TOKYO: Engineers of Toyota Motor Corp. have developed a mobility inspired by Miraidon, a character from the popular Pocket Monsters, or Pokemon, game series, in collaboration with Pokemon Co.

The mobility will be on display at the Tokyo Midtown Hibiya complex for three days starting Friday. Visitors will be allowed to ride it to feel as if they are in the Pokemon world.

Toyota Engineering Society, a group of Toyota employees, launched the Miraidon mobility project based on a survey of about 8,000 elementary school children.
