"Celestial"

[Orion☆]

So... Ed Sheeran released a new song with a Pokémon-themed video, and he has confirmed that the song will be played at some point in the new games.

My question is, how and when do you think the song will be featured? Do you believe it will be the credits song, the background to a major cutscene or plot point, an Easter egg like the ending song in Sw/Sh, or something else? Share your guesses here!

Guesses the credits or something more out of the way. Imagines some concert hall based on Teatro Real playing it too. Would be an interesting landmark to differentiate cities.

Piers could return with an Ed Sheeran voice.

Gotta say I think it's really funny to do this. Harmless, but funny. TPC loves weird shows of pageantry lately.

I am going to say it maybe a credits song, but never know.

Sir, this is a serious contender for "Reply of the Year." This made at the very least my entire month and the next too.

Anyway, I've been prying around plot leaks for the game, and I think this is connected to...

Spoiler:

...Arven and his possible connection to Sada and Turo. The latest leaks suggest that Sada and Turo are indeed his parents (big surprise, I know) and that they are in a time-displaced relationship (à la The House by the Lake), so the song might serve as the backdrop for some sort of flashback to happier times before the three got separated. Additionally, the song, for some reason, reminds me of "Dos Oruguitas" from Encanto, which adds further fuel to the flashback theory.

I have mixed feelings about this, mostly related to the fact that none of three characters in question have endeared themselves to me enough to justify wasting this wonderful song on their plotline. I can't stop thinking about it, however, which is why I brought it up here.

If you ask me what I really want this song to be about in-game, it's the main character's bond with Koraidon or Miraidon. We know that we'll have them around from the beginning of the game, so Game Freak could finally throw us a bone and have us properly bond with it the way Lillie did with Nebby (and the way I suspect we were going to bond with Zygarde in a third version of the Kalos games), and bond with it more strongly than we did with Zacian/Zamazenta in Sw/Sh. If Koraidon/Miraidon come from a paradoxical past/future, however, this song could serve as the backdrop for our inevitable separation with them (or Arceus forbid, their sacrificing themselves to protect us from the overarching villain.)
