A suspicious choice for a song on the official soundtrack for the 2024 Pokémon World Championships has fans wondering if the location of the 2025 tournament was accidentally leaked.
Pokémon fans think World Championship soundtrack leaked 2025 location
The soundtrack features 10 songs that will be played during the event, most of which are Hawaiian-inspired tracks, but it's the last song in the playlist that stands out. "Saddled Up" is the official theme song for the 2018 World Championships in Nashville, Tennessee, leading Trainers to believe that The Pokémon Company may have inadvertently leaked that the Pokémon World Championships will return there next year.
I don't know if I'm crazy but did Pokemon just leak the location of Worlds 2025? 👀Pokemon uploaded their 2024 World Championship album to Spotify today featuring a bunch of tracks for Worlds, the latest being a song called "Saddle Up" which is all about playing Pokemon in Nashville 👀 pic.twitter.com/uTg1nw0DF6
The song choice doesn't confirm a major decision, and The Pokémon Company has not confirmed the rumor's validity, but if Worlds does return to Nashville next year, adding "Saddle Up" to the public soundtrack so early would be a colossal mistake on The Pokémon Company's part. It's also possible that the song was added intentionally to drum up interest for this year's event.
