Pokemon Black 2/White 2 Music Discussion/Appreciation Thread

[Bolt the Cat]

Alder's theme is probably a bit more laid back than other ones because even though he's the Champion, it's not mandatory to fight him on your first round of the E4. Having his theme akin to the other Champions wouldn't have really felt right in the context that you finally got to fight him on your second sweep of the E4.

Anyways in my opinion Champion themes should have a degree of seriousness just like the last gym in the game should have some degree of seriousness *glares at Marlon and his gym theme*

Agreed. I wouldn't have minded Alder's theme be somewhere in between, though, I do agree that his theme should be more laid back than other Champion themes.

I don't so much mind the theme of his Gym, I don't think the theme of the area needs to be tense or anything. Man, do I hate Marlon though.

I guess in this case, it may not, because before you can go to the Pokemon League you need to defeat Team Plasma in Giant Chasm. But usually, the 8th gym should have an air of tension to it since the League comes just afterwards. Something more like Drayden's gym theme.

It would be pretty neat if they would have made music exclusive for regional Pokemon (Ex. Pokemon released in R/B/Y would get a remixed version of the Kanto wild battle theme, Pokemon released in G/S/C would get a remixed version of the Johto wild battle theme, etc...). I think it would take away from some of the monotony of wild battles

Yeah, but then every one of the wild Pokemon themes would get equally old, having been in every single game.

Recently picked up Black 2 and managed to get Genesect two days before the event ended, intuition?

I am actually really enjoying the game.

It's better than hearing the same one over and over again

[Bolt the Cat]

That's debatable.

[sAv1Or)]

That's debatable.

Very true.

I'm thinking they should break away from certain themes and make more variations available. Other than the example I just mentioned, things like trainer battles as well. I am aware the encounter themes differ, but a unique battle theme for ea. type of trainer would be pretty cool.

I think it'd be great to have wild Pokemon battles play the battle theme from whatever region that Pokemon was from. It'd be interesting.

Especially since we have a bunch of nice remixes that came w/ the PWT. It would be nice to see what they did w/ the battle themes for wild Pokemon and Trainers

I didn't know Meloetta had a theme/battle theme/whatever until I downloaded the 'official soundtrack' of Black 2 and White 2. It sounds really great. I didn't found it on youtube to link here, unfortunately. There is a version from BW, though, but the one I have here sounds a bit different (and better).

Buy it, don't pirate it.

Why don't you comment about the music instead? And no, thanks. :]

They don't sell it where I live, btw.

It's the event theme for Maloetta. You go to Castelia City and talk to a guy w/ a guitar in Café Sonata and he plays it.

It's very soothing and mischievous @ the same time. It sounds a lot like N's encounter theme. I liked it though.

Oh okay, I didn't really do its event. :/
Yeah, I agree. The song fits both forms of Meloetta, the soothing melody goes well with its Normal/Psychic singer form and the techno sounds fitting its Normal/Fighting dancer one.

It would be nice if Meloetta was battle-able in the game with the said theme playing on its battle.

I'm pretty sure it's not released anywhere so that's a good thing ^^

A battle w/ that song would be...different to say the least

Because I want to support the artists of the music by encouraging people to give them money.

They don't sell it where I live, either. That's what the internet is for, you can order things to where you live. You really should look into it, the package is totally worth it.

I've always wondered what the CD booklet would look like for a Pokemon OST CD. I've never seen one.

They always start out with pictures and some words from the sound team, and then they go through with a bunch of screenshots from different points in the game.

VGMdb has scans of all of them if you want to have a look. Here's the page for Black 2 and White 2. http://vgmdb.net/album/33367

That is pretty slick looking. The cover is a little bland though

I think they look pretty neat. Every set has the two cover legendaries, one on the front and one on the back. The exception being the OST for R/G since they didn't have cover legendaries. That one features the evolutionary lines of Venusaur and Charizard, with Blastoise inside the case.
