''Fan remixes. ...What? Fan music counts!''

Pokemon G/S/C - Red/Lance Battle Theme Remix by Fairuzons
 * Recommended by User:Mile Run
 * Synopsis: An approximately two-and-a-half minute rock remix of the "final boss" theme from GSC.
 * Comments: Intense. There appears to be some dispute over whether or not Fairuzons is really behind the remix, but whoever did it took advantage of an old, 16-bit theme's remix value.
 * New development, the video has been removed from YouTube. I am of the opinion that this is a non-subjective instance of They Changed It, Now It Sucks
 * Thankfully, somebody posted up a video of how it would be played on Rock Band here.

14.5 West Coast Radio (EXPN Card Required) by ProtoDome
 * Recommended by User:Roihu
 * Synopsis: An remix of the Olivine City song, with SFX from the whole series of Pokemon game that not only don't feel out of place, but make you feel nostalgic.
 * Comments: So catchy, it has to be a crime. You'll probably be looping this song a couple of times.

Reshiram/Zekrom Battle Theme (Orchestral) by YoshiDude12
 * Recommended by User:Dialga X
 * Synopsis: An orchestral remix of the Reshiram/Zekrom battle theme from Pokémon Black and White.
 * Comments: This music is incredibly epic; in fact it wouldn't be out of place in Final Fantasy. High energy horns tie fast paced drums and intense bell hits together.

Pokemon Black and White-Ghetsis Battle Theme Remix by Sonicwave1000
 * Recommended by User:Sparky Lurkdragon
 * Synopsis: Remix of Ghetsis' battle theme.
 * Comments: Really nice beat on this one. Love the inclusion of his team's cries, too.

Pokémon B/W Remix - N's Castle by draze4blaze
 * Recommended by User:shurasan
 * Synopsis: Remix of N's Castle theme.
 * Comments: This remix has a slow piano opening, and then has you on a rush the rest of the way through the song. Definitely worth a listen!

Opening/Main Menu - Pokémon Reorchestrated by Skotein
 * Recommended by User:Blacksun 388
 * Synopsis: Orchestral rendition of the Pokemon Red and Blue's opening and main menu music
 * Comments: The track begins with the Gamefreak logo and iconic battle of Gengar and Nidorino with all new music and sound effects. Then translates into an orchestral arrangement of the Pokemon Red and Blue Main Menu music with emphasis on brass section and a solid beat. This is the first track from youtuber Skotein who is involved in his personal project named Pokemon: Re-Orchestrated. Skotein has, on both youtube and his own website, put up several tracks from all generations of pokemon games (excluding Black and White as of the time of this writing)in stunning orchestral arrangements. Furthermore, he has recently gained funding to finish his first public release album "Pokemon Reorchestrated: Kanto Symphony", which puts the entire soundtrack from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow games into this style.
