Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Will Feature Ed Sheeran's New Song "Celestial"
When you think of catchy songs that have appeared in Pokemon games you think of Cynthia's battle music or the classic Pokemon theme tune - well, I do anyway. What you don't think of is officially chart music by one of the most popular musicians on the planet, but that's going to be the case with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet as Ed Sheeran's new song Celestial will apparently feature somewhere in the game.
As reported by Serebii, Celestial will be the first song included in a Pokemon game that actually has lyrics. We don't know where the song will pop up, but it's unlikely it'll start playing when you hit Route 6. Most likely, the song will be featured in either the opening of the game or the credits. Reputable Pokemon insider CentroLeaks has also suggested that Sheeran's song will play near the end and has also claimed that the final chapter of Scarlet & Violet will be a real tear-jerker. The song's official music video is embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
