Pokémon vehicles aren't that new of a thing. Odds are likely you've seen images of a Pikachu Beetle zipping about the Internet. However, Toyota has upped the ante at this year's Tokyo Toy Show by throwing out not only a Pikachu car, but one modeled after Fire-type starter Fennekin as well.
Both Pokécars are from Toyota's Toyopet model, which was first made from the late '40s to mid-'50s. The originals were based heavily off the look of Volkswagen's Beetle, but the line has returned with a more modern design. Still primed for plastering cuter species of Pokémon onto, though!
We've set up a gallery of photos here, but you can see more info at Japan Trends. Also thanks to the fine folks over at Tiny Cartridge who know that any time is the right time to evoke Billy Ocean.
What model of Pokécar would you want to cruise the routes with? Let us know below.

Wow
My choice of Pokécar would be a Fiat Pancham.
What's the horse power from them poke vehicles?
The Pikacar is kinda scary... but the Fennekar is adorable.
Those cars look adorable.I want to drive one now.
Step one: get driver's license. Step two: buy a Froakie car.
Wonder what level it has to get to until it evolves?
They look amazing. Definitely want one of those even though people here would think I was crazy.
The streets need more of those. Period.
I want that Fennecar!
Hmm. I'd rather have a Shinx Audi A4.
But how good is the Rapidashpower? hopes you get joke
Only in Japan.
Also when I read the subtitle, my reaction was "...God dammit, Nintendolife."
The wordplay on this site is unbearable sometimes.
Oh why can't my 16th birthday come SOONER!
I want one!! Nintendo better sell these on their online store in America when it opens, or I will be highly perturbed.
I'd love to drive an arcanine car...Let's call it a Carcanine.
How about a Sawstruck?
A Baltoyota?
A Vespaquen?
I wonder what their fuel consumption is rated at?
Those are so cool! Honestly I wouldn't wanna have one because people might try and steal a car that awesome. Would be nice to see them in person though at least once.
Mario Kart 8 DLC?
Come on, you were all thinking of it....
Scary!
@Naoiko Ain't nothing to worry about. They're the most theft-proof cars ever with their electrocute- and flame-protection.
@Nintendo_Ninja The Fennecar evolves when it has 15.000 km and for the Pikacar you have to drive into an electricity cabin.
@eviLaTtenDant Does that mean the fennecar loses speed in rain and the Pikacar doesn't drive as fast on ground terrain?
First time I see the charm in owning a big garage to fill with cars... Gotta drive them all ^O^
If I won the lottery, I'd buy one of these.
@Nik-Davies Hell yea!
Is there a built in flamethrower in the fennekin one?
I would love these, but I know that I could never own one without it being constantly vandalised or stolen altogether. =(
@sillygostly Yeah, I wish people weren't so objective and judgemental of other peoples choices .
In other means I would get a Luxray one!!
@Porky Don't you mean Rapidash Power?
@m0i If they ever build a Celebi car, I bet it will time travel when it hits 88 MPH.
I've seen the VW beetle that they had with the Pikachu tail and ears and such and it looks way cooler than the Toyota here.
@BakaKnight ahahah
