Land transportation in the Pokémon world: Difference between revisions

In the {{pkmn|games}}, {{wp|automobile|cars}} can be seen in many places, both while parked and being driven. While the {{player}} walks the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], busy traffic can be seen underneath. {{g|Sun and Moon}}'s opening trailer, contained concept art of multiple vehicles, many of which can still be seen in-game while parked. While not seen in-game, [[Professor Kukui]] is shown to own a red convertible with a flower print on it in promotional material and in the anime.

In [[HZ001]], [[Liko]] rode on a bus from {{rt|22|Kanto}} to [[Indigo Academy]]. The bus had a {{p|Machop}} assisting passengers with luggage.

Some other trains that have appeared in the {{pkmn|games}}. [[Outskirt Stand]] in [[Orre]] appears to be made from an old steam locomotive. There is also an [[The Under Subway|underground railway]] in [[Orre]]. According to a book in the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Library]], trains were used for transportation in the [[Unova]] region before airplanes, and thus there are old, disused train tracks in [[Nacrene City]]. Single Trains from the Battle Subway can also be seen passing below [[Tubeline Bridge]].

Several other trains have also appeared in the anime. A freight train appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]]. The [[Pichu Brothers]] enjoy going for rides on it. {{DL|PokéPark (theme park)|The Pichu Brothers' Rascal Railway}} at {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} is likely based on this train. [[LaRousse City]] has a monorail that circles the city, providing access to the central island. [[South City]] is also located along this train line. [[Fuchsia City]]'s train station was revealed to be at the end of the line in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. It was initially in disuse, but in the alternate present created by {{an|May}}, in which {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}} is alive, trains now run to Fuchsia City. The various areas of the {{ci|Pastoria}} [[Great Marsh]] are accessed by rail. Another train appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', which travels through some mountains to {{si|Gracidea|a field full of Gracideas}}. A train powered solely by [[Ampharos Train crew|an Ampharos]] runs between [[Snowpoint City]] and [[Lake Acuity]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was featured in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. In ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', Ash and his friends take a train to [[Roshan City]], which also passed through [[Windy Station]]. Roshan City also includes a large network of abandoned, dilapidated subways, and {{an|Cilan}} later drove one such train to [[Full Court]]. After arriving in [[Vermilion City]] in ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} boarded a train from the local station before swapping at [[Saffron City]] to board the [[Magnet Train]] directly into the [[Johto]] [[region]]. In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Ash planned to catch a train from the Vermilion City station to his hometown of [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} first encountered {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'' who lived in an abandoned train. In ''[[JN022|Goodbye, Friend!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] rode on a train to reach [[Littleroot Town]]. The station stop is along a trainline that goes north in one direction and follows the ocean westwards in another.

Other unique forms of land transport have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].
