Pokemon Red Music - Silph Company

[stevenh912]

I remember when it took me mad long to find that stupid Card Key

[Yoshifire98]

Sounds much better on YouTube than I remember it sounding coming from my GBC!

[RaytwOST]

@Yoshifire98 Probably because you're not in search of this f'cking Card Key. :P

[TRbakura]

@Yoshifire98 I would assume that you aren't using an old GameBoy as a speaker for your computer, but that's just me.

[MarcGodfather]

soviet russia !

[MeDominateYou]

Reddit:)

[JJH2663]

@MeDominateYou whats that have to do with anything?

[gpmorganThe4th]

I remember when I was playing this at the age of 5, And we could not figure out how to get past this part. So my mom called Nintendo.

Played it again recently and was in and out in five

[AlanKnightCohol]

50 years ago in Roswell new mexico, a MAGNEZONE crashed in the desert and 3 dead ELGYEM were transported to area 51.

[boolengleng]

God this drove me crazy when I was kid. The music, the warp pads, team rocket..

.GAAAHH!!!

[wildgoosespeeder]

Silph co. has one of the most confusing layouts in history! Warp pads fuck you up! I am a man and this messed my my natural sense of direction.

[EvilPanzer]

this reminds me of being rewarded a fucking Lapras for all the ass I kicked throughout silph co

[xXAnarchy70Xx]

yeah...this song always reminds me of the cold war, no idea why, sounds very russian

[sakon203]

ma musique préferé dans pokemon red/blue

[GaxlTheGr8]

I think growing up with these Pokemon soundtracks are the only reason I'll tolerate dubstep. XD I'm such a nerd.

[Wonocva15]

To think Pokemon are so powerful as to stop actual violence from person to person. It actually turns crime syndicates into pokemon battlers, and if you beat them they walk away admitting defeat. Gunshops become places that sell pokemon and bank robberies turn into "Give me all your pokeballs".

Genius? I'd like to think so.

[LyriMetacurl]

@Wonocva15 yeah, it's the Pokémon themselves that really make the rules in that world, they just like to let humans play their silly games. I think something very much like it is possible with sufficiently advanced technology. People should work towards it. Or hope that aliens take over who are like them...

[alexandermadden1987]

Scientist: Enough of your silly games!

Me: Alright bring it on!

[Harleyquinn191]

that guy that said "my pokemon is my slave" or whatever used to piss me off xD

[jhuh24]

the pokemon stadium remix of this is epic! makes you believe that this should have been battle music.

I advise you check out Pokemon Stadium: Poke cup semifinal.

[wolfpackflt670]

@jhuh24 I just beat all the cups a couple weeks ago and i dont remember that music...hmm....

[jhuh24]

@wolfpackflt670 Poke cup semifinal. Though I've listened to it on youtube, and there is a chance that the title is mix up, but that is what it says. If you could recall the tune, it is actually a bit hard to place at first with this, but the part at :21 seconds is played by a deep bass and is constant in the background of the tune. There is also a part (played by horn) that reminds you of the middle age man trainner theme from the g/c/s versions.

[dragonOllie15]

hmm, why do I keep thinking of a kettle at 0:47-0:52 of the music? is it just me?

[TheCorazyCam]

@dragonOllie15 Actually, the excerpt you were referring to... 0:47-0:52, those 5 seconds sound incredibly familiar, and I'm losing my mind trying to figure out where I've heard it before. Any thoughts?

[AuryOtaku]

This sounds like it was taken off a haunted carousel... *shudders with insane face* Me like :D!! It always scared me but loved it nonetheless. I imagine a creepy ballerina spinning off and bowing creepily at :56-:60 :)

[NorseMariner7]

This is an 8-bit masterpiece

[sonicfanornonfan]

@Schilcote mcrolld 2

[sonicfanornonfan]

@Schilcote ran ran ruu!

[SmashedBones]

Holy fucking shit, that Card Key was hard as BALLS to find.

[kaleng123456]

Someone make an epic remix of this epic stuff! 

[bluepickle15]

Does anyone else get critical hits when the enemy has like 5 hp left? :/

[JoeDaPokemonMasta1]

The atmosphere in the song is perfect. :3

[Luciferdesrea]

Gods I remember how AWESOME red and blue were, then they came out with all the others and it just killed it for me.

[OhTheMetal]

Man, I listened to this after listening to Cynthia's B/W theme.

We've come a long way... xDDD

[SSJSonicguy]

Some kind of sick twisted pokémon circus is in town?! :O

[Phenyline]

when i was younger, my friend thought lavender town had scary music . . . this one was the soundtrack of my nightmares . . . reminded me of a circus eww . . . and gary was there laughing at me D:< asshole

[ellienessable]

Nice melody. -w-

[bubbaXzone]

gotta lord the ritarando near the end! Then going back to atempo

[RAIDERSSUCK23]

Scary Song Ever

[TillHawks]

onde i started to play this in the piano and felt awesome.

[purnipity]

I think this song was my favorite part of Pokemon. It was playful. Evil. Awesome.

[AeroRaptorz]

I like the catchy and tempo of this c:

[CrazySushiPerson]

YES!!! I've been humming this song to myself for like 10 years haha

[silverskyesaboveme]

this music gave me nightmares. yikes.

[Brad64LP]

@Schilcote Ness also has buisness so POKEY SHOULD MOVE FASTER!!!

[ZovestaDark]

... >_> I always thought this was one of the more inspiring songs in the game...

[ZERO9725]

The Game Boy games always had the best soundtrack.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

Sounds funhouse-y.

"Oh no, the Joker is doing something evil again! Batman, what are you going to do?!"

[pirateludwig]

@Schilcote Around the mid 30s it kinda does, but other than that, not really.

[charizard8989]

It does sound like evil crowns doing something evil. o_O

[Iwannaplayssbb]

we push little cart!

[caluuseMT]

This building is what made me buy the strategy guide...

[Parachutecc]

When I was 3, I found this music was WAY more scary than the Lavender Town music.

[Toshiya1213]

@Parachutecc Ha ha ha. The Lavender town. Music really freaked me out. But Silph co got me happy.

[hawwy1987]

@Toshiya1213 Really? I loved that song as a kid and still do!

[charizard8989]

I still have Red and blue version, I got that because my friend don't want it anymore and decided to give it to me. And this bring back many childhood memory since my cousin got me interested into Pokemon.

[asilaydyingdg]

I never noticed or even knew it 8 or 10 years ago but thats true, sounds

like polka or kazactchok (ukrania),a little bit

[coniayoconia]

TIKSI BRANCH!

[alternateshadow300]

Sounds like Clown music. Evil Clown music.

[mastergalladetech]

@alternateshadow300 well that would make sense cause clowns are evil

[metaliggy]

Wait, wasn't there a Scientist here that said he was going to "Russian no-man's land"?

[Nachosareyummy]

@metaliggy They never made any reference to a real country in these games.

[metaliggy]

@Nachosareyummy

Really? I remember that clearly, for some reason... I remember being surprised at the reference to the Real World, too.

[Nachosareyummy]

@metaliggy I take that back... I remember them saying something about the moon landing in Pewter city, sorry.

[RandalfElVikingo]

@Nachosareyummy yes he made one about LT. Surge, he is from USA

[agmendelssohn]

A perfect piece for the Mafia Overlord himself, Giovanni.

[GatioTagger]

Man this and Lavender Town use to scare me as a kid

but i still love the classic's

[ThePotatoProductions]

this part of the game reminded me of Die Hard, going through a large building rescuing hostages

[sillyjordacio014]

lol sounds like those suspense movies involving a timer and a bomb rofl.

[sillyjordacio014]

0:56 *bomb explodes* :P

[2224321]

The best music out of any pokemon series.

[japaneseboy47]

i agree with everyone. the music used to scare me, and it still does. 0:52 T_T

[ilovesmashbros]

This music used to scare me when i was 7 playing this game.

[Genesishelllawl]

Probably the best song in the game.

[PwnedDragon]

i think Giovanni is John in italian?

[ToddlerObliterator]

This is actually a really good song, and it holds so many amazing childhood memories.

[aPsychoticWaltz]

thank you so much for uploading - great theme :D

[Mekkkah]

HEIL GIOVANNI

[TigerMouseTeam]

How can Russians be bad guys? They gave us Tetris.

[Guyect]

AND Vodka! you can't forget Vodka!

[AFreakinProblem]

@TigerMouseTeam

And Joseph Stalin...

[chazmann95]

@TigerMouseTeam lol best game XD

[Cyberhamon]

@TigerMouseTeam In Soviet Russia, bad guys can you!

[Whalesdude]

@TigerMouseTeam Tetris is a euphemism for Communism, obviously. I'd be generous with an addictive, fun video game that also subliminally preached Communism if I were Russian.

[Aff01000001]

@TigerMouseTeam Not to mention Vodka!

[warcraftsucks123]

russians the bad guys? well, maybe when you're an american. haha. fucking americans. lol.

russians are creepy.

[differentmoods15]

I always LOVED this song. Even the remake, I've just always been into that kinda haunting, minor beat...

[TheCreator4]

This is the same as the music inside Bowser's castle in the original Super Mario Bros.!! It's just remixed a little.

[Akkrofan]

lol

[AquadiustheHedgehog]

Considering his name is Giovanni, I'd actually say he's more likely to be Italian. =P

But nonetheless, epic song. Always scared me when I was younger.

[TolaMacarino]

The song sounds Russian, and there is a Russian scientist located in the building.

[southsidewiseguy18]

he's like a Don

[AquadiustheHedgehog]

Precisely.

[Stonezorz]

@southsidewiseguy18

like a boss

[GamerBoy53]

@AquadiustheHedgehog: You must have kept your volume off for Lavender Town. It's a lot creepier.

[AquadiustheHedgehog]

@GamerBoy53: Nope, I just ran into a building before it finished with the jingling part. =P

I still find Silph Co. much scarier, though. Partially because you're forced to stay in there as you find all of these people scared at being held hostage and whatnot.

[armandoduck]

@AquadiustheHedgehog thats because team rocket is based off the mafia

so of course the boss would have to have an italian name

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@armandoduck *ahem*

his name is Sakaki in the Japanese version.

>_>

[armandoduck]

@TheMostBleedingHeart jp version has jp mafia?

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@armandoduck yes,based on Yakuza.

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@AquadiustheHedgehog ......or more likely to be Japanese,since hes known as Sakaki in the Japanese versions >_>

[AquadiustheHedgehog]

@TheMostBleedingHeart I wouldn't really say that him having a Japanese name in the Japanese versions argues anything for his nationality. Certainly not his nationality in the localized versions. Characters' nationalities can change when games are localized (like Klavier Gavin from Apollo Justice).

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@AquadiustheHedgehog ...yes it does.

localisers did not create the game >_>

so it doesnt count,even if its the official English version.

ok?>

[AquadiustheHedgehog]

@TheMostBleedingHeart No, not okay, but if you're going to talk down to me it doesn't seem like this is an argument worth having.

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@AquadiustheHedgehog talking down to you?

...when?

jjust because i corrected you,im talking down to you?

o_O

how is that possible?
