List of SSBU Music (Pokémon series): Difference between revisions
(→Battle! (Gladion): While I can hear a bit of a resemblance, the general lack of spin-off acknowledgement in the mainline Pokemon games leads to me believe this was probably just a coincidence (that, and it's very common for a sample of one song to resemble that of another, intentionally or coincidentally).) |
