Fans are expressing their concerns after The Pokémon Company seemingly used fan-created music in a recent trailer for the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. The uproar began shortly after today’s Pokémon Presents wrapped up. While many tuned in for updates on things like Detective Pikachu Returns and the aforementioned add-on content, musician NightDefined (a.k.a. ND) noticed that some of the footage featured music they created.

The tunes in question can be heard just three minutes into the latest trailer for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet’s The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. It takes up a relatively small portion of the video, but it’s still a moment that is hard to ignore once you’ve heard ND’s arrangement for yourself. ND uploaded the music, which is essentially a more cinematic version of DLC’s music, in December 2022. ND says The Pokémon Company included the music in its trailer without their permission, with no credit to be found. It’s worth noting the musician’s original upload does give credit to Nintendo, developer Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and The Pokémon Company, as well as composers Go Ichinose and Toby Fox, but the uncredited use of ND’s specific arrangement in the trailer remains perplexing.

Jokes aside, was the music created using in-game existing music, or is it totally new with a lift from the original? If it's just breaking down existing music and shifting tones, I don't know if that counts as being "your own" and therefore need permission.

probably whatever advertising agency they used.

Can't expect much from a billion indie team.

I think he would complain that this thing is so flat and dry he would be more comfortable if he sleep on a rock.

Nah he actually made it way better reconstructing it with new instruments in a modified arrangement lol.
