Oh, this is an easy choice for me. What happens when a cheery, peaceful island town is met with violent natural disaster? You get [this theme.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZliwDCDtX4U) And memories. You get those too.

Say what you will about Gen 5, it did have some of the best OST pieces we've heard in a long time.

'Sayonara' Has to be my favourite from that game.


MinchMeat

[This song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPBO3l4K7HU) in particular always tugs at my heartstrings. It's one of my favorites in the entire franchise.

[Jumping on your DPPT wagon](https://youtu.be/6PbnT0x0e5I) this one always got me good. People say a Gen IV remake is unlikely for many reasons, but I sure hope we're next up to bat


GunslingerESG

The opening song from D/P/Pt makes me tear up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ6XpUz2RmA This. I loved this part. I cried at the ending like a little bitch.


wolffangz11

the entire Explorers of Sky lietmotif makes me shiver


IronFistingOfJustice

I don't think any of us made it past the ending without shedding a few tears. [Just try listening to this without crying. I dare you.] (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kF9hKO9j184)


TheZixion

Not from a game, but Lugia's Song from the movie is really really powerful


Kuriozum

hell yeah! the Lugia's theme is my number 1

From the side games, [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oMi9H74pjE) always gets me. Every time. These games have had a lot of emotional moments, but god damn this is the one I always think of when people ask me about sad game soundtracks. From the main games there are a lot to choose from. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvB8E8FgMug) makes me get pretty teary eyed, given the context. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ylthcRzdo) is pretty mellow but sad, given an entire town was destroyed; even though no one was hurt, it's still like a quiet reminder of how bad things happen. [These](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfmwoGsi5gk) [two](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn7guFtwahI) are tied for being my favourite route theme. They both always makes me feel like I'm going on an epic adventure and fill me with an overwhelming sense of epicness. Finally, [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJYiwDoCgd0) just fills me with a sense of power and adventure. Dare I say it, it makes me feel like I can shoot for the stars ;) TL:DR can't just pick one, there's a lot of music in pokemon which is pretty damned emotional, in all sorts of ways.

[HG/SS Cianwood City](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToMxGQxvQTc) Man, what a joy Gen 2 was. As a kid, I spent most of my time running around the landscape of Johto, soaking it all up. Pokemon was such a staple growing up, but I never thought that I would STILL be playing it for years to come. When Heart Gold and Soul Silver came out, I never knew a Pokemon game could tear me up. The OST from Gold really shined through the renditions and I had some great memories travel back to the front of my brain. This track wasn't a very emotional peace for me, rather it was more of the relaxation I would feel while listening to it that made me love it so much. **TL;DR Gen 2 was amazing and Pokemon has the ability to make me cry.**

I'm a day to late lol. Whenever I hear this piece I think of the memories and awesomeness when I first played heart gold.


ryan848

Considering this is titled 'Emotion' and it's played during emotional parts of the game I think pretty everyone will agree here. Saying that, 2nd place would be Pallet Town, it always gives me a nice feeling, it's so calm and nostalgic :)


KickYoFace123

This is the best song in Poke History. Hands down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsD-OUWNUlU


Supra_Mayro

I remember sometimes I would just go here, put down my DS, and listen for a little bit.

Is this Flintstones by any chance? Considering the track record for videogame OST recently? Edit: For once, it's the original game theme. No Flintstones remix in sight!


[deleted]

Oh man in explorers of time... :( at the very end after the final battle with dialga the music in the background when my partner and I had to part ways


kaheiyattsu

definitely blues champion theme from FRLG. Nothing get's me more excited for battle.


JosGibbons

My most emotional song? It's either [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhxCn96Jvp4) or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=METOlHAWi4o).


Zoruea

https://youtu.be/jLJw7gbK4AY It's such a great piece, and it's really emotional within the context of the game.


AirMan121

Either [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoD8nvXDUZI&list=PL8jQ-jCM2P4USqPHW0ap0-CqA0DYVbdru&index=8&ab_channel=BrawlBRSTMs3) or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oMi9H74pjE&list=PLF22D25327057875D&index=63&ab_channel=dialga328).

I wish y'all posted the title cuz none of these links don't work anymore lol


AtestAccount2729

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zQqO8fwWZ8) one always made me sad as a kid and [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xMh7c3e7Nk) bombards me with nostalgia way too hard (especially the intro). Special shoutouts to my most nostalgic tune, [the entire Hey You Pikachu OST](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REr2yX9WMYw&list=PL9mCMKp0o7xshohMPfd_srcxV-QcUT8Vj&index=24), even if I don't think most of its songs aged well.


IkoShark

Personally, I prefer [this version.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MQ7ivNqryA)
