Pokémon music fans may have something to rejoice with a new development on this front. Recently, the Pokémon DP Sound Library was released, which is essentially a sound bank of every single music piece or musical sound in the classic fourth-generation games; accordingly, it should be considered its original soundtrack or OST, and it is in fact referred in such a way on YouTube, for the official video containing the entire sound bank. More information is also available on the official web site... or should, as I'm unable to access it.
Regardless, the intent of this sound bank or OST is to provide all the music pieces or musical sounds not just for listening - as can be conceivably done through the YouTube link above - but also for them to be able to be used in making "personal video and music". This is a major and breakthrough step for Pokémon, also being a franchise that Nintendo has a partial stake in. The comments on the YouTube video are also overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that this is a good future direction to take.
Even so, it has to be noted (and cannot be denied) that the timing of this comes on the heels of a unique facet of YouTube that is related to game music in general fading away into nonexistence. That's somewhat beyond the scope of this blog, and I have to say I've never been interested in it, so I won't mention it here. Some people still lament the loss of that particular facet, specifically if not officially substituted with the likes of this sound bank, for example. Thus, sound banks like these for other (Pokémon) games are useful as such.
The release of this sound bank, though, should bode well for me as I may opt to selectively use certain pieces in order to provide accompaniment to the YouTube videos on my channel, which I've opened as of this month. It would be a wonderful thing, though I may have to start off simple, especially when the web site for the sound bank itself is still inaccessible for me. Should this work out, it would be a testament to the sound bank indeed.
It may be considered that developments in Pokémon music may be hard to come by at times, but when they come, they could be extremely significant. Such is the case with this sound bank for the fourth-generation games with the fascinating musical sounds and music pieces from them, along with the means of making them available. At the least, it shows how entertaining those pieces are, long after the games have been available and played.
