Take a ride on Koraidon (Honda)The Pokmon Company has revealed a bizarre collaboration with Honda, featuring the legendary star of Pokmon Scarlet.Pokmon is one of the highest-grossing media franchises in the world, so naturally it has spawned a mountain of weird collaborations over the years.Whether its clothing team-ups with Levi, the upcoming collaboration with Wallace and Gromits Aardman Animation, or that Pikachu-themed song by Katy Perry, Pokmon is a prime source of cross-media oddities, as it cements its transmedia dominance.However, a company collaboration we didnt have on our bingo cards was Honda. After the Japanese car company teased a Pokmon motorbike last week, it has now revealed a life-sized bike based on Pokmon Scarlet cover star Koraidon.The bike is sadly just a concept, but it is on display at the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo, from today until Sunday, March 9.As such, images of the bike have emerged online and it looks really impressive. The model is described as an almost life-size reproduction of Koraidon in both weight and size. Its on display in Japan (Honda)While the model on display is stationary, it uses proprietary self-balancing technology to enable Honda Koraidon to walk on all four legs. The model Koraidon also has changing legs, neck, and facial movements which can be adjusted, along with its sprint speed, according to a description on the Honda website.More TrendingIn the game, Koraidon is a legendary pokmon which you can ride just like a motorbike and its surprising just how much Hondas design looks like it. As usual for Pokmon, Scarlet and Violet are almost identical but the equivalent of Koraidon in Violet is the creature Miraidon, who works in a similar way.Miraidon has already been turned into a motorbike, but one created by Toyota rather than Honda. It was shown off in a similar manner last year, but its unclear if either bike will ever be shown anywhere outside of Japan at this point it seems unlikely though.As for the future of Pokmon, beyond motorbike replicas, the next major game is set to be Pokmon Legends Z-A later this year. A new game, titled Pokmon Champions, was also recently announced during the latest Pokmon Presents. Miraidon was brought to life via Toyota (Toyota/The Pokemon Company)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
