What makes the music of Pokémon so special?

Insaneintherainmusic: The music of Pokémon is so masterfully composed. The tunes tend to be very short (with a loop time often of 90 seconds or less), but the music is so harmonically rich and does a great job of capturing the mood of the place you’re currently in within the game, whether it be a battle, town, route, or otherwise.

RichaadEB: I'm not sure!! It just...is. The composers that typically work on the games are some of my favorites in entire VGM world though, particularly Go Ichinose and Junichi Masuda.

Braxton Burks: The series has always had memorable melodies for all its battles, locations, and characters!

Mewmore: It's quite amazing how much feel and depth these songs have, despite the technical limitations of the GameBoy, the Game Boy Advance, and the Nintendo DS. The great soundfonts really make them feel special too. The compositions vary quite a lot, and I find it nice how they fit the music together with the region; let's say all those traditional Japanese tracks in GSC for example.

Sab Irene: What makes the music of Pokémon special is all the nuances, especially in the older games (RBY - B/W). One of my favorites parts about Pokémon music is how they have reorchestrated classic tracks and the different interpretations. So many of my favorite childhood memories involve playing this game by myself, with my brothers, cousins, and friends.
