Pokémon Planes Are Flying Over Japan

Pokémon-themed airplanes are appearing in the skies over Japan.

Solaseed Airlines, based on the Japanese island of Kyushu, debuted a Pokémon-painted plane on December 19.

According to CNN, the new themed craft made its maiden flight from Miyazaki City to Tokyo's Haneda airport.

The plane is part of a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and various regions of Japan.

There are currently eight prefectures involved in the collaboration between POkemon and the tourism board.

Each prefecture is assigned a dedicated Pokémon character of its own.
