Johto Legends is 100% Funded! + Moving Forward
over 7 years ago – Wed, May 31, 2017 at 09:25:31 PM

Holy Miltank! We're 100% funded!!!

A huge thanks to all of you for supporting our dream of recording live Pokémon music! We couldn't have done it without you, and we hope that you'll continue spreading the word about our tribute to the second generation Pokémon games before we wrap up our campaign! The more, the merrier. :)  

Before we celebrate....  

....There are still 4 days left! So we'd like to take this opportunity to remind backers that your contributions are not just crucial to our success on Kickstarter -- every pledge adds up to the budget we need to hire the talent for the project, produce CDs, vinyl, pay royalties, fund rewards, etc. While we understand the occasional dropped pledge due to financial hardship or a change of mind, we sincerely hope you'll stay committed to helping our project, just as we've committed to delivering you a spectacular music experience!  

Johto Nuzlocke Livestream on the Final Day  

This Sunday, June 4th, marks the end of our Kickstarter and the final chance for everyone to get their hands on our project rewards before they're gone... So why not a have a little video game 'telethon'? We'll be doing a Nuzlocke run of either GSC or HGSS (still TBD) and showing off previews from the album all day Sunday, so stay tuned for more info!

More updates and previews to come!

Following a successful campaign, we'll be dishing out some exclusive backer-only updates featuring more music from Johto Legends and other exciting developments as the project moves forward! We can't wait to spoil you rotten. >:3c  

Thanks again for all your support,  

~ Braxton and Sebastian

Less than 2 weeks left to fund the album!!
over 7 years ago – Tue, May 23, 2017 at 10:47:40 PM

Hey everyone!

Final arrangements for Johto Legends are going smoothly, and since launching our Kickstarter a few weeks ago, we've managed to raise over 2/3 of our goal! That's.....a LOT of Pokémon fans and music lovers who want to hear our orchestral re-imagining of Gold and Silver's music. <3

Now we're officially in the final stretch of our campaign -- and with ~$12K still left to raise, we need your active support more than ever.

 Ways you can help!

  • Please continue spamming your friends and family with links to our irresistible orchestral previews! :D Preview #1 | Preview #2
  • Tell anyone you know who's listened to Kanto Symphony that there's now a musical sequel in the works! Some of our fans / listeners may not know that Johto is getting the same treatment!
  • Talk about the Kickstarter on social media! Word of mouth is our most essential method of advertising, so let people know what makes you excited for this album! You can even tweet at us about some of your favorite moments from GSC / HGSS that you can't wait to hear highlighted in our upcoming album, and we'll RT our favorite responses!

I absolutely believe that, together, we can reach our goal before our campaign ends on June 4th! So let's give it all we've got!!
