\"\" <\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company International\u00a0is celebrating 25 years <\/a>of the beloved franchise in a big way with a newly announced collaboration with pop singer Katy Perry. The global music celebration called P25 Music will feature Perry alongside other rising artists to ring in those “gotta catch ’em all” festivities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To celebrate 25 years of Pok\u00e9mon, the company is teaming up with Universal Music Group for Brands to help make the 25th-anniversary party one to remember. This is the largest event to date for the franchise, according to the Pok\u00e9mon Company, and will include “some of the biggest names in music.” Perry’s role in the celebratory event will also extend beyond headlining, she will also be working as a “premier collaborator” throughout the entire year.<\/p>\n

\u201cPok\u00e9mon has been a constant in my life from playing the original video games on my Game Boy to trading Pok\u00e9mon TCG cards at lunch to the adventures of catching Pok\u00e9mon on the street with Pok\u00e9mon Go. I\u2019ve even visited the Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9 in Japan while on tour! It is an honor to be chosen to help celebrate a franchise that has given me so much joy in the last 25 years, and to be able to watch it evolve in the ways it\u2019s provided that kind of electric joy for the kids in my life and around the world,\u201d said Katy Perry in a press release about the Pok\u00e9mon music event.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Katy Perry, we see a kindred spirit to Pok\u00e9mon, whose world is bright, fun and uplifting,\u201d added Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing at The Pok\u00e9mon Company International, in that same press release. \u201cKaty is a wonderful ambassador to help us celebrate 25 years of Pok\u00e9mon, and we can\u2019t wait for music fans everywhere to experience the exciting collaborations we have planned.\u201d<\/p>\n

More details about the ongoing music event will be dropping throughout 2021 alongside the promise of even more exciting reveals on the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon and the significant cultural impact this beloved franchise continues to have around the world. Working together, we have developed dynamic year-round programming involving artists from across UMG\u2019s labels \u2014\u00a0because what better way to create a global celebration than through the power of music,\u201d concluded LJ Gutierrez, General Manager, UMGB.<\/p>\n

In previous years, we’ve seen Pok\u00e9mon Day announcements for new games as well as fun, integrative ways to join the fandom through things like Snapchat filters and special Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0events. While we don’t have details about what could possibly be revealed outside of what we already know (like a new Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/a>), more announcements will be flowing in steadily throughout the year as part of this special 25-year event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While much of the world is still dealing with isolation due to the continued spread of COVID-19 and Stay At Home orders, the power of music should not be discounted. Pairing the delight of music with the love of the adorable Pok\u00e9mon franchise is a recipe for an awesome way to come together as a community.<\/p>\n
