Netflix Reportedly Developing a Live-Action Pokemon Series.Holy Fuck, This Arcanine Pokemon Plush is a Big Boy.It’s a strong cover that fits Posty’s vocal style, but it’s still a little bit of an oddity in an album of otherwise original songs. However, Malone samples Pokemon Gold & Silver’s Ecruteak City music, which gives it that Pokemon touch. But it’s conceptually pretty divided, as well. It’s a cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s “Only Want to Be With You,” which is odd enough on its own because the original song isn’t connected to Pokemon. Post Malone’s contribution, which led to him hosting a digital concert set in the Pokemon universe, is one of the stranger songs on the album. Closing track “Reconnect” by Yaffle, Daichi Yamato, and AAAMYYY goes harder than pretty much anything else on the album, leading with delightful samples of Pokemon Red & Blue’s main menu music and some sound effects while Yamato lays down some slick verses that lead into AAAMYYY’s melodic chorus. Vince Staples ’ “Got ‘Em” is a dreamlike hip-hop song with direct references to several Pokemon (including my personal favorite Raichu, so it’s already earning points for itself). Lil Yachty’s “Believing” hits on the same lyrical notes of “Wonderful” as an earnest proclamation that the adventure is best taken when it’s with others, but makes calls to Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Charmander along the way. While Perry and Cyn capture the adventurous tone of the Pokemon series, other artists on Pokemon 25: The Album are eager to draw from the source material. It’s a world of endless possibilities, and “Wonderful” leans into the joy of discovering those possibilities together - all with a light vocal delivery over a sprawling pop backdrop. Other songs, like Cyn’s “Wonderful,” also fall into the same camp as “Electric” in that they’re not necessarily brimming with overt references to Pokemon instead, they capture an awestruck wonder that is ever-present in the series. With similar lyrical themes of self-empowerment, it feels like a spiritual successor to her 2010 single “Firework” - one that showcases how Perry’s vocals still stand tall against much of her pop contemporaries. Katy Perry, whose contribution has acted as a headliner for the album since its reveal back in January, leads the show with the anthemic “Electric,” which plays on its connection to Pokemon and mascot Pikachu’s electric abilities. Some of these songs have been rolling out over the course of the year, becoming the soundtrack to my Pokemon Unite matches. Many of the tracks found within have direct callbacks to Pokemon, whether that be in a skillful name drop, a soundbite of a Game Boy powering on, or just lyrically delving into the series’ themes of believing in yourself and in others. With Pokemon 25: The Album, a compilation of songs meant to celebrate the series’ turning a quarter of a century, the franchise is finally getting an album that can not only bring in huge pop names like Katy Perry, Post Malone, and Lil Yachty, but also have music that pays tribute to the franchise’s 25-year history lyrically and musically. A lot of those songs were just pulled from their artists’ latest records without much, if anything, that grounded them within Pokemon at all. With names like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and NSYNC contributing to the album, it would define any late 90s Pokemon fan’s background music for at least a few months. Pokemon’s relationship with huge pop music extends back to The First Movie’s licensed soundtrack.
