Post Malone joins forces with the Pokémon Company to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the heavily popular monster-catching game. The megastar is all set to headline a virtual concert that will pay homage to the company's long-standing legacy. 

The company released an eye-catching teaser video along with the news. The video included the rapper turn into an animated version of himself holding a Poke ball in hand right before his performance. This cartoon iteration of the artist is pumped to perform for the globally known company.

"I've been a Pokémon fan for a long time, So the opportunity to headline the Pokémon Day concert celebrating 25 years is awesome." Post Malone told in an official release about his love for the long-running franchise.

In a partnership with Universal Music Group, the Pokémon Company International had announced the P25 Music Program before the reveal of this virtual concert. This is a series of year-long musical events that will celebrate the beloved franchise's video games, fandom, mobile apps, and a lot more. 

Pop star Katy Perry has also been announced to headline a section of the company's series last month. The company has plans to create new music by pairing artists with each other in this Music Program "through the lens of Pokémon"
