March is here and if you weren’t aware, we just recently celebrated Pokémon Day on February 27th, as that was the day that Pokémon Red and Green were released in Japan.
I don’t know if you shared the sentiment but I grew up on Pokémon whether it was the anime or the games. This week for Music Monday I want to share one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Pokémon games:
It might be an odd choice, but I do have some fond memories of this song. It’s ingrained into my head. I had hours upon hours in which I would sit in a battle and just listen to the songs. The countermelody of the song with the runs up and down caught my attention especially since back on the Game Boy there were only four channels of audio for music at that time.
The Game Boy Advance rereleases, FireRed and Leafgreen took the same ideas but added some extra flair with the extra technology at the time:
Leave it to the remixers of the internet, though, they take 4 tracks of audio and make them epic. Check out a few of these remixes of this song!
Do you have a favorite Pokémon music track? Let me know in the comments or let’s talk about it on my Discord server!
