Pokémon Winds and Waves were announced in February as part of Pokémon’s 30-year anniversary celebration. Their announcement trailer offered prospective Pokémon trainers an early idea of what to expect from the next mainline Pokémon adventure as well as a first look at Generation 10’s new starter trio (they’re all my favorites).
The Pokémon Company shared a new look at Winds and Waves on Wednesday. Instead of a new trailer, though, it’s a behind-the-scenes video of the recording of Winds and Waves‘ main theme song. Dozens of musicians from the NHK Symphony Orchestra recorded the orchestral theme, which fans have already taken to. “There’s something about live-recorded music for video games that’s so satisfying to listen to,” one person commented on the YouTube video showing the recording.
Interspersed with the recording are images from the games. Don’t get too excited, though — the behind-the-scenes video uses clips from the original trailer, so there’s nothing new to pore over here. But that won’t stop us, and other Pokémon fans, from theorizing about what Winds and Waves will include.
