I gotta say I'm very happy YouTube thinks this song is the original song from Pokémon Red/Blue/Green, it means I was able to replicate it very well. I guess calling it "arrange" might be a bit of a stretch, maybe "cover" would be more appropriate.
Regardless of what YouTube thinks, this song was made from scratch using the "FreeBoy" plugin in LMMS. Since there's only 3 instruments present, it was relatively easy to replicate (though it took some time, since I'm still a complete beginner). It seems that this kind of chiptune song is a good starting point to understand how some songs are composed. The real challenge would be composing songs that are not originally chiptune, into a chiptune style. But that's quite different from what I did here, which is trying to copy every note by ear.
