The Pokémon Company and Honda have teamed up to create a concept motorbike inspired by Koraidon, the star of Pokémon Scarlet.
This bike is a mini version of Koraidon, reflecting its ability to transform into a motorbike in the games. It will be showcased at Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo from March 7 to March 9.
This isn’t the first collaboration between the two brands. Last year, Toyota unveiled a similar motorbike inspired by Miraidon, the mascot of Pokémon Violet.
While these bikes aren’t functional, they aim to capture the “size and weight” of the Pokémon they represent.
After the display, it’s unclear what will happen to the bikes. They might find a new home at one of the many Pokémon Center stores in Japan, where large Pokémon statues are common.
Koraidon and Miraidon play a unique role in their games. Players meet them early on, and they serve as vehicles, helping players travel as bikes, boats, and even climb steep terrains.
This exhibition is part of a month-long celebration for Pokémon Day, which commemorated its 29th anniversary on February 27. The Pokémon Company also held a special Pokémon Presents event during this time.
New episodes of Pokémon Concierge were announced, along with a brand new game called Pokémon Champions. Exciting news also came about this year’s title, Pokémon Legends, Z-A, set for release on Nintendo Switch later this year, although a specific date hasn’t been revealed yet.
