Is there any city or route music from Gen VI+ that is actually memorable or that you'd be able to hum without looking it up first?

Is there any city or route music from Gen VI+ that is actually memorable or that you'd be able to hum without looking it up first? The first five generations all have masterpieces and some forgettable tracks, but it seems like the transition to 3D completely got rid of overworld music that stands out.

          Nowhere did anyone say that new music is bad, the only thing we are debating here is how memorable recent music is, not its quality. Not everything has to be a genwar nor has anyone claimed to hold any absolute truths so far.

            An interesting question would be is it less memorable or have we just been exposed less to it?

            I remember most of the Gen 2 soundtrack, but then I've played it for decades and the remakes. I don't remember Gen 7 so well but then I only played it twice.

    Okay, you should have just said you're schizoposting from the beginning. The only time the word "forgettable" was used was in relation to the gs you think I'm defending. Otherwise, after your brain develops some more, maybe you'll be able to understand that something can be good without being memorable (such as one of the Wild Area themes that I remember liking without being able to remember how it sounded) and vice-versa.

        it's almost like that's the point and you're spinning it as if every thread is supposed to be invested with genera vermin like you. No one is insulting your precious little games because forgettable is not a measure of quality. No matter how well composed a movie track is, it'll still be less memorable and catchy than the Super Mario theme.

      The difference here is that it's blatantly false. Gen 5 has greatly complex and hard-to-navigate routes. You're only posting this within the context of OP, which means you're genwarring. OP posted in a vacuum, meaning it's fair discussion because memorability doesn't determine good or bad music, but linearity and easiness to navigate is quite literally the bad way to make a Pokemon route. have a nice day, genwarcuck.

                It has nothing to do with “more people”. It’s a purely subjective thing that varies to each individual person. If you were actually being honest you would just claim everything after Gen 2 is forgettable since far, far, FAR more normies have been exposed to Gen 1 and 2 music than any other gen. Stop trying to backpedal out of your own frick up.

                Well no, that wouldn't make sense. It would make more sense to judge how likely someone would be able to remember something after being exposed to it. If only a hundred people heard a song and all of them hummed it the next day, but millions hum pokemon every day yet hundreds of millions probably played it, it would still be the case that the indie game has more memorABLE music, but Pokemon has more remembered music.

                Because it happens to be OP's opinion that Gen 5- have more memorable tunes. This has zero bearing on if he thinks they are objectively better made music.
                >varies from person to person
                So what? If overall half of the people hearing something remember it compared to another song where a third remembers it, the first song is more memorable. This isn't a hard concept.

                And yet conveniently, you chose Gen 5 as the cut off and not Gen 2 when drastically more people remember Gen 1-2 music. It's almost as if you're just a genwar instigating moron with no standards and just felt like shitting on gens you don't like.

                Again, because you're relying on more total people in that case instead of a higher percentage of people who remember it after hearing it. Stop the circular logic, you already tried this before.

                Slavery is unacceptable anon. Something not being memorable means it's hard to remember it. Some people will still end up remembering it, making it remembered, but not memorable. Just like how some people accepting slavery doesn't make it acceptable.

                It's funny you only mention that now. You didn't even dispute that until now. All you did was say "if one person remembers it it's good lmao". Now that you mention it, I can actually provide proof that a higher percentage remember it. I know you probably hate YouTubers and so do I, but more of them use Gen 5 music in the background, for example. Additionally, there are more uses of Gen 5 music on all social media, including memes, even though less people played it/were exposed to it. Show me where people praise specifically the musical melodies of Gen 6, as it's much rarer. This indicates that it's harder to remember. Even in this thread, no one contested it except for (You).

                Is there any route in Gen V that isn’t utterly linear and easy? Every other gen has challenging and engaging routes with lots of exploration but it seems like in the transition to animate the sprites in Gen V they completely got rid of any level design that stands out.

              Except that wouldn't be true because a catchy tune isn't always the way to go. I happen to like classical music, which you quite literally cannot hum easily because there could be like fifteen separate supporting melodies at once. I still think a piece like that would be superior to the Pokemon title screen theme, but the Pokemon title screen theme is more memorable because of its simple catchy tune. Do you now see how memorability is completely independent to whether a piece of music is actually good?

                Gee it's almost like he also mentioned hum-ability. Maybe I should have elaborated that catchy tunes help with memorability. I'm more likely to remember a pokemon tune than a movie soundtrack that's objectively better composed, for example. It being due to a more catchy and simple tune is just the specific reason this time, but it could be any reason if someone wanted to answer the OP's question. One anon mentioned leitmotifs as a possible solution, but I doubt you even know what those are.

                hum-ability contributes to memorability and is of the explanation that could explain the OP's question. Gens 6+ are more compositional with more going in so it might be harder to remember the base melody, let alone hum it.

    Gen 6 is an outlier because, like the rest of the game, the music is absolute shit and completely forgettable. As everyone in the thread has already pointed out. However gen 7 and 8 have plently of good music. Gen 9s isnt my thing but it also has a lot of fans.

    Gen 7 has some pretty good tunes, but it unfortunately lacks great music for the actual numbered routes outside of the fourth island which has 1 really nice theme (and also Vast Poni Canyon but that's not relevant, I just really like that track). There's some bangers in the soundtrack, but it's also a strong showing for Hitomi Sato and I just really like her work. Same reason Gen 5 is great for me and I listen to Nemona's battle themes despite actively avoiding SV. I also think some of it might be sound font choices, I dunno, Gen 6's soundfont is really boring while DPPt's seems a bit grating to me, even RSE borderline overuses the french horn sound even if it does give the region a musical identity. The actual compositions might be good, especially Gen 3, but what it's actually played on can change a lot.
    Speaking of, I don't know much about music but it feels like Hitomi Sato has a specific motif she keeps bringing back but I can't describe it. Any actual music people get what I'm saying?

    Interesting how you didn't reply to OP, who started the argument in the first place.. I wonder why that is.

    Post-game I would always save and turn my game off in Snowbelle when I was done because I loved the music so much.

    Kalos has the best Pokecenter music. I don’t know what instrument that is, but it was very distinct from all of the previous iterations. Softer, more relaxed.

    I don't think it's because the music got worse but rather a sizeable amount of us played less and less after Gen 4/5/6. Does that sound correct?

    Other gens have some great stuff too, but gen IV had the best route themes overall because it's not all orchestral stuff

    Kalos has Laverre
    Alola has its main theme
    Galar has the gym leader theme
    Can't really think of anything from Paldea

      Keep in mind that these are the ones I consider "memorable" not because *I* remember them, but because they were used so much across the franchise as a whole during their generations, such as the anime and promotional media, that it was basically impossible to follow the franchise at the time and NOT know those melodies.

      Does Paldean have something like that?

        Paldea used the last gym leader theme in its trailers a lot.

    This one is deeply ingrained in my brain. Might be because of the anime, they played a remix of it as the general sad/somber theme.

    Alola music felt great coming off of Kalos music and Paldea music felt great coming off of Galar music.

    I've only played BW1&2 once and remember this theme very well.

    I've never played anything after ORAS so this is hard, but I guess there's that cave theme from Sworshiel that sounds like shitty terraria music.
