>lol i dunt even need to listen cuz its gen 5 so it sucks XD
>>
>>24871081
People pretty much just want to hate gen 5 for one reason or another. I personally thought gen 5 had the best music overall.
>>
>>24871081
it has good music i love the Rival battle theme and Gym leader final pokemon theme
>>
>>24871081
It isn't. I love gen 5 music and you have great taste anon. Not my favorite generation music but it isn't the worst. Underrated? I think that is just a meme.

Smh... Gen V gave us THE WORST Champion theme to date.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DobvGOqzDlw
>>
>>24872842
Out of all the battle themes in Gen V this is the only one I don't love
Everything else is fucking great though, and I forgave them when they gave us Iris' theme
>>
>>24872842
The true Final Boss theme is N, though.
>>
Gen 5 has my favourite E4 theme, second to Gen 3
Shit is intense as fuck
https://youtube.com/watch?v=XnJwd9zrjiA
>>
>>24871081
Because it's legitimately the worst in the franchise. The instrumentation selected was absolute shit, that ridiculous grinding noise that was present in half the battle themes absolutely ruined them. The minor legendary theme in particular was just atrocious.

Oh, and Iris' theme, which was absolute garbage and the worst battle theme in the series.

I actually like gen 5 and I enjoyed it more than 2 or 4 but I'm not going to gloss over its flaws just because of that.
>>
>>24872866
I thought it was the absolute best, and Gen 5 isn't even my favourite gen.
Saying it's "legitimately the worst in the franchise" is silly, since it just depends on your own taste.
>>
>>24872866
>Iris theme
>garbage

I think you need to get your ears checked. Possibly your taste too.
>>
>>24872866
While DPP music tried to be more orchestral and slow paced, BW tried a more retro approach I would say, which I find great.
You have your opinion, but for me Gen 5 soundtrack is one of the pinnacle of the series.

You clearly need to get some taste in the first place. Iris' theme is maybe two steps above Resident Evil's basement fart orchestra.
>>
>>24872876
If that were true, asking why it's underrated would be a pointless question, since the only possible answer is "subjective taste."

Luckily music has a science to it and BW/2's lack of popularity in that regard can be traced squarely to its objective inferiority in a majority of cases.
>>

>music has a science to it

So what's the objective best piece of music?

Gen5 was okay i fucking hate N though he was a pile of shit with a shit team
>>
man, fucking village bridge. i was in a tough time in my life when b/w came out. my parents divorced, i realized i was with a girl i didnt love, school fucked my shit sideways. my doctor put me on zoloft but i hated how i felt on them so i kinda just took them in phases.
id come home from school, slip under the covers, and just play that village bridge song with all the little guys playing their instruments.
>>
>>24872842
Might be shilling blindly, but this doesn't sound like a champion theme because Alder isn't the final boss. N is. And N's theme is crazy intense. Alder is just an add-on challenge.

That said, still not a good theme. Didn't fit Alder at all. I forgive Gen V for this one flaw in its OST.
>>
>>24871081
Thanks reminding me about my love for Lacunosa. Easily my favorite town/city in all of Pokemon. The music is just too good, the stuff they do with elevation is cool, the lore is great, and the city has a really nice aesthetic.

>Accumula Town

I remember the first time I got those 2 NPCs to play their instruments and the town music just came to life with the added instruments.

I didn't wanna leave the town.
>>
>>24872842
No one cares about Alder anyway.
>>
>>24871081

I love gen 5 music, but then again. I can't think of a gen with outright bad music.

Probably my least favorite would be Johto or Hoenn and these still have their own gems.
>>
It's not. It's shitty.
>>
>>24873898
Seriously, could you say that about any other second town? BW were basically the only games to not shirk a single city/town.
>>
>>24872970
There isn't one, because he's full of shit.
>>
>>24873953
It's because they went all out with the writing in Gen V. Each town had little tidbits of lore and background in addition to the visual attention to detail.

I wish R/S would have been remade in Gen V instead of VI. They would have been perfect with the Gen V aesthetics and writing.
>>
>>24872936
Music has a science to it, but that's only to determine notation and structure. There's no such thing as objective truth when it comes to interpreting art.
>>
Yeaah Black and white had the best music in Pokemon by far...as well as the worst anime season.

I know that feel anon, I know that feel. The marine tube music was the one for me.
That's probably one of the reasons I love Gen 5 so much.

>all these bros with fantastic taste
You're really warming my heart, anons. Sometimes I want to walk outside and declare "Gen V had the best soundtrack of any Pokemon game to date!" but I'm afraid I'd get looks.

I love pretty much every theme that's been posted, so I'll just throw down a few that haven't:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H08Cq-tz9MU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4czyD4t1Eo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXMVdtCD_8Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz_AjdXZvpM

I know it's weird that that last one makes me want to cry, but some of my fondest memories are associated with that theme. I've been playing Pokemon since Gen III, but no game left such an impression on me than the Gen V games. BW's impact was something lasting, and BW2 felt like a triumphant return to a region that I absolutely love.

It reminds me of all the times I struggled trying to get in a door using the bike but kept hitting the sides instead. God, I loved Gen V. Even the annoying parts.

>Opelucid Black

Shit fucking taste, Opelucid White shits on it any day of the week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr1Dmrlfj8Y
>>
>>24878116
Different strokes, m8.

White's Opelucid isn't bad, but it doesn't particularly stand out in a region that also has the Village Bridge. Black's Opelucid has a unique sound and is just as beautiful as White's (more beautiful, IMHO, because it's using a danceable and fast-paced beat).
>>
>>24878246
I don't know, man. I do love Village Bridge, but when I entered Opelucid and walked by the erhu player it legitimately captured my attention and I just stood there listening for a while. I think it's one of the prettiest songs in the franchise thanks to that instrument.
>>
>>24875910
Those bikes were pretty zippy, yeah. The bump sound adds something to the song, though.
>>
someone post that english version of village bridge?
>>
>>24872857
this shit here is the most hype piece of music ever recorded for a video game

Really liked this one when I first heard it. That tempo speed changing.
