I always forget that. She always seems a lot older in the games in anime. Like a lot older. I think it'd be funny still, cause it wouldn't be a serious love song of course . I wouldn't be able to do that without laughing at myself. But forget it anyways since that'll just go off-topic.. That idea of her singing about being in love would only make sense by the second game when she has a boyfriend or something there. Still it could be done in a better fashion anyways. The anime gave her a tough personality so she probably wouldn't sing about something so cheesy.

Ok, so I guess that idea wouldn't work. Though that still leaves a lot of room for creativity. Most of the gym leaders had pretty distinct personalities. Really wanna do this now. : D

Just had an idea... my first real crush as a kid was on Misty from the show... and it totally makes me wanna do a love song from Cerulean City. For fun. I'm very good with words (and poetry according to a literature professor who I don't know... long story), so lyrics are no problem. It's just arranging anything from the original Pokemon games seems like a big challenge. Do the lyrics have to like epic battle songs about the gym leaders? If so then I can think of something else.

Nope, not true. Had my 3DS for a while now, as long as you haven't registered the 3DS or the game to Nintendo Club you are eligible for the promo. Just got my download copy of X. Wasn't really going to get into Pokemon this gen (didn't do it for b/w either), but since it's free I don't see why not. Now I just have to go get a bigger SD card because the default 2GB one isn't big enough.

So is killing off your opponent a legitimate strategy? And is too late to do on a Saturday?

no brandon strader bullying! or else i'll be forced to do something. and when i say something, i mean something. you know. something.

I think the good thing about this idea is that the songs are practically begging to be sung anyways. Maybe not note for note but they would make some dang good happy vocal arrangements (I think a lot of Japanese arrangers do this anyways).

I wanna do this, Slateport city is my favorite song out of all of them. edit: i dunno if i could do this though, with a lot of other stuff going on. i'll just post back later.

i think you should do whatever the heck sounds good flexstyle. in this case the wubbles were awesome. i think this track was one of my favorites to come out of this compo (2012 included) so far. loved it.

If I ever do revist Ice, I might just drop the Chemical Plant idea altogether and just go with ice cap. Seems like it'd work really well. edit: HOLY SNAP! Y'all KILLED it this round. Loving these mixes.

I think I'm about to turn in something. A WIP : D Totally been stressing on it, and it may seem clunky (like a bunch of ideas pasted together) but it's something.. I don't think it'll win but it's better than nothin, : D These compos are really hard. Serious props to everyone who is able to pull out good stuff every other week with the same exact source. I'm usually decent at arranging stuff but this just compo just stressed me out lol (or at least this particular song did) Hope y'all will like what I do have. can't wait to hear everyone else's btw.. and maybe i'll get a chance to listen to this weeks stuff too.

If that picture he posted is any indication then yes. I am gonna do the best I can, I usually do. Just wanna do something I know I'm pretty good at instead of experimenting too much. That usually takes more time to do (which I don't have) and stuff like that doesn't end up being as good as what I know. thanks for the advice. i'm really trying hard to bring something y'all like. unique, too.

Ok, so I just scrapped what I'd been thinking on this week altogether. I figure to win, I'm gonna have to do something completely different from my opponent, so I'm staying away from any electronic or complex instrumentation this week and relying completely on arrangement to win this one. It'll probably be a lot easier to do this too (so I'm hoping to have a more completely song for y'all). Here's hoping.

well things have been a complete wreck this week, really haven't even gotten to start on my project yet, or listen to any of the songs. but i'm still gonna try to turn in something good. or at least a kick-ass WIP.

Basically this.

Sorry for not voting in time y'all. A lot of things just popped up and I wasn't able to get to it.. Fortunately I have a little more downtime this week than I thought, so I'll hopefully be able to get a good song done by the end of the week. I'm gonna start as soon as the matchups are posted, hope you guys enjoy a different style this week!

I do remix new VGM. It's very fun. It's actually easier to IMO.

I would like to be a part of this. For credential you can check out "Broken Wings" remix I collabed on with Flexstyle. He did most of the production, but I feel like I can reach that same level with some good effort. I'd like to do a much much more ambient, atmospheric style of song, like something you'd hear in the Silent Hill games. (of course, staying in your criteria) I do like snatcher a lot, I only really watched an LP of it, but I loved the music and would love to be able to make something kind of dark and ambient to celebrate it's uniqueness. I'm going to listen to the soundtrack and try to find the song I want to to do tomorrow and hopefully start something after a while (Going to be extremely busy for the next 2 weeks so it'll probably be sometime in March). Should I go ahead and claim the track or just send you a WIP when something is started?

thanks for the reviews everyone. i might update this track so that the piano parts sound a little more full (especially in parts like 1:20-1:30 and 2:07-2:23) but i was pretty happy with in general. if i do i'll post it here with the same tagging since i probably won't sub it.

Yaaay. i'm excited to hear it. : D

just as a disclaimer or whatever, my tracks borrows from twenty one pilots a bit, and i kind of even took a synth part from one of their songs "semi-automatic" and implemented it into mine. it was an accident at first, but i realized it worked well and just kept it in. it was small but just wanted to make sure people knew. edit: blackpanther huuuurrrryyy!!!!!!!!!! i need a matchup!!!!!

I haven't been able to listen to the songs as much as I'd like this week so I'mma force myself to write a few reviews down. ladywilfire: killer stuff. i could kind of relax to this because it has a cool atmosphere. i still don't think i'll ever understand why electronic producers mix vocals to where you can't understand them, but I don't ever complain when radiohead does so i guess it's stylistic. i just feel like you have a really nice voice and it's get buried in the song. that high hat/shaker/whatever is way bright. it's ok though i just had to turn it down a bit. other than that, yeah, i enjoy this and look forward to hearing more. Jason Covenant: i look forward to a finished product, it was catchy and i see the potential all over this one. autotone sounds good, and towards the end i like the way your voice and the synth do a call and answer thing. very good. halc: the vocals seem loud. i feel like they could be mixed a little better into the music but it's ok. i'm really happy you are doing vocals. i always wanted your music to have vocals in front of it for some reason. they're like catchy radio tunes. the flow is nice too. everything else is mixed well and it the song itself is enjoyable. good job. Disambiguity: the lead was a little weak. i don't think you were going for a very powerful song, but with some drums this could be a really strong track. you mix the two sources well so credits to the arrangement. i hope you keep making more. Helicopter Knife Fight: my favorite vocal track so far. i like it a lot. the drums were sick and i like the synth work here. not much to say really, it's a really enjoyable track. DJ Max-E: i like how you take this track to different places. it changes up atmosphere a lot. the breakdown in the middle was pretty cool. very cool synth work here. it's R2D2 making beats. i liked it. unique arrangement too. it's kind of trippy and i like that. Xenonetix: another trippy song. these two sources are crazy. the mixing is a little off. don't be afraid to use more stereo separation. on headphones it can make stuff like this sound really good. the ending was nice and chill too. synth choices meld together very well even though they aren't super crazy or jump out at you. good job. Ivan Hakstok: for some reason the only two azure lake remixes i've heard have guitar. the performance is what really sold me here. when the synth came in, i was kind of like "no, keep playing!!" i'm gonna echo what someone else said saying that bass sound coming in at the end was kind of weird. nice job regardless - keep rockin on! Ryan Jobson: super catchy stuff here. nice pacing and changeups. the song felt very well structured and the two sources melded together well. i like the sound choices, it sounds like it could be in the next sonic game. nice job, keep it up! Amphibious: i like this here song. very nice drum work, makes me want to play it! it's very jazzy and that's never a bad thing. the synth work on top was cool, but once the rhodes section came in at 1:50 i was sold. super sexy stuff here. and thanks for singing into my ear like that, i enjoyed it : D nothing bad to say, super sick! Cash: Not sure how I feel about that lead synth. it works in context of the song though. i guess it's just not the type of stuff i usually hear. not a bad thing, it's unique. more drum variation would help this one a lot. they could actually be a lot stronger to make the song sound bigger. good job though. SuperiorX: nice intro. I'm not a big fan of the snare. the space you've given it doesn't mix well in the context of the song. i love the synth work in this one. you really varied things out and it was worth the effort. the lead writing is super catchy and the countermelodies are too. one of my favorites this round, nice job. Trism: that's a really nice intro you have there. it's sounds really cool on my ears. the snare is really overpowering when it comes in. the mixing in general doesn't do it for this one, but the writing is cool, and i laughed at that drop at 1:30. it sounds funny with the rest of the song. the piano outro seemed a little weird and out of place to me. keep going after it! jnWake: this is actually my first time listening to this piece. i really enjoy that intro, and the guitar is killer too. you win major points for me here cause this sounds like it should be in a modern jrpg which i love this song puts a smile on my face. i liked the green hill transition, was pretty sudden but didn't sound too off or anything. i can't wait to hear more from you! and I believe that's it. hopefully!

Doesn't the game have the option for japanese voices? i assume it does. i'll just be using that anyways. i have a hard time playing my 3ds without headphones anyways. edit: tbh it doesn't even matter if it's cringe-worthy, people pretty much don't care about that kind of stuff anymore from what i've seen as long as you're not causing a disturbance with the noise.
