On other forums, I am known as Pokemaniac. And there's a reason for that. I like the Pokémon games, simple as, and I have many fond memories from them. Not going too far off topic and into the realms of nostalgia, I can say that the music in the Pokémon games is amongst my favourite music of any kind, ever (sad, I know).
And Ninsheetmusic has largely helped me bring back sweet memories from playing the games. A lot of people have volunteeringly (sp?) arranged a lot of songs from the games, and put on this site. Thanks to you all.
However, as a fan, there are some more themes I'd like to see here. Here is a short (?) list:
Note: I'd like to see any of these songs, not necessarily all of them. Demanding you to arrange them all would be selfish and rude, as I know you have lives outside NSM too (at least, I assume so). Even if only one of these is arranged, I'd be happy. To prevent this from being one long demanding list, I'll put some comments beside them, in an attempt to inspire someone to consider arranging (or making the post frustratingly long. Your opinion). Thank you.
Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow: ( http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gameboy/index-gr.html )
_______________________
The Main Theme - Or Title Screen, if you prefer that name. Referred to as Opening on VGMusic. The tune that greets you when you turn on the GB, ready to explore the world of Pokémon. It's also used in the following generations, and is one of the main songs anyone should have in their head once they hear the words "Pokémon Game"
(NOTE: There is already a song in the SSB64 section named "Saffron City". It's essentially this song, used on mentioned stage in mentioned game. But could we put it other places too?)
Viridian City - Title should say it all. And in conjunction with the Route 1 music (already on site), it could be used to form the "Road to Viridian City" theme from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Viridian Forest - Remember that place? Big, dark and full of bugs? And a freakin' labyrinth? All accompagnied by that tune. Ahh, the memories...
Trainer Battle - The craziest tune since Flight of the Bumblebee. I have seen an arrangement of it (in .pdf) somewhere else, and heck, that one's fast. And it is one of the most memorable songs from Pokémon as well, really deserving a place on this site. Too bad that very few people would be able to play it (hey, you accepted Break the Targets, right?).
Team Rocket Hideout - Beneath the Game Corner lies this evil lair, like the smaller brother of the Silph Co. building, just with spiining tiles instead of warp tiles. The music is almost the same as Silph Co. too, but still a bit different. Check for yourself.
Route 12 - The amazing open fields east of Fuschia City. Every time I hear this, I picture a vast open landscape, wind in my hair adventure, and just feeling generally good. How I wish I could play this on piano... (And it's less than 30 seconds long before it loops. Can't be that hard to arrange, can it?)
Evolution - The same theme for every game, and you're likely to hear this hundreds of times through the games. Pleeease...?
Show Me Around - Remember that guy who pushed you back to Pewter Gym every time you wanted to go further, but you couldn't? Well, the guy may be irritating, but the music is sweet. At least, check it out.
Ending Theme - Referred to as "Credits" on VGMusic. All adventures have to come to an end, in this case the victory tour around Kanto, running, biking, hiking and swimming from town to town celebrating the victory in the Pokémon league. But if possible, could the eventual arranger do the FireRed/LeafGreen version instead? It's a lot better than the one on VGMusic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTASi6CR04g
Last, Pokémon Healing - Bing-bing-be-be-bing! Five notes, that's all. Three seconds worth of playing. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, I know that the Bicycle Theme already has been requested, but I'll still mention it.
Pokémon Gold, Silver Crystal: ( http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gameboy/index-gr.html )
__________________________________
New Bark Town - Starting with the start. For the umpteenth, but not last time: Ahh, the memories.
National Park - Calm and peaceful, but may not work on piano. Either way, check it out.
Mount Moon Square - One of the many ways the programmers saved space. The viridian forest was cut down, Pewter museum closed, Cinnabar Island destroyed, etc. And following the collapse of Mount Moon, Mt. Moon Square was made. With nice music. Check it out.
Lavender Town - Not on VGMusic, so here's YouTube to the resque: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g76W944CXzo
Emotional, no? One of my favs from GSC.
Champion Battle - Epic. Really a dramatic battle against Lance and his dragons. Too bad his entire team sucked, as did every other trainer in the game except Red.
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald: ( http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gba/index-gr.html )
______________________________________
Route 104 - Trumpets! Now well, maybe it would work on Piano too?
Littleroot town - Another memory-inducing song. Really good.
Pokémon Trainer's School - Also known as the Chansey Dance in FRLG. It's entirely in piano, so it shouldn't be too bad to arrange. Or amybe it would, but the results would be good. Please have a look at this. If you were to choose one song from R/S/E to arrange, let it be this.
Pokémart - If my local mall started playing this, I'd shop my arms off. I love this song.
Pokécenter - The slightly different Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald version. Worth it if you have the time.
Battle Tower - Please, is all I can say. The best trainers on the planet gather for the Ultimate Challenge, the Battle Tower. I really like this theme, and I would be very happy if anyone bothered to arrange it.
The Trick House - A good contestant for "Hardest Song on Site". Also, who honestly didn't love the Trick House?
The Battle Frontier - YouTube to the resque! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRIpS2h8QM&feature=related
Really I song I would love to play. Have a look at it!
Emerald - The Battle Tower - From 3:00 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf8ryk0bjlg
I bet it won't sound too bad on piano. And it's really sweet as well.
Pokémon Diamond/Pearl: ( http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/ds/index-gr.html )
________________________
Luckily for potential arrangers, I'm not that fond of the D/P music. Dialga/Palkia Battle has been requested, and the SSBB version is lots better anyways. The same goes for Route 209, the second good song in the game. So here's my only request from D/P:
The Sinnoh Underground - Looks like VGMusic lacks this one too. So we have to turn to YouTube again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLJCbXa57Hw . Have a look.
Dialga/Palkia Battle - I'll keep going on about this until I get some sort of feedback (STFU will do, but I hope for something better than that). The SSBB version of this gives me shivers, and the piano parts are wicked (in my opinion). I've listened a lot to it, and realised that most of the song is piano or very playable on piano, and I think eventual arrangers would run into very few problems. Here's even a link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=642AIUwadk8&feature=related
Now, I really hope for some feedback for that song. Other people requesting songs from the Pokémon games, post it here. It's not worth the trouble to post a bunch of all similiar topics.
I will once again repeat that I'm fine as long as one of these finds its way to the Net. This is just a list of proposals, it's not that it's deadly important to me that all these are arranged. Just a bit like your wishlist to Santa, you'll never get both the PS3 and the flying car, but either one will make you screaming with happiness.
So have a look, tell me if some songs would sound like a rockslide in a glass store when played on the piano, or let me know if you find some songs interesting, or if I have left some songs out.
Thanks in advance,
Cobraroll
P.S.: Did I break any forum rules here?
EDIT: Arranged songs (Thanks a lot, GreekGeek, Composer#40, Furiianda, Cyndaquazy, DekuTrombonist, DrPamplemousse, Dahans, Pumpy_Heart and others!) are now marked with a strikethrough.
Wow Cobraroll, that is a rush of requests. I'd love to arrange some for you, I'll start with the songs I like myself if you don't mind ::)
Mind? Mind?
I listed the songs that are my favourites. If you like any of them, chances are pretty big that they are amongst my very top ones, as all on the list are.
And I was considering adding Colosseum/XD to the list, but forgot it, and a few days later, you had arranged pretty much every song from those games anyways, so I didn't have to. Thanks a lot!
Have fun arranging.
Well there are a lot songs from Colosseum and XD (especially from XD) which I haven't done so if you'd like to have some, I can arrange them for you. There are also some songs from Colosseum which can be found as a MIDI on the internet. So in fact if you combine my arrangments and the internet MIDI-files, you'll have probably every song from Colosseum covered you want. I've started with Viridian Forest, it's quite easy, I suspect to have it finished today or tomorrow. After that I think I'll have a look at Littleroot Town.
Update:
I have the chords of New Bark Town and Pokémart and a piece of Littleroot Town, if you're interested =)
New Bark Town: D | Db6 | D6 | D7 | G | E/G# | A | D | Db6 | D6 | D7 | G | E/G# | A
Gsus2 | A7 | Gsus2 | A7 and repeat...
Pokémart: B | E | C#m | F# | B | E | C#m | F# | Gdim | G#m | Gdim | F# | Fdim | Gdim | G#m | Gdim | F# | Fdim | E | Fdim | F# and repeat
Littleroot Town: F | Am | A7/C#| D | Faug/C# | F/C | G7/B | BbM7 | Gm | A7 and I have to arrange the rest. Hope it's helpful for the meantime.
Update 2!
I've arranged New Bark Town, here it is. http://www.mediafire.com/?wm3gdyqyyiz
Hope you like it, I'll start with Pokémart now.
Update 3
Pokémart is finished as well. Hope you like and give feedback please =) (also other people than Cobraroll solely): http://www.mediafire.com/?mngqzqmkryz
Update 4
I polished New Bark Town a bit, so I hope this is more awesome (blinks at ALPRAS). It is quite hard, but that is Pokémon isn't it
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtztojnzmix
Oh, I love pokémon music! :D
It reminds me of the times when I was little and used to play my brother's red version! ^^
Maybe I'll make some arrangements, too...
@GreekGeek: It sounds great! I actually don't like the music in the Pokémarts, but this one sounds very good!
Merlin, thanks ;) I didn't either, but I always become very happy from this one. I've arranged Littleroot Town for you btw, http://www.mediafire.com/?majyyztzmzz . I know it is far from perfect, but I hope you still like it :D
Sorry to bump, but another song has been added to the request list (Dialga/Palkia Battle from SSBB). Other people requesting Pokémon songs, post them here. See near bottom of first post for more pointless writing.
And thanks for all the arranging, people!
Ahh, pokemon music...it does bring back a lot of memories!
And good job on New Bark Town! :)
MOUNT MOON SQUARE (CLEFAIRY DANCE):
http://www.mediafire.com/?c4jq7kqba1cuaj6
Here it is! :D
EDIT: Sorry for the bump...
I'll do viridian city if it hasen't been done already. btw, what do the crossed titles represent?
The crossed titles represent that those songs had already been arranged. :)
I think we already have Team Rocket's Hideout on the main site, put in by Thomas Wilson.
^Thanks, I missed that one! Or forgot to update, or something. DrP also did Sinnoh Underground, so that's all updated now. Thanks!
Sorry, but my schedule went ka-phlooey a while ago and isn't letting up,
and it appears I can't work on it (Viridian City) anymore for a while.
Just wrote this here so that you're not waiting forever, and others won't do it because I've apparently called it.
So Viridian City is up for grabs until my schedule lets up. Sorry I can't do it.
I'll come back and recall it if no one else has.
Sorry! :(
Do you mind if I do it, then? ::)
EDIT: Wait... what? Viridian City is already on the site, arranged by Thomas Wilson. You mentioned the "Road to Viridian City" song from SSBB, could I take that as a request? If so, I´ll do it. :)
Are there any BW songs that you might want???
^Accumula Town, alternately a duet with the "extra" piano thrown in (the one played by that girl in that house... you probably know what I mean). Also, I'm again mentioning the Emerald songs, and FR/LG End Theme.

1) Woops, looks like I have overlooked that. Editing the first post again now.
2) Thanks!
I know that you didn´t request it directly, but I wanted to do it SO BAD, so here it is:
"Road to Viridian City"
http://www.mediafire.com/?ejzp0d7vf4bj04k
What do you think? Nice, huh? Made it completely from scratch, but I knew some notes already from "Route 1".
This reminds me the epic battles I had with my friends. I always played as Lucario or Pikachu... Good times... :'(
EDIT: And Wario, of course! ;D
Wonderful. Thank you!
Only critisism is that something doesn't feel quite "right" about a part of the Viridian City part of the arrangement. It occurs in measure 38 and twice after that (the eighth notes). It seems like an eighth or sixteenth note is missing right before the "trill". Perhaps using a proper trill where the notes go G-A-G would sound better.

Any criticism is well accepted! And maybe you´re right, so here it is, corrected:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5l2188hmolsoz2t
EDIT: Only "Battle Tower" and "Battle Frontier" left? You must be happy! :D
^I am! Verily!
Also, the oft-mentioned yet oft-forgotten FR/LG End Theme. It's mentioned under "Ending" to RBY, but not in bold letters. Hmm...
EDIT: For some reason, the RBY Bicycle Theme hasn't been noticed either.
sinnoh underground looks fun. i'll do that one.
^Looks like DrP already has done that one... (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=2192.0)
Though, it's not submitted yet, and you might be able to make a better version?
Thanks for having a look at this thread in either case!
yeah i'm not a fan of that version. it's lacking the necessary marching pulse and energy.
Then I feel obliged to say thanks again. You've got two of my requests in the grinder now!
I transcribed a few of your requests, because I am currently transcribing Kyle Landry's Pokemon Medley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOYIbV5y7FI
Check out this transcription, I think I read that you wanted at least one of them:

I thought for sure someone had done the bike theme. I'll do a forum check. If I can't find it, I'll get it to you tonight.
The RBY bicycle theme... along with RSE... are unnoticed, I believe. And that makes me sad.

i'm working on the RSE bicycle theme.
I made the Bike Theme as well, the one of Pokemon Silver / Gold. Check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj2EIUs49nU

Yep.
Check my thread for RBY Bicycle Theme.
*checks off yet another song*
http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=1821.0
I finished cycling but I need some opinions/comments/critiques/etc.
Hey, Shado, I forgot if you actually took it or not - are you actually going to do the D/P/Pt credits?
Quote from: Nebbles on September 15, 2011, 03:27:08 PMHey, Shado, I forgot if you actually took it or not - are you actually going to do the D/P/Pt credits?
yes I've started that one.
Thanks so much for taking it! :3 I can't wait to hear it.
Quote from: Shadoninja on September 15, 2011, 03:29:03 PMyes I've started that one.
You can use my "pre-version" of my medley if you want to.
no thanks.
also, finished sinnoh underground and need feedback.
