Maroon 5's Newest Music Video Satirizes Pokémon Go Phenomenon
Maroon 5's most recent music video for their hit Don't Wanna Know has a strange spin to it. The video stars lead singer Adam Levine and other celebrities such as Sarah Silverman and Vince Vaughn, dressed up in costumes that only mildly resemble Pokémon.
We see them running desperately away from swarms of people, who attempt to capture them with their phones – a nod to Pokémon Go. You can watch the video below.
Pokémon Go was a huge craze when it first released in July, and while that major popularity peak has waned, it remains to have a strong fanbase. For more, you can read about our impressions of the Pokémon Go Plus accessory that released last month, or check out the details of an upcoming update that will bring changes to capture rates and gyms. Recently, the Netherlands took Niantic to court over the issue of Pokémon Go fans crowding beaches in Kijkduin.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
