Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection launches on iTunes today

Today, The Pokémon Company International released a digitally remastered soundtrack from the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire video games.

Released in Europe in July 2003, Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire were set in the island region of Hoenn, based on a real-world location, with the composers—Junichi Masuda, Gō Ichinose, and Morikazu Aoki—taking much of their inspiration from the Japanese island of Kyushu. Over ten years after the games’ original launch, the soundtrack releasing today includes beautifully adapted and orchestrated versions of their music.

Fans looking to complete their collections can look forward to more from the Pokémon musical archives with upcoming Super Music Collections from:
  • Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl
  • Pokémon Black and Pokémon White
  • Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2
Today’s launch follows other digitally remastered soundtracks in the Super Music Collection series. These have included Pokémon X & Pokémon Y, Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen, and most recently Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver.

Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection can be downloaded on iTunes now at the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/pokemon-ruby-pokemon-sapphire/id820996217

Don't know the reason why all the tracks weren't included on the iTunes collection. SLATEPORT CITY has Japanese lyrics but that didn't seem to stop them with the TRICK MASTER track. The Gym and badge themes are the same ones from FireRed and LeafGreen Collection, so just duplicated.

Its possible they couldn't get all the rights to distribute worldwide on iTunes.
