Nintendo purchased the cars to drive round the US to promote the release of the Pokémon games and the animated TV series.
A sound system that connected to a speaker on the exterior of the car would make the motor talk by playing Pikachu sounds.
The custom cars were kitted out with wooden ears and a tail to resemble the look of Pokemon’s most iconic character.
Located in the hatch of the car would be a TV screen hooked up to a Nintendo 64.

Fans of the games could use the consoles to park up and play their favourite Pokémon games.
This ‘Pikabug’ has now been listed up for sale in Madison, west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, as reported by What’s The Jam.
