RS: Team Magma/Aqua Grunt and Boss battles

Don't really have one for each game, but from the series as a whole the R/S/E Gym Leader battle music is definitely my favourite. Or maybe the regular trainer music from D/P/Pt. Oh or the Team Galactic battle music. Or the Team Rocket battle music from HG/SS. Basically I like a whole lot of them. D:

And my least is the bike music from D/P/PT what are they doing to my ears.

I know D:
In the first games I loved the cheeryness of the bike music, then in GSC I loved it even more (got spoiled a bit when I found out it was Goldenrod sped up but I liked that too so yeah) then in RSE I didn't like it as much and was wondering what they were doing.

Then I got Diamond and now I love the RSE one in comparison.
 
R/B/Y - Lavender Town, Fuschia City
G/S/C - Lake of Rage, Lavender Town, Dark Cave
R/S/E - Everything. I love this music. Major favorites include Desert, Route 113, Abandoned Ship, Dive, Ever Grande City... I could go on forever.
D/P/Pt/HG/SS - Distortion World, Victory Road entrance, Mystery Zone, Lavender Town
PMD - Great Canyon, Mt. Thunder

I'm really digging Lavender Town.
 
FR/LG: Champion Battle is really the only one that sounds high-quality.
GSC: Route 27-26 (routes from New Bark Town to Indigo Plateau).
RSE: A couple. Some of the longer route themes are nice, while Verdanturf Town also is really neat.
DPPt: Snow routes, Pokemon League, Sunyshore City, Credits
HG/SS: ROUTE 47 OH MY GOD
 
R/B/Y: don't remember that music too well... no answer
G/S/C: The Bike music
R/S/E: Any of the route music with the trumpet in it
Fr/Lg: didn't care too much for those games. no answer
D/P/Pt: the Elite four castle outside music
Hg/Ss: The cave music
 
I can't believe that so few people are mentioning Dusknoir's theme from PMD (both his theme and the battle music). I've been trying to persuade my band class we should learn how to play that battle theme.

Dialga's battle music is also pretty awesome. I like Chasm Cave, Hidden Land, and Deep Dark Crater. And I wish that Team Charm's theme was my theme.

Oh and Amp Plains is amazingly techno and I love it <3

From FRLG (I never played RBY all that much) I really like Lavender Town and Pokemon Tower. I can't remember any music from HGSS (I usually have to play it with the volume down), and the opening theme for RSE is just win. I guess I also like the ending part of the opening theme in DPPt.

EDIT: OH DAMN I FORGOT AEGIS CAVE AAAAH

Seriously, if you haven't heard the Aegis Cave music, go listen to it. Now.
 
Oh dude, totally forgot the HGSS Game Corner music. Catchy to listen to while I play Voltorb Flip. :v
 
I've been trying to persuade my band class we should learn how to play that battle theme.

Suggestion: If your band director's anything like mine, he'll respond to being sent PDFs of parts for that music for every instrument. :V (That's how my band director was swayed into having the jazz band play the Cowboy Bebop theme!)

Then send me the PDFs so I can ask mine to play it too D<
