* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgYzRc4ZmBY&hd=1 Credits theme]] is amazing.

** Even better, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAkxCYPfRsg&feature=mh_lolz&list=FLyK9x0dP9nLK3Yt1ZuASIAQ Using the Soundfont]] from MOTHER3 for the song. Its as beautiful and as [[TearJerker Heartrending]] as it sounds.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMmwi8rDIF0 Surfing Theme]], which reminds many players of {{Mother 3}}.

** There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSP_XkifFZw this excellent remix]] that uses ''[[PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold/SoulSilver]]'' soundfonts. Could've been a great EasterEgg remix for the battle versus Blue for the Earth Badge in Viridian City Gym.

** ''[[PokemonRedAndBlue FireRed and LeafGreen]]'' brought about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcsOSKBZOgA their own great remix]].

* ''[[PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl[='s=]]]'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnIzcjwQ8qU title theme]] is great, too, although it plays more during the introduction ''video'' rather than on the title screen itself.

* ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' only has an extremely specific appeal to enthusiasts of ''PokemonDiamondAndPearl''[='s=] battle system, and hardly scored well or was successful. Which is why it's almost a shame [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY_mF_6okNU that]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97_dEmhWfnI&feature=related it]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhGufCd4sbU has]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq88wQfI8nw such]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e21XC2azWo&feature=related incredible]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et46PWOwa-Q&feature=related music]], most of all [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV23yvM5J_0 Pokétopia Master Mysterial's battle theme]] as the final battle.

** Let's just put it this way: a few years later those three composers worked with [[AwesomeMusic/SuperMarioBros Koji Kondo]] on ''[[CrowningMusic/TheLegendOfZelda Wind Waker]]'''s soundtrack. Yeah!

* Stadium 1's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DhsxBHAJVU&feature=related The Prime Cup]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7vcxoXN1lg Poke Cup Finals]] (Semifinals in the Master Ball category
* ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' only has an extremely specific appeal to enthusiasts of D/P's battle system, and hardly scored well or was successful. Which is why it's almost a shame [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY_mF_6okNU that]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97_dEmhWfnI&feature=related it]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhGufCd4sbU has]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq88wQfI8nw such]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e21XC2azWo&feature=related incredible]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et46PWOwa-Q&feature=related music]], most of all [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV23yvM5J_0 Mysterial's battle theme]] as the final battle.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL5nGw8Yg2I#t=0m37s This part]] of Sashay's theme sounds ''extremely'' similar to part of the Cipher admin battle theme from ''Pokémon Colosseum''. Justified, as Genius Sonority worked on both games.
*** Joe's super awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ats7Arh3yfg Jazz theme]].

* [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_HnHGevlU8g The]] trainer battle music.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLIF66XLL8Y Gold, Silver and Crystal]]'' have a remix of said theme for Kanto trainers, as does [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3o5-Ny4eU0 FireRed and LeafGreen]]. Finally, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pozVn_rUFFU HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' has a version that combines the ''G/S/C'' mix with the ''FR/LG'' one.

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Y3zgWiGHY Regis' theme]] gets an upgrade in ''Platinum''.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Vq0Fmz46s Flood]] is excellent for the situation, tense and ominous. Its ''Ruby'' counterpart, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxwfl_-P2gI Drought]], while still awesome, is merely NightmareFuel.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s8IAxtFhE0 The Sealed Chamber]]

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGRNoJQkP5I Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal Battle Theme medley]] from ''SuperSmashBros Melee/Brawl''. Behold the sheer ''awesomeness'' of it.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MD5asp6v8k Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl's Pokémon G/S/C Battle Medley]].

* The Gym Leader victory theme in every Pokémon game is super-happy, but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjNJWiqeHdk its Gen III rendition]] is probably the best of all of them; it actually makes you feel like you've accomplished something. Bask in your victory!

** And yet [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-rs-bRdnYA another amazing fan mix]] from the Japanese hack, Pokemon Golden Sun (a hack of the FireRed and LeafGreen games).

** The champion's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-NylYukMv4 battle]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mcTV77e1TY encounter theme]].
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XU5HA85pbg The utterly awesome official remix]] is called after Steven Stone. The beeping and Pokémon cries are all taken from the final battle against him.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4_tiCzlGGM Archie and Maxie]] Battles are underappreciated.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRIpS2h8QM The Battle Frontier theme]]. Particularly the opening few notes. The whole thing just screams "triumphant."

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFU8mrXb9LY Abandoned Ship]] had some great music. [[WastedSong Sad, considering the place was never really plot important.]]

* With the huge leap in sound quality on the Game Boy Advance, ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' pull no punches; the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im6tbN9SZXs first]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ5HREsFcUg two]] towns' themes are so... serene and soft, and yet brilliantly catchy.

* One [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyyis1fasd0 kickass surf song]] coming right up.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMavg1Y6wBg Mt.Pyre/Shoal Cave/Power Plant theme]]. A tune which provides just the right mix of ambience and adventure to suit it's locations, and is criminally underestimated when people talk about the best music of the series. It has no official title, so I'm naming it "The Ancient Lands".

** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-rs-bRdnYA another amazing fan mix]] from the Japanese hack, Pokemon Golden Sun (a hack of the FireRed/LeafGreen games).

** No mention of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFc2q6hk770 HG/SS remix]]? The piano...
