A Twitter user named marmotmx has shared a fun collaboration of one of our favorite Pokémon characters: Slowpoke. Said work was presented in the Kagawa prefecture and was made with commemorative reasons for one of the most recognized anime series in the world: Pokémon. Released in 1997 and created by Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori, has formed one of the most successful franchises internationally. Hence, from different parts of the world and multiple artists decide to pay tribute to him in many ways and this collaboration is one of them.
This is a collection of buses with Slowpoke colors for the Kagawa prefecture airport, in addition to some creative costumes that welcome the public along with the transport. On the other hand, there are also figures alluding to the character and their respective pokeball in various rooms (starting with the waiting room), as well as some nice large stuffed animals that adorn other spaces. In this regard, all the decoration on Slowpoke is perfectly combined for the occasion.
But this is not all, a commercial video was also made to advertise this creative tribute. You can see it in the following link. With a fun song in the background, we find Slowpoke in many rather picturesque settings, including some belonging to Kagawa Airport.
A bit about Slowpoke
This character was introduced in the first generation of Pokémon. Of type water, its name, “slow” (for its etymology in English) means slow, which could refer to the fact that it could be clumsy; although in Japanese it could be related to “Yawn”, which means “yawn” and that could suggest that in Pokémon Slowpoke it has the gift of summoning rain with a yawn.
In fact, Slowpoke is very lazy and tends to rest a lot during the day. To fish, it dips its tail in the water of rivers and lakes to attract its prey and thus hunt them when they bite its tail. It has slow movements and takes 5 seconds to feel the pain caused by any attack. His memory is very fragile, so he might occasionally forget some skill.
All this has made him one of the cutest characters loved since the beginning of the series, therefore we have loved the tribute they paid him in Kagawa prefecture.
