Pokemon has had some really great theme music over the years, and some not so great.
Which is/are the most memorable to you? Why?
Try to provide a link to the theme if someone hasn't already (most can easily be found on youtube). Also, embedding would be preferred since the thread will load faster for all users.
The original Lavender Town theme (R/G/B/Y).
From the first time I exited the rock tunnel and beat the first few hikers outside in Red, I loved this song. The beta is even better. It sounds eerie in a way the pokemon franchise hasn't gone since, it fits the story perfectly made me anxious when I was a kid. It's also the first time in-game that Pokemon takes a break from being cute and is a little darker.
Pyrite Town (Pokemon Colosseum).
That bass tho. Goes well with the seedy atmosphere of the city, and pretty catchy too. The fact that you have to go back to Pyrite Town so often is made less annoying because of this theme. Colosseum actually has a great OST, can't wait til they make another Orre game.
Giratina's battle theme (Pokemon Platinum).
This one is easy for me. Platinum is among the best in the franchise story-wise imo, and Giratina's battle has a better build-up than any other box legend. The drop in the intro and speed / volume changes really augment the battle. It's unlikely, but if they ever do remake D/P/PT I hope they use the Platinum story or at least bring back this theme.
