All Nippon Airways have announced one of their 747-400 passenger planes will be sporting custom Pokemon livery, featuring Pikachu and a number of other Pocket Monsters, in what qualifies as an exceedingly rare ita-jet.
The service is being run from Tokyo to Sapporo (Hokkaido) several times daily. Those wishing to take advantage of this have from the 20th of March to the 5th of April.

Both of them just make local flights. Due the density the use 747 for domestic flights lol
Thanks, added. Looks as though the design has been updated.
I wonder if this is paint or a vinyl wrap. It would be very difficult to get the paint perfect, but then again a vinyl wrap would be very heavy and expensive...
Crawl into pikachu's vagina children!
god itd be so awesome if he was postioned like that on the door lol
Those planes are for international fly too?
hazukashi... ~.~
Couldn't they at least include some badass pokemons?
i've seen a painted Panda plane but this is ridiculous.
holy shit ...
Hope they don't encounter any hijackers that are strong against flying types.
Theirs an ITA everything these days. I wonder if they could do a Ita Barrack Obama.
over this summer he will possibly take his children to some stupid event and there he will get his face painted like pikachu and i will kill you because all ill ever be able to think is that here is our first poke-covered-president
Mother fucking Pokemons on the mother fucking plane!
Haha, I saw this while in Japan: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/rebirthseph/Japan/DSCF0867.jpg
Hokkaido is full of wide open fields and forests just TEEMING with pokemon.
cars, motorcycles, bikes and now planes?!..what's next space shuttles?
so far ive managed to catch 484 on my plane trips ive played that so much in the sky i wouldnt want to get on a plane with those fuckers on it
HEHE, Alaska Airlines has ita-planes. A couple disney ones, a salmon, and a new design which isn't in the air just yet. all of the designs are on the 737-400's
I hope al qaeda doesn't know about it, taking control of those things would make a big statement.
Expect "her" to be on that plane.
"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" is a reality now.
"Pokemons! Pokemons! I'm not imagining it, he's out there! Don't look, he's not out there now. He jumps away whenever anyone might see him, except me." xD
pokemons on a plane
So will Team Rocket hijack that plane in search of rare Pokemon?
I'd feel like I should get a discount for flying in something with such tasteless decoration. Can we get one sponsored by Pizza Hut with CC on the side?
Hell yeah, that I would pay for.
Pizza Butt = am winar
id buy that fucking plane
They should have one with all 450+ pokemon on it.
Someone's bound to say it, so I'll just say it first...
So I hear you liek Mudkips...
Piplup Hitler! :3

You visit /b/ too much.
Tired old meme is tired and old.
i dont care if its old
still suitable to the situation
>still annoying as fuck and makes me seems like I'm just catching onto memes like the rest of the internet.
Yeah I'd have to agree with you there.
Says the guy using a tired and old meme.
That's not really a meme anyway, and it's definitely not tired.
[something]{something else} is [something].
...hmm...lets see here, aside from long cat is long...yeah looks like that fits into the tired old meme bracket just fine.
Haven't All Nippon Airways been decking out their planes with Pokemon for a while now? Or just not to this degree of zealousness?
They are advertising this particular paintjob as being a spring holiday special...
Heh, even planes are gentei now.
*shakes head*
"spring holiday special"
The Japanese will never cease to amaze me. Slap a Pikachu on something pedestrian and watch it sell like hotcakes.
but who wouldn't want to ride it?
Poketards..?
Is there really that much demand for air travel between Tokyo and Sapporo to require the use of several 747's a day?! That surprises me more than the Pokemon paint job...
wow... the never get tired of pocket monsters, don't they? or is it for the kids?
ooops sorry.. misplaced comment
It'd be really funny seeing that in the sky.
I.... I want to ride on that ._.
me,too D':
Wow I would love to see that coming at me while working in a skyscraper.
Damn, you beat me to it.
Salary man: "omg....Charizard!?!"
Terrorists: "Seismic Toss!"
lmafo
Fuck, I lol'd so hard when I thought of myself in that position. There would be that seizing terror of having a giant airliner flying into you, and then a brief moment of confusion, as your last thought would consist of, "...Pikachu?"
death by giant metal pikachu?
In spite of how awful that scenario would be, I lol'd.
So wrong but I lol'd.
damn it, me too.
so did I :/
I remember seeing a pichu airplane a few month ago at MARS(Malaysia Airlines) .... My eyes might be playing trick on me.
Later, they had to put it into repairs because of pokeball-sized dents in the fuselage
lol
New movie: Samuel L. Jackson in "Pokemons on a plane"
Dammit, ya beat me to it...even though I took a long time to read this article...lol
What exactly is so suprising about this? ANA has had Pokemon flights for years now, where do you think all the "ANA" OVAs and promo cards for the TCG come from?
I don't think the older designs were quite as...epileptic...looking as this one...
The think the design/style/coloring on the olders ones were a bit more tame...But I could be wrong.
But how about one in the Lillian's All Girls School colors with all the main cast holding Pizza Hut boxes? Oh maybe have Code Geass girls Cosplay the MariMite girls (or vice versa) with the Pizza Hut thing?
They need to diversify the Ita-plane market. Might get them damn NEETs and hikikomori out and about...? (If it can drive rice and curry sales...)
Good one XD
Aww, it's cute - if not a little over the top, perhaps. I like the bright colors.
I'm sort of curious to know how they go about painting them like that.
LOL "this is not a photoshop"
Yea, concerning that they're some people who believes all the images in the internet are shopped
Does it come with free epileptic seizures?
what a waste of paint
AGAIN ^^
i once saw one of them at the airport close by, they look impressive in full size^~^
