In what may be Singapore Archivesthe least expected collaboration of 2021, Pokémon Gois joining forces with singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran for an in-game performance.
That's right: Starting Monday Nov. 22 at 11:00 a.m. PT, players will be able to access songs from Sheeran via the in-game News section in the app.
The two day celebration will also feature an influx of water type starter Pokémon (Sheeran's favourite, apparently), and will bring back the beloved version of Squirtle wearing sunglasses from the series — first added in a Pokémon GoCommunity Day in 2018.
