Rush: Is this a game, cartoon or anime orchestration? Me: How about all three?

The partners. The experiences. The adventures. The memories. The Pokemon.

You know, I just realized why Rush's orchestrations are so special (at least to me). He's a fan of everything he makes. He knows why people likes the things he likes, and he knows how to emphasize that with music. Keep doing you, Rush. Seriously!

I’m not gonna talk about how good it is because you’ve heard that a million times as well as the, “You’ve helped me through some tough times my guy”, thing that people say, even if it is true. What I will say is I’ve never made music. I have no idea whether this was difficult or not to make. But what I do know is that if I was still a child and listened to this, it would blow my goddamned mind! You’ve made my day. And I’m sure you’ve made millions others as well. Thanks for being you.

Waking up at 5:30AM for Rush's orchestration never felt better. Looks like my day is set!

3:40 POKEMON! it’s you and me, I know it’s my destiny. POKEMON! You’re my best friend in a world we must defend!

Holy crap, this almost makes me want to get up at 7 in the morning to see this. Almost.

Imagine Rush doing an orchestration of Cynthia’s theme

LAVENDER TOWN THEME WHEN

You know, it truly is the little things that mean the most. I just clicked on this to listen to for the first time and the chime at the beginning was enough to make me stop the whole video. Hearing that chime that went along with "The Pokemon Company" logo is such a nostalgic sound. It brings back so many memories of Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness that im happy before even getting to the music. Thank you Rush for what you make and what you will continue to produce.

Coming back to this after Ash becomes the Pokemon World Champion makes this orchestration even better. Everything that Ash has experienced, from his losses in the tournaments of the first 6 regions to his win as Alola's champion, this song really feels like a true celebration that Ash has finally achieved his dream, and is truly the very best, like no one ever was.

Section at 3:40 I swear gave my brain goosebumps. You are so insanely talented. Please don't ever stop making music. The world needs more of your orchestrations!

The premiere is at 2AM for me and I'm sorry for my future self.

I'll be honest. I was watching many people's covers of Acacia on YT. One of my favorite songs. I saw this with many other covers. But for some reason, my brain thought not to watch this, probably because of the minimalistic thumbnail. And I actually regret not watching this before when I saw it. When I finally watched it, NGL I was completely shaken by the musical beauty of this cover. Especially the 3:40 part when I heard the 1st dub OP, the song I grew up with, one of my favorites of all time. It came outta nowhere. This was so unexpected that it made me have goosebumps all the way through. The memories... I am going to subscribe to you, but I don't think I can do any less. You're criminally underrated. All I gotta say is that: *Never judge a video by its thumbnail.*

3:40 is wildly good. Elevates the energy of the track like crazy.

Finds out I passed the bar exam today. This piece accurately reflects my emotions.

I'm so pumped!! I've literally listened to the BUMP OF CHICKEN song like 5 separate times today. It's SO good, and now I'm going to get to hear an orchestration of it by Rush Garcia?!

3:40 that pokemon intro part went nuts.

Haven't even heard anything, but know this will be awesome

Can’t wait to hear it, once again I will update you on my opinions after I’ve heard it. Update: It both made me feel very nostalgic, and also filled with a sense of jamais vu. It just filled me with that old nostalgic feeling wanting to go out and find Pokémon, even if they didn’t really exist. Go out into my woods searching for celeby, go to my towns cemetery looking for haunter. While at the same time it feels like a totally unique piece, something that I’m not familiar with at all, even though I know it shouldn’t feel that way. Like even the part where the theme blatantly comes boring out, it really didn’t feel like a Pokémon orchestration. It was a super unique listen. I really loved it 11/10 Pokémon was my childhood

I'm old enough that I've played on every Pokemon generation (starting with Yellow on Gameboy Color, both my first game and my first console) without having to rely on emulation. That song just hit me very hard in the feels, in a good way though. But hey, I came prepared for that to happen : it's a Rush orchestration after all. As always, very well played sir. Hats off to you.

Starts Light and Jaunty, then somewhat serious. AND THEN THAT INTRO HITS AND WE RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET ON AN ARCANINE!!

Hey Rush, I just wanted to congratulate you and give my thanks for your exquisite yet elegantly refined covers and original works. I have been with your channel and listened to your work since you only had 35k subscribers, and I am proud to be with you and everyone for this long. I hope you always strive for better, and continue mastering your incredible gift. Congratulations on 200k subscribers, Rush.

I thought why was this cover 5 mins long, since the original was about 3 mins. Well after listening to the whole thing I'm firmly believe I don't deserve all 5 mins of this amazing art. Also Rush, when are we getting a full on Pokemon Theme cover?

I recently got back into listening to Acacia and have been on a binge with any and all content having to do with the Gotcha! music video. The nostalgia I feel every time I watch the video and listen to the music sucker punches me without fail. This orchestration is breathtaking rendition of Acacia and I'm immediately thrown back to how I felt when beating Cynthia in Diamond for the first time. Back to when I defeated Red on the top of Mt. Silver. So many memories made from a franchise about capturing small pocket monsters. This is a beautiful work of art and I'll be returning to listen to this on repeat for many weeks to come.

I love how you added a bit of Gotta Catch Em All to it! It fit so well and gave me chills!

every good and bad fight I've had, every adventure I experienced, every triumph and loss. Pokemon taught me to keep my head up and look forward from a young age and is why I'm here to say this today. Thanks for letting me suddenly flashback through every joy and sorrow me and my friends shared for the last 15 years since I first tried Pokemon Yellow and started to really try to live.

So... I stayed up till 5.30am to watch this... Just finished my second run through of it... and it was TOTALLY WORTH ITTTT... Rush... Thank you for this amazing piece... As a longtime Pokemon Fan who loved the meaning behind the original Acacia... You captured it perfectly here... Keep making the amazing content that you do man...

even years later, the adrenaline rush when the of theme comes is unmatched

This is truly the best! Thank you for blessing my ears once again!

神アレンジすぎる…感動した

Man, this song fills me with so much nostalgia. Love your work, and keep it up!

This is absolutely amazing. You captured that wonderful feeling of childhood adventure all over again. It gave me chills. Thank you for constantly making such amazing pieces and good luck on the next ones!

I've been hyped about this for about a week and a half. I love this song, and I love how you've made it sound. Great job as always Rush! I'll be listening to this about 20 times today, cheers.

You never ever cease to not give me goosebumps, you also never lose the initial amazing sound of the song you cover, yet you find ways to emphasize it, embolden it, so as we always say, keep it up man!

I am so excited to hear this, I love your work Rush Garcia

This brings me joy. From the first hit that sounds like happy sparkles all the way to the end- Pure serotonin and other happy chemicals

That was a magical experience. Well done, and amazing job as always, dude. I hope your passion for music never falters, and look forward to what you have in store for us in the future, while at the same time being incredibly grateful for all these orchestrations you've already graced us with in the present and past. Thank you for this beautiful orchestration!

Sounds amazing!!! I love your orchestrations so much omg! 💜

wow. just wow. all of your work is amazing, i’ve been listening to it nonstop.

Absolutely incredible dude! I love this, it's so well done. Thank you!

You're music always opens a new world to me in a beautiful way. I've been born to love music and for a while i was disconected due to real life events. But when i found my way back to music i found so many creators like you who creted beautiful songs that inspire me. And i am greatful for that, so thank you for all of this amazing work that you do, i love all of your art and you inspire me everyday. Thank you!

Honestly i don't know how i never found your channel sooner but every single song is making me overwhelm with emotion.

This needs more views, more likes, more shares!! Absolutely phenomenal!!! Amazing work!!

I legit LOVE how you incorporated the POKEMON GOTTA CATCH EM ALL bit in there! Really well done and this is just beautiful

I like to imagine I'm flying at night when the stars are clear and there are a few clouds in the sky. Everytime I get goosebumps.

What I felt while listening to this song is something that words just aren't enough to describe (but I'll try anyways). It reminded of all the great times I've had with not only pokemon, but all the cartoons, games, everthing that made me who I am today. It's a feeling I haven't felt in a while but it never fails to bring me to tears, it's magical. Thank you, truly.

Your work is always amazing. Even with songs I think wouldn't sound good with an orchestra, you always make it sound good. Thank you for putting your hard work and time into what you do.

I've been waiting for this as soon as I saw the comment on that video. I've never been so excited to listen to something in awhile.

Ah! My heart just burst with joy hearing this. I literally stood up and began dancing around and singing the lyrics. It just brought back so many good memories.

I just got goosebumps, this brought tears to my eyes, thank you.

Now this is the kind of content I aspire to make. You're an inspiration dude!

WAS WAITING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I SAW YOUR COMMENT ON THE MV! AWESOME ORCHESTRATION ONCE AGAIN!

It's been a while since I last felt goosebumps. Good job, I like most of your works! I wish I could listen to your music in a real concert.

its so beautiful to hear this again. shed a little bit of tear while listening. galing mo rush

Rush you never disappoint with your beautiful orchestra music

This is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes and I sure didn't expect that

I can't say this enough but you always have the right song for the right moment, like an ost, TY so much qwp

Will wait for this. Congrats on 200k sir!

This song is for us, the generation that grew up with this show, we're like no one ever was, and like no ever will be. 10, 20, 30, even 50 years from now I'll be able to here this song, or even most other Pokemon music, and I'll remember growing up with this. Thank you rush, thanks for making such amazing music

Aw man, I'm gonna miss this the premiere. Will listen asap!

Oh... Memories so long gone I had thought they never existed anymore. Just...hearing this made me think of things I couldn't remember, just like...memories that were hiding. I heard this at 6:08 AM with the dawn and it was absolutely the most beautiful mixture of nostalgia and happiness. Thanks Rush, for helping me remember simpler times and things.

I almost cried at the music video for this song lol. Pokémon has always been there for me thanks for making this

i cannot even describe into words of how majestic and wonderful this is

Yoooo, this made me tear up!! Thanks Rush.! As a pokemon fan, I loved this.,.,

HECK- I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M 3 DAYS LATE TO THIS!! THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!

i can imagine the perfect introduction of a pokemon movie in movie theaters

Damn I just found your channel by that dragonwarrior song and I'm so amazed. Very beautuful pieces of music and great "reinvention" of these songs!!!

I already know this will make my day

Bro its beautiful too beautiful

This feels and sounds like a triumphant exaltation of my childhood, thank you

that touch of the main pokemon theme from the show turned this from amazing to one of the greatest covers ever

Lately I’ve been feeling quite empty inside... but this brought back some emotion swelling through my chest and heart. Thanks, Ima cry TvT

As someone who's been playing pokemon since fire red and leaf green, this whole orchestration and the music video it came from hits hard in the nostalgia. I've had the same blastoise transferred through every game for the past 16 years. I still remember transferring her to x&y and petting her for the first time and crying cause I fainaly got to tell her that she was the best girl! She's now on my shield team and I'll continue to transfer her through all future games too!

MAN, I really love your music, I wish one day I will do something as amazing as your compositions.... I admire you, I hope you will be producing for Hollywood or big companies, you deserve it. Keep your amazing work!!!

When I first watched the gotcha video I had unspeakable joy and this just makes it even better thank you

This just made my night 😊

Yesss!!! I’m so excited for this!!!

I saw your comment, so happy you actually made it, this is gonna be a blast, I just know it

Keep it up Rush! Your music is amazing.

If you heard acacia before or not, whatever it will be freaking awesome I can't wait!

I saw this in my recommendations once and added it one of my playlists without listening because I knew it was already going to be good. Oh sweet Arceus I should’ve listened to it, because as I’m listening to my playlist it comes on and within the first couple of seconds I started crying.

The 4 dislikes are Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet

Fun story! I discovered your channel through your comment saying you would do this song in the mv! So happy when I saw you finally posted this but I had enough time to look through all your other music as well!

This was beyond Beautiful

200k subs!!!! Woohhoooo. Also, this is bloody beautiful mate, I lvoe it some much, from some Aussie bloke 🇦🇺

Pokemon has always been a very beautiful part of my childhood. I wasn't rich, neither was I poor, but I experienced so much hardship and confusion where all that lays is a husk of what used to be me. But music, especially those correlating to my past always reminds me that there will be better days, and that this is still the beginning.

most people say "I cried to this" as a joke or not seriously, but I genuinely am saying that this made me tear. It wasn't nostalgia or attachment, it just felt so uplifting compared the bad day that came from a week that is happening. Games, Anime, and Cartoons aside, it was the beautifulness that just felt so great

You deserve a million subscribers right now!

lol. the irony that this came out a day before my birthday xD i love this video

I won’t be able to watch as it premieres but I’m still so excited!!

I didnt expect that sudden change. Literal goosebumps

This was just fantastic

This is amazing!

When the Pokemon theme song came on I got legit c h i l l s Keep up the great work my dude!

This is so good!

OMG!!! I listen to the original one, like, a thousand times and I believe you just made the song better then it was before!!!! This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!😆

Better late than never...it was as expected...a masterpiece.

This is really calming

You even included a bit of the original Pokemon theme 😄 Awesome!
