Walking around Tokyo, we’re constantly bombarded with billboards and advertisements wherever we go, so it’s rare for an ad to actually catch our eye. If you’ve travelled on the JR Yamanote line recently, you might have come across a very clever and cute ad campaign for Pokémon.

びっくりしたので改めて、ポケモンフィットホウエン地方メインなんだと思いますが、山手線にいました。

外に何かラッピングがされているわけではありませんでした
うちがいたのがこのメンバーなだけで、他の車両は広告の色違ってたので、他のメンバーもいるかと
真ん中モニターもポケモンでした pic.twitter.com/73nNe1zu8h
You can check out the entire Pokémon Fit collection and purchased all your favourites online here. For even more Pokémon, stop by the Pokémon Center at Shibuya Parco. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the original Pokémon games’ release in Japan, so expect to see even more pocket monsters popping up around the city.
