Among the many beloved characters, Pikachu stands out as the most iconic, symbolizing the franchise’s global influence on pop culture.
Recognizing Pokémon’s widespread appeal, several airlines have embraced the opportunity to celebrate this cultural phenomenon by introducing Pokémon-themed aircraft.
