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!
So probably a week later we will get the full 100% confirmed smash Roster
After it comes out
Unless sum #nrd decides to stay up all night jacking off and playing ssb 4
Driving test tomorrow, my 4th attempt please please wish me luck and that I pass. X
Remember, seat belt as soon as you get in the car, don’t hit the curb, and two hands on the wheel
Thanks man 🙂
Alright Seat belt as loose as humanly possible after 10 mins of entering the car and one hand on the wheel and the other holding a cellphone
oh and challenge the diving instructors authority 83% of the time and always go 10 above the speed limit to show other drivers how badass you are
Make sure you are drinking (Caprisons) while driving
i’d rather go with absinthe
I failed my first driving test because I didn’t go into the right turn lane to leave the testing facility, lol.Good luck, don’t be nervous!
Cheers man 🙂
So how would you unlock characters in ssb4 if theres no subspace emmisary?
missions like in melee?
Or just the amount of battles you play?
Or CLASSIC MOMFVLKBJENVafks ;
the last 3
CLASSIC MOMFVLKBJENVafks ; I HOPE
there is classic mode :/
I mean unlock them by completing Classic mode over and over lol, get to challenge them each time
oh ok XD
Then you have to do Classic Mode with Certain people
Then you have to do adventure mode in a certain time Blah Blah
I Like Classic Mode :>
It is so fun
I WISH ADVENTURE MODE WOULD COME BACK
Most likely Wii u will have it
I thought sakurai specifically said no adventure mode
Yeah ._.
Which makes -7 sense
he said he will make one like melee
It’s the stupidest thing I loved the SSE
yea but it took awhile the battling and online Sakurai Admitted it
Probably like Melee that will have different Methods for each player
OMG #ONLINE COOP CLASSIC MODE
HOLY SHIT I WAS JUST HATCHING LEFTOVER MAREEP AND I FOUND A SHINY HOLY GOD
Thats Incredible XD
Congratz
THANK YOU! xD
Lol Now you have a Love Ball shiny Mareep
OMG! CONGRATS ;~:
Thanks ;~;
OMFGGGGG HP ICE TOO
Wow the Luck is Real!!
I needed this after my failed Eevee ;~; I was breeding HP Ice on it, and it hatched Shiny, but it had HP Dragon instead ;~; Boomer was ONE IV point from being Shiny ;~;
wait what ivs dont affect it being shiny
Nono, I meant I was breeding HP Ice on to a Jolteon, and when breeding, I hatched a Shiny one, and that Shiny one was ONE IV away from being HP Ice
oh cause you said boomer was one iv point from being shiny XD
That Eevee would’ve been Boomer before Boomer was born if it just had ONE IV point up or down ;~;
;~; And I’m sitting here trying to get a winning record against you in MK8 ;~;
Grrrrrrrr now i gotta do that to show him i mean business
Teach you to fire hop!
What? I already know how.
No, i’m saying he’s only that fast because he fire hops
I was fast before too lol
Bull crap, you Fire Hop all the time
I didn’t know about Fire Hopping when the game came out ._. Rocket posted a video well after I had completed everything. And Fire Hopping doesn’t guarantee shit lol, NL beats me, and he doesn’t Fire Hop. In the end it boils down to skill, of which you have some learning to do still. I cut corners MUCH closer than you.
Alright fair enough, but it doesn’t mean i don’t have years of skill under my belt
Oh you certainly do. You’re a really great racer! But like all of us, we’re always learning more
I fire hop on my inward drifting bike to get those extra few seconds too 🙂
Bikes can fire hop 😮 I thought only karts could xD AM I LIVING A LIE
Inward drifting bikes can’t fire hop, thus my comment(outwards can)
DOH LMAO
Outwards bikes can fire hop though. Seems to be the advantage of using a outward bike, but it’s really hard to use imo
I LOVE outside drifting xD If you saw me inside drift, you’d laugh so much omg. The amount of walls and falls would be insane!
I use outward bikes all the time and i drif so sweet
CONGRATS ILY HOENN
HOENN=/=MAREEP
BUT MOM
Um Excuse me Mareep can be Caught in Pokemon Emerald!
THANK YOU ILY HOENN
31/0/30/31/23/31 :’D
THE LUCK IS REAL!
Amazing job!
Thank you!!! 🙂 I was secretly hoping I’d find one too, and last batch, holy cow O_O
if mewtwo is back
20 of VS mode should be his unlock way again XD
VS
Voltsonic confirmed
YES finally got diqus to work!!! So… was I the only one who though Tyranitar Tube was a girl….
he is a girl on the inside
XD seriously though. I had a mental picture then when I saw him on the youtube silver play button thing video, that picture shattered
You never accepted mah Wii U Friend Request so it went away 🙁
You sent me a request? sorry, I havn’t played my wii U in a while. School and breeding on X along with playing black 2 XD
I thought TT sounded like a pastey white nerd….. oh wait, that’s me.
Mega audino is perfect for you…..
I aint that pale. XD
The dude is like 16-17 now. Yet, he still sounds like a little gurl. lel.

“…and beyond!” Battle Frontier anyone? Here’s the lonk to buy it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1101898208/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1101898208&linkCode=as2&tag=nintendoeverything-20&linkId=S4VDRCS624N5YXCK
yes :3
Buzz Lightyear confirmed for smash
I NEED THE BATTLE FRONTIER
AFARR GIVE ME THE BF
Ohhhh the Official Strategy Guide the thing you wanna buy but you don’t want to be spoiled
and they always rope you in for the 20 bucks
Honestly. I don’t care about spoilers. GameFaqs usually gets the guide and releases walkthrough. I’m not worried.
Well yes, in terms or Pokemon items and locations i don’t care but if they spoil the story then i get upset
Like when me and my Brother got our first Zelda Game (Twilight Princess) and the book, i spoiled one of the best bosses for us by reading ahead
aka Blizzeta
Spoilers have never been a problem for me. I don’t care if I get spoiled or not. I’m going to play the game sooner or later. So, I really don’t mind!
I don’t like get spoiled wither
Thats Why I am leaving PJN in November
I haven’t bought a strategy book since Sinnoh
And it really wasn’t a strategy book, It was more a Pokedex book with all the pokemon and their level up moves and such and some things in the back
serebii is my guide book
Truuuu
and beyond, huh?
Space Confirmed.
448 pages. #448 is Lucario (sinnoh pokemon, sinnoh confirmed?). Lucario is a fighter in Pokken Tournament. Does ORAS have something to do with Pokken Tournament? Illuminati
37 more pages than xy
deifnately battle frontier
So after playing Earthbound for one day, i gotta say its not as bad i thought (i’m referring to the battles)
Took me a while to beat the frank guy but i dids it
the beginning is the slowest part, good luck.
But that’s how the most cherished of Video game Memories begin
you start out completely new and you have the slightest idea where to go or what to do, while scouring the area multiple times to find a clue
but that time you spent exploring will always be with you and soon you get a hang of it
Who Is gonna Complete their ORAS Pokedex???
Me!!!
me!
Not me. I never complete the PokeDex. It’s too much work. #Underachieving.
I have Completed My Black and X
The only reason I complete my Pokedex is for the Oval/ Shiny Charm
I guess I really wanted to in Black
I still have to complete my X pokedex ;~; ( I caught 607 pokemon)
well i kinda have the national dex in bank so me :3
I will!!!!, but then i’ll get bored and forget about it!
I’m gonna complete it in literally 20 seconds LOLOL
How?
Oh you were joking XD
I have a living National Dex in Bank xD
Srsly? Wow
Will you be willing to help the unfortunate with out Pokebank
Of course xD But they need to be considerate and able to do it on my own time xD I don’t have as much free time anymore ;~;
It’s Okay I can probably Get Pokebank soon I just need to find a 3DS card
DDDDD: You will trade with me…right? :3
Mayyyyyyybe 😡
If you will,I will buy you food 😡
I only accept Wendys
Deal! 😡
same XD
Me :3
Not me. 😛
I saw a conversation about fire hopping: Iirc, you can’t fire hop on Sport Bike and that’s it.
Also I can’t wait for Hoenn and Smashes <3

Lasgorndalf
Welp, looks like i’ll be buying that ORAS strategy guide simply for the pull-out poster XD
I buy the pokemon guides as simple collectables anyway.
My mom bought me the D/P guide about a week ago from a flea market lol. In perfect condition
Why can’t ORAS just come out already.
The fact its already a finished product is KILLING me.
I know right. Anyone up for a raid on GF headquarters?
Wait, I havent been following the news much, so its already finished? Why are they holding it back?
Of course it’s already finished. They probably spend the last few months advertising and double checking for bugs and making minor changes if needed.
Oh really? I thought they only spent about a month bug testing. But then again, I keep forgetting its already september.
I really don’t know how game companies work. I always assume they set aside 2-3 months to make sure everythings in working order before release.
Shulk HYPE! (Sorry I’m late I haven’t been on in a while.)

That moment when you realize that a few years ago, I played a kirby game on a playstation at a dentist appointment. (It was there so that when kids were done they could play.) True story. IDK how.
Kirby
on playstation
MY LIFE IS OVER
Except I looked into it, and it doesn’t exist. Not even a hack. So I don’t know how it happened.
The dentist’s mom’s uncle’s brother’s stepson’s grandson’s dad’s mom’s uncle’s brother’s stepson’s grandson’s dad’s mom’s uncle’s brother’s stepson’s grandson’s dad’s mom’s uncle’s brother’s stepson’s grandson’s dad works for Sony and Nintendo.
Duh
MY LIFE IS OVER
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/2138129/my-life-is-over-o.gif

Human logic: (bad) X
“If it gets good ratings, it’s overrated.”
“It’s different so I don’t like it” @ every time nintendo innovates on a product
” Not Mom”
Djja logic (good) √
“Hoenn”
“Mom”
“Bear”
“May is bae”
People Logic is retarded.
Internet People logic is even more retarded.
djja logic is ummm idk MOM
Djja logic Is pretty MOM to be fair
Troo moo
This is why people hate Frozen. 🙁
Honestly I don’t like Frozen because it seemed generic to me, not because it’s “overrated”, like other people think.
No.
Frozen is great, I always said that. Before it was considered “overrated”. You clearly were pushed by the common opinion, but I don’t let myself be influenced by that. D:
Do you still want daisy in smash?
