Heyo all.
The idea I have is fairly simple in concept, but would be fairly difficult in execution. It would take a combined effort of several talented members on the site, and it would take a long time to complete, I'd imagine.
Every Pokemon game has a soundtrack: music for the routes, for the cities, for battling, for story moments, etc. The list is exhaustive. Not only does each game have its own soundtrack, but the soundtracks are connected through common themes and use of common instruments/sounds. It creates a real feeling of continuity.
I think that if we gathered some willing musicians who would put in the time and effort, it could become a really intense and really amazing project for the benefit of the site. It's not like you'd need to buy the soundtrack or write code to make the sounds play. Just think of it as a companion that you could listen to, either for muse or to get you pumped for various sections of the site.
I understand that this would be a massive undertaking, but I believe that a Pokemon Cheyenne soundtrack would be a tremendous addition to the site.
Let me know what you think!

Last time we left Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up on constant loop for my birthday people just complained. Especially when you have multiple tabs, where the song will just keep playing and playing and you'd have to turn the music in each tab off all of the time. It would be the same problem as giving the cbox that bleep bloop sound. (╥﹏╥)
Usually what people do is listen to their own music on youtube. That way they can just control the things they want, and all they have to do is keep it in another tab. If they want it to loop? Use infinitelooper or youtube repeat. I...also don't really think any of us are good musicians that can pull something off like that. Resix is said to be awfully good at doing "The Mario" at least, does that count?

I didn't really envision it being something that you would listen to while actively posting. Just like sort of a companion thing to get you in the mood.
Also, I thought it would be cool if people could have custom theme songs for their characters. It could be like a reward or something.
As for the musicianship, I'd like to undertake a lot of it myself. I'm sure there are more talented people out there though, and I'd like their help for sure.
Maybe if I crank out some demos and let you guys take a listen, you could get a better feel for what I'm talking about. Whatchu say?

Several people already have theme songs for their characters already. That's more of something they add on their own for fun, not something that would count as a suggestion for the site in general. :< If you could find another way we could use that as a suggestion, then that would be interesting. I'd like to see what you could come up with.
A Cheyenne soundtrack actually sounds like something that would for now belong in the art section instead of an actual rule/change made by admins. Unless there was some kind of contest going on for it, ya know? I feel like even then, it would be a rather limited contest because not everyone is capable of having the tools to do it. Perhaps in some kind of OOC art contest you could submit this as an entry? It sounds like fun, but not something that admins could really use and put in the site.
Members could feel free to talk in here about it though, naturally! If you guys want to do your own fun project, go nuts. We'd love to see your talents in action~<3

Haha, thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely keep the project alive in the back of my mind. Maybe you'll see some stuff soon, eh? Thanks for listening, Spirit.
