Watch ITZY have fun with Arceus in the new commercial “WANNABE A LEGEND”

Pokémon has released a new commercial featuring the girl group “ITZY” from JYP Entertainment on its YouTube channel to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

The 15- and 30-second commercial, titled “WANNABE A LEGEND,” starts with ITZY’s five members dancing to the smash song “WANNABE.” Additionally, you can see all of ITZY’s members enjoying a good time while playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus together in this commercial.

In addition, a campaign called “#PokemonLegendsChallenge” is being held on the video posting platform, TikTok. The official Pokémon TikTok account will sequentially release videos of each member of ITZY challenging the original effect that allows users to take a commemorative photo with Pokémon against the backdrop of the magnificent nature of the Hisui Region, the stage of the game’s adventure.

Interview with ITZY
1. How do you feel about this shoot?
Leah: I grew up watching Pokémon since I was a kid, so I’m very happy to have a tie-up! I had a lot of fun during the filming (laughs). Originally, I liked Snorlax, but I
fell in love with Eevee during this shoot… (laughs)
Ryuujin: It was a great honor and a strange feeling to be a model for a commercial of Pokémon, which I’ve loved since I was a child.
2. Have you ever played a Pokémon game?
Yeaji: I remember walking around and catching Pokémon when “Pokémon GO” was even more exciting than it is now! I think I mainly caught the cute ones.
Ryuujin: I was always playing with a game console when I was little.
Chae-ryong: I was addicted to “Pokémon GO” and once walked around Gangnam Station with YoonA on a cold winter day. It was fun to see so many new Pokémon,
different from my usual commute, and we often walked around even though it was cold!
YoonA: When I was a trainee, I got hooked on “Pokémon GO” with my sister Chae-ryong, and I remember walking around Gangnam Station with her, trying to catch Pokémon with more enthusiasm than anyone else.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a fusion of action and RPG that challenges the expression of the new Pokémon series.
