Pokémon Scarlet & Violet had a fascinating idea to implement the two legendaries on their cover: Koraidon and Miraidon are two lizard-like creatures that can turn into motorcycles so the player can explore the huge open world. The Scarlet legendary has a more prehistoric design, while the Purple legendary has a more futuristic design. That’s why this franchise has just collaborated with Toyota to make an impressive motorcycle based on Miraidon.
The legendary Pokémon Miraidon is a motorcycle in the real world!
The project has been unveiled by Toyota in Tokyo, under the name “Toyota Engineering Society Miraidon Project”. As we can see in the images, the Legendary Pokémon that stars in the Purple Version was transformed into a real motorcycle, in an impressive recreation that is quite faithful to its in-game interpretation. For example, its circular dewlap serves the function of a wheel and its arms are not touching the ground, exactly like Miraidon’s model when the player uses it to ride through the Paldea region.
At the exhibition site we could also see photos of a sketch with a 3D model of Miraidon, which details how its internal parts would look like. And we can’t forget about his eyes, which seem to have LED lights, just like the ones that this charismatic legendary has in the game. It is more than evident that the engineers working at Toyota have a huge level of appreciation for Miraidon, as they managed to replicate even the smallest details of the legendary Pokémon in this motorcycle.
Although it is completely understandable that they have chosen Miraidon to carry out this project, due to its more futuristic design that fits better in our modern world, many fans hope that one day Toyota will also decide to create a motorcycle with a design of Koraidon, the legendary of Pokémon Scarlet, which is also extremely popular. Both legendaries have managed to win the hearts of all Scarlet & Purple players, so it would be excellent to be able to bring them both into the real world.
Unfortunately, there’s still not much more information about it, so we still don’t know if this Miraidon bike actually works (Although we can assume it does) or if it will even go on sale to the public. However, this ambitious project that was born out of the collaboration between Pokémon and Toyota already managed to make an impact on the public, and we can’t wait to find out more. It would be great if it is available for sale, as we would love to see groups of people riding their Moto-Miraidon around the cities of Japan.
