's not like those empty cities in the newer game where you don't get back at all :(
The 8 and 16 bit era was all about using your imagination. Since many things weren't able to be depicted due to technical limits, many things were left implied which made things seem mysterious. Especially as a kid.
@@Zer0Skateboard Yeah it was like: Oh that NPC looks interesting. Oh I've never seen that thing, what's that? And then you just go and explore the world around you.
That's because of one reason. No Meta. If you wanted a spoiler, you either had to have a friend who played more then you. Or, you had to do a refined search. Which encouraged you to learn your own routes and explore.
I hope kids today are able to experience the same joy and pride that our older generation was able to by growing up with these games. The feeling of satisfaction you get from creating your prized Pokemon team is really like no other. YOU caught these Pokemon, YOU trained them, and YOU brought them all together. No one could take it away from you and it was tremendous for a child to feel so capable and competent. Even though it's just a game, I wouldn't be who I am today without this Pokemon.
my older sister give me this gen as well as my birthday gift at my age 7 and at my generation it’s gen 3 but i will never forgot those joy i have from playing this game. I literally got nostalgic with this beautiful song from my childhood🤧
Gold was my first Pokemon game. This music makes me so nostalgic. I still remember my totodile evolving into croconaw in the route just east of Azalea Town and being so surprised because, well, it was the first Pokemon of mine to ever evolve. I miss seeing everything for the first time.
i remember at the mere age of 9 my gold cartage was starting to not save to well and then i opened it to find a battery in it. i asked my parents if i could get a similar battery from the 99 cent store and that i could use the soldiering iron while being supervised of course. i swapped out the internal battery for slightly bigger one and to my surprise it worked! my game was saving regular again. 15 years and it still works!
I remember at the mere age of 9 my neighbor's car was starting to not run too well and then I opened the hood to find a battery in it. I asked my parents if I could get a similar battery from Auto Zone (get in the zone) and that I could use the oven mitts to play mechanic. I swapped out the battery for a pot of stew I nabbed from old man Wilkinson's windowsill like that dog from Loony Tunes - while being supervised, of course - and to my surprise it worked! My neighbor's car was running as chunky as ever. Fifteen years and it still stews!
This hits me so hard... so many memories... I remember playing Silver under the blanket, at night in my bed, so my mom wouldn't notice I wasn't sleeping, cause next day I had school. And now, as a musician, everytime I play it, I get emotional somehow.
I love how this track feels like relief. You've just trudged your way through a long route, and made it through Union Cave, and there's a lovely break waiting for you on the other end.
Loved how you described this... the same after the Radio Tower takeover, and Ice Path into Blackthorn City and a small house on your way to the pokemon league to heal your pokemon 😀
+Punlntended Kanto will always be the most memorable. Epic Gym leaders and an awesome soundtrack that just gets better with age (and even more so if remixed into rock or orchestrated). Great times...
ill be 32 in june and to this day i still day dream about wandering around johto imagining the clean air, lush environment and welcoming townsfolk. what a great theme
I got into Pokemon games really around the age of 8. My sister's boyfriend had found an emulator online, and introduced me to them. Well, Silver or Crystal was always one that I played, and I remember rushing home from school just to play this work of art. I'd spend hours on the computer, leveling up my Mareep to a Ampharos in the long run, going through Olivine city and fishing, or listening to Ecruteak's awesome soundtracks. But this track..I remember distinctly thinking to myself, back in 2009, "In 20 years, nobody's going to remember this music. And that makes me really sad". Well, I'm glad people remember it. Thank you, everyone.
the most nostalgia song ever probably. it's sad to be old now, i just miss the old times as young boy playing silver/gold and pokemon stadium with my brother
Aw, the good old times. I remember my old Silver file, my Quilava, Flaaffy, Quagsire, Gastly, Sudowoodo, and the Eevee I was training into Espeon/Umbreon . . . . those were good times, until my save file became corrupted . . . . This music makes me shed a tear, remembering all those good times, riding around and training up my Eevee and Barbara the Beedrill. I guess, you never really notice the best times of life until they're gone . . . .
I also had an Umbreon on my team. I had it in my party all the time everywhere I go, every gym and trainer I fought, even all the way to the elite four and beyond.. exploring every corner of Johto and Kanto. sigh I wish I could go back to those days
Gosh, i may not have been in the generation who played this, but having played this on an emulator back in 2017/2016 as a kid was amazing. Even if it was only 5 years ago, I still feel nostalgia for this and loved replaying it again recently Great OST combined with nostalgia, a very nice mix ^^
Bizarrely, these towns and music and gyms and gym leaders from these old games all have flavours to me. I can taste the unique blend of excitement and mystery from this town. I think its because I played these games so young when I was a kid, and was most likely slightly synesthesic at that age.
Leaving my comment here, so when i come back i see this and remember my childhood, i love this music and played alot of pokemon crystal, going to turn 18 in less than a year
Yeah imagine the intensity of the feeling for us in our 30's especially considering just how massive Pokemania had been right up to these games coming out. Enjoy your youth once you hit your 20's time flies by.
i can become a pokemon maniac thanks to Pokemon Crystal and pokemon Fire Red If i never get tht gameboy as my born gift and my sister birthday gift i will never able know this beautiful childhood i might trap with this evil world. Thank u pokemon for giving me such a beautiful childhood memory. I’m now 19 years old and those beautiful memories still inside my head and everytime i remember i always cry how much i struggle face blue tht time and remember my big sis gave me her old game since i rlly love play pokemon and she gave me a older generation of pokemon. Tht’s make me happy i can feels how it is play a pokemon before i get my first ds and play gen 4 and 5. At least i can see the difference between how it looks like between gen 2 and 4 between the original beautiful story and painful way to find 3 beast. Will always in my mind abt gen 2. Those struggle we face to find Raikou and Entei it’s unreplacable while in gen 4 they make it easier find raikou and entei but the differences is they won’t open bell tower until we find rainbow wing and find suicune at kanto. The differences between hard level between every gen make it different. Those struggle we get in older gen is wht makes those memory i get from gen 2 much more meaningful then gen 4🤧
Ahh yes, the times of playing Pokémon Crystal. In that Slowpoke well/cave is where I caught my first EVER shiny. It was of course a Slowpoke, and it was the absolute star of my team as a Slowbro. Such a powerful Pokémon too. The nostalgia hits hard, and I for one have always aspired to keep my inner child alive and happy. I turned 31 this year, and I have to say I have no shame in living my life the way I want to. I hope all of you reading this find the capacity to be kind to yourselves and to make room in your lives for the things that make you truly happy, whatever they may be; and to remove as much of the unnecessary negativity in your lives as possible!
I've recently gone back to SoulSilver. As much as I like the improvements and new additions, I'm still bothered that there are more points now in the remake where NPCs stop you from progressing because the developers thought dumping exposition and force you to go somewhere happens to a greater extent than the originals, even more than Crystal which was the more story focused version of the 3 generation 2 games. This makes me appreciate the original Gold and Silver versions for not holding your hand so much (just giving you the HM's like they were candy) and not telling/forcing you to go somewhere because apparently letting people figure out where to go by themselves was "too difficult". Lugia, Ho oh and the other legendaries being an optional bonus was better than the game forcing you to get them.
This makes me feel sad and nostalgic....the days my life was only about Pokemon, playing Pokemon games and cards with my friends and family.....those times will never come back :(
It's weird to think, this little digital world on a cartridge had such a profound impact on me. And stranger still to know that this little digital world where I used to roam will still be there long after I'm gone.
POV: it's summer break, 2013. you've sat down to watch youtube at noon on a warm day, and found a video on some obscure pokemon topic. this song begins to play. you feel cozy, and know damn well this is about to be a great video.
Kids these days will never understand the nostalgia we have for Pokémon Gold/Silver. No matter how much of it has aged poorly, there’s a reason everyone wanted a remake of this era for so long. I miss the end of the 90s.
I appreciate them for being the last games that didn't think you needed to be handed over the HM's as though you couldn't be expected to figure out which NPCs and locations you needed to go to. Sure, back then I was frustrated when I couldn't remember a specific NPC or location, but at least these games weren't afraid to let you figure things out on your own. And didn't force you to go to x location for the box art legendaries. Ho oh, Lugia, the legendary hounds, all being completely optional was great! That gave me an incentive to keep playing the game(s).
A Totodile so young and brave He shot lasers from his eyes and made a Scary Face The voices would guide his way In the land of Johto, chosen by AJ There was an Admiral who taught him to aim Then he was gone and nothing's the same He picked up the sword, and he solemnly swore his revenge See you later, Lazor Gator... In a while, Totodile... He goes to deliver A message to Mt. Silver The Helix knew it all along "No gods, no kings, only 'Mon"
Oddly enough, had you given me the choice at 7 years old between Silver/G/C or the ds remakes HG/SS I think I would have still preferred the originals. As a kid I had a strong attachment to older media, while I was wowed by many new games, I craved the older consoles since for me it felt like such a drastic change that seemed to have occurred in a blink of an eye. One moment I was playing Pokemon Silver on the Gameboy Color, next came the GBA, then as fast as the GBA came the DS was released along with many of the remakes of the games that for me were still extremely recent. I was born in 98 so I was kid during the remnants of the 90s tech and entertainment when they were on their last years which the beginning of the 2000s were just the shifting years. It's an odd thing to be at one moment playing on consoles like the N64 and GBC just to see how fast these two were replaced by the GameCube and GBA, then suddenly the DS and Wii seemingly not very long after the GameCube and GBA. I also had a great urge to finish the original versions on the Gameboy Color (long story short it was broken), while I liked the idea of playing the remakes I just wanted the full experience of the original versions that I just never bothered to fully finish (took my sweet time going around towns and exploring the caves and seeing what Pokemon I could find in the grass, that's where my mind was, exploration not completion)
After looking up the release dates of the GameCube, GBA, DS and Wii, yeah no wonder it seemed as though I was being overwhelmed with these consoles. That was such a small amount of years to actually play the previous consoles released at the beginning of the 2000s.
i played Pokemon Silver/Crystal when it came out. I still have all the saves on the game boy advance from back then,from Red and Silver. They are the most intense,sublime,infinite memories I have.No good pokemon games went after
I have to say it, this is the best generation in my opinion. Just... the feeling of adventure you get, the layouts, the "story"... I didn't even play this until about 2008. It's my favorite (Crystal anyways,) and always will be.
This song will never get old. It takes me back to my childhood. I forget about all my problems. It's just me, my room, and a video game to explore. Time does not exist.
i’m 13. a nintendo kid, always was. got slowly introduced to pokemon around age 9 (was always familiar with the franchise, tho never interested) i eventually wanted to give it a try and bought crystal on my beat up 3ds. best decision ever honestly, i was hooked for weeks on the game. eventually had to evacuate for a hurricane and i played it for countless hours a day at my grandma’s house, always listened to pokemon music while doing my homework. remember leaving azalea town playing on my 3ds constantly. will forever be my favorite town, bugsy being my favorite gym leader too. cry everytime i listen to this.. oh to be a kid again, right? :’)
I think I especially like Gen 2 for its ''layed-back nature''/''mystery'' theme and Gen 3 for its ''seaside shenanigans''/''land Vs. sea'' theme respectively. Some people hate on Gen 2 for some reason, but I think it's a great evolution (see what I did there) of the Pokémon series in general.
GSC as my introduction into the pokemon series and god does this bring back memories of staying up past 8:00 playing this under the covers while mom and dad slept. God, it's been so long, it honestly makes me wanna cry.
The whole soundtrack is great, but no other song really holds this much emotion and nostalgia. Something about those chords and the expression of that lead line...man, can't get enough of this one.
*fakes back pain out of wimpery* "Go in my place,.... Show them how gutsy you are!" Me: Screw you, Kurt! *beats Team Rocket and saves Slowpoke* Kurt: *gives a few crappy balls*
Probably the most audio appealing, and amazing music design in the game!!! This is my 2nd most favorite soundtrack in the game after the National Park theme.......i just love it. It's simple, upbeat and carefree. Brings back sooo much warm memories
I wasn't talking about that. I'm 17 and I still play it! But it's not the same you know? As a child, Pokemon was the greatest thing ever, me and my friends and nephews always played it together, watched the series together. And now, I feel so nostalgic because of all that ;_;
Oh, the sweet memories of my childhood, where I got beat up by bullies, bad grades, was hated by every teacher at my school, BUT I had a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Gold - that compensated everything times thousand! Thank you very much for the upload and bringing back memories of my childhood. :)
True. Your first time is probably the best time. Our first times playing Pokemon was when we were kids. These memories are so beautiful. I'm thankful that Pokemon was brought to Canada all the way from Japan.
To be a kid again. This music makes me feel so sad that my childhood has disappeared, people have died, jobs come and go, responsibilities emerge. So depressing how I used to hide under the covers playing Crystal late into the night.
OMG. I used to hide under the covers and play Crystal too as a kid! And you sum it up really well. Becoming an adult sorta sucks. Lol.
You stated all. Listening to this song is like having heavy flashbacks of your life.
At least you had a Game Boy light.
We went under the covers after we were told to go the fuck to bed lol. I miss it too bro. I'll never forget the exchange from Blue/Red/Yellow to Gold/Silver/Crystal. Day to Night, setting the days correctly so I could rush from New Bark Town to the Bug Catching Contest to catch my buddies Gastly (Haunter) & Scyther. Crystal is still my favourite out of them all simply because it was so unique. Johto to Kanto was the ultimate nostalgia for me.

The thing about playing these games as a kid was that anything was possible, we didn't know about gaming conventions or limitations, as far as we were concerned the next town could hold adventures in sunken caves or tall towers and we could never see the end until we were there, fighting it out.

At least i can see the difference between how it looks like between gen 2 and 4 between the original beautiful story and painful way to find 3 beast. Will always in my mind abt gen 2. Those struggle we face to find Raikou and Entei it’s unreplacable while in gen 4 they make it easier find raikou and entei but the differences is they won’t open bell tower until we find rainbow wing and find suicune at kanto. The differences between hard level between every gen make it different. Those struggle we get in older gen is wht makes those memory i get from gen 2 much more meaningful then gen 4🤧
Ahh yes, the times of playing Pokémon Crystal. In that Slowpoke well/cave is where I caught my first EVER shiny. It was of course a Slowpoke, and it was the absolute star of my team as a Slowbro. Such a powerful Pokémon too. The nostalgia hits hard, and I for one have always aspired to keep my inner child alive and happy. I turned 31 this year, and I have to say I have no shame in living my life the way I want to. I hope all of you reading this find the capacity to be kind to yourselves and to make room in your lives for the things that make you truly happy, whatever they may be; and to remove as much of the unnecessary negativity in your lives as possible!
This was happiest theme in the game, and also a true masterpiece
Esto era Pokémon señores, no la mierda de ahora.
I've recently gone back to SoulSilver. As much as I like the improvements and new additions, I'm still bothered that there are more points now in the remake where NPCs stop you from progressing because the developers thought dumping exposition and force you to go somewhere happens to a greater extent than the originals, even more than Crystal which was the more story focused version of the 3 generation 2 games. This makes me appreciate the original Gold and Silver versions for not holding your hand so much (just giving you the HM's like they were candy) and not telling/forcing you to go somewhere because apparently letting people figure out where to go by themselves was "too difficult". Lugia, Ho oh and the other legendaries being an optional bonus was better than the game forcing you to get them.
@@jacobj3933 agree. I have Pokemon moon, and the moves show if they are effective or weak against your opponent. I hate it so much 😂
Ah! My all-time favorite Pokemon OST.. Nice hearing you again in 2021 and its almost 2022. I miss hearing you, my dear old town!

man i just wish i could go back....
This is the one i've been looking for. Thank you for uploading this sir!
the nostalgia is real
This makes me feel sad and nostalgic....the days my life was only about Pokemon, playing Pokemon games and cards with my friends and family.....those times will never come back :(
It's weird to think, this little digital world on a cartridge had such a profound impact on me. And stranger still to know that this little digital world where I used to roam will still be there long after I'm gone.
those slowpoke sprites with the dumb sounding cry always made me smile after the long .............
just blissful
I cry everytime I hear this, new bark town and route 27 (on the way to victory road).
same here
And Ecruteak.
POV: it's summer break, 2013. you've sat down to watch youtube at noon on a warm day, and found a video on some obscure pokemon topic. this song begins to play. you feel cozy, and know damn well this is about to be a great video.
Kids these days will never understand the nostalgia we have for Pokémon Gold/Silver. No matter how much of it has aged poorly, there’s a reason everyone wanted a remake of this era for so long. I miss the end of the 90s.
The last great decade
I appreciate them for being the last games that didn't think you needed to be handed over the HM's as though you couldn't be expected to figure out which NPCs and locations you needed to go to. Sure, back then I was frustrated when I couldn't remember a specific NPC or location, but at least these games weren't afraid to let you figure things out on your own. And didn't force you to go to x location for the box art legendaries. Ho oh, Lugia, the legendary hounds, all being completely optional was great! That gave me an incentive to keep playing the game(s).
I found reasons to go back to Azalea and Blackthorn just for this Jam xxx
A Totodile so young and brave
He shot lasers from his eyes and made a Scary Face
The voices would guide his way
In the land of Johto, chosen by AJ
There was an Admiral who taught him to aim
Then he was gone and nothing's the same
He picked up the sword,
and he solemnly swore his revenge
See you later,
Lazor Gator...
In a while,
Totodile...
He goes to deliver
A message to Mt. Silver
The Helix knew it all along
"No gods, no kings, only 'Mon"
RIP, the only man who could be a father to me and introduced me to this game. His memory lives on in these fucking tunes!
I love this city's soundtrack and those hilarious looking Slowpokes scattered all around.
Oddly enough, had you given me the choice at 7 years old between Silver/G/C or the ds remakes HG/SS I think I would have still preferred the originals. As a kid I had a strong attachment to older media, while I was wowed by many new games, I craved the older consoles since for me it felt like such a drastic change that seemed to have occurred in a blink of an eye. One moment I was playing Pokemon Silver on the Gameboy Color, next came the GBA, then as fast as the GBA came the DS was released along with many of the remakes of the games that for me were still extremely recent. I was born in 98 so I was kid during the remnants of the 90s tech and entertainment when they were on their last years which the beginning of the 2000s were just the shifting years. It's an odd thing to be at one moment playing on consoles like the N64 and GBC just to see how fast these two were replaced by the GameCube and GBA, then suddenly the DS and Wii seemingly not very long after the GameCube and GBA. I also had a great urge to finish the original versions on the Gameboy Color (long story short it was broken), while I liked the idea of playing the remakes I just wanted the full experience of the original versions that I just never bothered to fully finish (took my sweet time going around towns and exploring the caves and seeing what Pokemon I could find in the grass, that's where my mind was, exploration not completion)
After looking up the release dates of the GameCube, GBA, DS and Wii, yeah no wonder it seemed as though I was being overwhelmed with these consoles. That was such a small amount of years to actually play the previous consoles released at the beginning of the 2000s.
This was my favorite theme in the generation II games it made me cry quite often as a kid

Good times indeed, pokemonmusicmaster. I love these soundtracks. Thank you so much for posting all this.
remember this like yesterday
i played Pokemon Silver/Crystal when it came out. I still have all the saves on the game boy advance from back then,from Red and Silver. They are the most intense,sublime,infinite memories I have.No good pokemon games went after
OMG I love this town music I miss my childhood T_T
The music in the earlier pokemon games was amazing. Gen 1 through this one was i grew up on through born til age 7 sappphire came out. Best music.
I have to say it, this is the best generation in my opinion. Just... the feeling of adventure you get, the layouts, the "story"... I didn't even play this until about 2008. It's my favorite (Crystal anyways,) and always will be.
This song will never get old. It takes me back to my childhood. I forget about all my problems. It's just me, my room, and a video game to explore. Time does not exist.
Yeah, when I got to Four Island and heard this, I was like, drowned with nostalgia.
Ah, the memories...
been playing these games since GB and gen 2 has the most memorable soundtrack for me. thanks for the upload!
Best theme song out of all the towns and cities in this gen
i’m 13. a nintendo kid, always was. got slowly introduced to pokemon around age 9 (was always familiar with the franchise, tho never interested) i eventually wanted to give it a try and bought crystal on my beat up 3ds. best decision ever honestly, i was hooked for weeks on the game. eventually had to evacuate for a hurricane and i played it for countless hours a day at my grandma’s house, always listened to pokemon music while doing my homework. remember leaving azalea town playing on my 3ds constantly. will forever be my favorite town, bugsy being my favorite gym leader too. cry everytime i listen to this.. oh to be a kid again, right? :’)
Aww
I'm 34 and it reminds me of my own childhood 😭
Dude you’re still a kid lmao
@@simonediliberto4314 i’m talking about like. a little kid, i’m completely aware i’m still technically a child
I think I especially like Gen 2 for its ''layed-back nature''/''mystery'' theme and Gen 3 for its ''seaside shenanigans''/''land Vs. sea'' theme respectively. Some people hate on Gen 2 for some reason, but I think it's a great evolution (see what I did there) of the Pokémon series in general.
GSC as my introduction into the pokemon series and god does this bring back memories of staying up past 8:00 playing this under the covers while mom and dad slept. God, it's been so long, it honestly makes me wanna cry.
this song SUCKS i HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like if you agree
broooooo
I'm gonna fucking cry man...
I miss my gold version and my trusty Feraligatr...
Or just get a Gameboy color
Yup ... ... ... Good times 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 🤤
@@Luna_Potato lmao
Cyndaquil was my very first pokemon ❤
Johto music makes me so happy.
The whole soundtrack is great, but no other song really holds this much emotion and nostalgia. Something about those chords and the expression of that lead line...man, can't get enough of this one.
*fakes back pain out of wimpery*
"Go in my place,.... Show them how gutsy you are!"
Me: Screw you, Kurt!
*beats Team Rocket and saves Slowpoke*
Kurt: *gives a few crappy balls*
kurt kinda old tho, I don't think he was faking
Probably the most audio appealing, and amazing music design in the game!!! This is my 2nd most favorite soundtrack in the game after the National Park theme.......i just love it. It's simple, upbeat and carefree. Brings back sooo much warm memories
this is actually amazing so inspiring and with super limited means
Here is it with les limited means th-cam.com/video/oUf9pNOJJ1c/w-d-xo.html
I wasn't talking about that. I'm 17 and I still play it! But it's not the same you know? As a child, Pokemon was the greatest thing ever, me and my friends and nephews always played it together, watched the series together. And now, I feel so nostalgic because of all that ;_;
When the humanity would set the world peace, this melody will sound in every place
Might I suggest The Consouls cover in every place? th-cam.com/video/oUf9pNOJJ1c/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately that will never happen…
You are a good man, spreading the nostalgia! :D
This song beat all the original Red/Blue ones as well. Great job by the producers!!! Amazing work :).
Oh, the sweet memories of my childhood, where I got beat up by bullies, bad grades, was hated by every teacher at my school, BUT I had a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Gold - that compensated everything times thousand!
Thank you very much for the upload and bringing back memories of my childhood. :)
이 음악은 2세대로 성도지방의 고동마을(Azalea Town), 검은먹시티(Blackthorn City)에서 각각 사용되어 있습니다.
고맙덩
i was just listening to some good old r/s/e and then this comes up
thank you youtube recommendations
I loved Crystal.
One of my favorite town themes
hoenn, johto, and sinnoh have best soundtracks.
Unova too, Kalos and even Galar. I like music from all games.
True. Your first time is probably the best time. Our first times playing Pokemon was when we were kids. These memories are so beautiful. I'm thankful that Pokemon was brought to Canada all the way from Japan.
Favorite soundtrack in the game!
Replaying through my crystal version and when I got to this town I just stood there enjoying the music
