It's more like a friendly spar between childhood friends. The music matches the kind of battle, in my opinion.

If N gets his own battle theme, then I'd expect something more akin to Silver's theme or Blue's theme.

I have mixed feelings with what I've heard so far, most of it is good however; for the wild encounters, the rival and trainer battles, Pretty good! The only music I have a problem with is Hiun City. Dont get me wrong, its a great tune, but do you really want a song that simple and repetitive the music for the biggest town throughout all the Pokemon games?

To be honest I always play the game muted. I didn't when I was younger, I'll listen to the music this time around however, that's how excited I am about B&W

The music is already better than most DPPt tracks by far. I'm looking forward to listening to all of the tracks fully.

I cannot wait for the music in this game..DPPt was eh, HGSS was great (except for the routes..and the nostalgia factor was 0), and I'm looking forward to BW.

VGMs are all I listen to really.

Music and Nostalgia are definitely partners in crime. The music in RBY, GSC, RSE is far more imprinted on me than DPPt. It was a joy hearing the old City music in HGSS revamped. It's not just the games of course, the anime plays a crucial role in that too.

I'm going to make an effort to really get into the music this time around. I know a song is good when I can randomly hum it during the day (Damn you Bicyle music and Surfing music!) Music does that by being incredibly unique. So far, the Rival Music and Hiun City are appealing to me the most with very unique intro tunes.

Maybe it's just me, but the beginning of the Wild Pokemon theme has a weird time-signature.

It's pretty good. I mean, from what I've heard so far, there's nothing wrong with the composition, but the themes haven't grown on me (I can't remember them without watching a video again), and the wild battle theme has already gotten kind of annoying. Still, the musical style seems to replicate that of R/S, which had my favorite soundtrack, so I have my hopes up for a great soundtrack.

Same here. I wouldn't even recognize any of the music from Gen III and IV because I never had the sound on except in SoulSilver, and that's only because I have the GB Sounds. I haven't listened to any of the music so far, mostly because I don't speak Japanese and therefore never thought to put the volume on while watching the videos (I keep my computer muted when I'm not listening to music, too many loud, annoying ads on the Internet these days... )

I played with the sound off in like the first two games, but generally knew the music from the times I would play with the sound on. Just was so convinced sound on killed the batteries, so I never had it on. Playing FRLG and HGSS though I recognized the music and it was nice and nostalic. So glad I started playing with the sound on in Gen III, mostly cause the SP I could just play with plugged in. If it weren't for that I wouldn't be so fond of Verdanturf's bgm.

I personally enjoy GS music..I played it when it first came out with the sound all the way up. ^^

I'm excited to hear the route themes..and the town themes..and..everything else? :'D
I heard just a bit of the desert theme and I can't wait to hear what it really sounds like..

Ehh, I don't really like the music that much. Although I like how it changes when you're at the red zone of HP.

The music in this game sounds like a combination of harvest moon an mario. The rival theme sound almost identical to the battle theme from bowsers inside story.... I LOVE IT :)
