Ed Sheeran and Pokemon collaborate for a fresh music video!
Pokemon is a phenomenon that has gripped the world for well more than a decade now. Most of us grew up watching Ash and performed his signature dialogue, “I choose you,” amongst our friends and in private. Ed Sheeran is one of us.
The song Celestial, recently released via his official YouTube account, depicts him hanging out with Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and many more who join him as he goes about his regular life.

This video was illustrated by Rui Ikeda and directed by Naomi Izumida; it focuses on a relationship between a young lady and a vampire musician who thrives in the dead of night. You can watch it here if you haven’t already.
The upcoming games will contain a brand new action titled Terastal, which can turn a creature into a shinier version akin to a gem. This, in turn, will also help the Pokemon become stronger to attack the enemy more effectively.
