I'll be the first to admit there's probably some flaws in this. This was an arrangement I had thought about for a little while but never really gave proper attention, so I arranged it in ~3 hours.
Cheers!

- Title is "Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon)".
- I was touching up braix's version of this the other day and accidentally overwrote the file so I lost all my progress. GRAAAAH
- I think there was something besides just C's in the first few measures. Could be remembering wrong, though.
- Idk what it is about your version of Finale, but the sheet looks... weird. Staves and everything are far too large. Can't hear the playback of the RH. Text is far too close to the edge of the page. Try copy-pasting into a template file?
- Needs the bassline in 13-18 (or whatever you call that low voice that isn't the drummy-thing. I tried experimenting with this voice in the rest of the song instead of the line you currently have written in (which I'm not terribly fond of, but may be necessary to make the song sound less empty) but it ended up sounding emptier since it only strikes once every quarter note. Worth a thought though.
- Needs whole rests in 3-4.
- Composer is just Jun'ichi Masuda.
- Rhythm groupings - always try to show the start of beat if possible. So measure 5 and similar: the quarter in the middle can just be turned into an eighth+eighth rest (since the note doesn't last that long anyway). Measure 11 and similar: dotted eighth+sixteenth-tied to eighth+eighth.

I think there was something besides just C's in the first few measures. Could be remembering wrong, though

I can kind of hear something, but it's so minute and perhaps even microtonal (or whatever the word is for "in between one of the 12 recognized whole tones") that I didn't think it was worth trying to notate, since, on a piano, adding anything else outside of the C minor chord would imply a different harmony than is truly there.
 

Idk what it is about your version of Finale, but the sheet looks... weird. Staves and everything are far too large.

Acknowledged; I've played with the settings a bit and it looks better to my eyes. Take a look and let me know what you think

Can't hear the playback of the RH. Text is far too close to the edge of the page. Try copy-pasting into a template file?

Fixed the formatting stuff to a reasonable size and proportion, let me know what you think; for the playback, I don't know what the hell is up with the MIDI file. I'll try and use the other option for storing the voices, but it shouldn't affect my playback just on Finale, so I don't know what's up with that.

Uhm... I actually don't know what you're talking about.

Working on it right now. Will update the OP either shortly after this post or tomorrow morning (yay being tired af)

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Updated the files.

[Tobbeh99]

Change the submission's name to "Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon)".

[braix]

Uhm... I actually don't know what you're talking about.

If you check my sheet for this song I think I have those notes in there that he's referring to. Feel free to take a look.

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Change the submission's name to "Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon)".

Done.

Took a look, and I think I have them, just in different registers than you do.

Edited OP with edited files.

Sorry, just a busy time.

Only seeing the arrangement (without the original) I have these suggestions to improve it visually:
-The RH figure that appears in measure 11 (and every measure following until 16) could be rewritten to make the upper layer start with a dotted eighth note. I would also break the beaming between Beats 1 and 2 for these figures. This would just make it easier to understand at first glance.
-I'd convert the ties in measures 17 and 18 in the LH into dotted eighth notes.
-The tempo Mark seems to be odd since it's in cut time, but like I said I haven't heard the piece yet. I've seen people before use the note value from the time signature first and then a smaller note value in parentheses (when going down in note value, at least). Bwt, it's a little too close to that allegro marking for my liking.

And some formatting issues:
-page 2 title has two closing quotes.
-the subtitle is inconsistent with the subtitle in the OP.

This is the only one here I'm not so sure what you mean by. Could you elaborate, please?
