This is a fanmade edit of the Aqua/Magma Grunt theme in an attempt to give the admins their own battle theme that they lacked in the original games.


Wohoho! I think this one turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. I've always wanted admin themes for each evil team. It puzzles me how the Galactic Commanders got their own battle theme back in 2007, but neither Team Rocket or Magma/Aqua's got one in all the remakes that came out afterward. What's up with that? So, I made one for the latter.

I used an Aqua/Magma Grunt MIDI as a base to make this, but there are a lot of changes. I changed the main instruments, changed the intro, and added a bunch of countermelodies that weren't there originally, such as the french horn line during the main melody after the intro. It's all intended to be an intensified Grunt theme with some notable tweaks - like the Galactic Commander theme is to the Grunt theme.

As a certified Hoenn kid (Swampert gang rise up), it was extremely satisfying to create and hear the end result. My mixing can always use work and the instruments sound slightly different since they weren't recorded from the game itself. That in mind, I like how it turned out a lot.
