The '''Pokémon Musical''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミュージカル''' ''Pokémon Musical'') is a feature in the [[Generation V]] {{pkmn|games}} {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, and the [[Pokéathlon]] from previous games, this feature provides {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with an alternative to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}.

Pokémon Musicals feature a modified version of the [[Visual Competition]] in the Super Contests of [[Generation IV]]. Just like in Super Contests, contestants have to dress up their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in different [[Prop]]s. In the competition round, Pokémon compete by dancing on the theater stage with the other entrants. Similar to Pokémon Contests and the Pokéathlon, there are four Trainers allowed to participate at once.

There are four categories of Pokémon Musical shows: Cool (Japanese: クール ''Cool''), Cute (Japanese: キュート ''Cute''), Elegant (Japanese: エレガント ''Elegant''), and Quirky (Japanese: ユニーク ''Unique''). Each category has its own target audience.
There are four categories of Musical shows. Also, each show has its own target audience. The player starts with four Musical shows: Stardom, Forest Stroll, A Sweet Soirée, and Exciting Nimbasa. Additional Musical shows can be obtained by participating in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] promotions. Much like C-Gear and Pokédex skins, only one additional Musical show can be stored in a Black or White game.

The first part of the Pokémon Musical involves dressing up the Pokémon by putting Props onto it. Props can be obtained from loitering audience members after performances, and are placed in the {{key|V|Prop Case}}. Each Prop has a trait, as does each Musical number, and the Prop costume must appease the target audience as well as garner attention.

When in the Dress Up room, the order of the items can be auto-changed when the participating Pokémon is tapped directly. This immediately brings to the forefront Props of a certain body type at random, explaining which type on the upper screen of the Nintendo DS. Also at random, the Props will reset to the default order.

This immediately brings to the forefront Props of the body type that has been tapped, explaining which type on the upper screen of the Nintendo DS. Tapping the same body part again will reset the propes to the default order.


Not all Pokémon have all of the body points, so some Pokémon cannot be dressed up in certain Props.

The player cannot influence the Musical itself beyond when to use held Props, so the dressing up and timing must be near perfect to impress the crowd. When Pokémon are dressed, it is time to perform with the music. At any time, a held Prop may be used to get the audience's attention, indicated by a spotlight. However, if a Pokémon uses a Prop, they risk being overshadowed by another dancer using their own. The spotlight switches to the last Pokémon who uses a Prop, meaning that is whom the audience will respond more to.
After the player finishes dressing their Pokémon, it is time to perform with music.

The spotlight switches to the last Pokémon who uses a Prop, meaning that is whom the audience will respond more to.


During each performance is one time when the Pokémon is given a short solo that showcases them specifically. This spotlight can also be stolen by a competitor, or even prolonged if using a Prop right before a Pokémon's solo ends, effectively stealing it from the next dancer on the right. The last chance for spotlight focus is right before the song ends.

Two times during the performance, the audience will applaud: to the Pokémon who does not have the spotlight stolen from them and right before the curtain falls. The applause ranges from unenthusiastic to excited, giving a gauge to the reception of the competitor or overall performance. The better the applause, the more they like the Pokémon standing out.
The audience will applaud twice during the performance: to the Pokémon who does not have the spotlight stolen from them, and right before the curtain falls. The applause ranges from unenthusiastic to excited, giving a gauge to the reception of the competitor or overall performance. The better the applause, the more they like the Pokémon standing out.


If the audience likes the player's Pokémon, they will be in the lobby afterward, waiting to give new Props to the player as gifts. Additional Musical <!--yes, capital M-->shows can be downloaded from the [[Global Link]].

In the middle of a meeting for an idea for a new public entertainment facility to increase visitors to [[Nimbasa City]], {{adv|White}} accidentally came up with the idea for the Pokémon Musical, as a way for entertain people as well as to advertise the [[BW Agency]].

The project began with the theater and started as soon as White and Black arrived in the city. White then proposed every idea of the Musical, the case of Props along with the style of each, the four main songs, and the photo taken at the end of it.

On the day of its release, it featured the participation of [[Elesa]] explaining the rules of the Musical, quickly earning the approval of the public. However due to complications with the Driftveil Drawbridge, the 200 Prop Cases couldn't be delivered to the public at the end of the performance. White then enlisted the help of [[Skyla]], who successfully delivered them on time and the business proved successful.
