The first is at 12:11 in Episode 28, when Kojiro starts talking about "art" and roses appear in the background. Then a 7-second long BGM plays. Be sure to verify that it's really not on any CD.

Yeah that's definitely not released. Uses trumpets ect. The series does have a few BGM tracks like that which I don't think will ever be released. I added it just for reference.

There seems to be another unreleased BGM at 12:21, in Episode 34, when a flashback is made to Tomo's past. Not sure if it's a music, because at first those are just the Garura "singing", but then there seems to emerge a lullaby music out of it. Check if you please.

I wouldn't consider that 'music', its just Pokemon humming. If there was instruments playing like Purin's song, then that would probably be worth mentioning. I just consider that part 'dialog' lines.

Yeah, but keep hearing the scene until around 1-2 minutes later after the Pokémon begin humming. I think I heard a music emerge after/at the end of that humming.

Added it as "Garura Humming Song", there does seem to be a big time gap there between BGM tracks and at least people would know that something is actually there without haven't to go into the episode to double check. It's definitely a 'one of' though.

Today I added the BGM for the episodes 36-38. In the episode 37 one of the previous unreleased tracks ("Swimming Ballet") played again, which I noticed and put in the list.

I also added all the tracks for episode 39 and 40 today. That Swimming Ballet track is used quite often and I'm surprised that it's not included on either cd's. Will be interesting to see just how many episodes its in.

PM40 - 14:44 - 1997-1998-M27 激闘果てしなく~逃げろや逃げろ! - Japanese (Trans): Run Away, Run Away!
Just need to double check that's the right track.

I think that track played 3 times already - in episodes 7, 15 and now 37. The problem is, the site system doesn't link to unreleased tracks, which makes it impossible to count the number of times they play, unless one counts it by himself.

Yeah, that's the one that plays.

Well, for today I added the BGMs of the episodes 41-43 (I was planning to do the 39-41, but since you've done 39 and 40, I moved to the next ones).
One small thing to report in Episode 41: there seems to play a fast version of the music at 10:02, probably due to the smaller amount of frames given to the Rocket Gang Motto there.
In Episode 42 drums play at 11:36, right after the commercial break. They are the same ones that play at 05:06 in Episode 23.

Thanks for double checking that track. I thought I'd help out with the adding some more music. The site does keep track of the unreleased tracks in the database so eventually I'll create a separate page listing the unreleased tracks used in the series.

It would be great if such a page would be created. That way we would know the real number of unreleased tracks, where and when they play, etc.

I added the BGM for the episodes 44-46. In the episode 45 the Rocket Gang's Song played, after checking Rocket Gang CDs from 1997 to 2010 I'm very positive it was never released on one, so I marked it as Unreleased.
And as I (and you) advance through the episodes, I'm noticing more and more musics debuting in the show.

That track at 6:33 in PM45 is Rocket Gang Forever. The actual CD has a bit more of an introduction so that's why you might have missed it. http://www.pocketmonsters.net/cd/4#Track-233 It could actually be considered a TV version but since its unlikely they will ever release a 'TV version', assigning the full CD track version as the music should be sufficient.

Added music tracks for:
http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/47#Music
http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/48#Music

In PM48, there seems to be another unreleased track. It sounds very similar to http://www.pocketmonsters.net/cd/214#Track-3912 but not quite which makes me believe its the B track for this one that hasn't been released. That needs to be double checked incase I missed this track somehow.

Darn, I should have heard the track in its full 30-second preview instead of just hearing the beginning and moving on. Glad that you were able to recognize it.

The only part that felt similar for me was the very beginning of the music, but I guess that's enough to make it a "B" version of the other one. I can't find that track in the "Best" CDs and Anime Sound Collection back from 1998, so I think it's definitely unreleased. The description you made can be kept.

Today I put the BGM of the episodes 49-51 (of course!) and couldn't recognize a track in the Episode 50. This time I heard all the CD tracks released up to the point the episode aired, but still couldn't find the music. Keep in mind though that I only heard the 30 second previews.
I also heard another seemingly unreleased track in the Episode 51 and can't remember it being ever released.
