15 Iconic Pokemon Tracks That Take Us Back Every Time

Johto Gym Leader Battle (Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal)

The Gym Leader theme from the first generation of games was a rollicking good time, but things got serious in Gold and Silver. You’d better bring your A-game, because these enemies are cut from a different cloth, whether it’s Whitney’s dreaded Miltank, Jasmine’s enormous Steelix, or Falkner’s Pidgey, a Pokemon that doesn’t particularly deserve an adjective.

If things seem a bit harder this time around, it’s because they are – gone are the wayward AI botches from yesteryear, and in their place are dastardly strategies that you will have to use all of your skills to overcome. This theme is the perfect companion for these battles: no-nonsense, and almost a touch bit wicked, we daresay.
