Dang you went hard on this one. Probably one of the best covers I've heard. Most ppl just do a vanilla cover, but you've made it custom for a full piano. Love the additions you've made here from the Harmony to the rhythmic ostinato, and incorporating elements from the remake's version. Great job!

This is easily the best cover of Red's theme I've seen. It's one thing to make a piano arrangement, it's another to completely capture the intensity of a full on theme when playing it on a single instrument. As a fellow piano player, this is very inspiring

It was a small goal, at first. Something to pass the time. The Gyms had been beaten mostly out of boredom, just to further validate his status as the current champion. But then he started to hear rumors. Rumors of an insanely strong trainer. Someone who had done it all before him. Someone who had done it better. Someone who, like himself, had never lost once. So he prepped his supplies and had his partners healed and then set off on the journey, seeking a good fight. The mountain was harsh and rugged, as expected. There was much terrain that needed to be overcome. But the place was barren. Not a single soul to be found, barring the local wildlife. He was starting to feel a tad discouraged. While the mountain was supposed to be sectioned off from the public and the unskilled, he had expected that there would be more trainers for him to combat against. As time passed as he ascended, his thoughts briefly mulled on the possibility that his desired opponent just simply wasn't here. Then, after reaching the top, he heard a footstep in the snow behind him. "......" He had come for a challenge. He had come for a good fight. He had come unprepared. It was a young man, somewhat older than him. Or at least that's what it looked like. He wasn't sure whether it was the cold in the air around him or his emotions running rampant, but he had a nonstop chill going down his spine from the moment he had laid eyes on him. Something was off. Something wasn't right. The boy looked human, moved just like everyone else, but every fiber of his being was telling him to run from him while he still had the chance to. Something screamed "monster". But he had come for a challenge. Monster or not, this was why he was here. It was time to see if he could beat the legend at his own game. To see if he really deserved the title of "champion". Nervously, with his hands shaking, he reached for his partner's ball. "....." The legend smiled, as if knowing his intentions. The legend reached for his own partner's ball. His hopeless fight for survival began.

Pft.. Rewatched both Lance's theme and this vid multiple times, goosebumps every time again. Thank you for making my all-time favorite video game tune even -better-.

Gen 2 and gen 4 remakes (HG/SS) are the true best generation too tier pokemon games.

Dang. This rang the nostalgia bell hard. Great work!

My favorite Pokémon song of all time. Love this!!!

AMAZING!!! I missed these format of songs in your channel, it was worth the wait

I get chills every time

WOW that was SO GOOD! That's one of my favorite cover of yours thank you !

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME

Crazy good work, as always :) Was really nostalgic for me, I spent a couple hundred hours in Pokemon Gold on my Gameboy as a kid :D

Wow. This is the best piano rendition of this song I've ever heard so it's a surprise it's only got 16k views

Man, that was intense! Excellent work!

The melody of the song is easier to pick out in your arrangement than in Erik's, so at least to me, you won this round of versus.

Never gets old

My single favorite song in pokemon, great job.

Feraligatr, ICE PUNCH!

Awesome! This does not look easy to play at all but you played it really good! Great work :)

I'm gonna set up a sparring tournament and play this during the finals.

Once again, not even 900 views for a masterpiece. Lol that was some top notch stuff. Sell me piano lessons asap

Holy shit, I wasn't expecting this much fire from this theme! Excellent work!

one word, amazing

Daaamn, a few bars in and it's clear you're not messing about, haha! Brilliant cover and performance, really enjoyed it :).

Insane playing !!

Merci mec de juste, exister

Champion Lance wants to battle! Champion Lance send out Guarandos! Go Feraligatr!

Nice one and amazing cover! You have skills, but I think you made it a bit more complex than the original.

Very well done take on that great track

That was amazing!

👍 Great jo Ryan!! 👍👍👍👍

You should have posted the same day as Eric, nice cover tho 👍

I feel threatened listening to this. But considering it's Red's/Lance's theme, it's fitting 😂

Should do a cover on the gen1 champion battle or also known as the rivalry battle red vs blue 🤝

Charizard use FLARE!!!!

Haha lance is this all you got… no
