Is this the worst battle theme in a Pokemon game ?

>38 seconds loop
>extremely generic melody, literally my mom's guitar solo
>shitty audio quality

It's nice and surprising the first time you hear it, but then you get sick of it after the second loop in a 5 minutes fight.

Is there anything shittier ?

Hold the fuck on, that's Wally's theme in ORAS?

The fuck, I thought he was a frail little sick boy that tried to overcome his sickness, not some generic animu hot badass boy like this theme seems to imply.

Assuming this isn't b8, this only plays in his victory road encounter (don't think it plays in his rematches but I'm not 100% sure)

It's not really a battle theme. It's more of an encounter theme, which is why it a) is so short and b) starts playing on the overworld. It replaces Wally's normal encounter theme when you encounter him in the Battle Maison, and gives way to the normal trainer battle theme during his postgame rematches.

Not while Iris still exists, no.

In fact aside from the Plasma grunt theme I'm pretty sure Wally's theme is better than every gen 5 theme.
Why was gen 5 such a musical disaster? We still haven't gotten rid of its foul electropop leavings entirely.

It ain't, I haven't honestly played any of the ORAS titles and though "Wally's theme? I can't remember his theme, did I just forgot about it". I don't think he had a battle theme of his own though in the original games though, so this definitely took me by surprise.

You're a F*cking dumbass. Wally's theme is objectively good. Why? Because adding bolder instruments to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTHoJJ-pizg symbolizes immense character development Wally displays. Not only that, it is literally theme to segue from dialogue to battle.

In addition, there are several far worse battle themes such as:

The best theme in ORAS is the team leader theme, Zinnia's theme was so painfully generic that I'm honestly surprised they didn't just throw in an orchestra while they could. Her encounter theme was much better.

It has the same problems as Wally's theme, it tries way too hard to sound epic, and as for an example, I wouldn't remember an exact example because most shitty games I've played have had similar music. FE Fates, many Tales games. Go through their soundtracks, because I don't care to myself. It doesn't work as a battle theme. Though I do have to give it credit, it's an underwhelming theme for an underwhelming character.

It follows the same musical principles, good music will have good composition.

He's much more fleshed out in the remakes. The final battle with him is extremely badass. He fights using Mega Gallade and the arena is a field of flowers with petals swirling around.

He's also the strongest trainer in the game in the final post-game rematch.

I'm pretty sure his battle theme was just supposed to be the music that plays when you meet him though, but they realized it was pretty cool and let it play for the actual fight too.

You're the one calling generic, so certainly you must've heard stuff like this several times, not to mention the gym leader theme on ORAS is extremely weak and was outdone by pretty much any rendition of it, Colosseum, original, etc.

Sounds like you have this personal vendetta against certain instruments

This doesn't sound like a typical orchestral track, it's rapid fire violin and fucking accordion for fuck's sake, with a ten tonne beat. No it isn't unique, but it's far from generic.

See, these themes have this really neat thing called variation. It allows the track to do different things throughout so that it doesn't get stale. They are also loud and powerful with heavy beats, as they should be.
These are good ORAS battle themes.

These have little variation. 30 seconds in and you're already bored of the tune. Nothing happens in these tracks. The first one just loops and the other just goes faster and faster before looping.
These are bad ORAS battle themes.

It's really underwhelming though. Just an Encounter theme looped into battle. It's got good ideas behind it but they executed it poorly. Works well enough in the spur of the moment.

I have to admit I like her encounter theme better and that a remix of it ala Wally but longer would be a better battle theme, but it's still a great track.

It reminds me of the greatness that was Colosseum.
