Description
For this song. I wanted to write something for Kanto's Route 24 in the " re-visit" style from GSC. The original concept was a date "event" at the end of the cape. (There is flavor text alluding to this) For the composition, I had a ton of fun with this one. Still feels adventurous but some what romantic due to the Cannon like progression.

Nice tune, it is moving but reflective at the same time. I really like the progression and key changes. The only thing I would potentially change is adding space between some of the notes in the melody, to give it some space to breathe.

Very nice song, it sounds right out of the original Gameboy games!The melody is really catchy and I loved the progression of the whole track. My only criticism is that the lead seems to have a vibrato effect the whole time which was a little distracting, but that may just be nit picking. The mix is great though and sounds full for having limited channels so nice job!

This is great, it feels like it would feel like home in any classic pokémon game, congrats!

I love the composition. The classic(al) canon progression sounds perfect for this theme. I didn’t know a lot of Pokemon music before the Jam, and right now, if I found this tune in a compilation of the Gameboy era OST, I wouldn’t question it at all!

As a nitpick, I think that maybe the mix blends TOO much, if that’s possible. When you are using shorter pizzicato notes I’m as happy as can be, but when using full note values it somehow sounds too legato to me. Maybe too much release time there? Anyway, that’s just me and if anything I’d consider it a “render” issue. It fits the mellowness of the tune tbh.

This is really good! Excellent harmonic structure and enough variation to keep it interesting. I found the lead sound a bit annoying, but I think that's just on me because I find that sound annoying in original chiptunes too!

That's a cool idea to write a theme for an area that didn't get one in gsc. The mix here is really well balanced, and I appreciate that the lead here doesn't grind at the ears; it's nice and subdued while still being the focal point of the track. The chord progression here is also really beautiful. There's good tension and release with a nice B section that's a little more upbeat that effectively gives the route theme its drive to make you wanna march onward. Great job!

Hello, for the clicking I might be able to help, Does the original video export click too or is it exclusive to when you uploaded it to youtube, also what video software did you use and do you know what the bit-rate of the audio codec settings was for the video software?

Thanks for the tip, it was the bit rate mismatch that caused it. I've hashed it out and put in a new link.
