What if we had 3 different trainer battle themes and 3 different wild battle themes? I was listening to what we've got so far, and it got me thinking about a common thing in Pokemon games and especially ours. The battle musics fit fantastically for the early game routes, but is our happy fun bounce time trainer battle theme really applicable to Victory Road and the Jungle?
So here's a proposal, if you will. Up through the third gym we have what we have now, an upbeat jig that shouts "yay new adventure." For the 4th through 6th gyms, the themes are a remixed version with a slightly more serious vibe. And again for the 7th gym through the E4, things get even more serious. Not only does this make things fit better thematically, but it also keeps the player from getting bored of hearing the exact same track over and over for their entire journey. By doing subtle remixes as the journey progresses, we get a freshness we wouldn't have otherwise while still maintaining a constant battle theme.
