Summary

Honda has revealed Project Koraidon, an official team-up with Pokemon that turns Koraidon into a robotic motorbike.
The project has working legs, can stand on two wheels, and even changes its facial expression.
The project follows in the tracks of Toyota's Miraidon motorcycle that was revealed last year.

Almost a year to the day after 168✃澳洲幸运5开奖网:Toyota showed o🎃ff its Miraidon motorcycle, 🐼Honda has revealed it has finally given Koriadon the same treatment.💟 Dubbed Project Koraidon, the almost life-size, motorbike version of the Legendary Pokemon will be on show at Honda's Welcome Plaza Aoyama from March 7, 2025, although unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be something we'll be able to buy.

No, the impression Honda gives when breaking down what exactly Project Koraidon is and how it came about implies the incredibly detailed Pokemon bike is a one-of🍌-a-kind product. The breakdown even includes a reference to Toyota's very similar Miraidon motorbike, tweaking the "Adults’ Devotion Make Children’s Dreams 🐼Come True" mantra Toyota used for Miraidon to "Honda’s Devotion Make Children’s Dreams Come True" for Koraidon.

Since Project Koraidon is probably a little bigger than a regular motorbike due to the fact it has legs, I'm not sure children are going to be able to ride it. In fact, I'm not sure it's designed to be ridden at all. The selling point of Honda's Koraidon is that it brings the Pokemon to life. That 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Scarlet & Violet's cover stars are effectively sentient motorcycles is likely why T𒆙oyota and Honda teamed up with The Pokemon Company for the projects.

Before you say it, yes, I know that in Pokemon Scarlet, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Koraidon is not a bike, and so does Honda. Unlike Miraidon which rolls around on its wheels, Koraiꦿdon sticks to using its legs. Don't ask me why, I'm assuming it's Pokemon logic tied to it being a Pokemon from the past. Maybe so far in the past tha🐟t the wheel hadn't been invented yet.

Anyway, yes, Honda's Project Koraidon is very accurate. So accurate that, just like the Pokemon it's based on, it also has four legs. They're not just for show either. The real-life Koraidon can walk on its legs and will also be able to stand on its two wheels, something Honda acknowledges isn't possible in Pokemon Scarlet. It achieves that by using th♔e same b❀alance technology Honda uses in its ASIMO robots.

Project Koraidon can also move its head and neck and will even change its facial expression depending on its mode, making it appear as lifelike as possible. We might not be nearing a future where we're all whizzing around on Koraidon and Miraidon bikes like this is some sort of real-life Paldea, but the reveal of something as close to a real Korai🎐don as possible is quite the way to celebrate Pokemon Day.
