Description
This piece represents a Pokemon story in three parts. Part 1: You are walking through a peaceful village. The nature is wonderful and Pokemon scamper about, but something is a little...off... Part 2: You enter a building and approach a worthy and skilled Pokemon champion. Their presence is the force causing the village vibes to be off! You have only one choice... Part 3: BATTLE! I made this in Logic pro, its heavily inspired by LittleRoot Town music, Cynthia's approach music, and a hodgepodge of battle songs.

Quite nice, the second part reminds me a lot of Bach, it's got great countrepoint. the synth in the third is a bit out of place, and the guitar is too loud. I think the transitions could be a bit more subtle. you could replace the synth (acoustic guitar?) that leads into the second part with a cello, and it would help the transition as the synth contrasts the violins a bit too much. Nice job!
This is great. Very Pokemon! You said what you needed to in less than 2 minutes. The transition between the first two parts felt like a bit of a stumble and could probably be reworked in order for it to become SUPER EFFECTIVE, and I feel like more time could be spent on instrument placement and levelling. But honestly, as it stands, it's already excellent work.
This is great! I hear the Littleroot influence for sure, as well as the Cynthia influence for the second part (which I think was my favorite. Something about those violins is so fun!). I think I only have two constructive criticisms. One would be to maybe play with the panning more to really open it up. Also, and this may just be a me thing, but I think the drums could be turned down a little so the guitar, strings and synth could be heard better. Other than that, awesome job!
There's a lot to like here. The beautifully simple and quiet town theme, just like a hometown song should be. Maybe a little too similar to Littleroot, but that might just be because I know it so well. I definitely hear the Cynthia influence in the 2nd part. It portrays that classical vibe well. I think the battle theme is my favorite, it has a good form with the opening riff and the chords and the beginning segueing into the melody. I also liked the bit of stillness in the action after the melody plays before going loud again. The transition between parts 2 and 3 are pretty sweet, I think the transition from parts 1 and 2 is little drastic and could be smoother, it's a bit of a whiplash. The instrumentation and balance were good as well, although I think the drums were lacking in power, I would've gone for drums that had more umph in them if that makes sense. Overall this is really cool, good job!
