>>28183437the gym leader theme in honestly the best example. it starts out with a decently paced intro, and then immedietely goes into a slow, melodic, almost peaceful section. i encourage you to compare the pacing and use of percussion in the gen 3 and 4 gym leader themes.
>>28183483gen 4 used a lot of piano/keyboard stuff for its music. like I said, that's great for routes/towns, but during a battle it doesn't get me into it at all.
just a disclaimer, I know Im sounding like a pretentious fuck, but I have zero professional music education. take my opinion with a grain of salt.
