Rank the Pokemon music from best to worst (or worst to best) or just mention which was your favorite and why you liked it. Also vote if you want (this forum needs moar threads)
6.) Diamond / Pearl / Platinum
Can't say the music was memorable in this generation at all. Generation 4 is my favorite set of games, yet it lacks in decent music almost entirely. The only music I can think of that stood out was the battle against the pixies and the Elite Four music.
5.) Red / Blue / Yellow
I really do love a lot of themes in RBY and I hate ranking it so low, but the music really bores me now that we have better quality music in the newer games. To me, the most memorable song was the gym leader fight and random battle theme. Then there's music that makes my ears bleed to this day (bike theme, Lavender town, a few routes, surf).
4.) FireRed / LeafGreen
The music for the most part was very disappointing, I really expected more out of it. They jazzed up the gym leader song when it's supposed to sound serious >:( and made the bike theme even worse (which is pretty bad, the bicycle song is atrocious). I thought it was a slight improvement over RBY though because the quality is much better. Once in a while I'll open up youtube and listen to a few samples from FRLG's soundtrack. One thing that really made me nostalgia was the inclusion of some Johto themes at the Sevi Islands. Very good music!
3.) HeartGold / SoulSilver
Again, like FRLG, I didn't care too much for the "new and improved" soundtrack. Songs I did like were the random battle songs in both Johto and Kanto and the gym leader theme in Kanto. I rank HGSS so high because it gives you the chance to use the GB Player (which I don't use very often, I usually just stick to the new music) so I can listen to the music from the original games.
2.) Gold / Silver / Crystal
I really enjoyed this soundtrack. My absolute favorite song was the random battle theme in Kanto. There are so many songs that I liked, it'd probably just be easier to list my least favorites (bicycle theme, Dragon Den, Saffron City, Kanto Gym leader (which was improved a LOT in HGSS)). I also liked how the Kanto songs were remixed even though some of them sounded kinda worse like Saffron City. GSC introduced a lot of good music and brought back the old music with brand new remixes. Great stuff.
1.) Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald
A very unlikely choice for #1, huh? RSE might have been the downfall of the series, but the music really brings it back up. Slateport City, Fortree City, Team Magma/Aqua battle, Archie/Maxie battle, rival battle, (actually pretty much any battle theme in this game was awesome) Fallarbor town, and the list goes on and on. The music I disliked was the bicycle theme (is there a pattern here?), surf, and a few routes. If we ever get an RS remade, the top priority should be good music, because that's what this generation was all about. Oh, and even though Pokemon Colosseum was an awful game the music wasn't bad either.

I agree, it really does & also...
6. FRLG = while 6 is usually my favorite number, not here as it is my least favorite number here & the owner of this rank has it because even though the original RGBY Versions have what is now terrible music in comparison to other versions, playing FRLG is even more boring then playing RGBY even with the upgraded music which I didn't really like better then the original music anyway so it is the worse in the main series music to me
5. RBGY = with what I said above I only have this left to say, great music but not in my favorite way, it is just too old skool sounding to be anything other then where it is on this list, number 5
4. GSC = what to say, what to say, why this rather then DPPt, well cause there is no awesomely amazing track among them except for Suicune's theme in Crystal which is really kind of been put into HGSS & all of the remaining have more then 1 great track in their arsenal so with that said
3. HGSS = aww, so close but no, nope, your getting 3rd place Johto remakes & why, too much metal in places where it just wasn't needed & also for trying to use it to make your music better which is just stupid when instead you could have just made more themes like the ones playing on Route 47/48 & the Safari Zone Entrance...you also ruined one of the very few tracks I liked from the original GSC which was the Rival Music for crying out loud you came on a little too too strong with the metal approach which I still hate very much even today(some things you just don't get used to) & could have did better on Lugia & probably Ho-oh's themes cause they just don't exist to my ears, even with all this & maybe more said I still have to give you more props then all of the above cause the GB sounds not only made most of my favored tracks better but made some others great again as well even if you had to wait til after story to use it, & also cause the tracks you properly used the metal additions well on were just fantastic like the Gym battle music, Team Rocket's themes(all of them) & some of the brand new music so props there, that's it I guess
2. DPPt = what could have possibly put this here instead of in 3nd, well, while HGSS has better tracks, DPPt has better tracks without the need of using something like the GB sounds & thank goodness they don't have nowhere near as much metal as HGSS, I like only the following themes in DPPt though;
Previously stated theme, Sunyshore City's theme, Gym Leader battle theme, Elite 4 battle theme, Frontier Brain battle theme
both Cynthia's battle & confrontation themes & Team Galactic's grunt & commander's battle themes
1. RSE = I will explain myself here, firstly overall I think they did ok with the music in this game as the only music I remember absolutely boring me to death was the trainer battle music(you know it sucked now agree with me already, lol) but other then that, everything else was at least decent with some notibly good ones which was;
Wild Pokemon battle theme = should have been the trainer battle theme like in the anime cause it was times better
Theme that is playing while it is flooding in certain places = It fitted to the senario pretty much perfectly
Gym Battle Music = thankfully this was good cause otherwise I wouldn't have a good first opinion about gym themes otherwise
Kyogre/Groudon's Theme = I don't know why I like this theme but I did cause I though it worked here
That's it for me...

I would like to note that on sundays you on HGSS you can tune you pokegear toDJ Bens station to listen to all the sound tracks from GSC, even the title screen theme
HGSS gets my vote because You have sound track from alot of generations, Including groudon/kyogres theme, and the legendary beasts, if you have GB player you can hear their GSC themes

Even though they're both not options, I'd say Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness had the best music in my opinion. Favorite tracks include: Citadark Isle, The Under, Colosseum's Credits, and both game's final battle.
Number two would have to be music from RSE. My favorites from that are: Frontier Brain battle, Underwater, Elite Four battle, Route 111 (the desert), Mt. Pyre Outside, and Archie/Maxie's battle.

My favorite music came from generation 3. It's hard to name my favorite song, but it's probably the rival battle theme. Next would be generation 2, then 1, then LG/FR (I sort of like the 'retro' feel to the original music). Next comes D/P/P. I haven't played HG/SS yet, so I can't really compare it. I will say though that pokemon has some of my favorite video game music.

1.RSE
2.GSC
3.HGSS
4.FRLG
5.RBY
6.DPP
RSE music is the best game music I ever heard. Places like Fortree City and Slateport City had the best music.
GSC music is amazing. Goldenrod had the best music, well, in my opinion.
HGSS had great music. Same as GSC, but remixed. The Pokemon League had good music. Although, the Champion battle music, the Johto Gym Leader music, and the Rival battle music was top-notched too.
FRLG was okay. Same as RBY, but a little remix in it.
RBY was very retro. I didn't like it that much, but it was good.
DPP. I do not like this music at all! My opinion, it sucks! Period.

I don't really have a favorite Gen, but I do have a favorite song: the Cyrus Battle Theme. Here's a link:
