Top 3 favourite pokemon song?

That's it, what's your favourite pokemon song? Ruote 1? Olivine city? (Remixes included)

I love this one, from TCG 2 (never released outside Japan), it's so sexy.

First place:

Last but not least: Mewtwo's theme for the 3th place. It's so "Mewtwo"

3: The music from the Dark Cave in GSC. I remembered that one for years after I stopped playing. I also like this remix of it: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/232567

2: This A capella cover of several pokemon themes: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/250152
It's not the greatest, but it is bloody hilarious. Be warned though, it's A Capella - some people like it, some people consider it ear rape.

1: The Lance Battle Music from GSC. It's easily the most memorable music from the games that I know of, and it's really epic... well, as epic as music can get on the GBC. I also quite like this remix of it: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/236345
 
All of the music from Colo/XD gale of darkness is really good. All the towns and everything really set a good atmosphere.

My favorite from XD is probably the first bad guy's headquarters (they get piano, trumpet, violin, flute, bass everything going in some of these)
1. Shadow Lab (jam out!)
2. Agate Village (very nice with the scenery waterfalls and such) and Pyrite Town (Jazzy)
3. Outskirt Stand (I'm a sucker for harmonica)
Dr. Kaminko's Manor (love the flute)
The Under (coolest place in the whole game)

From the regular games all of the classics of course from each town in R/B/Y and GSC I will never forget

My favorite from D/P is probably route 219
I whistle it to myself all the time

This guy has almost every pokemon game track uploaded. If you remember one you liked you can probably search through his stuff and find it.
 
3. Main battle theme from GSC
2. Pokemon Lab Theme from GSC
1. Bicycle Theme from GSC

GSC really did have the best music :D
 
Have to say Professor Oak's lab music is permimprinted into my mind. I have a feeling I'll remember that music no matter how old I get.

Lavender Town's music is the best place/music combination out of them all, imo. It always sticks out when I thik of Pokemon music.
 
I think the Go-Rock Quads theme is up there for me
and their battle theme is cool too
Otherwise, I like basically most of the music
 
All of the music from Colo/XD gale of darkness is really good. All the towns and everything really set a good atmosphere.
Personally, I find XD's music to be worse than Colosseum's... The themes in XD were too short, and looped to early for my taste. Though Miror B's battle theme was great :)

Anyway, I have too many favourites to pick three, so I'll split them into categories and pick three from each.

Overworld themes:
Gold and Silver - Dark Cave
The best cave music, in my opinion. Long and memorable :)
Diamond and Pearl - Canalave City
Nice and calm; probably my favourite from D/P.
Gold and Silver - Route 38
To me, this sums up Johto's character in a single song.

Wild battle themes:
FireRed and LeafGreen - Deoxys Battle
Pretty funky; it's the perfect song for a rare event Pokémon.
Diamond and Pearl - Uxie/Azelf/Mesprit Battle
One of the best battle musics ever. It's cool how it incorporates their theme (the song played in the lake caverns).
Platinum - Giratina Battle
You can tell that a whole lot of effort went into this. It suits Giratina and the Distortion World perfectly.

Trainer battle themes:
Emerald - Frontier Brain Battle
This was remixed in Platinum, but I like the original best. It's actually a remix of the main Battle Frontier theme, which makes it even more epic.
Red and Blue - Gym Leader Battle
How can anyone forget this? It's really tense and and action-packed.
Gold and Silver - Trainer Battle
Pokémon trainer music at its prime. That's all.

Non-main series games:
Quoting for great justice. This has the epic feeling that the actual final battle music lacks. I remember reaching 90 at Mt. Battle, hearing this, and thinking, 'this is it'.
Battle Revolution - Final Battle
A remix of the Gateway Colosseum theme (the first colosseum you enter in the game), as well as the main theme. It makes you think how you've gone full-circle; from being a new challenger, to defeating the Pokétopia Master.
Ranger: Shadows of Almia - Field Theme
Unfortunately, I couldn't find this one on YouTube. It's the only song played on routes in the game (other than during missions), so it's helpful that it's a good song. It has three distinct parts; listen to it all the way through if you ever play the game.

And that's it.
 
Most of the music I love in pokemon come from the G/S series. I think this is a top 3 that can work for me for now.

1: G/S/C Battle vs. Lance and Red. It was the perfect music to get me pumped for the two most important battles in those games.

2: Crystal Legendary Beasts theme. I love it in Crystal when you are casually walking in the grass, then this music just suddenly hits you, and you smile, knowing what you are about to face, lol. Plus, it's awesome music while battling Suicune.

3: D/P/P Cynthia battle theme. It has a killer bass!!
 
The Legendary Beasts music is especially epic the first time you hear it, when you DON'T know what's happening. Then suddenly HOLY CRAP IT'S ENTEI!
 
Does the music from the various CDs count? If so, then "Brother, My Brother" is my #1 favorite Pokemon song by far. <3 that song. ;_;

Second place is definitely the G/S/C Champion/Red battle music. I hope the HG/SS version is just as good...

Not sure what's my third fav. I really like both Cyrus's battle music and DPPt's rival music quite a bit. The Battle Frontier Brains music is very catchy too, though.
 
Battle Revolution - Final Battle
A remix of the Gateway Colosseum theme (the first colosseum you enter in the game), as well as the main theme. It makes you think how you've gone full-circle; from being a new challenger, to defeating the Pokétopia Master.
This. A million times this. Interestingly, I've noticed from videos that tournaments that use PBR use special versions with this music for the battles.

One AWESOME tune that doesn't seem to actually exist in the anime soundtracks is the remixed Kanto trainer battle music. The only way I could find it on YouTube was looking for a battle which used it, that battle being Charizard vs Magmar (also used for Meowth vs Onix and Gary vs Giovanni. Yes, I'm a sad nerd for remembering this). Compare it to the regular version. The remixed one is way more epic.

I'd list more of the ones I like, but my post would probably be huge. I'll just list a few that havan't been mentioned yet.
  • Pokemon XD's "Boss" music, as well as Vs Greevil
  • Colosseum's final battle music
  • Darkrai's theme from its movie (yes, another anime one. It's good though)
  • Special mention for the Pokemon Puzzle League soundtrack, which features a lot of songs from the 2BA Master CD but watered down to work as background music.
I apologise for 1. posting more than three and 2. posting music from the anime.

In the words of Mills Lane "I'll allow it!!"

By the way, that song is done by Blessed Union of Souls, which is one of my all time favorite bands. Back when I was in 11th grade, I played this song to my friends, and they knew who that group was, and all were fans. When I told them the song came from the Pokemon soundtrack, they were floored, lol!
 
For Me:

1. Lance/Red Battle GSC
2. Final Battle R/B/Y
3. Cynthia's battle music DPP

Yes, the Final battle music in Pokemon is oddly Good. I would give other songs a mention, but there are too many of them to decide which.
