I love how this theme has sections that remind me of the music themes for Malie City, the Vast Poni Canyon, the Seafolk Village and to a lesser extent, Paniola Town.
This track takes me to a fantasy country town that just simply does not exist in real life... a town where eastern sands and mystical tales meet the dry, barren charm of the old, wild west... a feeling of nostalgia for a place I've never been... a melody that haunts as much as it soothes... GOD I love this track!!!
I have a weird hypothesis Galar is not close to Kalos like most people think, but is actually west to the Pokémon world's version of South America, near the Antarctic circle. A huge amount of Pokémon are shared in common with Unova, which may imply a nearby stretch of land connecting the obviously northern Unova with the potentially far southern Galar. Deserts usually form west of large mountains and east of cold currents, meaning if we put a large stretch of mountains west of Galar, similar to the Andes, this could explain Galar's patches of desert. I've had this idea for awhile, but I had completely forgotten about this clearly South American inspired part of Galar, which imo backs this up even more!
Amazing theme, swsh on the music side is incredibly underrated even if many acknowledged Bede’s, Marnie’s, and the Gym theme. Random, but thetr were ladders located in front of the brozong, was disappointing that it just led to an item and not another side route to explore. :(
I just heard this again after a long time while playing a Sword nuzlocke and I had no idea this song was from gen 8. I thought it was a theme for a place in Alola, like in the 4th island somewhere.
I am going to be real Alister is kinda just me but with I mask slapped on. I love how they captured how I suck at dealing with strangers and my incredible self doubt. Also... "Crumbs that was ace". Best quote in the game and get this, he says it TWICE.
For some reason, this music sends me back in time to January this year when I came back from holiday and the first thing I did when I came back was load my switch on for this tune, which is ironic as I’m typing this on an iPhone, something I didn’t have then 😂
Fun Fact: There is a Bargain shop in Stow-on-Side which sells uncommon items every day. It's also here you get items related to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in SWSH is you show one to him.
This city was initially planned for Sun and Moon but it was replaced by the little area south of Haina desert. That's why the music sounds so similar to Sun and Moon.
Sooooo!!!! I´ve never played SwoShi but i was listening the OST. When the song of this town began, it instantly ringed a bell in my mind. I don't want to believe i was the only one that got it. So, play this song 'till second 30 and later listen to YMCA by "Village People" til second 26. You'll never listen to this theme the same ever.
I think that this theme really stands out from the other themes, i think it sounds very beautiful and i can hear the song in my head even when i’m not listening to it :)
