Something interesting about Calem and Serena's champion outfits is that their colors swap with their original outfits. Calem changes blue for red and black while Serena changes her black and red outfit for blue. Both outfits are amazing, defenetly something a Champion would use and I love it.
Decisive Battle! Diantha might lowkey be one of the best Decisive themes yet. The usage of the Kalos League theme to drive the chord progression of Diantha's theme is brilliantly done!
Emmas theme feels like something out of anime rather than a game - i actually really enjoy it Decisive Diantha is so majestic, i think regal as you put it best describes how well they made the theme fit the person Loved your reaction to the Neo Champion themes 😁 i didnt catch as much as you did but your facwe said it all
"Masters, what's your favorite instrument?" "Heartstrings". Emma's theme is original. Also, Masters really likes adding other themes in their Battle remixes. And yeah, Diantha's theme has the Pokemon League theme at the beginning and probably in other parts too. And it's such a good remix it's incredible. Masters always nails design and music
The Battle Neo Champion theme is one of, if not my favorite piece of music from this game. I genuinely cried the first time I heard it, and I still tear up every time it plays. Pokemon X was my first ever Pokemon game, so Kalos really means a lot to me, and this theme perfectly encapsulates Kalos to me. It brings back childhood memories, of simpler times, and it's honestly just beautiful. It's one of those feelings that I never thought I'd feel from something like Pokemon Masters EX, but here we are.
We do fight Emma, but as Essentia, her evil alter ego made by Dr. Xerosic, and in her fights, she had the regular Kalosian trainer, but as Sycamore, she has a theme which was not for battle (Sycamore's more focused on beauty, an Emma's more sorrowful)
Oh boy it’s finally time. The Kalos Champion Stadium Elite Four Remixes just dropped (although datamined and not officially yet) with a Lysandre Decisive Battle Theme remix.
Malva has alredy been shown and Dracena's name was found in the codes a time ago, so it's most likely both will be released like the Sinnoh Elite Four for Kalos Tournament. So most likely each Kalos Elite four will have their own theme soon. 😁
Good lord, God bless your soul I found this video. As you can see my profile picture, I literally said a few months before her release that I, and exactly in these words, "Want a SS Diantha with a Decisive Battle Diantha Theme." So I have officially marked that day as an important day in Pokemon History. Because other than her masterfair and her other outfits, nowhere in the Anime is she going to show up with another dress as this gorgeous. Your reaction really melted my heart..
I agree that they’re a little underwhelming overall but I love the callbacks they did in the themes. There was also a contest battle theme for new years that had a few leitmotifs I loved. Also there’s gonna be a part 2 of the Kalos villain arc next month so hopefully they do more themes in that!
This was from a Neo champion event, where the Champions from each region have to choose trainers to be Neo champions and the Champion of the region will be the one to decide as a Neo champion trainers from their region only, so it have to be really good because Neo champions are a huge deal since they get Master sync pairs.
The best part is... the way these arcs of the game's story always come in two parts, so we have another batch to look forward to next month! I'm guessing we'll have new themes for Team Flare Admin + Lysandre at the least. I don't think the Admins had their own theme in XY, and Lysandre's I personally found underwhelming in XY, so hoping for something good here! Lysandre interestingly didn't make an appearance in the first half of the event story, despite being entirely about Team Flare.
I remember going into the Kalos Villain Arc with high hopes- while the series as a whole seems to malign X and Y, Masters did give Sycamore and Lysandre the philosophical debate/ closure conversation they really should've had in the original games. Surely they could still use that spark, right? And then I heard Diantha's Decisive Battle theme, and knew that Kalos was at last getting JUSTICE!
