The
new series boasts new characters along with an engaging storyline, featuring
Captain Pikachu at the helm of an airship. As a first-of-its-kind collaboration
between Indian artists and The Pokémon Company, the new opening and closing
tracks offer a unique blend of local flavour to the Pokémon series specially
curated for the Indian audience. The collaboration also underscores the brand's
dedication to establishing a formidable presence in the Indian entertainment
landscape. These tracks capture the spirit of our childhood and promise to warm
our hearts.
Sharing
their thoughts on the collaboration with The Pokémon Company, Vishal &
Sheykhar said, "We were thrilled to receive the call to collaborate with
Pokémon. We've crafted tracks that capture the essence of fun and adventure
synonymous with the brand, infusing them with a distinct Indian flair to deeply
resonate with our local audience. We hope these tracks will keep reminding
people of the animated series even when they are away from their TV sets."
Also
present at the event, Armaan Malik said, "It’s surreal to think that the
Pokémon cards I traded as a kid would lead me to sing the opening track for
Pokémon Horizons in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Growing up, watching Pokémon
everyday was a ritual and now, to be a voice that carries this legacy forward
with the Horizons series is not just an honour, it's a full-circle moment for
me. Vishal-Sheykhar have infused traditional sounds with Pokémon's global charm
to create a melody that resonates with fans across generations. I can’t wait
for everyone to experience this thrilling blend of nostalgia and new
adventures.”
Adding
to the excitement, Shirley Setia said, “It’s always an honour to be able to
create something that resonates so well with our childhood. In fact, I have
collected Pokémon soft toys and collectibles that I absolutely loved and still
do. Lending my voice to this iconic franchise has been an incredible experience
and I hope the tracks will leave a lasting impression among fans.”
Adding
on, Rashmi & Virag, lyricists of the song, commented, 'Writing lyrics for
the Pokémon show feels like revisiting the days when we watched it with our
daughter. We want kids to enjoy the same spirit of fun and adventure through
our lyrics.”
As
the first episode is set to launch on May 25th on Hungama, Pokémon invites fans
old and new to embark on this thrilling new adventure together.
