Don\u2019t tell airlines this, but I have reached a point where I no longer pay close attention to flight safety demonstrations and videos. They just tend to be repetitive and a bit dry, but that could change if I\u2019m lucky enough to fly through Japan. All Nippon Airways and The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/a>\u00a0launched a themed inflight safety video featuring Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0like Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and others on Thursday. Equal parts cute and informative \u2014 it\u2019s the perfect way to learn how to stay safe.<\/p>\n

The video is in Japanese and English, and has a sign language interpreter. It goes over your standard safety flight information like when to use your seatbelt, how to inflate a life vest, and what to do in the case of an emergency landing. It\u2019s pretty standard stuff, except that 3D animated Pok\u00e9mon demonstrate all the guidelines. A release from The Pok\u00e9mon Company said the goal of the video is to have an in-flight safety presentation that people of all ages \u201cwill want to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Personally, my favorite part is when the video is when a Farfetch’d<\/a> shows us how to load up the overhead baggage storage by putting a giant leek alongside regular luggage, but there are of plenty cute moments. Machoke \u2014 whose snatched waist somehow fits perfectly in an airline seat \u2014 buckles up when seated in case of turbulence. Greedent\u00a0drops a bundle of berries and obstructs an aisle with the mess. Also, the video confirms that Lucario is the kind of Pok\u00e9mon that travels with its seat fully reclined back.<\/p>\n

You can view the full video on ANA\u2019s Global YouTube channel<\/a>. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to catch a special flight to see it while traveling. It will be played aboard the “Pikachu Jet NH” and “Eevee Jet NH,” the release said. So it will just add another layer to an already glorious flying experience<\/a>. <\/p>\n
