The picture goes with this song so well. When I was a kid, Sapphire was the first Pokemon game I owned, and I picked Mudkip as my starter. I got really attached to him, and he evolved into the best Swampert I've ever had. I had no idea about stats back then, but I wish I still had him so I could move him to a newer game and check his IV's. I lent the game to a friend, and her brother deleted my file. I still think about that Swampert :\

Please never delete this. It’s one of my most favorite comfort songs.

Honestly, I am literally in pain listening to this because of the high level of nostalgia.

I absolutely love this theme from Hoenn. This for me is the most nostalgic track from the region and I have wanted to do an arrangement of it for ages! I hope you enjoy and be sure to like and subscribe for more of my arrangements and orchestrations! :D

I love how this music soothes yet also has that tiny despair and sorrow elements

Thank you. Emerald was the very first video game I asked my parents to buy. Hearing this brings back so many good memories, I almost cried. Thank you.

i know you probably wont see this but this is one of if not my single favorite music pieces of all time.

Still criminal of how underrated it is.

ive already made i comment on this but i want you to know just what this really means to me. when i was a child i had a joyous child like sense of wonder adventure and amazement when i played pokemon ruby. when i first got the game i was more happy than almost any other time in my life. the game filled so much in my life from the exploration and grandeur of the world i loved so much (and it wasnt the real world lol) to the since of strength and accomplishment (from clicking flamethrower a billion times on one pokemon the whole way xd). i dont have that child like since of wonder anymore i know ALOOOT about the world know and how the human race works and its alot like the upgrade go back meme. but i do have a burning unstoppable desire for excellence and this music piece is FAR beyond excellent and if i could be even 1/8 the musician you are (or were at the time idk how things are now havent checked) i would be over joyed. this music piece is far more than just a song to me. its a reminder of my child hood (in a good way) and what life can really be and a cause for hope for the future and who knows maybe even if i cant have that life my kids will have it :D. but its still even more than that. people nowa days barely put any effort into anything and it litterrally makes me physically sick but knowing a music piece like this exists means and reminds me that there are other people out there who strive for excellence wholeheartedly and that means basicly everything to me. even if somehow you made this halfheartedly or didnt even try (frankly i wouldnt want to know that) it still means all that to me. things like these are more valuable to me than any amount of money and i sincerely mean that and i sincerely thank you. have a nice day :D

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

When good music hits your nostalgia button. It's just a different type of feeling.

When everyone is talking about the Abandoned Ship but not about your Faraway Island *sad fetus kitty noises*

This is the best version of this song I've heard, it really does sound like an event that happened in the past, beautiful song.

This is the one remix ive heard that gets it right, intrigue, some mystery, not some end game fight

Literal chills trough the whole song. Still hell of a masterpiece

Thank you for making this.

I love how soothing it is at the beginning...I love the way it builds...you really captured the sense of mystery well.

Wow... I don't even associate that much nostalgia with the original song, but this is a masterpiece. I literally got chills at 1:33 during my first listen through. Listening to this song was one of the best auditory experiences I've ever felt. I'm stunned. Everything about this arrangement is perfect. 2:58 is the icing on the cake. This honestly might be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. I love how each portion of the song has a different feel to it. Suspense and power followed by delicacy. I can't remember the last time I felt this listening to a piece.

The build up is absolutely mesmerising. Way back during the RSE days, kid me always felt Southern Island and Faraway Islands mystique, along with the eeriness of the Abandoned Ship/SS Cactus back then too, same with Sea Mauville in ORAS that all these themes area based off. This combines each one’s magic within an epic arrangement 👏👏👏 The chills at 1:33 though! Bravo!

Perfection

Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts... all dreams are but another reality. Never forget...

I agree with @JohnFerrieMusic about the song being the most nostalgic theme of the whole playlist and the way he arranged it gives us a new perspective to it's enviroment. I love the introduction, with violins playing gently to the sound of a silent harp and waves soaring over the surface. It reminds me of my silent times by the shores, where I feel nothing but calmness. There is also the progression. The volyme rises with new instruments coming with the ride. I even enjoy the bells, it gives me the image of large ships. I think it should includes my perspectives for this theme. I enjoyed it with my heart and wont stop listening to it. Keep up the good work.

I didn't grow up with these games even though I grew up with people around them. I just couldn't keep up with Pokémon due to fatigue. In 1999, Pokémon Red & Blue released in Europe. A year later, Yellow released. In 2001, Gold, Silver and Crystal were released. It took me a while to put Blue aside to even give Gold a go, but when I did I fell in love with it, but before I knew it, it was 2003 and there were more Pokémon games. Ruby & Sapphire. I couldn't keep up and I just wanted to move on. About a decade and a half later I finally gave the Hoenn games a go, and you know what? For a reboot of the series, they really are quite genuine, heartfelt games. They really tried to recreate the world of Pokémon for a new era and the music is fantastic. I felt a sense of second-hand nostalgia from listening to some of the tracks and you've really cranked it up to 11 here. This is a great rendition of the Abandoned Ship theme

Here is where the men cry?

That one moment when you're about to die from a lack of oxygen after spending hours under the water without proper equipment:

Wow. Just wow. Tbh this made me tear up a little. Even the art is spot on. Mudkip was my first Pokémon.

Been enjoying this song for a while now, but im glad its recieving more popularity.

The Pokemon games are definitely right up there among humanity's greatest achievements

This is really something special. This was the first game that I ever played, and to this day, it's easily one of my favorites of all time. Thank you for making this piece, it brings back a lot of memories :)

This is so wonderful. It has been a profound source of inspiration to me, and I use this as the theme of a beautiful place in the story I am writing, when I write. I guess I never commented anything even though I've been listening to this for years. But, you may be the first person who has not only remastered one of the pieces of music of my childhood perfectly, but far, far transcended the beauty even of the original piece. I usually just hope for faithful remasters, made with better sound software than the original creators had at their disposal, but this is on another level than even the best remasters. This really is something special... thank you. This theme is the main theme that reminds me of Hoenn, and first playing Pokemon Sapphire 10+ years ago.

You literally used our hearts to play this music, I remember listening to the original soundtrack for the first time and comparing between Gen1,2 to Gen3 that was a whole different level, I felt that too many years have passed that led to the point where soundtrack reached that level and that was only 20 years ago 🥲 we are ageing and our memories effect is growing as well

The love I have for this game and the whole franchise. It cannot be summed up in words

At 31 I am playing ruby for the first time. I’m so addicted and can say it’s absolutely a time warp back to my childhood playing blue/red....just losing myself in a world of wonder with not giving a shit about anything else

Completely blown away. You are fantastic!! Please do Meteor Falls!!

It's too beautiful. I really hope my school band could let us play Pokemon bgm.

This gave me massive nostalgia T w T I remember playing Pokemon sapphire for the first time and i really loved the music from abandoned ship T v T Thank you so much for creating such masterpiece ♥ This was truly beautiful and no words can explain how i truly felt towards this ♥!!

This arrangement really hits my nostalgia/childhood spot. the good ol'days. gonna play Emerald again because of this :)

Your arrangements are always a treat to come back to whenever I feel stressed and it helps calm me down so fast, so I wanted to say thank you for doing these!

Man, i cry from happiness and nostalgia. A wonderful theme that gives a hella good vibe in the abandoned ship. Thanks for the remix ^^

That beginning part is so calming, it really is beautiful, reminds me of the times I used to play Emerald so much, thank you.

I love it... Thank you for arranging this piece, you did very well! :D When i first heard this soundtrack in game, i immediately thought: Ah wow, if there would be an orchestrated version of this.. and now i'm listening to it! hehe

BRO THESE ORCHESTRATED SONGS ARE TOOO GOOD!!1!1!!!

This has made a theme that I hate into something I admire.

that intro is one of a kind... really enjoyed this!

Finally, i couldn't wait till you tackled this piece...And boy..was it worth the wait! Thank you for this awesome wake up call!

i listen to this all the time, especially when studying or when i just need to calm down. it's absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for posting it!

Wow, you nailed this. I think I missed the Abandoned Ship until after the Elite Four on my first playthrough - you sail past it with Mr. Briney at the start of the game, but I forgot to go back until later so I guess it always had a sense of mystery, and hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

You don't know how great this is to me I loved the sea Mauville Theme back then and this makes me appreciate it more. Best remixed version of the theme

This is my child hood. I played this game first when I was in third grade. This is my favourite song from this game because it's so relaxing and beautiful. You are truly amazing, thank you for this masterpiece! You absolutely should have more subscribers.

thanks buddy, u have no idea how happy it makes me to hear this, it's exactly like going back to those days, we weren't aware of what we were experiencing back then, thank u very much for making me listen to this masterpiece again

i cant live the experience of be in southisland( latios insland). when i lived this event since emulator was amazing. i always play whit other songs but this event i want live with everything. and when i was walking in southisland and readed the message "IF YOU DOESNT WANT FORGET YOUR MEMORIES, SAVE THIS IN YOUR HEART". was the best momento of this adventure :,)

Amazing rearrangement. Pure gold! Thanks for creating this and uploading it.

"wandering is a terrible sin..."

so relaxing. dude, that hits the feels man, the spot.

I never thought of this song as that great till pokeremixstudio had one and i fell in love with it. I love this one too. Beautiful

6 people didn't find TM13 Ice Beam Edit: If it actually is Numbered 13, I forgot :3

I like the Big Mudkip you featured in the art. :)

This arrangement is amazing!! Thank you for making this. It’s so crazy I can picture swimming around underwater, and it all looks like it does in the picture in the video. Not with the visuals of the game but how I pictured it in my head. This was a joy to listen to :)

Really one of your best pieces! Thanks for making it, it's really calming and gives me the feeling of: 'This here is a mysterious place where now peace rules and I'm just walking and surfing through it' :D

PERFECT THEME.... VERY BEAUTIFUL..

I get chills all over while listening to this. Absolutely beautiful.

Its intersting how on point the artist seems to be about drawing monsters, but collectively as a species we all seem to be up the creek when it comes to human faces Oh well, at least the music reminded me of DK64

Omgggg this is so beautiful, THANKS for making so good music 💚

I love this, such a brilliant piece of music.

So majestic, and elegant, it can really put someone's mind at ease, good job! 👍👍

It’s been a long time since a song has truly taken me on a journey, and this has been doing that ever since I found it. I don’t know how long I’ve been listening to this version, but it really puts me in a good headspace. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I would love to see this performed live someday.

This song is terrifyingly beautiful. It's...terriful.

This is incredible work! well done! the best orchestral pokemon theme ever!

I did not know my nostalgia for this song until the first few seconds of this video.

I gonna cry if I swin in the deep ocean and the abandon ship, NOT SO DEEPEST

Absolutely love this

Estou revisitando o universo de Pokémon e recomecei pelo 3ds mais especificamente pelo Pokémon X, atualmente estou jogando o ORAS com uns amigos e chegamos nessa parte do jogo e no momento que escutei a musica do abandoned ship eu fui transportado para anos atrás. Muito bom voltar a esse mundo depois de adulto

I joined the Pokemon community a bit late, I think late 2017. My first game was Crystal, emulated on a school Chromebook without sound (unfortunately the website no longer exists), but later that year I found out about this other website (matthewbauer, it's blocked at school now though) that could emulate basically anything from NES, SNES, and GBA. I eventually tried out Pokemon Ruby, and now that I brought earbuds to school, I could actually listen to the music. Not only is this song nostalgic of that time, but some parts remind me of the Wall-E soundtrack - I watched that movie dozens of times as a child. Good memories all around.

Just closed your eyes and feel the magic of pkmn.

10/10 picture and song

This truly is beautiful *sniff* Thanks for the amazing music

interest in Absol's power to predict crises is on the rise. so one ought to be grateful for it.

This literally sounds like it belongs in Xenoblade. A perfect remix. Thank you.

it still feels funny how a 10 year old can hold his/her breath for like forever

I will find a way to cram this into a tabletop rpg thing somehow as I do with all good music (just need the right place)

Thank God I grew up with DS Pokemon.

I walked into this ship in Pokémon not knowing that it would be horribly sad to look at the notes that that child left their father... and knowing that this ship sunk... that child's father is most likely dead.

This is so beautiful and also my childhood

I haven't played 3rd gen yet but this song is so amazing! should be one of their best themes!

I remember how I first found this. It was through Google Plus (when it was still around), and I believe it may even have been you who shared it. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised when I first listened to it. It’s _still_ gorgeous!

This is really good!

RIP jerry the swampert :( you will be missed

I love listening to this its very relaxing but at the same time the mystery makes me slightly anxious...

This is awesome man thank you!

I'm not c-crying from good memories, y-you are..

really beautiful remix

I agree with the others, this is absolutely gorgeous

Underrated channel over here! Subbed man keep up the good work :)

This sounds like an overworld theme on Sonic Generations! And dang it, you can't deny they sound pretty good!

🎶This is beautiful.🎶

Master piece wow congratulation
