@@LightningLiger you say simple but i minmaxed decks lmao. (havent played in many years though) even then i like hearing the soundtrack any game has to offer, im not one of those weirdos that mutes the game and plays music on the side.
@@LightningLiger The gameplay is complex and calculated af for what it's worth. What are you talking about? The AI is easy, but the game provides a sh*t ton of content. It's not because of simple gameplay mechanics that the music is superior, it's because the devs and musicians back then were just more caring about their projects compared to modern ones.
"What's the music for?" *flips clipboard* "Uh, some GameBoy tie-in for a spin-off children's card game based on our new Pokemon IP." "Hmm, sounds like just the vehicle for my MAGNUM OPUS"
honestly, if more people took something as seriously as "This is so popular that the game got a card game, and the CARD GAME got a game, it must be a big deal" pokemon wouldn't be in the shambling state it's in. It's the biggest entertainment franchise _in existence_ yet it acts like a poor indie company that can't afford to do any work. and the idiots just keep drowning them in money, so they have no reason to work hard. this is almost worse than when we were kids and the things we were into got zero attention or money or care and you got totally ignored or scorned by the masses.
@@BedrockSolid ahhhh man! The Pokemon Dome/ Grand Hall would be so amazing! Your stereo versions are SO much better! I’ve subscribed and turned notifications on!!! 🙏 ❤️
Yep! And it's probably one of the best GBC games of all time! You can find the fan translated ROM for it on the internet, it fully enhaces everything good from the original to 11!
And the award for best gym leader theme in the series goes to a spinoff game. I mean, go figure, the spinoffs have some of the BEST music in the series.
Having listened to this masterpiece twenty years ago... I can now understand it's true meaning... It's describing a life. With expectations, drama, happiness, hardship, tragedy, with a climax midpoint and then another one... until it fades away
I played the Pokémon TCG myself when I was a kid. Although the content is incomprehensible to me as a child, the music is very nice. The Pokémon World Card Game is very rare. If there are more, I want to play too!❤
The Follin bros. (RIP Geoff btw) aren't the only ones it seems! This and DK '94's stage 9-8 seriously there's some sleeper epics on the classic game boy!
Oh man~ This track goes really hard and I /love/ it. Honestly one of my favorite tracks in this game! I could listen to it on repeat for HOURS! Awe, who am I kidding- I AM listening to it on repeat for hours 🫠
"Just three music channels plus percussion? we'll see about that..."
It was three channels INCLUDING percussion. It had two square-wave channels and one noise channel.
@@shadowtheimpureOh, no, it's 4 channels! Two square, one wave, and one noise: th-cam.com/video/BR-rfk01Ubo/w-d-xo.html
@@shadowtheimpure that's not what the beginning of the video said.
@@shadowtheimpure false. it had two square wave channels, a wavetable channel, and a noise channel.
I can see I'm not the only one who saw 8bit music theory's video and came to listen to the whole TCG OST!
the soundtrack had no business being this detailed, such a masterpiece ost.

On a side note, did you know it has a sequel? It's pretty great, but you're absolutely going to have to emulate it.
@@percher4824 yeah i did, i never got around to emulating it though

that stereo bass trick at the start when it's just drums and bass playing is great
It's criminal that this music isn't in TCG Pocket!
The sound track of my childhood.
Fucking goosebumps remembering this song as im going toe to toe with the clubmaster with the fucking chanseys
Dudeeeeeeee that chancey has been living in my subconscious until this very moment.
@@PointedHeels1 thats the guy with the alakazams? I remeber everyone i knew only being able to deck him out to win. Me i beat him by taking prizes LOL
Fuckin' Murray. The stall of all stall decks lol
I forgot all about this battle music. IGN Award for Best Battle Song Nobody Talks About!
0:56 - 1:49: I could listen to this forever.
I always lose my shit at this part. It goes so hard for absolutely no reason at all lol.
I agree but the intro is so powerful it drags you in to the climax
Glad this soundtrack is finally getting recognition. Probably top 10 video game OSTs to be honest
Absolutely, both melodically and technically!
These TCG remasters slap so hard. I hope you'll consider doing more from TCG 1 & 2!
If you have any requests, I can do anything from TCG 1!
@@BedrockSolid Can nothing from TGC 2 be done? The OST from GR Fortress Leader slaps so hard!
Great work on these btw

Thank you so so so much for this wonderful gift 😂 it will be part of all my Christmases to come!!
Pokemon game boy games have such incredible OSTs
i was smiling going into this and then it started and everything tingled, its so good lol
Had this song stuck in my head for the past week
Goosebumps, this is a masterpiece
This is an INCREDIBLE mix, seriously thank you so much. I'm blasting it, I hope my neighbors enjoy it for the sixth time.
0:58 literally got chills.
I commend you for remastering this. Such an underrated song
These rebalancings sound excellent. Thank you!
This track is epic… it hits right in the nostalgia.
Im putting this on repeat when playing tcg live
These songs are some of my favorite OSTS from a video game. Thanks for making them stereo! I hope you do more of them sometime!
bangs, thrashs, absolutely NO REASON TO GO THIS HARD ON THE GAME BOY
If you plugged headphones into the GameBoy it had stereo the whole time
Yep. I was just about to comment that this mix is exactly what it sounded like when headphones were plugged in😄
As a kid I made a crappy cassette recording of this using computer speakers and a Talkboy. Peak 90's.
@@DyceFreak haha. Do you still have it to share? 😄
@@DyceFreak that's awesome, I totally forgot about Talkboy!
Very well done remaster, this tune is still really good
Banger
0:55～Climax
Rising Action.
1:30 is the climax
Incredible piece, incredible mix.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I never noticed Final Fantasy 8's card game stole the intro of this song.
They had no reason to make this go so hard.
solid.
YES!!!!
Pokémon TCG Pocket soon...
*kisses your lip suck*
The first part sounds like an Alan Parsons instrumental.
Was definitely getting Pink Floyd vibes, considering Alan Parson was their producer, it makes sense!
0:56
Mega Man ahh song
❤❤❤
Sounds like Blondie and Muse lmao
