The new Pokémon series may have the same original Japanese name, but it’s scored by a brand new composer.
The soundtrack, TV Anime Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack, hits shelves on November 4 and retails for 2,500 yen (US$23.77) plus tax.
As an English-speaking millennial, it’s hard to go wrong with the original series’ earnest belting vocals and soaring electric guitar riffs.
The original Pokémon series was broadcast in 1997 in its native Japan and came with its own library of smash hits, not least its incredible orchestral score arranged by Shinji Mizaki.
