The year is 2019.
The sound of bagpipes greet you as you enter the Wild Area for the first time. You check a Pokémon Den and encounter your first Gigantamax Pokémon.

The year is 2016.
You’re prepared to choose Rowlet, Popplio or Litten as you pop open your Nintendo 3DS. During your first Island Trial, you discover Z-Moves.
On your TV, it looks like Team Rocket’s taken a break and opened a malasada stand.

The year is 2013.
After starting your game, you visit a boutique and you’re looking super fresh! Your Ampharos reacts to Ampharosite and Mega Evolves.
Plus, your Eevee just evolved into Sylveon!

The year is 2011.
You've battled long hours on the Battle Subway on your way to visit N’s Castle for your showdown against Team Plasma.
Whatever happens, you're unfazed because you just pulled a full art Mewtwo-EX card from the #PokemonTCG.

In anticipation of the Pokémon Day virtual concert on Saturday, February 27, Post Malone has released a cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s smash 1995 hit “Only Wanna Be with You” – appropriately dubbed the “Pokémon 25 Version”. The original record was last on the Billboard charts 25 years ago and Post recorded his version to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pokémon. The song will be included as part of Post’s headlining appearance in the Pokémon Day virtual concert which begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. EST / 4:00 p.m. PST on February 27 and can be viewed for free on the official Pokémon YouTube and Twitch channels, and on Pokémon’s 25th anniversary website. In the meantime, fans can find links to the song here: https://PostMalone.lnk.to/OWBWYPR
