18-Types of Hatsune Miku Pokemon Trainer

Pokemon and Hatsune Miku are two of the world's most popular and influential franchises. While Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid software application that has gained international fame, Pokemon is a video game series about capturing monsters that has risen to become a massive multimedia empire, boasting the title of the top grossing media franchise in the world. These two seemingly unrelated worlds have collided to provide a spellbinding spectacle: 18 songs, each symbolizing one of the 18 types of Pokemon.

Pokemon and Hatsune Miku's partnership, Project Voltage, exemplifies the power of creativity and artistic exploration. A group of very individualistic creators worked together to challenge traditional modes of expression. The outcome? Fans of both brands will surely enjoy this original fusion of Hatsune Miku and Pokemon that promises to be both a visual and audio delight.

A Daily Dose of Delight

Fans can anticipate a daily release of 18 gorgeous illustrations from September 4 through September 28 depicting Hatsune Miku and her Pokemon friends. Fans worldwide can participate in the excitement when these illustrations go live on September 4th, 7 PM JST (6 AM EST). Six incredibly talented illustrators have taken on the challenge of creating a "Pokemon Trainer Hatsune Miku," and each day will feature a brand-new rendering of one of the 18 Pokemon Hatsune Miku has selected as her partner. The overarching theme of these works is "If Hatsune Miku were a ____-type Pokemon Trainer, what would she look like?"

The participating illustrators will be made public by releasing their individual illustrations and related setting elements, heightening the suspense. This guarantees that viewers get a glimpse of the thoughts and creative processes of the people in charge of bringing this project to life. It's an opportunity to explore the relationship between Pokemon and Hatsune Miku from the perspectives of these talented creators.

The Grand Unveiling

On September 29, 2023, at 7 PM JST (6 AM EST), the project will launch with the release of the first song, starting a fascinating journey into the collaboration of these two cherished franchises. Over the next few months, each Vocaloid Producer will release a song and associated music video on their own YouTube channels. The unifying theme running through all of these works is "Pokemon feat. Hatsune Miku."

A unique aspect of this project lies in the clever use of background music and sound effects sampled from the Pokemon series of games. This infusion of Pokemon's iconic auditory elements into the world of Vocaloid music promises to be a treat for the ears and a nostalgic trip for fans of both franchises.

The identities of the participating Vocaloids are scheduled to be unveiled on September 28 at 7PM JST (6 AM EST), building up the excitement and anticipation among fans eager to see how these virtual singers will blend with the world of Pokemon.
