Maroon 5 brings Pokemon to life, dressing up as animated characters from the popular mobile game and getting chased by a bunch of crazed fans.

AceShowbiz - Maroon 5 has dropped a music video in support of their newly-released single "Don't Wanna Know". Directed by David Dobkin who helmed their "Sugar" music video, it shows Adam Levine and his bandmates channeling their inner anime in Pokemon costumes. They are running around the town with a bunch of mobile game junkies hot on their trails.
As if dodging crazed fans at every turn is not enough, Levine also has to deal with a broken heart. He is struggling to move on and pining for an ex played by Sarah Silverman, making him one miserable Pokemon. Ed Helms and Vince Vaughn also make cameos, but Kendrick Lamar who is featured in the song is noticeably absent in the music video.
The song might be recorded for Maroon 5's next studio installment. The band is currently taking a break from their tour as their frontman just welcomed his first child with wife Behati Prinsloo. However, they are expected to perform the song on TV for the first time on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on November 3.
