and fans may want to study up for a motorcycle license because Toyota's latest project is right up their alley. The ever-popular pocket monsters are some of the most beloved fictional creatures in the world, a fact that has proved especially useful to The Pokémon Company given how much merchandise it tends to sell. Sometimes though, the opportunity to create real-life versions of Pokémon goes a little beyond simply recreating them as adorable plush toys...
Per LordDremy on Reddit, Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota is working on a new motorcycle that resembles the Legendary Pokémon Miraidon from and .
The speedy beast is designed to look like a motorcycle and the Toyota Engineering Society Miraidon Project is looking to capitalize by creating something that evokes the image of the Pokemon. Based on the images, the Miraidon motorcycle sports all the design details fans might expect including stand-in jet engines on the back and LED lights that display the Pokémon's eyes when the machine starts up.
Toyota has yet to officially announce anything regarding the sale of the Miraidon Motorcycle and given the surroundings on display in LordDremy's images, the vehicle has likely been designed as a concept piece rather than a product that's meant to enter into widespread manufacturing. Further evidence that the motorcycle won't be up for sale any time soon is that the wheels have been flattened to sit on a horizontal plane, meaning this real-life Miraidon can't actually move around like its digital counterpart. What Toyota plans on doing with the motorcycle remains unknown but as a showpiece, it's certainly eye-catching.
While and shipped with six Legendary Pokémon for players to capture across both versions of the game, Miraidon and its counterpart Koraidon broke the franchise's mold by being one of the first pocket monsters players are able to obtain. Miraidon and Koraidon function both as a standard Pokémon and as a means of travel given that trainers can hop onto their backs and ride them around the open world. As the so-called «box Legendaries,» the two Pokémon became the mascots for and .
Many fans may have found enjoyment in using Miraidon and Koraidon to zoom around the world but and didn't fare well amongst critics and veterans of the franchise. While some changes, like the non-linear open-world, were embraced, both games ran poorly on the Nintendo Switch to such an extent that developer Game Freak was forced to issue an apology for the games' unfinished state. A year after they were released, the latest games run significantly better thanks to post-launch updates but many were still left disappointed.
