Pokemon games have always been blessed with solid soundtracks, so let's celebrate them!
I'll kick this off by pumpin' up the jams:

Probably my favorite song in any Pokemon game. Up until this point, Pokemon had been mostly upbeat, and it returned to that upbeat feeling afterwards. Lavender Town was never meant to be a happy place, however; it's where people bury their dead Pokemon (and I thought they could only get temporarily knocked out ;-;)
With an air of mystic, an intensely creepy atmosphere, and an overall depressing concept, Lavender Town was a truly distressing location. This song can instantly send chills through your spine and makes these themes clear as soon as you enter the town's borders. Forever unsettling, I love this jam.
As a bonus:

Pretty much the complete opposite of the first song there. This was among the most upbeat songs in any Pokemon game. I adored it as a child, even though it only fully played when you tried to exit Pewter City without battling Brock first and that one guy was all "yo, man, you gotta battle the gym leader first, c'mon!" As a kid, I would try to leave the town just to hear the song, then walk back and try to leave again, just to keep the beat going >.>
While both of those are from Red and Blue, this thread is for any and every Pokemon game (side games included)! So post up some jams and let's hear some good tunes ^.^
