>>56919437the Gen 3 soundfont is just awesome, I think that's the biggest factor. everything sounds good in it. even tracks from other Pokemon games sound better when they're ported to the Gen 3 soundfont.
>but muh trumpetsyes, and they're great. it just has so much character. they really pushed the limits of the GBA soundchip to make cool sounds.
compare to BW, those games have some great compositions as well. but the soundfont just makes everything sound like generic soft techno that blends together. it could be the ost for any game. but when I hear those Gen 3 trumpets, that sound is the essence of Pokemon.
