Why Ed Sheeran is in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
  • last year
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may not have fancy pants graphics, but they do have got one thing: Ed Sheeran. The popular music man has contributed a song to the new game, primarily because he absolutely loves Pokemon and he just wants to be involved.

In this video, we explore Sheeran's childhood playing Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Silver with his brother. We learn about how much he enjoyed Pokemon Black, and we see a recreation of the Squirtle tattoo that he has on his elbow.

We'll revisit his performance within Pokemon Go, and the time he got caught singing at a kareoke bar in Tokyo while wearing a Snorlax onesie.

We'll take a brief detour to discover what UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE creator Toby Fox was given by way of inspiration when he was also asked to contribute music to the game.

And, of course, we'll find out why Ed made a song for the game: basically, he met the developers at Game Freak, someone suggested he make a song, and he was very excited to take them up on the offer.
