Professor Willow, along with the team leaders, decided a concert would be a fitting way to commemorate Pokemon GO's fifth annual GO Fest, but they're leaving the details up to you! You'll get to set the tone of the show and even handpick the band, but it all starts with one essential question: Will you choose Pop Star or Rock Star Pikachu to headline the big performance?
This decision will influence the other aspects of the production, from the music to costuming, so you'll want to choose wisely. Below you'll find the primary differences in the Pop Star and Rock Star experiences to help you make your decision.

Pop Star Pikachu Vs. Rock Star Pikachu
As you can see, these pokemon starlets sport juxtaposed aesthetic differences, setting the stage for two very different shows right from the start. So for the first step in making your decision, does the pink powder puff ensemble exuding sugar, spice, and everything nice tickle your fancy? Or will you opt for the Rock 'N' Roll throwback to 80's hair bands?
Pink ribbons and too much hair spray aside, it takes a lot more than a killer outfit to make or break a performance. The major influence these Pikachu performers have is determining the musical overtone for the event. Naturally, the beats will match the Pikachu's aesthetics, but this is a particularly special occasion because the Pokemon franchise's music producer, Junichi Masuda, took the time to compose some new tracks specifically for GO Fest 2021. While Masuda has written several new songs for the event, Two of those tracks are exclusive to each type of Pikachu star, respectively. So the big question is, would you rather dance along to high-energy electric beats or rock out to a powerhouse riff while engaging in the event's many festivities?
After you've settled on your Pikachu headliner and completed the ticket-exclusive Special Research story, you'll get to hand-select the rest of the band as well! And it's not just Pikachu who's getting the star treatment; each pokemon vying for a spot in the band will be dressed to the nines in event-exclusive costumes in hopes of becoming Pikachu's next bandmate.
