Maroon 5 Uses as Inspiration Pokemon GO

Viewers who watch the latest Maroon 5 music video, "Don't Wanna Know" will clearly see that it's a Pokemon Go parody. The costumes may have been intentionally altered presumably to avoid any legal entanglements from Nintendo or Niantic.

The music video started showing a Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine living, driving and drinking as a Bug type Pokemon based on his costume. It's quite funny with several celebrities making cameo rules including Ed Helms, Sarah Silverman and Vince Vaughn.

The music video seems to make fun of Pokemon GO players chasing Pokemon wherever and whenever they can find them. Levine is about to connect to the Pokemon of his dreams when the pesky player rudely interrupted their meeting.

Levine was so depressed that he was shown drinking whisky beside a swimming pool. Suddenly, a Pokemon GO player jump over the fence. This made Bug type Pokemon who proceeded to disintegrate the human player with a Solar Beam.
