The Pokémon Company International and Universal Music Group announced the global availability of Pokémon 25: The Blue EP featuring remixes by GRAMMY-nominated recording artist ZHU. Following the recent release of Pokémon 25: The Red EP, this new release includes remixes of songs by Vince Staples, Mabel, and Cyn. Additional details about these artists’ collaboration with Pokémon as part of the P25 Music program were also announced including an upcoming merchandise collection from ZHU and an “Evolution of a Song” behind-the-scenes video series.
“ZHU’s remixes for Pokémon 25: The Blue EP are a special component of the P25 Music program. His alternate versions of The Red EP songs allow music fans to celebrate a part of Pokémon history while enjoying something completely new and different. Pokémon fans will especially enjoy sound effects from classic Pokémon video games in some of his tracks. ZHU’s mastery of the remix and unique sound, paired with the fantastic original songs, continue to build out the breadth of amazing global artists who have come together to help us celebrate 25 years of Pokémon.”

“I had a great time designing a collection for my merch collaboration with Pokémon. As a lifelong fan of Pokémon, I wanted to bring back a flash of the 90s into today’s fashion. Of course, I had to incorporate my favorite Pokémon Gengar. I can’t wait for my fans to see this unique line and I’m excited for them to hear my new mixes too.”

Meh. The ruby sapphire sound collection was better. Especially the super ancient pokemon battle theme.
They should retcon Avery and Alister from the series. Hop is bad too.
Ugh, not you too, even if it’s a joke.
