In recent weeks and months Game Freak has been releasing rather impressive soundtrack albums on iTunes for various titles in the Pokémon franchise. Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, the DS titles, have now been covered with the arrival of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection on the download store. For $9.99 /€8.99 / £7.99, depending on your region, you can enjoy 149 tracks — yikes! — though admittedly some are short sample sounds. The iTunes store says this latest album was released on 11th March, yet the email we've received says it's only landed today — ultimately, who cares, it's available now.
As stated above a number of albums have been released prior to this one, with details below:
- Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection
- Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection
- Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection
- Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection
Similar soundtrack releases for Pokémon Black & White as well as Pokémon Black & White 2 are also on the way.
Will you be picking up this album? It's safe to say that the notoriously litigious Prince won't be, as he may or may not feel that Game Freak ripped off his Diamonds and Pearls track. If a court battle resumes — though extremely unlikely — we'll let you know.

$10 is not bad considering that importing and/or buying on Ebay other game soundtracks can cost easily twice as much as that.
Just in time.
I bought Pearl last sunday and have been enjoying it greatly.
@ThomasBW84 looks like you wrote Black and White twice for the B/W2 link.
Anyways, I'm glad they've been releasing these, though I haven't bought any yet. Gives me an option to actually get them and pay them for it. D:
...Ugh, Nintendo! 3DS games! Soundtracks, NAO! T.T
@CaptainSquid No I didn't *cough
I wish Nintendo would do this for their entire library of soundtracks
Jam'in to my Pokemans' soundtrack. ^.^
We need more 3DS soundtracks...
@BLPs what makes you think GF didn't want Gen 5?
I don't understand what the tagline is supposed to mean, but my boss's name is Prince, and anytime the words, "Prince will not be happy" go into a sentence, my heart sinks into my stomach a bit.
Prince is amazing. I always related these games titles to his amazing Diamond and Pearls album but I guess most fans are too young to remember it.

The Trainer battle theme from Diamond and Pearl is far and away my favourite Pokémon BGM.
I felt that D/P/Pt had some of the best music in the series. X and Y aren't really doing it for me, soundtrack-wise.
D/P/Pt tracks aren't as memorable as the first two gens or gen 5 or arguably even gen 3 in my opinnion, but it does have some really beatiful tracks in it that I at least enjoy while I'm playing it.
Note: When I say Gen 3's music is memorable I don't mean it's necessarily good, I just remember it is all.
Nintendo need more revenue coming in, why not release soundtracks for more of their popular games such as Legend of Zelda and Mario Galaxy.
