And not just a Pokémon x-ray machine, but a mobile Pokémon x-ray machine.

In Japan, Pokémon is branded for products that range from instant noodles to sickness masks. This Pokémon x-ray machine from Shimadzu Corporation is directed not just at kids in the hospital, but kids in the hospital that are bed-ridden and unable to get their x-rays taken.

If the Pokémon characters don't brighten up someone's day, hopefully those amazing Poké Ball wheels will!

Don't expect this rolled out at every hospital. According to Shimaduz, there are plans to make only thirty of these Pokémon themed x-ray machines for all of Japan.

i want it.

Pokemon > Mario + GTA + Sims confirmed.

Pokemon has it become the biggest franchise ever at this point?

Whats the point of having a kid friendly x-ray machine? Most of the time you don't even see the machine.

Maybe you do....i have not had an X-ray in a long time.

Diseases - "Gotta find them all"

I have seen everything now...

That´s a lot better than the old X-Ray machines.
