Title: Cycling Suite
Game: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl
Composer: Hitomi Sato, Go Ichinose
Arranger: Colin Eng
Featuring: Alex Barker (Cello), Silas Roger (Trumpet)

“Cycling Suite” is a two piece suite, blending the two iconic Pokémon Diamond and Pearl tracks: “Route 206” (aka “The Cycling Road”) and “The Cycling Theme.” The Cycling Road consists of a downhill, paved slope that can only be traversed once the player has acquired their bicycle. The joyful fanfare that the player is greeted with upon arrival solidifies the feeling of achievement and desire to push forward in their journey. “The Cycling Theme” is a fast paced tune that invokes feelings of the Sinnoh environment flashing by as the wind blows across your face. Together, these two pieces create a suite that is the perfect soundtrack for a virtual journey on two wheels.
