#### Sound Thieves

It may just be me and paranoid thoughts, but I have reason to believe that the guys at GameFreak are music thieves. Now, I'm not saying they're completely unoriginal, but they have in-game songs that are disturbingly close to songs in older games.
In example:
Watch

and compare it to

Also watch

I don't think so purely coincidence.

I've been listen to the Route 113 song for half a decade and I don't hear any similarities between it and the Earthbound title screen(so where is it from?) music. Totally different. However, the lower pitch section in the Pokemon Gold music and the xylophone part in the Angel Island Zone music match up perfectly, as well as the melody in the beginning. However, the drums are much simpler in Pokemon Gold.

I'm not finished yet. My goal behind this thread is to find at least 15 songs within the pokémon games that sound too much like songs from other games. Then make the official statement. And on that note:

It's not the title screen music. Maybe a better version would help.

The only similarity in any of these songs is the first few notes from GSC Game Corner and Angel Island Zone matching. You're doing it wrong.

These are definitely related, or at least they seem to be. Similar drums, wind instruments, and overall tune. By the way, how do you find these similar songs? Do you have a backlog of pokemon-related music copyright conspiracy theories?

Long story short: Over 70% of the music on my iTunes is Video Game Music. Plus, most of these are games I grew up playing. I just notice these things. And as for the conspiracy thingy, probably not. But it wouldn't be the first time Nintendo had sound thievery or subliminal propaganda.

Both those tracks sound awesome when played in cannon. (or however the fuck you spell it.)

I don't expect everyone to. Also they apparently stole the same song, twice, for one game.

Those last two were eerily the same.
