Pokémon 25: The Album will have 14 tracks and will have music by 11 different Universal Music Group artists. The album will be released in the fall by Capitol Records.
In a phone conversation with Rolling Stone, Balvin said, “We’re gonna come up with a crazy song. It’s going to catch everybody’s ear. It’s easy to make a Pokémon song if you just want that fan base, but we’re not close-minded. We want everybody to vibe with Pokémon.”
