Pokemon LGPE's music is a huge disappointment - especially its instrumentation, which is characterless and takes the easy "lmao orchestra" route without doing anything with it. Post Pokemon music which has good, memorable instrumentation.

The one thing I was looking forward to was the music and they even managed to fuck that up. It just sounds extremely uninspired and generic. If you want to go down the Orchestra route at least take the effort to use live performances.

On a serious note, I disagree. I find that it's only held up by the original compositions being (for the most part) decent, and the rearrangements don't really do anything with the tracks. Even Route 11, which I'd go as far as saying is the best track from the original games, sounds like an uninspired 1:1 cover of the original, and all of the instruments used are the most bland picks possible. It's extremely safe - too safe, in fact, and it ends up making the soundtrack unmemorable.

I think the problem is that the original songs are just okay and they didn't try for anything different to make them really stand out--probably for pandering's sake. The previous games' songs--even SM--were really nice, too, so it's pretty lame to see this. Even in HG/SS they tried something different with Viridian Forest and the park, and those were fantastic arrangements.

They're trying to do what Dragon Quest does with midi orchestras, make the OST mediocre but make it so that when performed by a live orchestra it actually sounds amazing, thus requiring you to view a concert in order to get the "true" experience.

It felt kinda generic but imagine tho, not defending stupid GF, but how many twists can they go for the same kind of music? I think they'll hit a stump sooner or later and with how they shilling Kanto so much, I think they just hit that.

There's still a ton of tracks in Gen 1 which haven't been changed in interesting ways, such as the Pokemon Mansion and Surfing (both of which are fairly standard covers in FRLG). I can understand being a bit generic for some tracks (although being this generic is still inexcusable), but there's a lot of untapped potential.
