From a plane to a car, then to finally rides based on Pokemon what much more could be done? One of the cars is a Pikachu beetle which would have seen by a few before by the other car is a Lugia Chrysler PT Cruiser. The beetle is easily able to guessed that its a Pikachu but as for the Lugia Chrysler, not as easy. The rides are from the poke park and look well interesting to be honest.

Like any worldwide phenomenon, the Pokemon franchise has its fair share of products that are completely unrelated to its core. As proud owners of Plusle and Minun salt-and-pepper shakers, as well as a Pokemon ramen bowl, we've bought into Pokemon consumerism, quite literally. In addition to everyday knickknacks, there are a slew of Pokemon devices that we'll never get the chance to own. This week's Pokemusings looks at some of these Pokemon dream machines.



First on our list are All Nippon Airway's (ANA) Pokemon-branded airplanes. The 747-400 is currently the best way to fly internationally (upper deck rules!). Having Pokemon painted on its body makes the plane 539-percent cooler. There are actually a few versions of ANA's special-edition aircraft. Some of the Pokemon that appear on it include Pikachu, Mew, Clefairy, Togepi, Wynaut, and Bellossom. These planes also feature Pokemon headrest covers, cups, and flight attendant aprons.

If we had unlimited resources, we'd buy one of these Poke-planes in a heartbeat. Naturally, they'd have to be customized for personal use. The back of the plane would be called Pichu's Paradise - a fancy moniker for an area we'd make all kids under the age of 10 hang out. It would have plenty of toys and entertainment so that children wouldn't cry the whole flight. The front of the plane would be Snorlax' Lounge, where non-weepers would rest comfortably. The upper deck would be dubbed Brock's Pimp Lair, where we'd have an open bar, disco lights, and a private bedroom with a circular bed. Of course, we'd still make the plane's staff wear the Pokemon-branded aprons.

    Haha, those Beetles look awesome. Especially with that little line on the cars that's meant to be the mouth. But after seeing those real life images of Pikachu, I'll never see that little thing the same way again.

    Hasn't that plane and the beetles been around for years now? I swear I heard about both of them back when red/blue first came out...

      That's impossible, the plane has third generation Pokemon on it. It must've been around the Ruby and Sapphire era.

    I wish there was a groudon Hummer H2!

    If I actually owned a groudon Hummer H2, then it would be great cuase I can scare the neighbor kids. Plus the horn would be groudons Cry.

    But little kiddies see promotional people dressed like Ash Ketchum driving them and immediately ask mommy and daddy to buy them the new Pokemon game.
