One of Nintendo\u2019s biggest properties is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2021,\u00a0so Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are pulling out all the stops to make\u00a0Pokemon<\/em><\/strong>‘s\u00a0milestone year special. As part of The Pokemon Company\u2019s plans, <\/span>a virtual concert featuring Post Malone<\/span><\/a>\u00a0was planned for Pokemon Day this year. With the concert wrapped up, more details are being revealed about other Pokemon<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>musical plans for they year.<\/p>\n

Last month, The Pokemon Company announced a special music program, called <\/span>P25 Music<\/span><\/em>, to celebrate Pokemon<\/em>\u2019s 25th anniversary in partnership with Universal Music Group. Pop icon\u00a0<\/span>Katy Perry was revealed as the headliner for P25 Music<\/em><\/span><\/a>, and is considered the program\u2019s premiere artist.

The Post Malone Virtual Concert aired tonight and showcased a digital version of the artist as he sang three songs to a multitude of mainly\u00a0Pokemon<\/a>\u00a0audiences. At the end of the concert, The Pokemon Company revealed\u00a0another artist that would be part of the P25 Music<\/em> series is J Balvin, a reggaeton singer who is currently one of the best-selling Latin music artists.<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone magazine has released more information as well, such as the fact that Pokemon 25: The Album<\/em> will feature 11 different artists, and have 14 tracks. Balvin’s track will be fully in Spanish, and his goal with the piece is to\u00a0get “everybody to vibe with Pokemon.” Katy Perry, J Balvin, and one other secret artist will also release music videos and merchandise later this year.<\/p>\n

Pokemon<\/em> fans got a taste of what the P25 Music<\/em> program had to offer when Post Malone sang a cover of Hootie & the Blowfish\u2019s 1994 track \u201cOnly Wanna Be with You.<\/a>”\u00a0The original \u201cOnly Wanna Be With You\u201d has a distinctly 90s feel to it, so it’s fitting that it’s the first song released for a series that originated in that decade. Malone\u2019s cover is modern, but still features nostalgic Pokemon<\/em> chiptunes, making it unique. If this track is anything to go by, then there will be plenty of cool music coming to fans\u2019 way soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
