Unused Tracks#

April Fools 2020

For April Fools Day 2020 three songs from Pokémon Red and Blue replaced the standard Pokémon Center, Team Maker and Exploration Themes. They remain in the files, now unused and unlikely to be used again.

Pokémon Center

Edit Team

Explore

April Fools 2024

Similarly to the 2020 April Fools event, another song from Pokémon Red and Blue replaced the Pokémon Center theme. This time being the infamous Lavender Town song (due to a blackout caused by Volkner). This might never get used again.

Unused Jingles#

Named jingle_get_code. Doesn't seem to be used for anything?

Named jingle_demo_legend_pm01, The Intro to Legendary Events. No longer used because the Legendary Adventures lacks the Legendary Event opening movies where this plays.

Scrubbed Tracks#

The only song to be straight up overwritten is "Battle! Ash" also otherwise known as "1・2・3", which is the opening theme for the Pokémon Journeys anime. This song played in a Special Event named Challenge from Ash that could be played once per day from August 28th 2022 until September 27th 2022. On the final day of the Event (September 26th), an update was released which replaced "Battle! Ash" with a 1-second no audio file. Effectively removing it from the game.

Even after not giving Ash a Song Key it seems like DeNA were ordered to remove it once the collaboration had ended, likely due licensing/royalties issues.

2.24.0 - 2.25.1

2.26.0 - Current

Naming Oddities#

Any theme that regards regions uses the initial letter of the region's name (Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Isshu in Unova's case). Kalos uses the letter C as Kanto already uses K.

Battle! (Alola Trainer) is named bgm_battle_gl_a. The other battle_gl themes are the various Gym Leader themes. Likely because the theme was only meant for Alola's Captains before it was applied to other trainers from Alola, such as Elio and Selene.

Battle! (Sinnoh Frontier Brain) is named bgm_battle_fb_js. This is because Pokémon Platinum's Battle Frontier also reappeared in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver with minor changes.
