SacredYinZekrom thanks for the time card, but please don't do evolutions of anything at all!
There are plenty of videos sorted by Generation as it is. You don't need another one that does the exact same thing.
SacredYinZekrom I love the Giovanni battle theme in Ultra Sun and Moon the best, and I find this music to be the most epic theme of all time!
SacredYinZekrom thanks for this video , it spares me lot of time : I’m planning to make a pokemon game , so I needed to make some musics and boss theme
Why are some songs looped more than once while others aren’t?
Everyone’s gangsta until Team Skull steals a bus stop
True doe
I’m pretty sure they gangsta after that... (cuz team skull)
That was my favorite moment during my playthrough of moon it was just so random
Yo I was like "Bruh"
It's been so long since I've played Sun that I forgot that this was something that happened XD
When you realize it took 21 years for Giovanni to get his own theme...
It's all remixes of the old Team Rocket associated stuff too i love it lol
He got there eventually
It needed to be adult enough for people's ears.
wow I never knew that.
He sort of has a theme, but it's never released. (Pokémon Yellow). kzhead.info/sun/pq-Jg9x8lqJ8Zas/bejne.html

@Sel Is Bored I mean they still all lost to a kid so-
@Sel Is Bored No, actually. Most of them mention if someone interfered with their plans, in reference to the player protagonist of their region, they would probably never arrive in Alola in the first place. That means there was no player protagonist who stopped them.

Game Freak: so how many unnatural hair colors should they have? Literally every employee: *y e s*
what the hell happened to rose, giovanni, archie, lusamine, and oleana the just not get the memo
N is canonically ghetsis' son, so green is either their natural hair colour or ghetsis dyed Ns hair ever since he was a child just to fuel his own ego So technically ghetsis and Ns hair is "natural"
Red Monster Really? I thought they came from the same Planet but N was adopted by Ghetsis. Their planet definitely share the green hair colour tho
They're all main characters in a jrpg. Don't act so surprised.
@@littlemines6648 He is adopted, but he is a green haired Harmonia none the less.
I will never understand how Cryus is 27
Wait WOT
It seems hating the world makes you age a lot quicker
I once show Cyrus pic to my Dad He said the dudes look 28ish I was like "wtf how did get so close to know his real age is 27" My dad said "The guy looks he is on a mid life crisis" This explains a lot
@@kamikaze3636 that's actually amazing
his career is robotics and you can tell
Why is no one appreciating Guzma’s theme? It makes his battle more engaging for me against his golisopod and it slaps.
Yeah he has a 110% S tier theme.
One of the battles he was kicking my ass with Golisopod but the theme made it worth
The hated boss who beats you down and beats you down and doesn't let up -- it's ya boi, GUZMA!
Finally someone who also appreciates Guzma's theme. I think it sounds amazing and it gives the perfect feel while you battle him.
It is one of my fave pokemon themes, alongside USUM Ghetsis, Cyrus, USUM Giovanni and Chairman Rose if we speaking villains
Hey how many of y'all knew Cyrus grew up in Sunyshore city? If you talk to an old woman in a house on the far right of the city, (near the ocean) she says she had a student named Cyrus who shunned people and preferred the company of machines.
I knew that
Isn’t there an ongoing theory that Cyrus has a rotom?
Gen1: The mafia Gen2: The Mafia part 2: Homeless Gen3: Crazy Naturalists Gen4: The man who wants to be god Gen5: Terrorists and Activists Gen5 part2: Terrorists/Pirates and Ninjas Gen6: Lion Hair Psycho Gen7: Gangster and the Crazy Blonde Lady Gen8: The Team every teenager would like to join and the Man who tries to solve a problem hundreds of years before it really happens

Gen5 part 2: electric boogaloo

@@tomasramirez2914 but they travel around on a giant flying pirate ship... so... yeah But I guess those three shadow bois are ninjas
@@snatch1838 Yeah I remember the battle ship fight. So I could understand the pirates thing i guess. Maybe put Gen5part2:Pirates/Ninjas instead?
I like how Cyrus' theme has little to no resemblence to the Team Galactic theme since he cares very little about Team Galactic, as he would unhesitantly sacrifice his entire organization to reach his goal. It's even more noticible when you compare the other leaders and their groups' themes, except Ghetsis as he's a similar case since he only thirsts for power and uses N and Team Plasma to get it.
In stark contrast, Giovanni uses the Team Rocket theme instead of a special variant, showing that he is utterly devoted to his underlings and his organization. This sets Giovanni apart from other villains: he has no grand dreams of world conquest, he already runs a gym and the criminal underworld of Kanto and Johto. He's the most realistic villain in the series, and it more than makes up for lost gravitas to me.
@@toe_sucker_4165 yes, thats so true, or magma/aqua bosses have such similarities with their grunts.
In the RR episode Giovanni's battle theme is in part a remix of the Team Rainbow Rocket team. He has a lot of power, and I think he was just playing when he fought you, only Arceus knows how many legendary Pokémons he has, if he was going to fight seriously I don't think the protagonist would have a chance against him. Still, with all this power he has, his theme is in part a remix of the Team Rainbow Rocket theme, it did change, but it isn't completely different, even with all the power he has got, he still cares about his grunts. The grunts even tells you that Giovanni is the real boss, for them Ghetsis, Cyrus, Maxie, and all the other bosses aren't their true boss, they don't seem to care about them that much, it doesn't matter how much power they have, they still treat Giovanni as the real boss. And besides, a lot of grunts are kinda dumb, and I doubt Giovanni didn't notice it, he could just dismiss them, I'm pretty sure he can find other people who wants to be his grunts, he can travel through worlds after all, the fact he didn't dismiss them makes us understand that he cares about them. In the Celebi event of HGSS he was going to help his grunts, because "they need him", his grunts wanted him back, for them the Team Rocket isn't the same thing without Giovanni, and if they wanted him back this shows how much he cares about his grunts, if he was a dick, then they wouldn't come up with a plan to get him back in the team, this shows how much he cares about his grunts and how much his grunts cares about him. Giovanni is evil, but not cruel. He is the bad guy, sure, but he cares about his grunts. Ghetsis, on the other hand, is pure evil and doesn't care about anyone.
After playing a romhack that went into some of the more behind the scenes aspects of Pokemon that you don't normally hear about, I'm convinced that Giovanni isn't evil in the slightest. He's just a man who was beaten down, betrayed, went through a midlife crisis and then managed to reach his goals and be content in life despite everything. And then having all of that regained dignity destroyed by a kid in a fight rigged by his old brother in arms, Oak. Of course, that last part didn't happen in the Post-gen 6 universe. Maybe none of it. Rainbow Rocket Giovanni is still an absolute winner at life
Cyrus is the only villain who actually freaks me out a bit, there is this cold/dead look to his eyes that no other one has to me. He gives off the vibe that will not hesitate to harm or maybe even kill those in the way of his goal and feel no remorse having done so.
WHY is no one appreciating my man Colress??? He has a unique, and banger soundtrack that fits his theme very well! He's neither a good nor bad guy, he's perfectly in-between.
Yass it's why his Japanese name is a play on monochrome. *runs off to replay Black2*
When i first battled him his theme felt unique and something like close to a final boss, it feels like your challenging a mysterious and unique person
@@wintergray1221 Also his name is Colress in english as well, a contraction of colorless.
@@WarriorKalia That's interesting !!
Colress’ theme is my favorite, hands down.
love how maxie and archie are always standing as far apart as possible

Lusamine actually scarred me from not only her chilling theme to what the actual setting was in the battle environment. Seeing frozen, encased pokemon while fighting broke my focus a lot and cost me a lot of battles. But that theme, God the violin with the octave high piece variation of the normal battle theme it sends chills down my spine ever time i hear it. not to mention the choir like singing that comes into play later in the song. Absolutely breathtaking

Decisive Battle N was when I knew shit was going down. But knew deep down he wasn't a bad guy. Still though, what a battle indeed. Worthy of the insane music he gets
His theme always rings as this "this is a real fight, pay attention" and has these subtle, almost tragic sounding notes to it. It's why it's been my favorite for years.
but guess what? that fight was easy, and so is the majority of B/W
@@religiousindustrialaliens no matter my team, he put up a fight for me. So like- good for you ig, but I'd always have a little trouble lol
@@EnbyHarmonia it was my fault for picking snivy and that roggenrola, i almost got stuck with only those two and still beat the game
@@religiousindustrialaliens In the grand scheme of things, all Pokemon Games are easy if you know what you're doing. BW/BW2 are imo one of the more difficult Pokemon games though. You could argue that Platinum may be harder though.
My boi Cyrus theme sound like an legendary
that's probably how they meant it since he lowkey wants to make his own universe
I mean you gotta admit it, he took control of Dialga and Palkia of the creation Trio. Which in turn called in Giratina and could possibly bring in the god Arceus.
Ghetsis also
Lysandre too
@@user-om8dc5ne4u Good
Everybody gangsta until Lysander gets out his weird bee arms.

Nah he just likes bees, man
Lysander just boring
i cant believe he killed Archibald
God, the fifth gen always hits me in the feels so damn hard. That N and Ghetsis theme. Such masterpieces BW and BW2 were, definitely the pokemon game series at its peak.
Don’t forget about that team plasma grunt soundtrack it is so good
Agreed

Gen 5ers and gen 1ers trying to find who can d1ck ride there games the most
ghetsis theme slaps so hard
The older the gen 7 games get the MORE I appreciate them. What good games, if only the cut scenes were skippable.
Yeah, I have some bias since gen 7 were the first games I played, but man those first cutscenes are long
Recently played them, they are indeed pretty good.
Just gave you your 69th like. Gen 7 was one of my favorite games of all time. Z-moves weren't exactly great, but the trial system and the amount of cameos made it a fun and fresh experience.
ikr, and to be honest, while i have many pokemon games that i bought as a child... i've only ever finished moon and ultra sun because im too dumb to figure out where to go without constantly looking on the markers on the map on the bottom screen💀 but i've grown up with gen 7 because of that, i've replayed them at least 15 times each, and can now go entire save files without losing a single match (though sometimes it gets difficult), they're undoubtedly my favourite games in the franchise because the familiarity they bring, and every new save file i do i discover something new or gain a new appreciation for something about the game
tbh i loved gen 7 but that's only because i remember playing it all the time with my friend who hates me now
I'm just here to appreciate the genius that is the gen 5 evil team soundtrack.
DEEENIS

Wykyd I’m so glad that gen 5 is finally getting the appreciation it deserves. It was wayyyy overhated back in the day.
Ghetsis gave me nightmares as a kid in Pokemon white and white 2, so freaking creepy and the only antagonist to try to kill you on screen. He also pushed Lily and kept her hostage.

Damn, I just noticed that 💀
Wow. I never even realized.
Cyrus's battle theme just feels like you meet a legendary boss who has been waiting to fight a worthy opponent for a long time.
It really does feel like the player is overcoming insurmountable odds. The beat feels like you're ascending.
😄
The fact that Unova makes up a third of the video.
Is a good thing imo lol. Gen 5 music is great.

Atleast better than just spam beep dozen time without melody

Everybody gangsta till Lusamine turns into a jellyfish
Everyone talking about how cool ghetsis' theme is but they forget it's literally just a remix of arceus' theme
Probably something to do with Ghetsis having a god complex
Lusamine (from the original Sun and Moon, not the Ultra games) is definitely my favorite villain in any of the games. It's kinda jarring to see her turn from the caring head of a non profit dedicated to saving Pokemon to a fucking megalomaniac that wants to release a bunch of alien-ish creatures on the world.
not to mention her theme was amazing
Both her and her theme are amazjng
And in the ultra games I think (Haven't played yet so basing this off of videos on youtube) she acts all friendly then just completely becomes psychotic? Idk correct me if wrong cus idk

I just really loved the way Neo Plasma's intro animation matched the music's buildup, especially when they tossed the ball from one hand to another
35:56 will always give me the chills and goosebumps.
BUT IT WILL NEVER GIVE GUDAL AND KENT
HYDREIGON USE DRAGON PULSE !
Gheeeeeeeeeetsis!! Gheeeeeeeeeetsis!!
I've always wanted one of those hoodies that team magma was wearing...
I want one of them too
They do look swag tho
Aqua are a bunch of pirates Magma has sick hoodies, were dabbing years before it became a thing, have actual brain cells, and a Courtney. Join Team Magma today!
@@goroakechi6126 Sorry but i like the buff pirate more
As much as I love other villain themes, I kinda feel like Lysandre's theme is an underrated *bop*
Clearly one of my fav THE POWER
The intro is amazing.
@@thatfourkinnie6077 I agree! He's about to *purge* the entire *Planet* of all People and Pokémon besides himself and his revolution of Team Flare! His theme kind of sounds like your on a timer till Doomsday strikes and *purges* the Planet in return!
I think this also
It is!!
Oh man, that ghetsis theme sure gives the goosebumps and still an epic music I've ever heard my entire life!!! So much memories 👍
"Dennis... Dennis..."
i will forever state how underrated Lusamine's theme is!! Its so grandiose and majestic!
Until she fuses I honestly prefer her theme when she did not fuse with Nihilego And now here's a meme no~one cares about. Lunala>Again? Your mother dressed you like this? That woman dresses her like that weird thing... My Lillie won't be dressing like that flying parasite, she is not like that. Lunala>Do you like it, Lillie? Lillie>Ah! I like it lots, Nebby!

I swear, Team Plasma has the best grunt themes that Pokémon has or ever will have
Yeah! They look like a paramilitary organization
especially in the sequels
Team flare I grunt music also kinda pops..
best grunt backstory too
Seriously you guys are just braindead unova fans saying the same damn thing. It's ok to have opinions you know, and I personally think team plasma's theme is trash compared to a lot of the other ones
I love Lysander gun loading at his start lmao so over the top, like "chill dude put the gun down!"
*you are challenged by mega-metal beetle-arms lysandre*
and i love how in the usum remake theme you can hear the gun firing in the backround
Cyrus as a character scares the ever living shit out of me. Every other leader wants something. A better world, money, freedom for Pokémon, belonging, at the very least something. Cyrus doesn't want any of that. He wants oblivion. For him, and the world. And he would stand against the gods of time and space themselves if they would try to stop him.
Neo Plasma starts at 28:48 Flare starts at 40:45 Colress at 32:06
Lysandre 43:09
Thanks 🎶

When it's literally the battle that will decide the fate of the universe: 8:35
The tune is a bit too cheery for the situation.
@@Bjorn_in_Orbit it isn't?? It's so full of tension
@@Mqstodon only in the first 15 seconds does it sound intimidating. It sounds more like desert tune. And the drums sound good, but ghetsis did it better in my opinion.
@@Bjorn_in_Orbit Of course... A Unova boy/girl who *MUST* say that Gen 5 is best all around! I'm starting to hate Gen 5 now cause of you lot!
@@teameclipse7763 are you okay? I never even said that i liked his tune it has a very slow build up and it doesn't have that good of a rhythm. I just think he has a better BOSS theme then this guy. It actually sounds like a team boss battle. Still prefer blue hair as a normal track but in my opinion child murderer does it better in the whole: ima kill you song. And if just mentioning my opinion makes you salty you probably shouldn't be in a comment section.
the fact that rainbow Lysandre's theme is most replayed makes me very happy Lysandre, Rainbow Cyrus, Guzma, Gladion and Marnie have my favourite tracks by far
Gen 4 music will always hold a special place in my heart
Imagine Ghetsis without the robes and stuff.
No, i don't think i will
lanky old man
Probably half-crippled tbh
You know that scene from Spongebob where Squidward imagines Squilliam in his underwear and thinks that Squilliam is probably hot af? That probably won't apply to Ghetsis.
I’d rather not....
I don't know about you, but Team Flare's theme is pretty underrated.
It hits hard when you realize if you lose, you lose all your family and loved ones CUS HE ABOUT TO MASS MURDER THE WORLD
I like there theme.
Team Flare is my favorite probably cuz X and Y bring me a shit ton of nostalgia
true
I never liked Team Flare, but even I admit they have good music.
We can all have our personal favorites, but man does this franchise have bangers left and right
I dont see many people talking about this... but gladions theme goes so hard
YES BRO FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT. I WOULD PUT HIS THEME AS THE BATTLE SONG IN THE BATTLE TREE
This video really shows how much the art style has changed over the years.
Yet.. it still looks the same
I like how they used the old artstyle for the Rainbow Rocker arc
@@abarette_ Rainbow Rocker
Team Magma grunts in R/S/E: Psshhhh this kid thinks he can get in our way! Let's teach 'em! Team Magma grunts in ORAS: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" " I DON'T KNOW IT'S LIKE A PERSON ONLY SMALLER WTF" "WELL GET IT THE HELL OUT OF HERE IT'S SCARING ME"
Brendan and May went from normal kids to gods of destruction with mega Blazekin and Sceptile
Colress will forever have a champion level theme. After listening to all of them over and over again, I just never understand what went through their heads to give Colress, in my opinion, one of the best themes to come out of a Pokemon game. Wear headphones too if you listen, you can literally feel the beat switching between ears at points. Unreal.
Black white 2 has the best music and no one can change my opinion, it literally just captivated me every time, and the nostalgia for me is so much higher for gen 5 then any other gen. I just LOVE it
I never played gen 5 but yeah the music is fire
Gen 3 is the goat
I just realized the chants in ghetsis are saying “ghetsis”. I love how much this song improves without the compression. Most of black and whites soundtrack is excellently designed with the ds limitations but you couldn’t hear most of the ghetsis theme aside from parts of the beat.
bro those gen 5 remakes are gonna hit hard in 10 years
Actually, they are saying "Penance" Ghetsis' japanese name, which is an actual word, and it seems as if he wanted N to do the definition
In BW and BW2 they say something that sounds like "Dennis" but in the USUM remaster it sounds like Ghetsis now
@@MariOmor1 Damn, I remember almost a decade ago, when that was a meme. It was cool to mishear the Ghetsis Choir saying "Dennis".
Deeeeeeennis
As I listen to this video I realized that generation 5 and Generation 7 had music that was just off-the-charts
The Leader theme from ORAS goes hard and deserves more credit
agreed
Cyrus's theme is one of the most intimidating and "shits about to get real, 12 year old who we trust to save the entire region/world/universe" themes in the franchise
SHIT WHY GUDAL AND KENT ARE JUST DESTROYED SEASTONES
32:07 is the best theme in my opinion just fits Colress so well and makes the battle more entertaining
It's a great theme, but it sounds like something straight out of Megaman Star Force.
@@PhyzinicStudios Is that a bad thing?
Yo he's pretty sick
TELL ME WHO ELSE IS COOL ENOUGH TO GET A COUNT DOWN IN THE BEGINNING OF THEIR BATTLE
@@LucarioDoT It just doesn't sound like it belongs in a pokemon game.
I wonder who the bad guy is, he could be anyone. The Bad Guy: 43:08
Lysandre is a fashion gay
Fucking Jojo’s reference
CallMeCameron fr. I feel like they were TRYING to make him a twist villain, but ONE look at him and he looks exactly like a member of Team Flare. That and him wanting the world to be 'beautiful' was such a dead giveaway
The stand user blended in, it could be anyone The stand user: 01:26:08
i was 11 when i played Y and it was so obvious, did like his style tho
Nobody says it but, Lysandre's theme hits hard
Thank you for saying this, because it truly dows
Everyone dose
I love how each boss theme conveys how utter insane some of these Team Leaders are.
THE INFERNO DESTROYED GUDAL AND KENT
When he said "Skull Uh Uh" *i felt that*
Generation 3 be like: "This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!"
Every Pokemon game has relatively normal criminals, who want money, power, or something somewhat tame... Then Cyrus comes along and is like "Lemme just become God real quick so I can ERASE ALL OF REALITY"
So yeah, N has the best battle themes I've ever heard in a JRPG. Since nobody else has mentioned the Ultra Recon Squad's theme, Ive just gotta say: Ok, I freakin' love the Ultra Recon Squad's battle theme. The synths and progressions remind me of the the Mega Man X5 OST, which is an OST that slaps like no other and holds a huge amount of nostalgia for me.
Their not even evil their just there they're basically a rival cause they just wanna battle to see how they've grown in their travels hell in ultra sun Zossie tell Dulse to stop being a nerd at lake of the moone so she can do an island challenge
facts + x vs zero from mmx5 is really good too
So yeah, you need to play more JRPG. Just listen to things like One winged angel and you'll know what's good.
1:23:11 Lysandre looks really intimidating with the US UM background. He's walking with a purpose.
Lysandre was the ONLY hard Opponent in X and Y. Everything else was a cakewalk.
@Aaron Ramsey Definitely can agree, although as a kid I had problems in the first Lysandre fight, but everything also was way too easy, in the final Lysandre fight you even can choose to have Xerneas/Yveltal to beat him up
Lysandre: I'm going to beat you to Death
More like menacing
He had a pretty good objective, a bit like Cyrus
Gen 5 music was epic and menacing when I was 8, it is menacing and epic now.
@@Soup-pirate66 sounds like someone couldn't handle the Neutron style
@@Soup-pirate66 still cant handle the Neutron style
I just love 45:53. Team magma and aqua are just so nice with it.
you gotta give credit to that bass player in Team Skull tho. absolute banger, carrying all their songs like a champ
I won't lie....Guzma has probably one of the coolest themes out of all the Villains....just sayin
Totally agree!
No ghetsis, his theme even says his name
I like Team Plasma my #1 favorite Although you are right. Guzma's theme is awesome. Definitely #2 in my list of favorites Lyzander is my third favorite
third fav to n's and ghetsis'
I would agree aside from the fact I don’t really think Guzma is a villan
I can never get over how good N's theme is. It starts with some very sparkly techno, then the beat drops. It demands your attention. You realize that this is a serious fight. Then the sparkly techno bit disappears, whatever air instruments those are signalling the arrival of a king. A different set of sparkly techno bit serves as the undercurrent to those air instruments, as if the people are cheering for the king in his battle.
And then he sends out a Purrloin
And then at the end, he sends out his Reshiram/Zekrom.
The final fight with N is honestly my favourite climax of any videogame. The music adds to this frantic tension and it builds up to N sending his dragon and you sending out dragon, approximately when the trumpets come in in the song. It’s just a climatic fight followed by a difficult and despairing fight with ghetsis
@@fight_and_die1573 Yeah no kidding, N's theme hits so hard. Out of the Pokemon game plots I really liked the B&W plot specifically. It felt much more personal since you constantly encountered N throughout the game and he was a complex person rather than being the single villain. This theme really captures that imo
Black and white was such an awesome addition. The music slaps too.
Can we appreciate how good Cyrys theme is, sounds like a champion theme
Nah it doesn't have that victory vibe it still has a sinister vibe to it
SHUT UP DAVID R DESTROY RYAN G AND CELIA K
Cyrus theme are a masterpiece
No one's talking about the gladio theme but.... Masterclass
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Plumeria's theme is actually pretty f'n dope, I was too busy destroying her team to notice. Really gives me the 'I'm the older sibling and I'm gonna kick your ass for bullying my younger sibling' vibes.
Yeah say that line again after your crowbar gets some decent level and doesn't get bopped by my fricken eevee
I killed her sexy lizard with my sand castle.
Yeah, now I'm pretty sure his real name is Dennis not Ghetsis
cultist to ISIS in just 2 years.
Thanks to Patterz I’ll never not hear “Dennis” when that theme plays. 😂
Ghetis is his Japanese name so the theme does make sense lol
@@shrimpnft509 omfg I am rolling
I've always loved how, while using the same instruments, Neo Team Plasma really sounds nothing like the original Team Plasma, because they are functionally two completely separate groups.
When it got to N theme I got hit with some massive goosebumps. I might not remember much but my body sure does 😂
SHIT JULAN W PUT DOWN CYNDI E AND RYAN G
N's second battle theme will always be the perfect battle theme for an antagonist. When I hear it every time, it makes me think that the situation is REALLY critical and everything hinges with each decision I make.
I hear you, understandable. Counterpoint: 1:08:28
Let’s all face it. *GEN 5 MUSIC ALL HIT DIFFERENT*
It just hits different y'know🙂
Eh...
Hmmmm, kinda Kalos did it better
@@urinetor12 tf kind of music taste u have no hate tho
Definitely.
guzmas theme will forever be my fav, not sure if its because im a fangirl for him but his theme scratches my brain correctly
as a kid I never appreciates just how menacing the Team Rocket Grunt battle theme was. It actually sends a chill down my spine as an adult listening back to the Team Rocket theme
49:25 Jesus christ I can't express in words how much I love that drop. ORAS might not have been the best game gameplay wise, but I gotta admit, they really nailed the OST remaster.
gen 6 wasnt great but it had a really good soundtrack overall at least
Earraping trumpets *Hoenn intensified*
@Zandeel Remmington no
@Zandeel Remmington a lot of people loved gen 5's design and the wide majority of people hold it up as the best in the series. a lot of people initially hated zelda wind waker and now love it and think its amazing. tastes change
@Zandeel Remmington ive literally never seen a single person in the fanbase who shares that opinion lmao. all the gen 5 content i see on insta and twitter are super pro-gen 5 and its designs

I'm japanese. Why do you think Team Plasma2 Ninjas?
@@user-ow5ni6tx7y 8 months late, but hey. they probably only looked at the black, skin-tight suits and the balaclava and disregarded the Boots, the Vest and the Beret. the only people that are in allegiance with team plasma, who really are literal ninjas, are the shadow triad.
team flare are literal tomatoes
They got the most funky jams for their themes, I swear.
Ah yes,Ghetsis theme is so funky
