How to watch: Post Malone to headline Pokemon Day virtual concert Saturday
Pokémon #Pokémon
Feb. 27 is Pokemon Day, marking 25 years since Pokemon Red and Green came out in Japan, and rapper Post Malone is headlining a virtual concert to mark the anniversary. It’ll kick off at 4 p.m. PT Saturday (7 p.m. ET/12 a.m. Sunday GMT/10 a.m. Sunday AEST) and will be embedded below as soon as it’s available. We got a sneak preview Thursday, with Malone’s cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s ’90s classic Only Wanna Be With You.
For now enjoy the trailer, in which the musician undergoes an unnerving CGI transformation.
