Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Coming This November

Yes! PLZ HAVE AWESOME TEAM FLARE THEME!

Great news...no need for ripping music from the games when you can just buy them

I will gladly download this, because the Pokemon games always have great tunes.

Sweet!

"It will be comprised of 220 tracks"
Oh my...

Already Pre-ordered Y might pick this up too

It's hard to go wrong with Pokemon music. I can't wait to get an earful of the game's music first hand and find some tunes that I really enjoy.

Now, why can't other Nintendo games do that? Maybe Nintendo will release other OST's on iTunes if this sells enough copies. I do hope so. I want Nintendoland's music!

"Download only"
So I won't buy it then...

I'm hoping for some orchestrated tracks but will still get it no matter what

This is actually really exciting news! I agree with @allav866 and I hope they start doing this with other Nintendo games (especially Zelda!)

I hope they plan to add more than that to itunes. I'm generally a Google Play guy but I wouldn't mind using itunes for some stuff than importing it into Google Music.

@b23cdq We should be thankful we're even getting this. Gaming soundtracks should be relatively easy to compile because the majority of the songs are already made for the game itself. But for some reason, very few OST's are ever produced and distributed. Considering this is a game with a global following, a download-only soundtrack is a much more realistic proposition than shipping discs around the world. I'll take this over having to find torrents for the ripped music any day.

It's nice to have it available, but I wish there was a CD option, either as a pre-order bonus or as a Club Nintendo reward. I would love to burn it at a higher bit rate.

So it's an iTunes Download? Pass,Because I don't have an Apple Device.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't like iTunes! Now I have to rip the beautiful music (unless you guys at Game Freak release it on the nice Google Play Store.... hint, hint)

@Hyperstar96 Because I want to own my music, I have a music collection I'm proud of, and I want to keep building that collection.
if I don't feel like I own what I buy, I might as well not buy it at all.

You see? Nintendo is publishing in iOS. They finally listened to the "industry experts"

Thankfully it is only the soundtrack. Sadly it is only for iTunes, which means I will pass.

Ugh, hate iTunes but like the Skullgirls OST, since I love Pokemon, I'll bite the bullet for the music.

@Hyperstar96 No. I don't own digital music. I rent the permission to listen to it.

release it for android and i'll buy it.....

BRING IT TO GOOGLE PLAY!

@b23cdq
Not trying to change your mind, but why not just burn it to a CD or backup to an external device? You could even print out your own cover art and everything if you want.

I wonder if the reason they don't release game music very often is because doing so would make it less special, especially for when they do decide to. Wouldn't be surprised. It'd be nice if they did though since many games have amazing music.

Some of you do realize that you don't need an Apple device to buy this... right?

Also, @Hyperstar96, please let it go. He can choose not to have his music bought digitally if he wants to, you don't need to get involved and act like he's doing something wrong.

@CaptainSquid
I know, I just HATE iTunes.

it'll show up on youtube and it can just be ripped from there

@Cloud-San-VII Yup, same here...only use it convert stuff back when I had a DSi and had to do the AAC thing. (still do it for the 3DS, it seems to play better than MP3s for whatever reason)
When you download from iTunes, do you get the actual song files? Or is it stuck on its player completely? Dunno how to ask that, but yeah...I don't want to use iTunes to listen to it. xD (heck, I would love to put it on my 3DS to listen on the go)
@SanderEvers Ok, never mind then...yeah I'd take this. xD

@Erica_Hartmann You can put it on your 3DS, in fact, I had to convert music on itunes in order to put it on the 3DS. Hahaha!

Would it really be so difficult to release the retail soundtrack in north America and Europe? Not only is Japan getting a physical copy but there are bonus tracks and a booklet about the music and development! That hardly seems fair, Pokemon is worldwide success so I doubt it will not sell.

I refuse to buy anything off of iTunes if it was a CD it would have been a cool collectors item that I could have uploaded to iTunes. But if they put out more OST's I might have to give in. They iTunes for the older Mario music.
