I went to Pokemon Night Out in LA last night and here's some thoughts. I was an EDM producer and DJ for 12 years before YouTube, I've played on stages, clubs, podcast, radio shows, and over 1000 weddings in my career. And Obviously I'm a Pokemon Fan. Marshmellow’s set was perfectly fine. But it was just a very generic EDC/Ultra set and wasn’t pokemon-centric at all. There’s a lot of Pokemon-related EDM songs (like Pika Pika by Steve Aoki) and a lot of great bootlegs of tracks like Lavander Town. So it was sad to see NO song selection related to the theme. Anytime you see visuals synchronized (words on screen, etc) it is a clear sign it’s a prerecorded set, which is the industry standard for big performances. There was a LOT of people sitting or standing on the floor, never moving, the bars were all empty, not singing any lyrics and just taking video… BUT anytime a pokemon appeared on screen, the stadium cheered. It was the strangest thing. There were some FAT drops, but Gengar showing up during a melody break got a bigger reaction. It was just an interesting mashup of an event. It was a GREAT EDM show, but I feel like the theme drew a generally non-interested crowd.
