How dare someone put a lot of time and effort into something and then sell it.

According to the creator (a 21 year old college student)'s site, this is a fully licensed album. I don't how much that costs, but at minimum he has to get back that money right? I don't remember whether he asked for donations and stuff before, but considering how good this preview his, he well-deserves the money he'll hopefully get from this.

If I remember correctly, this was on Kickstarter prior to it being a fully licensed album with the help of Joypad Records.

Also, stop complaining if he's selling it, because this particular aspect of the overall project (Pokemon Reorchestrated) has been going on for over a year now (probably a year and a half or even two) and is not easy. Imagine yourself, a student, who takes free time to put together amazing arrangements, just to release them for free... Hmmm....

Edit: Three more things:
1. According to his website, yes the whole album is set to be available for streaming on YouTube.
2. Here's a link to that Kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/braxton/pokemon-reorchestrateds-kanto-symphony?ref=live.
3. Here's a quote from the original Kickstarter proposal:

Now I think it's finally time to tackle the soundtrack to the games that started it all: Pokémon Red and Blue Versions for the Game Boy. For the next few months, I'll be arranging every memorable Pokémon theme on a journey from Route 1 to Indigo Plateau, and through the magic of highly-realistic, sampled orchestral instruments and the help of a few LIVE solo instrumentalists, a complete album of FREE, beautiful, cinematic arrangements called "Kanto Symphony" will emerge.

This shows that the album was going to be free, until Joypad approached (or the other way around) him and asked if he wanted it to be licensed and sold. Oh, and it raised $9,375 of its $8,000 goal.
