That wraps up all the videos for the songs from the Side-Quests Volume 1 album! Remember you can download all of the songs from the past couple of weeks for free at gametal.bandcamp.com I'll now be spending the next week or 2 working on the songs for May Madness, make sure you've subscribed so you can be notified when they start coming out! :)
I retreat my Kangaskhan and put Mr. Mime in the active position, and then play Pokemon Breeder to evolve my Abra straight to Alakazam. Good luck getting past this. (For those unfamiliar, Jungle Mr. Mime was an absolutely infuriating card. At 40HP you wouldn't think it was that bulky, but its Pokemon Power, Invisible Wall, prevented ALL damage from attacks that would do 30 or more damage to it, which meant it was impossible to take it out in one turn unless it was already affected by a status condition. What made it worse was that, when paired with Alakazam and big basics like Chansey and Kangaskhan, it could soak up pretty much anything you threw at it. At that point, the only way to get rid of it was to either hit it with a status condition and then one-shot it on the next turn, or use Gust of Wind to drag out the Alakazam and take that out first.)
This song reminds me when I was a infant.... I was getting to the end of the game and thought to myself I know what I need to do from here, where are they at. Countless losses, win then loss, win, win, then lose to recalibrate future decks. The feeling was immaculate and I cherish it.
_"This probably won't be the last time ever that I do a Pokémon TCG song,"_ Please! The internet has a criminal lack of good remixes of this OST. *_CRIMINAL_*
This video is totally underrated. The "Pokémon Trading Card Game" was one of the best games in the 90s. I'm glad you remembered this fantastic game and track.
@@KC-bg1th electric pokemons in this game were broken as hell.. Raichu with Agility (literally keep tossing heads and win), Zapdos that one shots 80% of the cards (and there's even a more legendary version of Zapdos wtf), etc.
When my brother was a kid, he wanted this game so bad early that he had it imported from Japan and learned how to play it in Japanese despite have no idea what it was saying.
Nice! Now that is what i call dedication! Actually, since it is almost only Hiragana if i remember correctly, it is a easy way to learn the language and the writing system to simply play games you love and get familiar with it. Have fun!
No idea why I'm just now getting around to listening to this. This surprising gem of a game is the only reason I know how to actually play the TCG. You rock, as always!
Not only is TCG so underrated, but this track is probably one of my favorite 8-bit themes of all times. This cover did that track justice and is absolutely amazing!
Jonny, I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard with this album that you're making. Several videos in quick succession can take it's toll. Take a break whenever you need it, buddy.
Epic, as always. wanted to thank you for making this as well as thank you for your creative and intuitive musical solo. Love it when musicians make a piece all their own with their own musical flare. Thank you again!!!
That was really awesome! Looked for the original theme on TH-cam for nostalgic reasons and found your cover. :) You caught the spirit of the original perfectly! :)
I sometimes casually play this on my phone nowadays when I am on a ride. Its such a fun game with a lovely soundtrack. Glad it got some dope covers! This one slaps so hard man :D
I never understood the card game system ever. And never knew the made a game out of the game. With a nice soundtrack. For originally a card game. Man I love how you find these and transform them into metal covers.
There were two games actually, though unfortunately we never got the second one. Stupid considering Japan has access to it on the VC now. Why they couldn't give us Green and TCG2:HCTGR when they had to go in and modify them anyway (they had to add wireless communications to the main series games and removed the infrared communications from the TCG games even though the 3DS has infrared and they should've been modified to use it), I've no idea.
Katarina Fox Well, there's TCG Online, which has every set since Heartgold/Soulsilver Base Set, which was new when it launched. Would be nice if they added the older sets, though. Would be cool to have some virtual Gold Stars.
I loved this game as a kid.. but forgot all about it.. thanks for bringing it back.. and even better... I kinda cried thinking of the memories... is that bad? great work.
Everyone's talking about Ridley... I'm just happy to see a remix of what surprised me as a good theme from a very obscure game that I played LONG ago. I'm glad I downloaded it from the E-Shop.
I didn't even know this game existed! :O Boss song though, look forward to you (probably) covering something else from the soundtrack in the future! (Also looking forward to the next song. :D)
Such a good idea to keep the chiptune core mixed with the electric guitar, this sticks to the main theme so much more than the others that completely modernize it, although the ending section was a bit much.
So... Am I the only one that would spend like, forever taking a turn (Or sometimes not doing anything at all) just to hear this track play? >.> I loved this game and the music is probably one of the biggest reasons. That, and I didn't know anyone else who played or even collected the cards so I never had a reason to get into them aside from this game lol.
God the TCG brings back so many memories for me. I still have a whole binder full of the cards I collected. They were my 5 year old self's pride and joy. Anywho, now that Side-Quests videos are out of the way... I suppose it's fair game to request once more. For the love of all things holy, Wanting To Find The Truth from AA Investigations 2. It's obscure enough in the community to warrant a cover but popular enough for a cover to garner attention, and it just begs remixing with how good it is.
Can we get a remix of Shaman in the Dark? Because Idoun was a bad boss, but her theme was EPIC and I feel you are the one man who could truly do it justice.
Happy Star Wars Day Jonny! I thought the Sabotage Theme from Star Wars Battlefront EA would be cool for a remix as it's the 4th of May. May the 4th be with you...
7 years of gametal and no kingdom hearts? might be time for Jonny to take up the keyblade.. any boss fight or battle music from the world that never was would be so fucking brutal
Don't overexert yourself, man. Though I'm not complaining since you did an amazing job as always on this. But still. And I guess that in the event anyone else reads this, I'm gonna go ahead and be the guy who suggests NieR and NieR: Automata music sometime. Something from both the Dragon Quest and Breath of Fire series would be neat to hear sometime too since they don't get nearly enough cover love. Especially of the metal variety.
This was a pleasant surprise! This is great, and really hits that nostalgia. One request though: could you please do Battlefield's Awakening from Etrian Odyssey Untold, or Decisive Battle the End of the World? Either would be great.

Jonny Atma PLZ CAN YOU DO ORDEAL BOSS FROM TEAM KIRBY CLASH DELUXE
May madness will need Maygikarp Madnesstival?
Oh, oh! I'd appreciate it if you were to remix King D-Mind. Unless you did that already, anyway...
Marisa Kirisame THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TOO NICE IDEA😊
Marisa Kirisame I GAVE YOU A FREE SUB😊
Probably the most underrated Pokémon spin off game ever. I never knew how to properly play the Pokémon TCG until I played this game
Same. I remember my cousin and I playing it like war
@@pipermintpat854 yoooo my cousin introduced me to this game as well!
its also way cheaper 😂
Also probably one of the most underappreciated pokemon soundtracks ever.
bout to evolve this machoke and end this whole man's career.
I retreat my Kangaskhan and put Mr. Mime in the active position, and then play Pokemon Breeder to evolve my Abra straight to Alakazam. Good luck getting past this.

@@VestedUTuber Throw a couple of Tentacool in there for good measure.
Loved using Cowardice.
@@VestedUTuber Technically Muk was also a way to deal with Mr. Mime and Alakazam, but also a bit risky because it's weak to psychic.

"This probably won't be the last time ever that I do a Pokémon TCG song" Yeah!
two years later: :(
😢
@@thedanliest 3 years later...
:'(
4 years later...
_"This probably won't be the last time ever that I do a Pokémon TCG song,"_
Please! The internet has a criminal lack of good remixes of this OST.
*_CRIMINAL_*
It's been almost 4 years and I haven't seen another one.
well lucky for you guys, he did a Pokemon TCG song from the sequel, after 6 years
duuude, metal club. metal's actually what they call steel in the tcg.
i love the attention to detail in this pun.
Soooo glad this game is remembered. Great game with a really good soundtrack.
0:55 best part.
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a musician become one with his instrument.
This video is totally underrated. The "Pokémon Trading Card Game" was one of the best games in the 90s. I'm glad you remembered this fantastic game and track.
All I remember is that Jolteon would tear shit up.
@@KC-bg1th electric pokemons in this game were broken as hell.. Raichu with Agility (literally keep tossing heads and win), Zapdos that one shots 80% of the cards (and there's even a more legendary version of Zapdos wtf), etc.
Man, the chiptune on the keyboard was a such a beautiful touch. Legit brought tears to my eyes
When my brother was a kid, he wanted this game so bad early that he had it imported from Japan and learned how to play it in Japanese despite have no idea what it was saying.
Nice! Now that is what i call dedication! Actually, since it is almost only Hiragana if i remember correctly, it is a easy way to learn the language and the writing system to simply play games you love and get familiar with it. Have fun!
This theme and remix both are Stupid good.
The OG had absolutely no reason to slap this hard but it did and then some!
I just can't get over how perfectly you nailed the keyboard sounds and the feel of the original on guitar. Great game, great song, great cover!
the most underrated gym leader theme in the series
Dude.. this gave me chills...
I know what you mean.
No idea why I'm just now getting around to listening to this. This surprising gem of a game is the only reason I know how to actually play the TCG. You rock, as always!
Not only is TCG so underrated, but this track is probably one of my favorite 8-bit themes of all times. This cover did that track justice and is absolutely amazing!
Okay, this is probably my favorite Game Boy game ever, I come back to it and the sequel all the time.
Thank you Jonny for making this song even better
It's nice to see that this game's soundtrack is getting some love too.
This game was and still is my favorite toilet game.
Oh man, I remember this game! One time I beat Ronald (the rival) and a booster pack contained Mew! XD
Also, loved the title card! Great work!
Omg, this is basically my absolute favourite VG soundtrack ever, please more!
Jonny, I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard with this album that you're making. Several videos in quick succession can take it's toll. Take a break whenever you need it, buddy.
Wandering Harlow he made these before, he's just uploading them.
Still, you can't help but be proud of the guy for making them.
Thank you so much for making this song! I'm in tears over here, man! This is beautiful, in more ways than I could tell you!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THAT GAME :D
thank you for doing this :)
Epic, as always. wanted to thank you for making this as well as thank you for your creative and intuitive musical solo. Love it when musicians make a piece all their own with their own musical flare. Thank you again!!!
Gosh this remix is amazing as heck dude. Gave me so much nostalgia, you are amazingly talented.
I never expected youwould do a Pokemon TCG theme. But it's so awesome. Especially because I'm playing the game on virtual console again.
This is one of my favorite VGM tracks of all time! What an excellent rendition of it.
Awesome!
I can't concentrate on the duels with this amazing BGM www
This is my favorite theme on the game boy. And you did it so much justice. My favorite video youve done so far
I never knew a single game of playing cards could be this epic until I played this game on my 3DS...
That was really awesome! Looked for the original theme on TH-cam for nostalgic reasons and found your cover. :)
You caught the spirit of the original perfectly! :)
YES!! This game has such a good soundtrack! Thanks so much for covering something from this awesome game. You killed it!
I love how it always gives you the feeling that your gonna take down you foe, slowly but surely
Man, i loved this game's ost. One of the reasons to keep going back to it.
Fantastic remix/cover!
I had never heard this theme until now, and this gave me chills. Well done, GaMetal, you've done it again.
This is probably my favourite Pokemon music, and you just made it so much better! Good job, man! XD
I love this game to this day. The music was always one of my favorite things about this game, especially this song.
Aww yeah, awesome version of the Club Leader battle theme from Pokémon Trading Card Game! ^^ keep on rocking GaMetal!!
I used to play the Pokemon TCG on Gameboy Color. So much nostalgia. Inspirational as always, Johnny!
This genuinely put a smile on my face, so hype!
I'd like an extended version of that acoustic "Normal Battle" theme, hold the Ridley
I sometimes casually play this on my phone nowadays when I am on a ride. Its such a fun game with a lovely soundtrack. Glad it got some dope covers! This one slaps so hard man :D
Your best song so far, with the 8-bit sounds from the original soundtrack along with the guitar, it's amazing.
I never understood the card game system ever.
And never knew the made a game out of the game.
With a nice soundtrack.
For originally a card game.
Man I love how you find these and transform them into metal covers.
There were two games actually, though unfortunately we never got the second one.

They should do a newer version for Switch but with old cards and online function.
SkySaito Why not an AR game with the entire TGC? I just don't understand why that isn't a thing yet.
Katarina Fox Well, there's TCG Online, which has every set since Heartgold/Soulsilver Base Set, which was new when it launched. Would be nice if they added the older sets, though. Would be cool to have some virtual Gold Stars.
I loved this game as a kid.. but forgot all about it.. thanks for bringing it back.. and even better... I kinda cried thinking of the memories... is that bad? great work.
Holy shit!!! I had no idea you covered this!!! :)
rockin on that nostalgia!! love the tcg ost. you sir are a grandmaster
I've been waiting for someone to arrange this song, this sounds great!
One of the best Game Boy Color tunes. Definitely the best song in the game. I always loved listening to this one while playing the game.
This soundtrack is so damn underrated man.
Glad to see such a nice cover of it!
This game was awesome, this song is great, and this covers amazing! Well done yet again! ^o^
Sick double time section.
This is my childhood. Thank you soooooooooooo MUCH ! :D
Everyone's talking about Ridley... I'm just happy to see a remix of what surprised me as a good theme from a very obscure game that I played LONG ago. I'm glad I downloaded it from the E-Shop.
I am really happy to see this one of my favorite Pokemon Game OST got remix after a long time!
GaMetal's Atma Weapon deck has a focus on Steel and Electric types, of course.
Wait, that can't be right, there's no such thing as Steel type!
It's been so many years... Very nice song, this brings back so many memories :)
I didn't even know this game existed! :O Boss song though, look forward to you (probably) covering something else from the soundtrack in the future! (Also looking forward to the next song. :D)
God-tier soundtrack: hell, even imikuni's theme is good :3
you didnt have to go THAT hard at the end, but im damn glad you did.
I play this game all the time I can't believe he actually is playing my favorite theme of the whole game
Luigidude and DarkToast imagine how i felt when he did my favorite from my favorite game....the tears didnt stop...
I know right I still can't believe he actually did this Johnny im so glad I subscribed to you
Ah! so awesome! thanks for the cover :D
Saw Challenger Approaching screen, my reaction "Oh, Ridley?"
I really enjoyed how it picked up towards the end.
This is sick as hell
This game deserves all the memory of its existence through it's OST alone.
2:25 Rest in peace little buddy.
Holy shit, fucking nailed it!
Such a good idea to keep the chiptune core mixed with the electric guitar, this sticks to the main theme so much more than the others that completely modernize it, although the ending section was a bit much.
This song was pretty good, nice job.
_Sees the silhouette of the next character for the next song_
*OH SHIT!!!*

Am I the only one that would spend like, forever taking a turn (Or sometimes not doing anything at all) just to hear this track play? >.> I loved this game and the music is probably one of the biggest reasons. That, and I didn't know anyone else who played or even collected the cards so I never had a reason to get into them aside from this game lol.
YES I WAS WONDERING WHEN RIDLEY WAS COMING UP!!!
Oh, this brings back so many memories of kicking butt with my TransBurn Deck. =3
Such memories
This absolutely rocks
And now going to listen to this while playing TCG Pocket
would kill for an extended version of that acoustic short
AW man this is amazing, I'm BEGGING you PLEASE if you have the time and energy do the Grandmaster theme coz you would KILL that!!
Who else is here after hearing this theme due to this game getting rereleased on Switch Online?
Samus's nightmare-come-true is coming this May! It's RIDLEY!!!
Most intense trading card match EVER!
Thats really cool man. I wish I was that good at guitar!
God the TCG brings back so many memories for me. I still have a whole binder full of the cards I collected. They were my 5 year old self's pride and joy.

He's just some boss character.
_Not._ _Even._ _Special!_
TarotCard0 yeah But his song
TarotCard0
You kidding me, m8?
He's the mothertrucking field commander of the Space Pirates...and a giant, plasma-breathing dragon!
I hyped for May Madness this year! :D
Yay!
Can we get a remix of Shaman in the Dark? Because Idoun was a bad boss, but her theme was EPIC and I feel you are the one man who could truly do it justice.
Really good remix!
Keep doing good.
Also, ridley next!
Ah the 10 year old nostalgia, great cover man, can't wait to hear more from this game in the future
Happy Star Wars Day Jonny! I thought the Sabotage Theme from Star Wars Battlefront EA would be cool for a remix as it's the 4th of May. May the 4th be with you...

The riff at around 0:09 sounds like it wants to turn into the theme song for “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”
This is briliant.
