Eizneckam493's video: Pokemon GSC - Battle Trainer Johto - Remix

My second favorite Trainer theme, beaten only by the RBY original. I really like how the first 45 seconds of the song fake you out by making you think it's going to be dark and epic like the RBY theme, only for it to cut to a cheerful orchestral song. In addition, this song has an AMAZING use of motifs, as the same melodies are used throughout the song in new and interesting ways. Obviously, it's a bit inspired by the wonderful HGSS remix, but I didn't listen to that while making this to try and give this remix its own identity. A couple of notes (since this is FAR AND AWAY my biggest MIDI ever made; I actually had to do some trickery to fit it through SolMiRe): - The main line at 0:12 really should be something other than a saxophone, but I ran out of ideas. It still sounds nice. - That koto at 0:23 didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Oh well. - I am super happy with how 0:54 sounds; however, I just couldn't get the strings bassline at 0:57 to sound at all. Looking back at it - I should have made it an octave higher. - The rest of the song after that, though, I am very pleased with. I don't own Pokemon, it belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, and Pokemon Company, etc. Original MIDI at https://onlinesequencer.net/1738381. This song always makes me think of those smug-looking Ace Trainers (or COOLTRAINERS as they were called in GSC), so I just had to use them for the thumbnail.
