Out of all of the mainline regions, which ones have the best songs in your opinion?
8. Johto - Not that it’s bad, but Johto music is just a little less interesting to me than other gens. The Gym Leader theme is great though.
7. Kanto - Same reasoning as Johto, but I find the songs to be just that bit more iconic and memorable.
6. Kalos - This is where it starts to go from ‘good’ to ‘great’. A lot of it isn’t as catchy as regions lower down, but when it hits, it hits.
5. Galar - I usually prefer town themes to battle themes, but Galar has some of the best battle themes in the series. The town themes aren’t as great, but there’s still some nice ones like Circhester or Stow-on-Side.
4. Sinnoh - Not as big of a fan of the batlte themes (though some like Giratina’s are still great), but the route/town themes are so beautiful and calming it’s stays so high because of it.
3. Hoenn - It’s my favorite region, and the music perfectly encapsulates that feeling of tropical adventure. It’s only at three because I feel like the others are slightly better.
2. Unova - I absolutely adore the route/town themes, and the battle themes are top-notch too. Reshiram/Zekrom have my favorite legendary theme, and Lacunosa Town is my favorite town theme, too. Lots of highs, and the lows aren’t even bad, just not as memorable.
1. Alola - Great battle themes, adventurous route themes, beautiful town themes. I think Unova has better music at its peak but is bogged down a tiny bit by those that don’t hit so hard. Alola is of an extremely consistent outstanding quality.
