>>30832952>Hau: Friend that you travel with throughout the region to make memories with, have battles to enjoy yourselves as you become stronger >Kahuna: Sometimes talk to them outside of the purpose to beat them, they exist to judge your skill and move on in your island challengeNo, they're not. I could maybe understand if you said Gladion was, but Hau? No.
Regular trainer battles, Wild Mon battles, Llima, etc are all battles that don't need to be epic or intense. They're just battles. But why would I want to hear unfitting music, ESPECIALLY that happy stuff, for something like a Kahuna battle where my ability to progress on my challenge is tested? For stuff like Ultra Beasts, vs Lusamine, etc, it does not fit. It does not help capture the intensity of a moment, especially when their character is not defined by happiness. And no, you don't need Ghetsis-tier music for something to be "epic". Guzma and Lusamine's are both epic / intense and capture the theme of their characters. The Kahuna theme just fails at this.
