About: Here we are with another big and ambitious episode. Just like we did previously for Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda, this episode will take you on a journey through every mainline Pokémon game, organised in such a way that it will hopefully feel like you are experiencing an entire Pokémon-like journey, from beginning to end through a selection of carefully chosen theme tracks. These will include songs from every core Pokémon title, except for expanded versions (such as Yellow and Emerald) and sequels (such as Black & White 2). Covering Pokémon Red/Blue up to Pokémon Sword/Shield.

*All music composed by Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose, Shota Kageyama, Hitomi Sato, Morikazu Aoki & Minako Adachi.
