Pokémon have plastered their filthy paws over all forms of transport in the past, from aeroplanes to cars to coaches. This time they're hitting the rails, as a Pokémon themed train is set to arrive in the land of the rising sun this fall. 

The Pokémon train is being run by JR East from 22nd December and will be in service around the Tohuku area, how long the train will be in service for is still Unown.

The images seen here are believed to be real as they were originally found on the official Pokémon website.  

The train is set to be in service mainly during holiday periods which means children (and Pokémon masters) from Japan can enjoy a ride without the worries of work and school.

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world... She took the midnight train going anywhere.
