This Toyota bike joins official Pokémon skateboards, a custom electric Mini Cooper, and Pikachu-themed commercial airlines.There’s also official Katy Perry tracks, Tamagotchis, and a high-end Tiffany & Co jewellery line with a $29,000 Pikachu pendant made of 18-karat yellow gold with diamond accents.Image Credit: WakuWaku WorldRyan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
