On the heels of the new trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Undertale creator Toby Fox has revealed he's been working on it as well. Fox composed the field music for the game, as well as a few more tracks.

Fox has an ongoing relationship with Game Freak, having been the primary composer for their 2020 title Little Town Hero, as well as contributing a song to the post-game Battle Tower in Pokémon Sword and Shield (referencing this, Fox boasts that his music in Scarlet and Violet is "not optional"). According to Fox, this relationship began because Game Freak were huge fans of Undertale and one day he noticed that Go Ichinose, the main composer for the Pokémon series, followed him on Twitter, which opened up a line of communication between the two.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18.

Maybe he'll go for full meme points and it'll be a beautiful pastiche of "Sans & Cynthia: A Waltz for the Ultrabosses"

Undertale music was great. so this is nice to hear

 

[The Catboy]

I hope they keep commissioning him because his music is amazing

Huh, I haven't heard of that at all. Seems reviews have been rather middling.

I still think it would be cool if Sans turns up in the new Live-A-Live remake, on account of Megalomania borrowing heavily from one of the tunes in the original OST.

It was a somewhat weak game. For younger analytical audiences to help train their brains some. Slow paced, rock-paper-scissors'ish. Been a while, played it at launch, but it was... okay. More of a 'watch a playthrough and skip around' type game though if you're an adult.

Wow, that cringey fuck made music for this game?

better than anything you could do, I'd say

...?

I hope he doesn't get to the idea to put Sans in this game now that he did help with the soundtrack.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I played quite a bit of Little Town Hero and I'd forgotten he made the soundtrack for it.
Decent game, the soundtrack was by far the best part.

If he composed the field music, does that mean he composed all of it? Pokemon games typically have a lot of different field music, every route gets its own track.
I hope he composed some of the battle music.

Kinda excited to hear the music he came up with.

Those sound way different to me.

You think you could make better music, eh? I wanna see you try and fail miserably

 

[NinStar]

Wow, that cringey fuck made music for this game?

Well... It's Pokémon, you shouldn't be expecting much from it.

Define cringe, my dude.
Tobey seems, to me, a innocuous person.
Not a fan of his work, but that's an entirely different issue.

Without knowing that I hated the main theme arrangement on the trailer, fely really dull, now that I know I will pretend that it is awesome

He's going to do the Field Theme and I assume some tracks for the optional stuff so you can continue disliking the main theme lol

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I really wonder what a Toby Fox rendition of the Pokemon main title screen theme would sound like.

I hope he composed some of the battle music.

He says in his Tweet that Game Freak made several different arrangements of his melody, so maybe it'll get reused for a lot of the routes.
