Love what pu_freak does. This and the Clash of the Titans ReMix from the Missingno album are some of my favourite pokemon ReMixes.

I really loved that piano at the beginning, interesting take on the source, really enjoyed it =)
Great work!

The arrangement here really is spot on. It's so very departed from the heroic, self-satisfied gym theme. It's just brilliantly done.

i love it!! i absolutely adore the transitions in emotion, from the "entering the abandoned gym" (0:00) to the "realization at what you're looking at" (crescendo at 1:02) to the "dejection at what's past" (around 2:30) an finishing off with the "sad reflection of the happy memories" (shift at 3:5!!! excellent work

Excellent piece pu_freak. I would say that the tone of the piece does not match the title of the piece. When I think of Abandoned, the sound of the wind's howl in the desert comes to mind. This is a pleasent piece indeed, but I don't feel a sense of abandonment coming from it. Then again, that's just me

I wasn't too comfortable in the beginning, but everything else eroded any doubts that this was an amazing remix! GREAT JOB!

It sounds like some horrible event took place in a town, all the pokemon gone or dead. and a trainer is walking round the ruins of a gym, maybe where he won his first badge, maybe his last, maybe the one he was heading to before whatever the tragic event took place. I can see him walking up to different places, like a shattered boulder where maybe his raichu got thrown against with such a force it broke, or a crater where his sandslash dug under his enemy and got a 1 hit KO, bringing the match back to a tie. Then when the kalimba comes in, I can see the trainer coming across one of his own pokeballs in the dust, opened and empty, nothing left of his friend that used to be kept inside, then leaving it while the "camera" remains on the pokeball, gleaming in the last light of the sun.

I'm not too excited by the intro, seems a little out of place, but it doesn't ruin the piece in any way for me. The arrangement is beautiful, and it creates a story, makes you remember all those moments with the pokemon you spent so much time raising, the things the game stands for. And what I like best about this arrangement, and what I look for most in ANY arrangement, is that it takes a familiar piece of music and makes you think of it in a completely new way. The next time I enter a gym in a pokemon game I will remember this track.

I disagree, I think the title fits perfectly! This is a really nice, emotional piece of music.
