To commemorate the upcoming 4starOrchestra, a quadrennial concert dedicated to video game music, Some folks in Japan received free newspapers with an interview with Game Freak staff responsible for music and sound in Pokémon.
below is a translation for the above pic:
Adachi: When I was told to arrange for ORAS, I was really nervous. A lot of people like Ruby and Sapphire.
Satou: A new game and an upgrade are totally different. In a new game you’re trying to show off the newest stuff in the best way possible. When it comes to remasters, you have to consider memories and feelings that people have about it.
Ichinose: Well, for me, I knew either way that some people weren’t going to like what I did, so I just gave it all I had when writing.
Satou: Oh yeah, in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, you (Ichinose) were going nuts and doing your own little thing with remixes. What I consider the most when rearranging is to not change the key or tempo all too much. Also, I’ve noticed that people can be disappointed when the melody is intact but some phrases in the back are removed.
Other facts about the upcoming ORAS soundtrack:
- Minako Adachi will be taking the lead in remixing for ORAS. In XY, she composed the Team Flare/Lysandre battle theme, among other pieces.
- Adachi says that the bicycle theme took the longest to remix, taking about 2 to 3 weeks. She explains that the concept of the bicycle has changed over the course of 12 years, and she was debating whether to stick with the original concept or go with the more modern concept.
- Masuda checks all the music made in the sound room. He’s seen dancing with the volume high.
- The sound staff aimed to keep what was good about the old music, while showing off some new things. Upgrading from GBA to 3DS, the new remixes will be vibrant and colorful.
Any expectations for ORAS music? I’m personally can’t wait for Route 119!
Honestly, the music always does it for me.
I don’t care about the pokemon most of the time.
If there’s memorable music, I want that first.
Then I’ll worry about the pokemon.
On that note, farewell sexy people (me)!
High School starts tomorrow for me! I’m nervous, anxious, and am about to puke. Not great traits for a Grim Reaper.
I’ll try to be on as much as possible, but if I can’t, you’ll know why. (Just PM me on the chat or something if you want to talk, I get alerts!)
Well, this is it. The start of a new beginning.
(WHY CANT EVERYTHING IN SOUL EATER BE REAL!?!?!? ;((((((( )
I’m gonna make one of those online petitions that go to the white house requesting for you to change your name back to shiny licky.
Yeah Death the Kid just makes you look emo
It’s just a stage XD
It makes him look like a goth bitch
Please do.
I shall sign it.
Because I miss Licki
;~;
My baby
Keep trying.
I took that fool’s soul.
I’ll give you Dicie’s soul if you change your name back, lmao.

Disqus still looks weird for me but at least I know how to manoeuvre it…
You people just don’t understand the perfect symmetry it takes to be me.
You must not know what symmetry is because that avi isn’t.
Oh really now?
– 3 white stripes
– One hair sticking out on the left side
– The middle stand of hair is slightly curling to the right
– The background is not the same, shading and structure wise.
He’s got you there chief
That’s a sensitive issue right now, sir!
THE REKS
THE REKS

>symmetry
>Has three white stripes on only one side of head
Get on my level M8
I know 🙁
I’m trash
A failure
How can I live with these stupid lines?
I deserve to die
I can’t live another day!
I’ll go get Liz and Patty…
If your an expert one symmetry maybe you can examine my firsts
Those are some very unsymmetrical firsts.
What don’t ya take a close look
*Wham*!
I’ve been firsted!
Nice save
If that was the correct spelling for the word that it was meant to be, that’d be disgusting, LMAO.
You dirty b!tch 😉
It’s only disgusting if you want it to be. 😉
Whyyyyyyy…

They better release it on wifi too or I’ll be disappointed. I didn’t think Japan cared about Halloween!
Its just a Shiny Gengar with Sludge Wave
The country that inspired (probably) cosplaying, and you think that they wouldn’t go nuts for Halloween?
It hurts…. ;~;
and gengar and pumpkaboo plushies

I cry a little bit internally when Pokemonepisode.org doesn’t update when there’s new episodes already shown on TV. ;-;
just go to Watchcartoononline.com They update 24/7
Awesome! Thanks! 🙂
they have EVERYTHING
For those who don’t know. Capcom *cough* Crapcom *cough* is working on yet another Fighting-Game. It’s going to be released in an upcoming Famitsu. It might leak early too.
Honestly, Capcom has made too many fighting games. We have a so many Street Fighters and other fighting games from them. It would interesting to see; yet I’m already feeling that it’s going to be lackluster.
Marvel vs Capcom 4: Now actually featuring Megaman? A guy can dream….
They lost Marvel license. But it can be “Capcom All Stars” I guess.
Soul Calibur 6 please?
Bandai makes Soul Calibur…
Chico makes cookies. 🙂
Are they chocolate chip cookies?
They’re not cookies if they’re not!
Ultimate Street Fighter 4…
Super Ultimate Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition HD Turbo 2.5 remix
Coming to PS6 and Xbox Alta. (I just came up with that, I like it).
Apparently Mega Sceptile will be in the anime this September 4…
it says: The brief teaser trailer also revealed that, starting with Pocket Monsters XY #42 on September 4th, 2014, every episode will include a post-episode segment showcasing a Mega evolved Pokémon in order to build excitement for the special. Mega Jukain will be the first such Pokémon to be featured.
What special? I suppose they’re talking about Strongest Mega Evolution 2, I guess? 😀
Really? I wish it was an actual battle…. anyway, are you new here?
Route 119 music ( The one NL is excited for) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WkWaoBgNY
Hoenn hands down had the best route themes.
Unova too lol Unova has some bae <3 routes
They all screamed "Adventure", and they told stories, I love them so much.
Route 113 is my favorite route aesthetic wise, and music wise tho.
I rly lik it
1:00 favorite part lewl
Route 113 is reli prity i luv it <3
Oh my god, I’m having another hype relapse. I forgot to hype for a few weeks. I’m going to replay my childhood game in 3D. AAAAH! Listen to this one too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzlsD8YiVM
I wonder how they’ll do this one in 3ds soundfont XD
Bagpipes and flutes and harps and trumpets… I’m not sure XD
I love 1:00 tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxhG5cP6Obg
You know your music 😉
One of my fave songs ever <3
*gasps* OMG, I love YOU!! I love the Abandoned Ship music! My favorite hangout! I wish there was an option to make a secret base there!! IF ONLY!!
I very rarely listen to gaming music, lol. I’ve been listening to this for the past hour. xD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBntk3w-ExA
*was expecting hoenn route theme* lel

And I’m the direct opposite. Oh well!
kill la kill is the shit
I love Kill la kill!! 😀
I can’t wait for the dub to fully release XD
just to see what its like :3
a few episodes have been released
I no c:
I’ve been procrastinating on watching that. I wanted to watch that and something called Shiki. And finish Black Butler. And Naruto. And Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan. And Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. ._.
You should try a slice of life anime! 😀
There’s too many good ones to watch… and I have four classes that will kill me and risk my chance to relive Hoenn again if I don’t focus on them. ;_;
Oh okay! 😀
But if you plan on watching one, give K-on! a try :3
I liked it.
Ok, but try to remind me. I forget often, and making memos sometimes work…when I remember to check on them. XD
I have to make a 30-60 second commercial for Zinc in my Chemisty class, and I’m going to make it as funny as possible. Little do they know, I have a bit of knowledge on how to make a funny video. As long as I’m allowed to use found footage (aka memes), this will be great. I’ll have to disable comments though, as my class will be seeing it.
*your video*
ZINC COMERCIAL
Djja
Your voice made me moist
Okay, I’ll make comments allowed after I show it 😡
Yay 😀
“Moist cookies.”
– Grandma
1. Include a reference to the stat-boosting qualities of Zinc from Pokémon
2. See who catches the reference
3. Befriend them
4. Become besties
5. ???
6. No more angst because you have a bestie who likes Pokémon
If only it was that easy… :,(
That’s it. I have a $100 stashed somewhere, and I’m going to use it to buy at LEAST AlphaSapphire!!
YAy!!!! 😀
I have no shame. I’m feeding my inner child.
Scratch that, I didn’t do the math right b/c I forgot about my mom helping me with my tuition. I don’t need my secret 100 for I have enough to pay my credit card next month (if I make no more purchases), AND still buy AlphaSapphire AND still have some money left over! *Istillhopeforthatextragranttocomethroughthough*
I know I said I will go away until November, *sobs* but I can’t stay away. D’:
Stay
I really should read the adventures manga because I feel like I’ve been missing out
http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110908062131/pokemon/images/0/09/Flannery_and_Sapphire_drowning.png
I don’t know if I like where this is going or not….
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)It goes where they take it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
ᕦ( ͡°╭͜ʖ╮͡° )ᕤ oh bby
(╯°□°)╯︵ ʞooqǝɔɐɟ
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
So did you give K-on another try? :3
Although it’s a slice of life, it’s a darn good one ;3
Not yet. XD I’ve got a bunch of animes on my backlist. Tell ya what, I’ll start it after I get through episode ten of Fist of the North star.
Yay!!! :DDDD
Watch Lucky Star first before K-On. Because K-On will make Lucky Star seem boring (but I love Lucky Star).
Hmm true
Sapphire definitely lives.
Flannery maybe…
It’s super effective. ( ͡°╭͜ʖ╮͡° )
Cement shoes?
booty shoes
I think I want to incorporate the Rick-Roll into my commercial somehow. I’ve always wanted to do that.
You: “Today I’d like to tell you about Zi-” *cue rick roll*
With Zinc, you should never- *cue Rick Roll*
Take lessons of #tr0ll editing fro this video

I saw this video already m8
The starter Gender ratio is evil and sexist
We should complain about it on tumblr!
And Eevee, and Togepi too. 🙁
Omg, this remix… I could imagine being under water, at night, full moon shining brightly to penetrate to cold abyss surrounding the decrepit old vessel, sitting silently as the water sings its nightly lullaby as it slowly creaks and rocks to a deep, blue… sleep… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7s18S4ZNk0
Where am I you ask? I look above from deep within the sea, beyond the blue water boundary to see the Moon, her luminous face glowing bright down at me, a brilliant light piercing the water’s calm, hypnotic moving surface, beckoning me to Dive deeper to where hidden treasures lay untold…
I’m sorry if I make no dahm sense, I need sleep.
HOW IS EVERYONE!!! IVE BEEN AWAY due to school!! it is so hard to keep up with everything and working 40 hrs a week. I’m giving it my best effort 🙂
JP!!!! 😀
hi!!! its been centuries, so any mega news on our pokemon yet?
Sadly, no. They’re still hiding it. 🙁
like i said, the best is for last!!
I’m still twerkin’
and 40 HOURS?! You must be an adult. I’ll be there soon though T_T
im 22 so yeah lol! but ill be forever 21!!!
Ewww responsibility *crashes into the sun* YOLOOOO
its better to learn them right now then to wait when you’re older. ppl will have to push you, to make you get things done etc. etc… … ill advice you to start now that way ill save you the embarrassment
Hey! I’m only kidding. I work 20 hours a week and I have an undisclosed amount of money (over $3000) saved
thats good!! see , you’re learning you’re responsibilities, now learn to spend well and you will be set until you enter college and go broke XD!
Nyehh, you’re two years older than me. I wish I had a job, but balancing that with a full-time student schedule will be HARD af!
girl! I’m taking 5 classes
and I’m in medical school, a regular student has 4 not 5, I’m way over exceeding my limits
I wish I could balance that. ;_;
right now I’m at the edge of just working less and focus on my classes. I’m behind on some classes because i haven’t received my txt books which i order online 6 days ago! 🙁 with out them I’m useless (not completely because i have back ups, but still, the struggle! )
The struggle is real. I don’t have my all textbooks too. And my financial aid is spent. None left for disbursement.

My cards are selling quicker than I thought. Should I sell the new Furious Fist packs or the original XY base next? I have one vote on fists.
Fists.
Isn’t it the first XY expansion to feature DEDENNE?
I think you mean King DEDEDE
Dunno. I just try to get people deals.
You should send me a Milotic card.
If I get an extra in my personal collection I may think about it.
I hope you get an extra then! xD
Too bad I haven’t seriously started collected flash fire in that case. XD
When I first started twitter Twitter referred me to all you guys… is that normal?
Maybe you added a couple and it’s basing on shared watchers.
On the other hand, I only get League of Legends-related refers. 😀

Howdy ho! How’s it going? This is good news to read! Minako Adachi will be taking the lead? I look forward to hearing more Megaman NT Warrior like beats!! :’)

BEST COMMERCIAL EVER
do they respawn XD
For me, the soundtrack aspect of the games isn’t all that important for me. I might be heard humming the occasional route if it’s catchy but otherwise, I’m not that bothered
Oh god, I just realzied cause I’m maining Omega Ruby, I have to deal with remastered drought themes 0-0
my ears
Good luck with that
thanks XD
I just notice inside the giant sootopoliss white rock that now the city has walkways across the water almost like pacifidlog
stop noticing stuff and go to school
i have school starting tommorow.
Also in the abadoned ship the three circular things at the top looks like reminiscent to the three structres combined in the power plant of kalos…… odd
