The overworld themes were great. Diantha's theme was great. But all the others just aren't good.

The best way I can describe it, is that they try too hard to be awesome, with overused drums and electric guitars. I was listening to a track from BrawlBRSTMS3 and I hear about 45 seconds of drums and a few notes here or there, and then a melody came in, if you can even call it that.

I don't know about you, but I think Pokemon focused too much on graphics. The storyline is very terrible IMO(You: Who are you? Flare: We're going to take over the world!) and post game, music, and overall creativity were pretty bad.

I don't think the sound was all that bad, I will say that I like the original pokemon sounds and music better and maybe they could've just changed it up a bit for X an Y, but I don't think it was god awful or anything. As for storyline, there is only so much they can do to change up the plot of pokemon games because regardless you are still going to have an enemy or rivals to beat, gyms to beat, as well as an elite 4. 

I didn't think the game was to bad overall, I thought the graphics were good, the music was okay and the rest was fairly decent...on a scale of 1 to 10 I would score each category: 


Graphics: 10
Sound/Music: 5.5
Story: 5-6

That is just my opinion though...I think all of the cool new features that X an Y offered partially made up for it though.

I don't think that they are essentially bad, but I do feel that the music for X and Y are the worst in the series. There are a few good songs, but to me, some of the songs just are not that catchy.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

Don't get me wrong I did like the music in x and y but they were nothing compared to the themes in pokemon black and white 2 which was by far my favorite pokemon game when it comes to soundtracks. After playing Black and White 2, X and Y's music just feel mediocre compared to it. That doesn't mean that I didn't like the tracks but I was kind of disappointed.

The Music and the lack of post game content is mainly what stopped me from liking X and Y as much as I wanted to though I still think it's a great game.

I agree that the music was not "terrible" in X and Y, but it certainly was a downgrade compared to Black & White. The music, while better quality sound, was fairly generic. There was not any songs that necessarily sounded out of place or anything, as they all seemed to fit each area and event (I loved the rival battle themes, for instance). Unfortunately, X and Y just did not have extremely memorable tunes like the others games I have played.

I think they weren't memorable because they overused drums. How the heck are you supposed to hum a song to yourself that's completely drums without sounding like a complete idiot?

I don't have a problem with the music. In fact I really like some tracks, like the bike music, I think XY's bike music was the best bike music so far. Even if I didn't like the music I wouldn't complain, other parts of the game more than make up for it. Honestly I think my only problem with XY is the fact that it doesn't have very much post game content. Like, it has post game stuff, just not as much as 5th Gen had. Hopefully they add more post game stuff to the next game(s). I know people complain about the story, like for lots of people it's their biggest problem with the game, but considering the fact that the games are targeted at 10 year olds and it shouldn't be to complex or mature for the young target audience, it's really not that bad. Plus, it's not a rare thing for a main Pokemon game to lack story, just look at the original games, they had virtually no story, just the two or three Team Rocket things and the traditional eight gyms and league. I'm getting off topic, basically I don't think XY's music was that bad.

I do not think that the music was terrible, but im general they were not my favorite. The themes of the music were enjoyable. So I guess all in all I didn't like them that much.

I liked the Champion's theme and the VS Xerneas or Yveltal theme. The rest of Pokémon X and Y's music was okay, but it was bland and forgettable for me.

As it's already been said, the music was good to a lot of people. It can be pretty hit or miss, but I think it was decent enough all around. The story though.. I'm just going to guess you never beat the whole game, since you just say Team Flare's goal is "We're gonna take over the world.." If you have played it all the way through, it's a tiny bit more complicated then that. The bit of social commentary in the story is a bit weird though.

The music was quite a bit less melodic, with the more powerful instruments quieted down a bit, quite contrasting past entries (RSE, anyone?). I find that X and Y's music is an acquired taste, and fills its own niche. I don't want to see this type of music become the norm, though.

I honestly think the gym leader was awesome along with the champion and elite four themes but thats about it. But the game is still awesome none the less.

In my opinion I think its a great soundtrack, not as good as other entries of the franchise (gold and silver) but it was kinda enjoiable....in a way.

I'm not the biggest fan of X and Y music.

However, i do believe that X and Y music fits the game. It's not as good as older ones (R/S and B/W anyone?), but it's good enough for X and Y.

That makes me wonder how the themes are going to be in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire... But oh well, that's not the point of the topic ^^

I think the music in X/Y was awesome. Maybe it's cause I'm a kid that I like that kind of music, and this was the first game to use dub step, but it's still boss to me.

righteousnoob : I don't believe is that. I guess it's basically what was said: X and Y music is not bad (Honestly, there's a lot of themes that i can hear for long periods of time), but they're not as good as the old ones.
There's no problem in liking X/Y music though, so whatever :3
