Ed Sheeran is causing a sensation on TikTok with a video that\u2019s got everyone talking. The singer-songwriter has been a longtime Pokemon fan, so much so that he even teamed up with the franchise in 2022 to write and produce a song for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Now, Sheeran has lived out another Pokemon fantasy by playing Pokemon Stadium in a real-life stadium. Yes, you read that correctly. While traveling the globe for his Mathematics Tour, Sheeran has been active on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes clips of him rehearsing ahead of shows and some of the shenanigans he and his team get up to during their downtime. His most recent TikTok, which has been seen over 3.5 million times in just over 24 hours, garnered the attention of Pokemon fans in a big way. The video starts with a close-up of Sheeran seated on the floor of a giant Stadium, holding a Nintendo Switch controller. He then looks at the camera and makes a surprising statement: \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t a musician, I\u2019d be a virgin.\u201d The camera then pans up to the Jumbotron, revealing that the Irish-born star is playing Pokemon Stadium, an achievement TikToker users have dubbed the \u201cUltimate Pokemon Stadium!\u201d Now that Sheeran\u2019s love for Pokemon Stadium is out in the open, fans are eager to battle against him. One user commented, \u201cMate, give me a time and place, and I\u2019ll play all of those Pokemon Stadium mini-games.\u201d Another even suggested that Sheeran \u201ccasually pull out [his] Switch during a concert and challenge someone to a battle.\u201d Pokemon Stadium is a classic cult game released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. Despite being almost thirty years old, it is still widely popular. Many hope it will one day be given the remaster treatment similar to how Pokemon Snap was remodeled for the Switch in 2021. Despite not receiving a remaster, the game can still be played on the Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Sheeran lives every trainer\u2019s fantasy playing Pokemon Stadium in actual stadium TikTok: Ed SheeranEd Sheeran just fulfilled every trainer\u2019s dream by playing Pokemon Stadium on a Jumbotron in an actual stadium.
