The one million-Pokémon Dollar bike that drove you crazy as a kid is back.

By the very nature of their gameplay, the Pokémon video games attract people with a compulsive collector mindset. If you’re enticed by a game that wants you to catch ‘em all, you’ll probably not only want to get your hands on every species of Pocket Monster you come across, but also to obtain every possible inventory item.

So for anyone who plays Pokémon Red and Blue, the first-gen Game Boy games that started the entire franchise, it feels like a slap in the face when you walk into the Bike Shop in Cerulean City and want to buy a bike, only to find out they cost an unbelievable one million Pokémon Dollars! Making the price-gouging even more painful is that the amount of money you’re allowed to have in the game maxes out at six digits, meaning you will never, ever have enough cash to buy the bike.

Remember in Pokemon how that bike shop owner tried to sell you a bike for $1,000,000 – what a troll

To this day it bothers me that you couldn't purchase the bike in the bike shop in the original Pokemon because it costs 1 dollar more than is possible to have.

With Red and Blue originally coming out in 1996, it’s been a bitter memory for fans for a quarter century, but now Pokemon’s impossible-to-buy-bike is coming to the real world!

▼ “Do you remember that bike that everyone wanted?” asks the teaser video.

In honor of the official Pokémon Information Bureau/Poké Times Twitter account reaching a million followers, the Pokémon Company took some numerical inspiration and created an actual bicycle modeled on the in-game graphics and official illustrations of the Pokémon Red and Blue one.
