Chillarmy, Swanna, Giaru, and Shimama participating in a Musical

The Pokémon Musical (Japanese: ポケモンミュージカル Pokémon Musical) is a feature in the Generation V games Pokémon Black and White. Like Pokémon Contests, Pokémon Super Contests and the Pokéathlon from previous games, this feature provides Trainers with an alternative to battling.

Pokémon Musicals feature a modified version of the appeals round in the Super Contests of Generation IV. Just like in Super Contests, Trainers have to dress up their Pokémon in different accessories. 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.

The Pokémon Musical building

Pokémon Musicals are held in a large, brightly colored theater in Raimon City in the Unova region.

Dressing Up

The first part of the Pokémon Musical involves dressing up the Pokémon by putting accessories onto it. Accessories can be obtained and are placed in the Goods Case. If the costume fits the song, more points are awarded. What you wear is vital for the Musical, as you can wave these accessories around for appeal. You must dress correctly, and different accessories help with different categories. You can only do this once per item, though: so it's more of a strategy.

Dancing

When Pokémon are dressed, it is time to perform with the music. If the audience likes the Pokémon, they throw items which the player can keep. The player can download new pieces of music from the Global Link. The player cannot influence the musical itself, so the dressing up must be near perfect to impress the crowd.

Speculation

Many fans are speculating whether, since Pokémon Musicals have taken over from Pokémon Contests, if Musicals will be seen on the anime or if there will be no equivalents to battling on the anime. But it is said that Dawn will reappear later on in the series, so there may be a chance that Contests will still be see on the anime.
