To celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, Pokemon is teaming up with popular musical artists including Katy Perry to create the soundtrack for its year of anniversary festivities.
Starting in March with the Galar region, the Pokemon Company will be taking a look at a past Pokemon region each month. There will also be various events, promotions, and merchandise released throughout the year to celebrate this landmark anniversary.
To tease these upcoming festivities, and its collaboration with Perry, the Pokemon Company has released a special video that’s a major nostalgia trip. It follows a sort of Pokemon-themed Rube Goldberg machine launching Poke Balls through various city and landscapes, complete with Game Boy cartridges toppling like dominoes, holographic trading cards, and all the plushies you could imagine. Detective Pikachu even makes a cameo.
