Inside Japan’s Pokemon-Themed Train
While in Japan for the Pokemon Go Safari Zone event in Yokosuka this week, we had the chance to check out Tokyo's limited edition Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee-themed trains.
Certain cars on Japan’s Ginza line and Marunouchi line have been decked out in Pokemon style since August 19 and will remain that way until August 30. The car we rode was on the Ginza line, which stretches from Shibuya to Asakusa.
Check out a dozen photos of the Pikachu and Eevee-themed train in the gallery below:
The train itself bears no special markings on the outside, but inside it’s fully taken over by Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, with imagery from the game across the walls, doors, and seats.

The Purge: The 11 Scariest Purgers
With four hit movies in the can and a TV series on the way, it's clear that The Purge was the right franchise for the right time.
Tapping into just about every anxiety and anguish we have as everyday Americans, The Purge quickly shifted from home invasion horror to a nightmarish politically-relevant thriller about an alternate reality where the marginalized and disenfranchised are targeted during an annual "holiday" where all crime is legal - including the sadistic systematic elimination of the poor.
But Purge night isn't only for government soldiers out for a grotesque genocidal spree. It's a special event where everyone is encouraged to feed the dormant beast that resides within and cause chaos for twelve hours straight. Purge participants come in all shapes and sizes, and all shades of crazy. If you're murderously missing a few marbles, it's the perfect opportunity to get yourself all gussied up and masked for a bacchanalian bloodbath.

Why Pokemon’s First Live-action Movie Features Detective Pikachu Instead of Ash Ketchum
In 2016 when news broke that Pokemon’s first-ever live-action movie would be the story of Detective Pikachu, it threw the Pokemon fandom for a loop. After all, kid trainer Ash Ketchum has been the face of the long-running Pokemon animated series for over two decades now, not to mention he’s already the star of numerous animated features. Detective Pikachu, on the other hand, was from a franchise spin-off game that tasked players with solving mysteries with a talking Pikachu (sans Ash) rather than quest to defeat gym leaders in battle. So why go with this new property instead of the old standby? At this weekend’s 2018 Pokemon World Championships in Nashville, TN, IGN was on the case.
