What is the best Pokemon song? I feel like the music is an often underappreciated part of the Pokemon series and after zanderlex randomly said the gen 3 wild battle theme is the best I've been listening to a bunch of songs to try and decide what my favorite from the games is. Feel free to list as many as you want because besides my all time favorite song I found it really hard to narrow it down.

So for my first pick Littleroot Town from ORAS is really nostalgic for me with Omega Ruby being my 2nd Pokemon game

Since I'm already on the topic of ORAS I gotta shout out the soaring music

Now for my choice of best encounter music ever I've been obessed with the team skull encounter music since I first heard it in the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo on my birthday 9 years ago

I love the last gym leader pokemon music in Unova

Honestly I could spend all day talking about Unova's music but just one more

I know most people don't like Gladion but I always enjoyed him somewhat I like how he softens throughout the game and have always loved his song

Always have loved the X/Y legendary music probably my favorite XY song.

I also of course have to shout out a few songs from Galar since most of the game I'm not crazy about but a few songs really stick out though that might also be cause of how much I heard them doing VGC back in the day.


Probably not the most popular gen 3 pick but I love the Frontier Brain music

Okay okay one more from the games before I go with my answer but I really love most of Legends ZA's OST but I wanted to go with maybe my favorite song that doesn't involve spoilers and I didn't even realize I liked the song till it showed up as a motif in the DLC in a different song


Okay now for my favorite song of all time XY&Z it's been nearly 10 years since I first decided to start watching Pokemon in Japanese and I'm so glad I did because without doing so I would of never heard XY&Z now Pokemon Company hates this song being on youtube how dare you try to listen to the best Pokemon song outside of Japan they have this song region locked on Spotify for 10 years so I had to kinda pick which youtube video had the best quality but it's still not great very thankful I bought a CD with the full version so I can listen to in high quality anytime now.

I used to listen to the song all the time doing mini games in Minecraft with friends or other action games nothing gets me hyped up the way this song does and I have so many memories associated with the song and loved how it played all the time in the anime since it was used almost every time the Ash Greninja form appeared on top of being the OP. There used to be a really good english cover of the song on Youtube by a channel I found a year prior to him doing the cover but once again Pokemon Company hates you listening to this song so they removed it. Thankfully I had it saved and I can still find it on SoundCloud of all things if I really want to.

Pokémon Theme Song - YouTube i did like the pokemon theme song, man when i was kid i was singing it every it came on when i watch pokemon

Edit double post

Hmm there's multiple really good ones. I really like route 217 I believe from Sinnoh. The snowy ones anyway, I can't remember the exact route number

I think the original Season 1 song is an unbeatable banger in terms of the anime. I'm sure that's 70% nostalgia talking but I don't care I'm backing up my nostalgia. The rose tinted glasses STAY ON.

In terms of games, I think I'm gonna nominate the Mt. Coronet theme from DPPT. When you're a smaller kid, the song feels like it has a certain tinge of "mystery" to it that builds up really well up every time you have to cross it in early and mid game, until the climax of the game where you finally have to climb it and reach the final confrontation with Team Galactic.
