PAX Pokemon League

After going through Black 2 and getting started on the Pokemon World Tournament, I noticed they brought back all the old battle themes for each region's gym leaders / champion. I got curious and started thinking back to what my favorite battle theme was and ended up choosing Cynthia's from DPPt.

Its just so hectic after that quiet build up at the beginning, I love it. Probably beat that gen's Elite Four more than any other to re-battle Cynthia, just for her theme. So I ask you fellow forum-goers, what's your favorite battle theme from any of the games?

Bonus points for an out-of-combat song too. Mine's Route 209, also from DPPt.

Can I do a fave from each gen? If not, too bad I already posted this.

Gen I:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U8TRpokjtsasy]Gym Leader Battle[/urlasy] - Still one of my favorites in the series. It's kind of a master work of GB composing to me.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYSw3QT8ptkasy]Indigo Plateau[/urlasy] - It was a toss-up between this and Cinnabar Mansion (so creepy!) and I could only find a non-echo version of this one. Very cool and very fitting for the location.

Gen II:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YodHq4iZFcasy]Lance/Red Battle[/urlasy] - I think everyone agrees that this is one of the most epic themes in the games, and I don't even like using the word "epic".
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MNAktk9ei8asy]Ecruteak City[/urlasy] - ; ;
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMzC3RpYHGgasy]Route 42 (among others)[/urlasy] - One of the most upbeat and memorable route themes, at least imo. These were hard because Silver was the first game I played very extensively so everything's nostalgia riddled

Gen III:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyoUVJ95CRgasy]Frontier Brain Battle[/urlasy] - I actually have never played a game with the Battle Frontier but the Emerald music one blows the DPPt one out of the water. Trainer Battle and Steven's battle theme are close seconds.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g-WC9H59uMasy]Mt. Chimney[/urlasy] - I think more than anything RSE did environment music the best.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk50edUrWWkasy]Team Aqua/Magma Hideout[/urlasy] - So suave~
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-GFw4iODbMasy]Sootopolis City[/urlasy] - It's really catchy, even if Sootopolis was a dumb town that you had to Dive to get to.

Gen IV:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emWKNe-yWQ0asy]Rival Battle[/urlasy] - Since Cynthia's battle theme is taken and because I always like to imagine the rival from these games just bouncing up and down to the tune of this song. (for best effect watch my signature while listening to this)
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r2j54GCiEwasy]Team Galactic Hideout[/urlasy] - It's hectic, silly and ridiculous: all the things Team Galactic is!

Gen V:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp3FtEaV7tQasy]Team Plasma Battle[/urlasy] - Black/White has tons of good battle musics but Plasma has always stood out to me for overbearing it felt. Also I kind of hate the remix of it in BW2, even if it does fit their new direction a bit better.
[spoilerasy][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLQF7uBZ0zEasy]N's Castle Bridge[/urlasy] - N's such a fun character and aaaaaaaa, N feels[/spoilerasy]

... sorry if I took some that other people wanted to post. But I had fun with this c:

Ooh, I never heard the Frontier Battle one before. I really dig it! Another honorable mention for me, as far as city themes go, is Lavender Town. For being spooky and so different from all the other cities.

Gold and Silver has always had my favorite [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_Gi2FoJaowknx]wild battle music[/urlknx], and the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsS28FHAAbAknx]HeartGold/SoulSilver version[/urlknx] is a pretty great upgrade to it. I really like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K4_aSOexfUknx]Black/White's Gym Leader Theme[/urlknx] too. One of my favorites in a long time for Gym Leader music. =3

Also, they may not be from the games but I'd feel bad not including [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtTkgvASVHcknx]these[/urlknx] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02t0esGIwYsknx]three[/urlknx] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkMfBgWi60Mknx]songs[/urlknx] in a thread about awesome Pokemon music. =P

'nuff said.

Oh man, can't bring up Mystery Dungeon music without adding this one in.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkUfYfWOORQdkp]The New Bark Town theme[/urldkp] is amazing.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqnpvyUPXUMdkp]The Battle Subway[/urldkp] is even better.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6jqVeYyka8dkp]The Elite 4 in Gen V[/urldkp] is my favorite Elite 4 theme.

My favorite, however, is the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJJ-QkZ8cMdkp]Lavender Town[/urldkp] music. [bdkp][idkp]STILL CREEPY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS[/idkp][/bdkp].

NECROTHREAD NO JUTSU! *random explosion*

I, sadly, don't remember my time with 1st through 3rd generations enough to pick out my favorite themes, but here's mine from 4th and 5th:

#1 favorite from 4th gen is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjOQtxvhUnM3yq]Team Galactic Battle[/url3yq]. I used to have that generation's gym leader theme as my favorite, at least until 5th, but the battle theme for Team Galactic still stands out for me. My favorite songs from video games have by default been ones that accurately fit where in the game they're put, and Galactic's theme fits their unabashedly evil plots and designs in that generation, what with Cyrus trying to remake the world in his image and all that.

From 5th gen, there are a few: Team Plasma Battle was already brought up, and is on my list as well, but mine also includes the battle themes for the gym leaders and your rival in B2W2, Hugh. 5th's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K4_aSOexfU3yq]Gym Leader Battle[/url3yq] theme has always seemed to bring to mind the image of pitting yourself against a great challenge, and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IsUgt0MNmP4#t=45s3yq]Hugh's battle theme[/url3yq] fits his personality well: Rash, unapologetic, and always looking to show off his strength.

EDIT: Links ahoy! Also, "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fWA_SX3Eaw3yq]Victory Is Right Before Your Eyes![/url3yq]" from 5th earns honorable mention. Much like how I like the gym leader theme for conveying a great challenge, this one conveys triumph over the challenge.
