Talk:GB Sounds

Non-GBC Songs?

What happens if you try to use the GB Player in a place were the music didn't exist in GSC, such as the GTS, or in battle against Ho-Oh or Kyogre or something?--Purimpopoie 18:35, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

It'll play an 8-bit version. I saw a video of someone in the GTS with it. I'll try to find the video.--Mr.lol 18:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Battle against Ho-Oh is not giving me the GBC-quality music for some reason with the GB Player... I just tested this out on SoulSilver and it's definetly playing the same version. Unless the differences are so subtle that I can't tell. ▫▪Ťïňắ ^♫♥ 18:47, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Are they actually the original versions?

I heard that the 8-bit music isn't identical to the original Game Boy versions - similar, but apparently the compositions are a little different. Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not? Also, does it only change the overworld music, or does the battle music also alter? --Raylax 17:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Battle music changes with the overworld music. I've only seen videos of the thing, though, so I can't tell 100% if it's the same or slightly different-sounding. D: ZestyCactus 21:04, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Only the background music changes and that applies to everywhere, considering you're playing your adventure, since the title screen and else similar remains with the HGSS versions. As for being rearrangements, I cannot confirm as some tracks sound exactly the same as in GSC. I think that those that sound exactly as the originals but have some slight changes might be due to the differences in the hardware between the GBC and the DS. Also, don't forget that the GBC only had one speaker so the audio was mono, whereas the DS has two, thus providing stereo audio. ;-)

And the GB Player version of the Dark Cave and Ice Path theme sounds trashy compared to the original. =P Pokemon lover 10:21, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

The GB Player version of New Bark Town's theme sounds very different to me. --The Great Butler 03:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that the GB Player music is emulated Gameboy Color music thus some songs may not sound exactly alike from the originals. It's especially evident in some tracks. Game Freak still gets huge kudos for the effort anyway.Chicobo329 05:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Question

Is this a key item? If so, it's not noted at all... ^ht14 02:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, in the disambig line it is. Other than that.... fail. —darklordtrom 03:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Article Name for "GB Player"

Why is the title name of the article still"GB Player"? I thought they named it "GB Sounds" in the English Games.

Because apparently Serebii.net isn't reliable enough for Bulbapedia. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 14:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Patience is of the essence. It's coming out in less than a month, so... yeah. ^ht14 14:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It isn't without a known source. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 15:02, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I agree with Ht14. We'll have to wait. Serebii is one for making assumptions on things. Tyro 15:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, we wait. While Serebii typically does give reliable info on these things, we can't add it to the wiki because he can't reveal his source. So until something straight from Nintendo (e.g. the games themselves or the HGSS website) confirms them, names are staying where they are. - unsigned comment from AndyPKMN (talk • contribs)
