Undertale Creator Toby Fox Remixed Ed Sheeran's Pokémon Song In The New Scarlet & Violet DLC

hi people, toby fox is cool

Blegh, the original song is bad. No amount of remixes can solve that.

Imagine making Earthbound rom hacks and then one day you're remixing a song from the one of the biggest artists in the world for one of the biggest games in the world.

Wild.

@kkslider5552000 Forgot add generic.

Imagine telling people when Undertale first released that Toby would go on to officially remix an Ed Sheeran song composed for Pokemon and incorporate his own melodies composed for Pokemon into it

Shame such a good talent is wasted on a crap show of game coding.

Toby has come so far! Protect this man!

It sounds amazing!!!

Thanks, I hate it..

Can we please keep Ed Sheeran out of Pokemon? For god's sake, I love this game series and adding Ed Sheeran in is like sticking needles into a cupcake.

Scarlet and Violet features the most soulless sound track of all pokemon games (and the worst ost overall). But people love Tobby Fox, then pretend it's good.

@abdias Toby's parts of the soundtrack are good. The hill you are on isn't worth the suffering required to live on it. Though I will admit, he can't make this shine.

@abdias Did we play the same game? The music in SV is anything from Soulless. I do think some of the area themes are pretty eh, but a lot of them are still really good as well. The city themes, the DLC area themes, Area Zero, and the East Province music are great. The Water gym town theme is also really nice as well.

@Bobb Area Zero's theme sounds like it was picked straight out of Shin Megami Tensei. Really does a good job at making the area itself feel deeply unsettling in comparison to the rest of the region.

Nothing like a good ol’ low-pass filter to make your song sound… a bit muffled and indistinct.

@abdias Did you actually finish the game?

You know we've entered a new level of catastrophic awfulness when modern Pokémon, Ed Sheeran, and Toby Fox are all mentioned in one headline.

I liked the original, and I liked Toby Fox's contributions to this soundtrack in the base game, but after listening to this, the phrase "rinse and repeat" has lost any meaning. Maybe it sounds better in-game, I don't uet have the DLC.

That’s cool, but I wasn’t a fan of the choices for this particular composition/remix. It felt less than celebratory after reaching the credits of the DLC. Kind of downtrodden and depressing. 🫣

@GoshJosh I mean you're right in the sense that I care so little about the actual song that the fact that Toby Fox worked on it is easily the most interesting thing about it.

@abdias Why people do always assume just because they don't like something personally, others who do, only do so out of forced obligation.

I'm really curious about this mindset. It's like saying because I hate pizza, you only pretend to love it. Where is this certainty, and absolution you are correct in assuming others genuine feelings towards a thing?

Just finished the story and the original song was very not good to begin with but somehow I think this remix is substantially worse. It just sounds like a bunch of garbage noise. I realize you're fighting an uphill battle to begin with trying to make Ed Sheeran listenable but making it sound like it's being played on an old Walkman someone ran over a few times isn't the way to do it.
