One parent just left, the other died after not interacting with their own kid for years,and no one but a robot copy knew, which then pissed off into a Time Machine on a one way trip. Man, Arvens like a triple orphan

I wish Gamefreak/Nintendo still did combo games like Emerald or Platinum. Imagine playing a combo of Scarlet and Violet where you take on these two in a doubles battle while Arven is breaking down in a corner from twice the trauma.

This was easily the hypest ending to a Pokémon game i've ever played. The whole atmosphere surrounding this fight felt entirely and truly epic. The incredibly intimidating master ball shake and subsequent dropping while they stand 20-30 feet above you. While the track slowly kicks in, I've never been more impressed by an end games writing and set up as much as i was with Violet.

The real surprise about this battle was the villianous motivation. Team Rocket and half of Plasma were power-hungry criminals, sure, but Team Aqua/Magma/Galactic and Chairman Rose wanted to better the world in their own weird way. Even Lusamine was a little crazy because of her husband's disappearance. But Sara/Turo already had their dream come true. And it was hurting people and Pokemon, and they didn't care. That sheer selfishness that even took over and hurt the AI. For the first time in the franchise we weren't fighting just to stop the Big Bad. We were fighting to save someone.

Lillie: My mom are evil. Arven: Hold my Sandwich!

Despite the flaws in this game, the story was amazing with great characters such as Arven and with a phenomenal ending.

You can definitely tell that Toby Fox had a part in this song. Those Guitar riffs are straight outta Hopes and Dreams.

That drawing of the professors it probably what they would have looked like it if we fought them, and not the AIs.

Truly an emotional battle. The ending to Scarlet and Violet was so bittersweet. It was not a HAPPY ending. But it was an ending that signified moving forward. Moving forward from your trauma, your mistakes, your past. An unexpectedly nuanced storyline for Pokemon.

Now I want a DLC double battle option against both professors. With AI teammate being Arven :)

My favorite part of this fight is the little details that go about mostly unnoticed regarding the person you are fighting. In the first phase, Sada/Turo has their trainer class changed to Professor, which appears in the textboxes seen throughout the battle (such as if you hit a super effective or critical hit) where their name is Professor _ instead of AI (unrelated but the face of pure malice they show just before the fight begins is absolutely beautiful). During the second phase after the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over, there is a split second in the frames where the textbox saying who is challenging you changes to Paradise Protection Protocol (which on its own is awesome) that says "AI _ has no intention to fight", which I would never have seen if not for pausing on a video rewatch and going frame by frame. It's such a beautifully crafted scene I loved this game so much. Ridiculously close to being my favorite

Some players have said: "This game is less fun because you didn't save the world, only Paldea". However, in my personal opinion: When you write an ending, what is essential is the crescendo. If the build-up to that final confrontation is not good enough, it ends up feeling bland or disappointing. The battle against the Paradise Protocol is pure perfection. Reaching this point of the story means that you not only became the champion and befriended Nemona as a party member, it means you defeated the Elite 4 and all the gym leaders; it means you defeated all bosses from Team Star and discovered who was their secret Big Boss (also turning them into a party member); it means that you pacified all poke-titans and gathered the five herba-Mystica saving the life of Arven's dog (And so, he also joins). This is the pinnacle, this is the heart of all disasters, this is YOUR moment. Arven finally realized his own potential, Nemona finally found a true rival, and xxxxxx recovered her friends and the trust of the school that almost destroyed her. They finished their stories. This battle is the end of YOUR OWN story. But also, you are rewriting the sad ending for the professors, erasing their ill paradise, and bringing true happiness to everyone. And you can do all that without saving the entire world. Because, sometimes, and just sometimes, to change the world, you just need to start with the man in the mirror~.

what's scarier is that, if you remember, the Professor of the game you play (Regardless of version) have basically mastered and all but cracked the full power of the Tera crystals. So can you just imagine if, as a mechanic, each of the Professor's Pokemon could Terastralize because of the sheer fact that they are close to the core of where the Terastralize energy comes from and the fact that they created and developed the Tera Orbs, but continued to perfect it in secret and didn't get the chance to share it so only 'they' can do that, but you as the Protag, because your tera orb is limited to a single charge, you can only risk going Terastralize on one pokemon so if you pick wrong, your at a massive disadvantage... fighting the full power of the Past or Future, with the unparalleled power of the Terastralize mechanic unleashed without restraint, only your 'friendship' with your Pokemon could match it. Honeslty that would make a really sweet ending that, unless your heavily overleveled or you spam items, the only way to match that level of power the AI professors have is if you use the bond you share with your Pokemon that you journeyed with all over Paldea...

From first entering Area Zero with the "out-of-this-world" music playing, to the slow foreshadowing with each base you visit before getting to the final lab, the heartbreaking truth, the "professor" rising above you & desperately telling you to defeat them for they cannot stop themselves, the battle music, the 2nd phase with you being unable to use your own pokeballs & remembering from all the way back in the beginning that miraidon/koraidon belonged to the professor, your rivals cheering you on in a true "power of friendship" anime type battle, to the professor leaving on a sad but hopeful goodbye..... This ending is my favorite ending to a pokemon game ever. This ending made me tear up when a pokemon game has never been able to do that since Explorers of Sky. It really did take my breath away, I was so invested in every second, and I'm so glad I avoided story spoilers going into it!

The CHILLS this fight gave me, i had to pick up my jaw from the floor. Good job Gamefreak, whoever had the idea for this part of the story 100% needs a raise.

人の意志と自然の脅威が混ざった感じがする、これすごいいい

Sword and Shield wished it could have made a finale as organic as this one. Proper setup, no random monster coming in with no buildup. A villain character you actually talked to the whole game and not for like 2 scenes. Thank God we are past the dark ages of pokemon in terms of story.

The alternate universe where they aren't divorced

The fact that toby fox was part of this, doesn't surprise me, but makes me proud. LET'S GO!!

I'll never be over this ending. Just a tear jerker, edge of your seat ending with the professor, an all out battle where you pray you have the type matches in your champion team, and then the very last battle with the legendary...a wonderful crescendo. Such a good game

Imagining having to do a double battle with these two

Both of them hit the Ghetsis pose. Turo hit's the splash art pose and Sada hit's the BW1 battle sprite pose. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

The true power couple

OK but this composition is insane for a number of reasons. Maintaining the A theme structure of the backdrop 1/3 structured staccato piano throughout the piece maintains the whimsical nature that these professors started their journey into. The hard driving guitar and 1, 2, triple create a sense of tension lifting the battle, the techno variants play fantastically off of the futuristic themes and the drums create a primal take making this effective for both story lines, and of course, it can't be forgotten that by switching from a minor to a major this takes the tension and resolves it in a heroic manner befitting of your character truly saving the day. Brilliant.

Man, you can hear how painful this battle is. Like you went on this journey with your best friend and then the ending just hits you. It’s not the ending you wanted. It was dark and what you needed. I’ve never teared up at a Pokemon game but man this ending had me close.

This game's ending actually made me cry, and I loved it. This fight had me sweating, especially with this banger of a track. The game has its hiccups, but its story was great.

Toby Fox blessed our ears with another song we’ll never forget. Despite the bugs and frame rate issues, this was a great game with an amazing story. Thank you Game Freak and Pokémon Company

this end game was truly phenomenal. a twist antagonist of sorts that was well executed, and a compelling one at that. they were good "villains" not for any scheme or evil purpose, they were just pursuing their dreams and never realized the repercussions. (debatably) good people, who made mistakes

未来、古代、そして現代を表したような曲… SVで一番好きな曲😊

ポケモンって本当に色々な国の方に愛されてるんだなって改めて思えるコメント欄

Imagine of what role they would be in the pokemon Anime

😮 This was sooo epic, dropping Master Balls and unleashing the Paradox Pokémon, Roaring Moon was a thing of pure beauty.

Anyone else feel bad for the professor? They had been locked up, waiting for someone to defeat them just to close the portal once and for all. I never thought I would say this, but this had an emotional touch to its ending. Well done gamefreak.

The whole concept around area zero is amazing. A misty area shrouded in mystery, where time is meaningless and creatures from the past and the future collide, all put into power by a professor who meant well, but who has long since died and their creation has gone out of control, with only their ghost in the form of an AI being the only thing left of them. And you're the only person who can put a stop to it.

God I’m getting chills just listening to this. By far the best story we’ve had in a Pokémon game yet imo

Once Miraidon started pulsating and vibrating in my hands as if it was trying to force its way out of the pokeball, that's what made me realize that this is more than just your average pokemon game

Honestly, after beating the game, I think GF prioritized incredibly well with this game. They aren't given enough time to work on these, so they clearly focused on making absolutely certain the the things you can't just fix later were the best they could be. Graphics can be repaired; core mechanics, story, and music cannot.

Seeing the art there makes me imagine a double battle with a paradox version of yourself versus both the professors

最高の音源と最高の曲調でいいねえ

Man I swear to God when I took my final starter and this Boss music kicked in it was a lit battle fighting Professor Sada was quite frankly the best

Remember these two died saving Koraidon / Miraidon... Imagine fighting the REAL professors and not just the AI... Hell a double battle with them AND the AI would be so cool

I’m not sure if it because of the way it sounds or the buildup to the bass drop, but this theme gives me *really* heavy Battle Against a True Hero vibes. Where the Professor isn’t the boss of your game, you’re the boss of theirs. And I love this theme for that.

This battle and the victory Felt Earned. This easily makes the top spot for the best story in Pokemon

言葉に表せないぐらいこのストーリー好きだわ。

I like the way pokemon is going. The last Games were more focused on making the new Features (Dynamax, terastal) a main thing in their storys and that there isnt a Super Evil team with thousands of henchmans which are all beaten by a 10 year old anymore but one Person where you dont instantly now that he is the "antagonist" "pulling the strings from behind" with more simpler goals but interessting ways of archiving them. I hope in the DLC we can learn more about them and what they are/were doing after they time traveled (because for some reason the Book they had is back in the school)

Wild how this became an entirely different game for its last 20 minutes

I'm so happy to have had this be my first official pokemon experience, song goes hard

The professors just casually catching paradox pokemon with a masterball had me shooked

This has Toby's signature all over it.

I hope that Arven learns to cope with his mummy AND daddy issues

Not gonna lie, this is the most fun Pokémon i have ever play. Especially the Professor/AI battle. Man, that Iron Valiant wiped half my team.

Hands down Gen 9 and Legends Arceus has by far the best story finals in all of Pokemon

I wish there was a way I could re-battle them without having to do the game all over again, its the best battle I've been in a long time.

The professors of future and past stand before you, their goals united. With the two of them together, not even the ferocious pokemon of Area Zero could touch them. With the two of them together, their AI assistants grew only more certain that an intervention was needed. As the lifeless bodies of their turn-coat AIs lie beside you, 2 masterballs drop down to reveal Iron Moth and Slither Wing. The Paradise Protection Protocol feeds data to them, numerous strategies and possibilities. The objectivity of the machine combined with the ingenuity of the human. The technology of the future combined with the fury of the past. Please, defeat them. Professor Sada & Professor Turo initiate a battle!

this is one of the best fight music pokemon has ever released

This mashup absolutely enhances the sadness you feel during this end fight. Makes it sound all the more dire that this is the final battle that will end all battles!

this did not need to slap this hard I legit couldn't battle cause I was groovin out to the beat. Like I can't be mad at a boss with this killer of a theme.

We need a secret coop final boss option if you have a friend in your world from the opposite game. Tag Team fight past and future.

i was so hyped when i thought them

The last 5% of Scarlet is the best Pokémon has ever been, and I've played Gen 5. The rest of the game isn't super plot-heavy, but honestly, I don't mind the lower-stakes plot up 'til this point. It fits the type of game SV is. That last 5% tho... God, seeing it for the first time actually gave me chills, it was great. The end goes places you wouldn't expect a Pokémon game to go- Giving the professors a unique twist (Which is kinda foreshadowed since they're the only ones not named after a plant of some kind), the fact that they just straight up killed said professors, the whole AI thing, the entirety of the AI fight, Area Zero as a whole (Helped by Toby Fox a ton), and *this theme.* Everything about Area Zero and beyond is perfection, and while I already loved the game before it, that point easily solidified Scarlet as my favorite Pokémon game just ahead of ORAS. Also, Koraidon is adorable and I love him. Big 'ol lizard puppy. :)

I liked that the final boss actually came after you beat all gyms and the pokemon league and not before

Tremendo tema de jefe, 20/10 god

サビからの盛り上がりめっちゃ良いんよな

Funny, in the very begin, even before we get the game, Pokémon Company said these two where the professors of this gen (like Oak or Birtch) but they actually... . . . . . Clavell is the real professor of this gen.

Game freak went OVERKILL with this song, its SUPER awesome and is probably my favorite pokemon battle theme

Great mashup! I haven’t played the game but I can feel the energy from the themes!

be proud wat you like and wat you want because this is a S tier remixes

I can't stop listening to this theme! It's so good!

This was one of the best themes I’ve heard from the franchise in a while

The beginning is pretty dope, the build up is so nice

I loved Iron Valiant from the start but when it’s the ace Pokémon of the final boss??? Immediately shiny hunted it and put it on the team. So freaking cool. This battle challenged me (somewhat) and it made for a super cool battle. I love the dialogue from characters when you get a crit/super effective (or both!) and they mention it. The professors lines for this were golden.

After the intro sequence, this song gives me nostalgic feelings of music I've heard in games before. The music in Scar/Vi is genuinely some of the best in the series

Holy shit. Why does it go so hard so fast, I love it!

I need a whole hour extension of this version. It slaps so hard!

i like this theme so much. it really gives a strong and chaotic fight vibe.

It's amazing the ending of the game. Although seeing the fanart makes me wonder how the finale would have been like dealing with not just one of them but both at the same time, each with a team of 6 leading into a 12 v 6 situation dealing with both the past and future together. Definitely a fun thought.

I Noticed You Added A Piano In This Mashup. I Love It!

This fight was amazing

banger of a theme💖

It’s crazy I didn’t get to hear this song because my game glitched and the music was drowned out… shame.

already one of my fav themes/remixes.

Such a great fight and the ending made me tear up not gonna lie

The music I hear when both mom and dad decide to ground me.

the best pokemon games it's intense

I absolutely adore that picture, and I know it will never happen, but I'd love if it the DLC let us battle both professors at the same time. The battle against them at the end of the game was challenging, and that's something a lot of players have wanted out of Pokemon game for a long time since the gamecube games. Imagine fighting roaring moon and iron valiant at the same time.

This fight goes so crazy ong

Best antagonist song in every pokemon game série I love it

Their poses will never not be iconic

This kinda reminds me of Kingdom Hearts for whatever reason, I like it!

The start of this ost got the same vibe like the theme of thouhou voyage 1970, i love it.

It was be Epic Double Battle with this two professors

They said, "Thirst harder, you little gremlin." And swept your team.

the folks who used to say Oak was the final boss: "ayo hol up"

I love this theme song because it reminds me so much of a FFXIV soundtrack that would play in a raid or maybe a dungeon.

Imagine a dual battle against the two professors while they have their respective paradox pokemon. Pokemon Magenta

Brooo my freaking Koraidon got his confidence back on this fight!

Banger.

Neat mash up.

Toby Fox had me half expecting Flowey to pop out with this jam
