Ear Worm/Video Games/Pokémon

For the anime, see here. Ear Worms in the Pokémon Video Games include:

The Pokémon Center music. Aptly enough, its remix in Brawl is the most epic of all the Pokémon remixes.
- Here's the link for the Brawl remix. Hear it at your own risk.
- Fun experiment: Find a group of college kids. Begin whistling or humming the Pokecenter music. See how many people join you.
One under appreciated, but very catchy theme is the print error theme from Pokémon Yellow [1].
On the subject of Pokémon: the Boyleland music. Anyone who tells you they've heard a more catchy calypso song in a video game is lying.
- We just may have found a new contender for that title, though, in the form of Undella/Sazanami Town's Summer-only theme.
This troper had the theme that plays in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team when you're having those dreams of Gardevoir/doing the character quiz in the beginning playing in her head for days.
- Oh god, the music when you wake up and meet your partner in the morning and get the mail. Sticks to your BRAINS, man!
  - Sky Tower.
- Pokemon mystery Dungeon 2 give us Primal dialga.
No mention of the R/B/Y Surf theme, or its Japanese anime lyrics? Or the Game Corner song, especially the Diamond/Pearl remix thereof? Or the Oreburgh theme? All catchy as a Masterball.
The standard-issue Trainer battle theme from Gold and Silver.
OREBURGH CITY. When I listened to it for the first time, five seconds into it, I thought, "I LOVE THIS SONG."
The original Red and Blue version had some pretty epic music, such as the Gym Leader Battle Theme and Gary's Theme. You know you started humming them before you even clicked on those links.
I have fond memories of thinking up any excuse I could to visit Goldenrod City. And with the Updated Rerelease on the way... Yeah.
Show of hands, who else gets the R/B/Y cycling music stuck in their head every time they ride a bike?
- :raises hand: Yep, I can't even play with the volume on anymore, cause I keep hearing the music, even after I switch the game off... Oh god, it's back!
While we're at it, let's not forget the R/S/E Gym Battle theme.
I am thoroughly disappointed... No Route 1? Really, guys?
- For This Troper Its The Team Rocket Grunt Battle theme In HG/SS
- I see your Route 1, and give you Route 11.
This troper hums the ((BROKEN))Ruby/Sapphire surf theme constantly. It doesn't help that surfing was a MAJOR part of those games...
The R/S/E Trainer Battle theme and the wild Pokémon battle themes are pretty awesome as well.
Leaf Green/Fire Red Champion theme anybody?
- [2] Only if you mention the Pokémon Black/White rendition shortly afterwards. Sadly, it gets virtually no screentime.
- Um, the original version from Red/Blue/Yellow?
...None are speaking of the 'fro's (Miror B.) themes? Shame upon you all.
Fighting your rivals in Black and White.
Route 113 theme Let the Soot Root fill you with happy thoughts
Black and White gave us the likes of Driftveil City and the new bike theme.
[3] The music that plays when someone makes you walk somewhere with them is very ear worm-y
Route 111. That song literally would not leave for the longest time...
Giratina theme. Simply the most awesome music in D/P/PL, and one of the best musics of the series!!
A wild Kyurem appeared!
- Not that the other two members of the Tao trio are sloppy in the musical department either - though they lack Kyurem's awesome slapped bass, the fire and lightning effects in Reshiram's and Zekrom's themes (respectively) add a particularly awesome twist to the whole thing.
And finally, who can forget Ghetsis's battle theme?
- Want to know why? DEEEEEEEENNIS. DEEEEEEEENNIS. DEEEEEEEENNIS. DEEEEEEEENNIS.
Black & white takes the Hell Is That Noise-y "Low HP" theme from OH GOD STOP IT to an ear worm!
The Deoxys battle theme.
Y'all disappoint me! What about Hoenn's Victory Road, arguably one of the best tracks FROM those games?
WHAT!? NO FINAL BATTLE THEME FOR THE EPIC N?!
Accumula Town in Black/White. Perfect music to hatch eggs to!
The Wild Battle music from BW has been reported to make people stop using Repels.
Cyrus's battle theme is incredibly earwormy. Mmm... bassline...
Whether you're up, or way down low, don't you miss the Lucky Number Show!
Although it may be creepy, Lavender Town has one of the catchiest themes ever.
What? how come I don't see G/S/C Gym theme on here? Seriously, I thought this was epic when I was 9 years old. Plus it's reminiscent to the anime's gym battle theme.
The HeartGold/SoulSilver variant of the Champion Theme, as well as its original incarnation in Gold/Silver/Crystal are both insanely hummable.
The Entire Soundtrack of Black and White
I've gone through this whole list and I'm very disappointed in you people. No one's mentioned the main theme song at all?! You know, the opening song that plays on the title screen and/or intro of every single main game in the series? Were you guys thinking that the anime's English dub's original theme was the theme to the whole franchise?
- Add onto that the version that comes on when a Gym Leader is on their last Pokemon in B/W.
The Arceus battle music from DPPt was one of the creepiest tunes when it first came out years ago.
The "Peril" theme from Pokemon Ranger 2. Good luck getting it out of your head.
So, got this far without seeing the R/B/Y wild pokemon battle theme, eh? Well repel just wore off...A wild Earworm appears! Made even better in their remakes.
Seriously? No R/S/E champion theme? I'm totally ashamed.
You forgot Slateport City. It's a catchy song(for me at least, but I'm sure I'm not the only one)!
The original Burned Tower theme from Gold/Silver.
How did we mention every champion theme but not Cynthia's?
The Cargo Ship/Oil Field Hideout theme from Pokémon Ranger:Shadows Of Almia. Nananananana, nananananananana...
