Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
This is a song for an imaginary Pokémon Legends game. It would focus on the origins of Team Rocket, following 2 of Giovanni's great great grandparents when they were 10 years old. In this game, Jesse's great great grandmother and James' great great grandfather would be the two partners/rivals in the game. I haven't thought much about the story to be honest, I just imagine this as the intro music. I was very inspired by Pokémon themes while I made this.
So, while it's not exactly a hero's journey, I imagine it would be a more mature and saddening Pokémon story in which Giovanni goes from being a normal kid to hardened and cold due to whatever experiences he faces during the story.
What genre is your soundtrack?
Orchestral
Anything else you'd like to add?
I only used the whole tone scale during the first couple of bars, it became too difficult to reincorporate it after that point. The closest I got to reusing it was the chromatic mediant in the B section. Unfortunately, I'm not too good at using the whole tone scale, but this was definitely a learning experience!

Nice work! I think this piece matches your hypothetical game very well. While I understand Skremzy's point RE reverb, I think the style/genre you aimed for suits that drier tone.
Awesome use of counterpoint!
Pokémon! POKEMONS! (I've never played pokémon :>)
Good job! Lots of... epicness? Definitely something I could hear in a cute RPG game!
Solid piece all around. Definitely has that Pokémon style to it. The part in the middle where the percussion falls back and it's just the melodic instruments really struck a chord with me. It may not be a traditional "hero's" journey, but in this game, Giovanni could very well be seen as the hero of the story. So I think you did a great job!
One suggestion I have is to give some more reverb to a few of the instruments to put the song in a contained atmosphere. They do sound a little dry without it.
definitely sounds like pokemon👍
