I'll start.
Lance/Red's theme is the best battle theme in the entire franchise, but it REALLY annoys me how short the loop is, especially in GSC where the tempo is about 10 BPM faster. The loop point for the track (not counting the intro) is about 40-45 seconds, which is way too short IMO. In comparison, Steven/Wallace's theme is about 50-55 seconds, and Cynthia's is approaching 70. And then you start to get into the Gen 5/3DS/Switch era where it's way over a minute. I think the short loop point on Red/Lance's theme is due to over-relying on the super long intro, which is fine considering the limitations at the time, but the rest of the song starts to get really repetitive because of that. And it sucks because they extended some tracks in HGSS by adding extra sections here and there, but this one in particular could've really done with some extra parts to bring it up to standards.
