All Nippon Airways, the Japanese airline headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has collaborated with The Pokémon Company to produce a new airline safety video starring some of your favourite Pocket Monsters.
As highlighted by VGC, the video will be shown on both the "Pikachu Jet NH" and the "Eevee Jet NH" aircraft starting from 15th August 2024, so uh... yesterday, at the time of writing.
In an accompanying press release, All Nippon Airways stated:
“With this collaboration, we aim to provide excitement to our customers and provide an in-flight safety video that can be enjoyed by people of all ages."
It's definitely a neat way to get more eyes on the screen when these kind of videos play at the start of a lengthy journey; goodness knows we've seen quite enough of them in our time, so it's nice to see something a bit different.
We particularly enjoy the section in which Jigglypuff looks like he's about to deck a gentlemen for vaping in the cabin. Absolute unit.
All Nippon Airways has collaborated with both Nintendo and The Pokémon Company on numerous occasions, with perhaps one of the more famous examples being the ANA Puzzle Swap panel that was made available via SpotPass on 3DS in 2012.

That's fantastic! Wish our airline had done that lol... intstead we got the steward who thought he was on Broadway! And I loved the Sign Language in the corner, since I am learning ASL.
Oh, sure, Pikachu gets to be in the video. Pichu gets to be in the video. Raichu gets jack.
Is there anything Pokémon haven't done at this point?!

Wasn’t that a collab with Nintendo? Not TPC?
@Markiemania95 Yep, absolutely right, my bad. Slight update added.
Pretty cool, will definitely watch both videos (there are actually two, one about disembarkation other than the safety one) when I have the time as they will also make for some good practice for my knowledge of Japanese!
Im practicing airline safety by never going on a plane again.
This is so adorable!
It looks cute, but I wish there is no monopoly behind the using of monster taming game franchises for advertising certain products.
The other monster taming franchise such as Yokai Watch or Monster Rancher, etc really deserved for recognition and beloved by public.
I actually wonder how this works since this is called a "collaboration". It seems much like a disguised Pokemon commercial. It does look cute and all though.
