Ed Sheeran’s Celestial will feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Sheeran has publicly spoken about his love for the Pokémon franchise. He once revealed that during his early touring days, he played Pokémon Red for nine hours when he got stuck at a train station.

In a separate statement, the Shape of You singer said, "I loved the whole world they created; it kept me distracted if there was negative stuff happening in my life/school that I wanted to avoid. It was a world I could escape into and I've played it ever since. Even though I'm 31 now, I still own the same Game Boy Color and play Pokémon Yellow or Silver on planes and trains when I'm on tour. It's such an honour to add a song into a Pokémon game and shoot a nostalgic video too."
