Default Are you ready for D-O-G-A-R-S [Spoilers]?

Well I am, who else likes the new Gym Themes, that was a dandy li'l feature they put in the games, I never even thought of new gym themes, I would have expected the usual old gym theme, not a unique one for every gym.

Yes I do agree I personally think it's a really nice touch and change of pace to make the gyms more diverse and original.

I'm really looking forward to what gym themes they'll do in future games, like a gym theme being played on pan flutes and other older instruments.

Having each gym have a different take on the original was a great change and definitely brought out the flavor in the gym's type and the leader's personality.
On the subject of Dogars, I listen to 15 minute videos of it because I love love love that song, and I even learned how to play parts of it on my piano.

Koffing's Japanese name, and it's Dogars (or Dogasu)

It's a certain Gym's theme song.

One! Two! Three! Four! Deee-ohhh-geee-ehhh-arrr-esss-DOGARS!

It's really catchy, by the way.

To simply put it, each gym now has a different theme to match the type of gym it is and the personality of the leader...moreso the personality of the leader in many cases.
So this gym features a band and they play this song. The lyrics being D-o-g-a-r-s Dogars! I wonder if they'll translate it...

Think it might get Village Bridge'd? As in, left alone, Japanese intact?

Or will we get a bit of a timing edit and get K-O-F-F-I-N-G?

Or K-O-F-F-I-N?

Well, in Village Bridge, those weren't exactly "words", just like sounds sung in a Japanese sounding style. I'm hoping t hey'll go for something with the same amount of letters like P-O-I-S-O-N or K-O-F-F-I-N (But NOT Smogon) Doing a time jump with Koffing seems like it would sound messy, and less catchy.

But hey, they kept the ominous chanting of the romanized Geechisu in Ghetsis' theme, they might keep Dogars, too.

Ohhhh this song. It's been stuck in my head for the past week because of how catchy it is. In the English version of BW2, I think the lyrics will be P-o-i-s-o-n instead.

I'm so obsessed with this song I spontaneously decided to recreate it in 8-bit. I'm almost done, too...
I blame it on the left handed bass.

The remixed gym themes all have my attention caught. Having each theme be different really solidifies the individuality of the gym leaders, and really seems like something that should've been done a long time ago. As for Dogars, I don't know if they should change it or not, as a version for North America and Europe would be nice. Even so, it would be hilarious as everyone (that isn't on this site) attempts to piece together what "Dogars" even is

And now with this officially tagged as spoilers, while unfortunately keeping within the gym song limitations, I have to say I'm looking forward to Elesa's Gym, Clay's Gym, and Marlon's Gym, as well as Roxie's. The flavor they give to the look of the gyms and how much they reflect which leader...they really put a lot of effort in to this one.
Elesa's with her stylishness and the "Gimme what I need!"
Clay's with an underground/jungle vibe.
And Marlon's with a "Just chill, you're on island time" feeling.

I thought this was awesome.
The music from the fourth Gym was pretty nice.

I have to admit, Elesa got such am unbeliavable yet awesome upgrade to her gym. And I even detected some voices that sounded like they were from TWEWY. When I buy this game, I will shout "Gimme what I need" for a whole week.

Well, I must say I'm pretty disappoined by what they did to the music in Roxie's gym. Instead of keeping Dogars, or even switching to "Poison," they switched it to "Pokémon." I have to say, it kind of ruins the beat of the song for me...

That's terrible that they didn't do poison. I really liked that...
