You forgot to include the part where you get a haunter with an everstone to make sure you never become the Pokemon Master because you don't have enough money for another DS.
I didn't actually think that the remakes for Gen 3 were that bad... Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, I can feel your rage from over here, I feel you, I understand you, allow me to explain myself! Although I did find it weird for the Mega Evolutions to be forced in the story (I believe that if they added more explanations to them adding it in the first place rather than just hype material, I would've been fine with it), everything else in my opinion was aye okay; the graphics looked gorgeous for being on the 3DS, the music was breathtaking (Wally's theme, especially), and the gameplay felt more alive than the original. Yeah, I do see some problems with the game (like the fact that it drops frames quicker than Entei, Raikou, and Suicune fleeing from a battle, hate those slippery mofos) but the problems that I ran into didn't outweigh the good, and I think it did a phenomenal job of what it was trying to do (heck, I only suffered in the game, because I was doing the Nuzlocke challenge, and even then I defeated the game with only one death [Poseidon the Kyogre, rest in peace :( ]). But about the Gen 4 remakes... no, yeah - yeah, no, I believe that Game Freak is going to make this one of, if not, the best remakes for Pokemon in it's history! So much potential is already there in the concept. All they have to do is not screw it up. And, let's be honest, I've heard that the remakes will be on the Switch, and, if that's the case, I highly doubt that they'll mess this up. I have high hopes for this game. But, nobody knows what the future will bring. Here's to an amazing 2018!
I agree with you on oras, I feel like they messed up allot... But not to the point where it completely ruined the game. I really hope they don't screw up gen 4 though, because this is where I came in. Allot of people my age came in on gen 4 and so there is allot of hype already for a remake! If it ends up being on the switch... Well then I'm out 300 buck and getting a switch!!!
Carlos used Lick! It's super effective! 3:22 All in all breathed some new life into a track that didn't catch my attention in Diamond and Pearl. Well done yet again
Carlos, what a year. I think this has been a great year. Your jazz covers keep getting better and better, and I can't wait for what you will make next year in 2018. Happy new year!
Thank you so much! I think this has been a fantastic year as well - I've learned a lot about myself and this channel, and I'm excited to see where things go!
Woah! This one feels very cold and warm at the same time. I absolutely adore the synth solo in the middle, all with just 25 keys! Now that's skill. I have that same, just a V49, so I really gotta start practising... This cover just grooves so fantastically. It's got a great feel of rhythm and syncopation by the end, and the combination of synths and sax feels very appropriate for this song. Fantastic dynamic range, as always, and the ending feels very sweet and soft. Amazing job!
Thanks for listening, man! (There was actually one bit where I hit the octave button too early and had to edit some MIDI notes... but it came out pretty well otherwise!)
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene Bah, those kinds of mistakes are so minor you'd never notice if you weren't looking. Real skill is working with the mistakes and turning them into a fantastic performance, like you did!
I'm early, better say something. It's a good aarangment, man. These always brighten up my Saturdays. Wait, it's already Saturday. Crud, my winter break is almost over.
Someone NEEDS to hire you for something bigger than RU-vid. I love your music so much that I would pay to see this live in concert. You are phenomenal at what you do. Never stop what you do.
All I can say is "wooow" - with three o's. Just the intro alone with the piano + saxophone immediately brought the presence of goosebumps all the way up my sleeve. Way to work your - jazzy - magic, Carlos! Best wishes.
Ah Gen IV, the jazziest of Gens. I originally didn’t think much of this theme until years later when I listened to the soundtrack by itself. I was curious to see how you’d handle this fairly sparse track. Was not disappointed. Nice soloing and textures man.
Found myself almost crying during class when hearing the beginning and onward. I always loved Snowpoint City, for just how beautiful and hearing snowflakes falling around me. Such a pretty, jazzy piece for a pretty city.
That Metroid sounding beginning, ooh. Also, I love the not-too-festive but still kinda chill combo here. Truly winters (No, not earthbound winters) ahoy.
I had _snow_ idea that this _cool_ song even existed! I'm glad that you were here to _point_ me in the right direction! Okay, being real, this cover is great. Dare I say that it's... pretty _chill._ I can't stop.
Once again you have me floored by your ability to bring me back to my childhood. Absolutely incredible work Carlos, and thank you for another great year of music!
I heard “The Lick” somewhere around 3:27 during the synth solo. Spectacular rendition of Snowpoint from the best Pokemon games imo. Until next cover, See you Snow Cowboy ❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful piece. I love how you can hear your footsteps as you walk around the city... it really adds to the atmosphere. And the cover is pretty amazing--it works great with your style!
You nailed this one, man. Snow/winter themed tracks have always been among my favorites for the atmosphere they create, and you captured that really well here. Amazing job.
Breaking News: Carlos Seen Actually Playing Drums in One of His Songs! :) This is excellent. Great work, definitely one of my favorites by you. Especially that solo - fantastic!
How fitting you released this during a week where we've had some snow in England! You definitely brought this theme to life! Whilst I love it for what it is, it wasn't the most exciting theme of Diamond and Pearl as it was so calm, so I loved hearing your take on it!
My god...I've been waiting for this song, specifically to be recreated with your flavor for a long time, now...thank you, and bravo! One of the best songs from Sinnoh.
That transition at 4:17 into a continuation of the synth solo goes so hard, and the solo itself was just awesome. Didnt know what you were gonna pull for a snowpoint city cover but this blew me away.
Should be on there soon-ish! Music distribution is relatively slow this time of year due to holiday break, but I'll update the description as soon as it comes in!
It's awesome that you're adding new instruments into your repertoire because they really add to your covers. Also, I love the sonority in this one; it was such a good idea to take such a sparse piece and infuse it with some jazzy techno synth noodling. I'm never disappointed with your uploads; keep them up.
this wasn't one of my favorite tracks on the game because it was so simple and there was barely anything playing, but now i realize that it is actually the appeal of the song, it's calming silent, reflective. This cover feels more lively with the jazz, but i still feel the serenity of the song in it.
oooh this brings me back, because it was the first pokemon game for me and i just love all these snow/winter themes they do. I love the game, i love the musik...yas, memories, i feel old now
I don’t know how you aren’t more famous than you already are, your musical skills are simply outstanding. I honestly think you should be recognized beyond what you already are. Keep up the great work Carlos! Can’t wait for the next Masterpiece!
A fantastic choice of song from a fantastic part in the series! Keep up the excellent quality of your covers and you just keep going far. Love all you do!
Ok so somehow I’ve listened to this dozens of times but never actually watched the video alongside it (or even seen the thumbnail???) so I never realized this was your first ever actual drumkit playing in an arrangement of yours??? It’s so great??? Watching/listening to you play at 4:11 made me so happy???
Yess! Been waiting for this one. And it's awesome. Thanks so much dude as always, love gen 4 with a passion. I hope remakes will come soon for an amazing throwback.
I hope you get to see snow at some point! (OMG that pun just worked itself out too well!) Also, you might see a redone version of this video appearing on my channel in the next few months.... :)
Now THIS was somethin’ special. I didn’t even think someone could make such an extensive and quality cover of Snowpoint. In all fairness, the “city” doesn’t seem to give a lot for someone to work with, unlike, say, National Park from Johto. However, you somehow made this to be around the same length! Kudos to you for this accomplishment and keep the Pokemon covers rolling because whenever you upload, it makes all the strife of life worthwhile!
Very true, man, there's not a lot of material to go off of in Snowpoint City's original song, so I had to add quite a bit to this myself :) Thank you so much!
