Ed Sheeran Is Coming To Pokémon Go

Today, musical artist Ed Sheeran announced on Twitter that an upcoming collaboration is happening with Pokémon Go. It’s not surprising that celebrities have been linked to many products through these projects and Naruto is playing Fortnite. 

Pokémon has had a deluge of crossovers and collaborative projects over its long lifetime, and seeing Ed Sheeran make the jump from Game of Thrones (and other media!) over to Pokémon is sure to be interesting. With Pokémon being one of the world’s most powerful entertainment brands, extending well outside of the gaming sphere into movies, merch, and much more, this partnership is hardly unusual. What is the best way to make it work?

The exact nature of this collaboration is anyone’s guess, what do you think the artist has in store for the mobile Pokémon game? Are we going to spin magical Ed Sheeran Pokéstops or gyms? We may never know. Perhaps we’ll be able to click together and get the album, while playing with our Bulbasaurs. Do you see the potential collaboration looking like? Perhaps Sheeran will actually become a canonical Pokémon. I mean, it’s not that far off in a world where we have Pokémon that are ya know, keychains. I wonder what you think the outcome of this? Comment below!
