Pokémon Gold/Silver - Vs. Rival Guitar Cover by FamilyJules

I honestly could stand Gary Oak way better than this asshat.

Get this cover on Johto Legends!

A few months ago, Materia Collective announced their Johto Legends Gold and Silver album and created an incentive to have me do a track on it! This is a double track including the encounter song and I think it came out working really cool moving into the main battle theme. Be sure to snag the album from the link above!

Love it when people combine the overworld encounter music themes and the actual music - makes it a more complete experience! Also it looks like the bass was hard to do in this one... or maybe that's just me

[AwesomeCornSauce]

Stole a pokemon, earned every badge, helped take down every team rocket member, championed strength above all else, met you at the entrance to the elite four...

[panyaplayha]

I love that you included the lead up dialogue theme before you started the battle theme. It really does make it so much better.

[norbertoenrique]

The way the Rival theme was MEANT to sound like....

[HanzoHimemiya]

To be honest, that is the best song for a rival, it feels you fight with the worst of yourself

@FamilyJules - He's a lot more bearable in Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal.

My favorite Pokemon Game, thank you Jules.

[adriantepes]

I still miss the badass rivals we got in the old gen games. They actually felt like an actual rival and a friend at the same time/ or in case of Silver a focused and determined rival. But the rivals nowadays are just...too soft

[Altamyr]

I backed Johto Legends AND bought a physical copy because you were advertising it and godDAMN it was worth it.
This track is so good, I'm so glad you were able to contribute to the album!! 👌✨

[bando-kun]

Silver was a guilty pleasure... On the one hand, I hated beating down on his Pokémon because they were hinted at being victims of his abusive nature. On the other hand, his theme music was fire. 🤣

[bdwam]

Your covers are simply outstanding; been subbed since 2012 and honestly everytime I listen to them you hit the exact notes as they are heard in video games, like an harmonic tune. Plus adding the energy and passion you put in every cover I simply think you are great man, keep it up!

[Jayjaytube]

Fastest click of the week for me! You did a gen II fanboy proud!

[noarinne]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Oh my god thank you so much, not only is this my favorite track (and Silver's my favorite character, additionally) from the entire series, but having it covered by you is a dream come true. You're absolutely killing it and those riffs are AMAZING. I've been waiting for Johto Legends since so long, and I'm so happy to see you being a part of it!! I'm blessed. Thank you so, so much for your work, please keep the great tunes coming!!

(and pshhh he's a great rival. he's an asshat but a good, well-written asshat.)

[KytsoraDoodles]

I KNEW IT. I HEARD THE COVER AND THOUGHT IT WAS YOU!!!! IM SO HAPPY! THANK YOU FOR ADDING IT TO THE ALBUM!!!!

[kbblghn]

Hello this is so cool, is it free to use on videos?

[tristanbettencourt]

I cried when I first heard this as a kid who grew up playing practically nothing but heartgold this song brought genuine tears of happiness to my eyes and the renewing love for the remastered gen 2 music

Rival Jules challenges you.

[madbombermedia]

My god FINALLY someone had made this sound good! Awesome work man! Subbed because of this! Best version on YouTube as far as I'm concerned!
