    Pika-boost for Titans as Pokémon powers up 2025 fan experience

    MUMBAI: Gotta catch that crowd! The Gujarat Titans got a supercharged fan boost this IPL season courtesy of Pokémon. As part of an electrifying tie-up for the 2025 league, Pikachu turned up in full Titans gear, spreading sparks from grassroots warm-ups to stadium selfies. The yellow mascot didn’t just show up he showed out. Ahead of the season, Pokémon integrated with the franchise’s Junior Titans programme, a unique under-14 initiative held across five cities in Gujarat. The big moment? A surprise visit by Pikachu himself at the Ahmedabad centre, leading warm-up drills to the upbeat rhythm of Japan’s Radio Taiso Number One, much to the delight of the young cricketers.

    During the league, Pokémon took over the Narendra Modi Stadium, with a vibrant booth drawing in over 42,000 visitors across seven home matches. Kids collected free Pikachu stickers, posed for photos with the mascot, and watched their yellow hero dance and dazzle in a Gujarat Titans jersey.

    Some lucky fans from the Junior Titans squad were also invited to meet Pikachu on game day, a crossover moment that blurred the lines between fantasy and fandom.

    “From the Junior Titans initiative to in-stadium experiences, young fans were excited to interact with Pikachu in Gujarat Titans colours,” said Gujarat Titans COO Colonel Arvinder Singh. “It added a unique dimension to our 2025 campaign.”

    The action spilled beyond the pitch. At Nexus One mall in Ahmedabad, Pokémon hosted a ‘Pokémon Fiesta’, featuring dance shows and games, while Pokémon GO players spotted Gujarat Titans logos on in-game Poké Stops across the city.

    The Pokémon Company corporate officer Susumu Fukunaga noted: “We were able to tap into a new audience we hadn’t reached before. From young cricketers to fans in Ahmedabad, the response was energising.”

    With the Titans reaching the Playoffs, and Pikachu stealing hearts at every turn, this unexpected collab proved one thing: cricket and cartoons make a shockingly good team.

    Pika-boom! Pokémon powers up Realme Hip Hop India Season 2

    MUMBAI: What happens when street dance meets supercharged nostalgia? A thunderclap of a collab. Amazon MX Player’s Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 just got an electrifying upgrade thanks to a first-of-its-kind collaboration with none other than Pokémon. In a move that’s equal parts nostalgia, pop culture, and pure entertainment, the show brought Pikachu straight to the dance floor, and audiences can’t get enough.

    Already clocking over 20.1 million viewers in just five weeks, the show’s fusion with the Pokémon universe marks a fresh cultural crossover where hip-hop meets pocket monsters. The collab kicked off with a high-voltage dance routine featuring a guest appearance by the iconic Pikachu, whose “moves” lit up the stage (and hearts) in true thunderbolt fashion.

    But that’s not all. The fun went digital too, with a wildly imaginative video blending Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket with hip-hop choreography starring none other than judge Malaika Arora. The film cleverly reimagines unboxing Pokémon card packs as dance-offs, where every move channels a Pokémon’s unique power, making it a visual and metaphorical dance of discovery.

    “Our collaboration with Pokémon perfectly reflects Amazon MX Player’s commitment to delivering bold, innovative experiences to our audience,” said Amazon MX Player director Aruna Daryanani. “By bringing together the iconic charm of Pokémon with the raw energy of Realme Hip Hop India Season 2, we’re offering viewers a one-of-a-kind cultural mash-up that is unique and memorable. At Amazon MX Player, we constantly strive to break new ground—crafting immersive entertainment and forging meaningful brand partnerships that truly connect with fans and advertisers alike.”

    Sharing her thoughts on being a part of the campaign, Judge Malaika Arora expressed, “There’s something truly magical about the world of Pokémon – the adventure, the action, the joy of discovery. Pair that with the energy of hip hop, and it just clicks. This was such a fun and imaginative concept to shoot, and it really captures how two different worlds can come together to create something unforgettable. I’ve always believed that dance is a powerful form of storytelling, and this one’s for every kid who loves the world of Pokémon and every dancer chasing that stage.”

    “Our goal with this collaboration was to spark imagination and joy, just as Pokémon has done for fans around the world for decades. Partnering with Amazon MX Player on an impactful show like Realme Hip Hop India S2 gave us the perfect canvas to showcase Pokémon’s playful spirit in a new, movement-driven way. The energy, creativity, and passion seen in this campaign aligns perfectly with what our brand stands for. We are excited to take Pokémon as well as Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket to dance lovers and their loved ones,” shared The Pokémon Company corporate officer Susumu Fukunaga.

    With judge Remo D’Souza also in the hot seat, Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 continues to be a battleground for India’s fiercest dancers, blending underground energy with mainstream swagger. And with brand integrations like Pokémon entering the arena, the show is levelling up in every possible way.

    New episodes drop every Thursday on Amazon MX Player available via the app, Amazon shopping app, Fire TV, and Prime Video. Because when Pikachu meets popping and locking, you don’t want to blink.
