Ed Sheeran’s ‘Celestial’ In Trailer for New Pokémon Games

Pokémon just released a trailer for their upcoming games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet on Tuesday, November 8th. The trailer featured Ed Sheeran’s latest single “Celestial.” The official UK account for the Nintendo franchise tweeted along with the teaser, “A journey of celestial proportions awaits. Thanks for the incredible track @edsheeran.”

Ed Sheeran first announced the single back in September through showing off his Squirtle tattoo and reminiscing in an Instagram post about how much he enjoyed trading cards and video games as a kid. A music video accompanying the song features Sheeran being zapped out of bed by an animated Pikachu prior to encountering other Pokémon such as Slowpoke, Lapras, Machamp and Charizard. Both Pokémon games, Scarlet and Violet are releasing in stores on November 18th.

In other news, Sheeran teased his upcoming yet untitled studio set’s prospective 2023 release from the set of a windswept music video. Also, just last week, Ed Sheeran set a new chart record in the U.K. by becoming the first and only artist to have four albums chart inside the Official Albums Chart Top 10 for an entire year.
