So uh, that legendary fight that people were saying didnt have music?

It has music on my copy of the game. It uses the same music as the legendary encounter at the very beginning of the game.

So if it isn't playing music that is very likely a bug.

Odd, a reviewer specifically mentioned that in his review, so if it is a bug, it's a fairly common one.

Yeah, I took a video of it. The fight is SUPPOSED to be like this:


I don't know what triggers the bug but I can confirm it definitely isn't intentional.

It had music for me too. I was thinking it was just one of the pirates who had modified their saves and caused problems which people took as standard, but if a reviewer mentioned it...

Yeah, at least one review mentioned it, and the first time we saw the battle was that /vp/ streamer, who didn't use any cheats.

My point is: It's one thing to criticize Game Freak's design choices regarding certain elements, but it's unfair to call them incompetent when they were basically stuck between a rock and a hard place in getting this game out on time and introducing a brand new Pokemon generation with new big features like the Wild Area and Raid Battles.

While I don't work in game development, I have worked alongside many product managers and engineers over the years and this is so very true. Incompetence is the inability to do something successfully. If the reviews, sales, and experiences of folks like me who are enjoying the heck out of this game is to be trusted, then Game Freak is anything but incompetent.
