I love how well the artwork melds with the softer tone of the remix, Makes it feel like opening a fresh bottle of lemonade on a summer's day

I'm currently writing a fic on AO3 and think this theme would be perfect for a certain scene. Would it be Ok if I use it when I write that part of the story? I'll fully credit you and link the video

Nice work, DarlingJack! You've really transformed the sound of the Gym Leader battle theme in a way that's fresh, fun, and cute! The instrumentation really adds a touch of playfulness to the theme, transforming it from a piece that's bold and slick into something upbeat and lighthearted. I really love the synth you're using for the lead melody (the part that's usually sung by the crowd vocals), and that portamento effect works especially well with those big note jumps. The harmonies are nicely done, too as well as all the subtle flourishes, like those quick runs at 0:59 - those sound so nice! The bass has a great rhythm and drive to it, too, and it can be heard well throughout, even on smaller speakers. And my goodness, that slap bass at 1:28 - too good! It feels like a hallmark feature of the song, and I'm stoked that you included it in your remix! ^_^ As usual, fantastic work with the percussive elements! The drums are bright and punchy, and the use of different cymbals really ties it all together, with the crashes, open, and closed hats. The articulation in the drums needs to be mentioned, as well, with the variety of velocities used for emphasis on certain notes. Also, I have to mention that the way you had your remix end in a manner that's parallel to the original is just perfection. I was truly amazed when I realized that the Gym Leader Battle theme is programmed to end with that resolute finish after the last Pokemon has been knocked out, and the way you arranged it here is an amazing reference to that! I feel that this piece is going to pick up a lot of steam, and very soon. Although I unfortunately couldn't make the premiere, I feel lucky to be part of the "here before this blew up" club! 😁 For real, though, this was a delight to listen to, and once again, excellent work! 🌟

Thank you for listening as usual! :) I'm glad you liked the instrumetation in this one, I wanted to make it sound more cute than the original so I'm glad to read your comment! I also changed the key from B maj to E maj in order to give make it sound more cheerful. Thank you for talking about the percussions and the bass, since I tried to give it more variety as possible. There are, in fact, 3 different basses (the first appears at 0:13, the second at 0:25 and the slap bass at 1:28, as you mentioned!). Thank you again for your wonderful comment!

Listening to this, I was a little dissapointed that it was just the terrastal theme, but it's a very good remix of that part
