You say "technical limitations" like it's a bad thing. Ain't you ever heard of chiptunes?

I adore chiptunes. Much of the fun of replaying old Pokemon games come from the music. The Gen I cries, though, were kind of repetitive. I mean this quite literally: for 151 Pokemon, there were only 37 unique cries that were subtly tweaked in pitch and speed for each species. Some Pokemon (Charizard/Rhyhorn and Poliwag/Ditto) have completely identical cries. That's why I prefer the later generation cries, which are more diverse.
(But all that said, Mewtwo has the best cry after the Chimchar line IMO. You can tell it's epic just by listening to it shriek.)
