The ‘Circles’ hitmaker will perform as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for the iconic animated franchise on February 27, which has been dubbed ‘Pokemon Day’.<\/p>\n

A trailer for the free event shared on the official Pokemon YouTube channel, where the set will be streamed, features a cartoon version of the Grammy-nominated artist.<\/p>\n

In a statement, he said: “I\u2019ve been a Pokemon fan for a long time, so the opportunity to headline the Pokemon Day concert celebrating 25 years is awesome.”<\/p>\n

Malone’s involvement comes after it was announced that Katy Perry is teaming up with the franchise on P25 Music, a new venture to mark the milestone.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old pop star – who gave birth to daughter Daisy in August – was even more keen on the “playful” collaboration now she’s a mother.<\/p>\n

The ‘Smile’ hitmaker said: “I love being a part of anything that is playful and is good storytelling and has really good messages to share with the world. Now having a child myself, I understand that it’s so important to play. This is a continued extension of who I am.”<\/p>\n

Katy recalled the “amazing” experience she had visiting The Pokemon Cafe in Japan in 2019.<\/p>\n

She said: “I was pregnant when I was there actually, little did I know! It was amazing. It brought up all these wonderful childhood memories. I’ve been going to Japan since I was 17 every year and have always really loved everything that’s been created there.”<\/p>\n

And the ‘American Idol’ judge hopes the Pokemon project gives her fans something to look forward to this year as things are so “unknown”.<\/p>\n

She said: “In this moment of unknown, there are dependable places and characters and institutions and people, and I hope I can be one of them. That’s what I hope for in my personal self, and even in my involvement with this collab.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
