By Patron Votes: Vs. Penny (Pokémon Scarlet/Violet), arranged in the styles of her team (Patreon)

Hello everyone! It's time to kick off 2023 with a bang, with one of my largest arrangement projects in a long while. This month I had you choose between some themes from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, and you chose Penny's battle theme! It became quite a challenge to figure out how to approach it, as the relentless, partying synth of the original is not my usual subject to arrange! But I wasn't far into sketching ideas when I had one thought that would stick: Penny's team has a theme, right? All her Pokémon are different evolutions of the Pokémon Eevee. So, what if I arranged the music in six different styles based on these six different Eeveelutions, in the order she sends them out into battle? Of course this made the production six times as large and complex, and my decade-old Macbook is not happy with me... but I'm very happy with this result! I hope you enjoy this new arrangement, and be sure to check out more details below, there's timestamps, art, and the over 100 instruments that make up this track!

You'll hear the styles separated by their respective Eeveelutions' cries, I've listed when the style changes occur:

Umbreon (Dark type): 0:02

Vaporeon (Water type): 0:52

Jolteon (Electric type): 1:30

Flareon (Fire type): 2:18

Leafeon (Grass type): 3:15

Sylveon (Fairy type, Terastallized with extra Fairy type): 3:52

One last push: 4:50

Here's art that I'll be using for the video release tomorrow! The thumbnail:
