Share your favourite Pokémon music!

Pokémon music is iconic. Whether it's the melodic tunes playing as you explore a town for the first time or the high-intensity sounds when you're in battle, or perhaps even Pokémon fan music made by someone else, there's plenty to choose from.

For this bounty, we want you to simply share your favourite Pokémon music and tell us why you like it so much! Perhaps you think it sounds the best, it evokes a specific memory of when you were playing through and heard it for the first time, or something else entirely.

My pick is the Jigglypuff song, specifically from the Neon City episode of the original series (where it first appeared). It's fascinating how they managed to create such an adorable song, performed by an equally cute-looking Pokémon, who....

... driven by frustration and anger - goes on to vandalise everyone's faces with a permanent marker. And in the following episodes, the moment you hear those first few notes, you already know what's about to happen.

My favourite piece of Pokémon music is a fun one... The Driftveil City theme from Pokémon Black & White!

I remember when I heard it in the game for the first time and it became one of my all time favourite town themes, which is why I'm so happy it became a bit of a meme recently with the dancing Toothless videos.

Pokémon Black and White just had an amazing soundtrack all round with seasonal variations for many routes, additional music for low HP, a theme for the final Pokémon of a gym leader and even alternative themes for the same town for each game!

Driftveil City just stands out to me as a banger to this day and seeing John Cena, Jimmy Neutron and even Mario in some of the meme videos with this song just makes me happy and it's never not fun headbopping to this piece of Pokémon music!

I simply love “Eterna Foreste” from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and the theme reappears in Legends Arceus, thrilling any fan!

I have discovered an amazing artist called KATO on Spotify who specialises in Lofi music, I initially stumbled across them when searching for some anime lofi and saw they had so many playlists for different animes.

The reason I love this is because it helps you relax and focus on the tasks at hand, it's nice not to have anything super loud or with lyrics.

I won't be very original here, my pick is a classic PokeRap tune.

I think it's quite a challenge to list all the Pokémon, let alone weave their names into a song. I can only imagine how James 'D-Train' Williams and Babi Floyd had to memorize all those Pokémon names.
