This isn’t the first time Bella Poarch has used anime to promote her music. Just a few days earlier, the star went viral with an epic Hinata Hyuga cosplay from the classic Japanese series Naruto.

Speaking of Pokemon, the franchise celebrated its 25th anniversary this year by teaming up with artists such as Post Malone and Katy Perry. Perhaps the 24-year-old TikTok sensation will be the next singer to collaborate with the Nintendo property.
