Lots of good work by Supersweep, I find it really interesting how each major group in Lumiose and each promotion match opponent has a Supersweep composer that composed their music and did their battle theme, while a GF composer arranged their general non-battle theme

Adachi did the Team Flare and Lysandre Labs music since she did the Team Flare music back in XY, and surprisingly the entire set of endgame music tracks from Lumiose City in Crisis all the way up to the final boss are all arranged by Hiromitsu Maeba, which I think is his most notable pokemon music credit so far
The base game end credits KISEKI arrangement was also the only track on the soundtrack that Kageyama returned for, lol

Mega Dimension doesn’t really have that much music compared to past DLCs and Supersweep didn’t work ok it either although their compositions are still credited as motifs
And there are a lot of variants of the wild battle themes that I’m not sure are fully documented?

Shinji Hosoe, I guess he only worked on Z-A? I'm looking through older track lists to see if he's a legend before I talk too much shit on him, but I don't see him.
Both Canari and Ivor's themes stood out as being sort of meandering and odd so I'll assume he really did break out AI for much of those. How disappointing. See how that works?

God damn, that's impressive. He's mostly been doing relatively low-key orchestral cutscene music in the previous games (and did a lot of that style of music in Z-A too), I didn't realize he could deliver such a banger as well. I hope he gets to branch out and compose more varied music in future games.
