Since the late 1990s, All Nippon Airways has had five different Boeing 747 jets with Pokémon paint schemes. The majority of Pokémon featured on each plane seem to be from the generation that was the newest at the time of its introduction.
ANA Pokémon Jet 1998
During the winter of 1992, ANA held a contest to design one of its jets. The winner was a sixth-grade girl named Yuki Ogaki, who submitted a whale-themed design later titled the Marine Jumbo. Due to the public admiration of an uncommon paint job, ANA painted another Boeing 747 with a Snoopy design in 1996. Then, in 1998, this plane had another layer of paint added. This time, it was a Pokémon design. This design was also popular, and led to ANA creating several more planes with Pokémon designs.
ANA Pokémon Jet International
The ANA Pokémon Jet International debuted in 1999, carrying passengers from Tokyo to New York City. As its name suggests, its primary use continued to be international flights.
