You're a crazy person! If I write 151 songs before I die, I'll be satisfied.

0:43 sound like 1950s shopping music <3

The, um, break(?) at around 1:20 is very cool in Pika.

The delayed xylophone (?) around 1:20 in Metapod is perfect. Very evocative.

Around 0:45 in metapod, the samples kind of show their ugly side, and there's an awkward, somewhat abrupt total silence.

I don't really like the complete lack of percussion, either. Just some little tambourine shakes or castanet clickies would be great, and I heard several spots where I thought they'd fit.

BUT DON'T TOUCH EITHER OF THESE, YOU HAVE 149 MORE TO WRITE. WTF, GO GO GO

Thanks for all the detailed feedback! Yeah it was a delayed xylophone! You are right about the percussion - I considered putting some triangle or tambourine but castanet is a good idea too! Perhaps I can hide the ugliness and fill the silence around 0:45 with a little percussion!

But yeah, it's a ridiculous undertaking but I've always found pokemon so inspiring and characteristic for composition! I actually started the project a few years ago when i'd written a few themes but now i've finally gotten around to producing them. If I complete it before I die i'll be happy and a little surprised!

Great job so far Cal. I'm rootin' for ya.

Thanks a bunch! Keep up all the great work and productivity i've seen from you recently! We should collab - i was thinking 4:39-5:03 from remnants of the day on my soundcloud. I don't know if that's feasible or not. I actually tried to make a beat out of it a while ago but gave up quickly. Let me know if you think that'd be a good idea? If not, i can write something specifically for a collab!
