[Cifer] Pokemon Complete Music Collection (Gen 1-8) [FLAC] torrent

[EDIT] I encountered some issues with the upload and also learned how to correctly rip some tracks from BW without SFX, so I decided to change some things. Since the changes aren't major and my upload speed isn't very good, I won't be uploading a V2 torrent for the time being. However, I implemented the changes on a Mega and GDrive Mirror, so I recommend downloading from there if you want the revised version.

This is not a simple compilation of official soundtracks. My goal was to make a complete collection of Pokémon music, including unused tracks and songs not present on the official soundtrack releases. I tried to include as many tracks as possible, but there are so many I’m sure I missed at least one, so please let me know if I did.

Every track from Gen 1 up to Gen 5 was ripped and tagged by myself. I also tagged many tracks on Gen 6 – Gen 8 games.

For the rips, I wanted something that sounded like the original games but with better quality. That means there’s no interpolation applied to any of the DS entries. The only exception to this rule are the Gen 1 and 2 games. Those tracks have a very low gain (most probably due to the decoder), so I used Replay Gain Album + Advanced Limiter to increase the volume a little bit. I still have the source files, so if you want a raw version, let me know.

For the tags, I used the official release of each game for reference, but I also made many changes to maintain consistency across the games.

You may ask, why would someone change the official track themes?
The answer is simple: On the official releases, there’s a big inconsistency between arrangements of the same composition. For example, the Hall of Fame theme has four different names, but they are essentially the same song. The same problem is present on the cycling theme, PokéDex evaluations and many others. I know many people don’t care about this, but I hate inconsistency, especially when it doesn’t make sense.

I used GameRips for USUM and SwSh because there hasn’t been an official release for these two soundtracks. I plan on replacing them if Game Freak decides to release them.
