A new collaboration between Pokemon and ANA Airways will see planes featuring Pombon, the Pokemon Winds and Waves Fire-type starter, along with other creatures. The Japanese airline is known for crossing over with Pokemon, and its next series of themed aircraft will commemorate the franchise’s 30th anniversary as well as the release of Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2027.
Earlier in February, Pokemon revealed its three Gen 10 starters: Grass-type Browt, Water-type Gecqua, and Fire-type Pombon. More details about the Pokemon Winds and Waves starters confirmed their initial abilities as well as some of their personality traits. However, few official artworks have been shared since the trio’s first reveal. Now, Pokemon has unveiled a new look at Pombon in an unexpected format.
Pokemon Theory Predicts New Eevee Evolution for Winds and Waves
A Target listing has some Pokemon fans theorizing that the upcoming Generation 10 games Winds and Waves will have a new Eevee evolution.
Pombon and Other Starter Pokemon Will Be Featured in ANA Airplanes
The Japanese airline ANA (All Nippon Airways) has announced that three new Pokemon Jets, named Red, Green, and Blue, will roll out in 2026, featuring all Pokemon starters from Gen 1 to 10 and Pikachu. The first Pokemon Jet Red aircraft will see Fire-type starters, including Pokemon Winds and Waves‘ Pombon. In this new artwork, the puppy Pokemon can be seen showing off both paws instead of one, giving a better look at the clever detail about Pombon’s paw pads in Pokemon Winds and Waves mimicking a Japanese kanji character. The collaboration commemorates both Pokemon‘s 30th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of ANA’s international flights.

The Pokemon Jet Red Boeing 787-8 will be available starting late July 2026 for domestic Japan flights only, same as the Water-type Pokemon Jet Blue Boeing 737-800, so not all fans will be able to enjoy the themed experience. However, the Grass-typed aircraft, Pokemon Jet Green, will be available for international flights. Neither the Green nor the Blue versions have a set launch date, though, and ANA Airways has not shared a look at the Water-type plane yet. Aside from their outer Pokemon look, the planes will also offer limited-edition themed cups, napkins, and headrest covers. This isn’t the first time that ANA has crossed over with Pokemon using themed planes. The airline has launched similar aircraft since 1998, and it even released a Pokemon plane safety video that went viral among fans.
While the Gen 10 starter trio has been generally well-received by the community, many players agree on one specific preference for the Fire-type puppy. Fans hope that Pokemon Winds and Waves will let Pombon stay on four feet, unlike several of its predecessors, which become bipedal in their final evolutions. Players will have to wait for the official reveal of Pombon’s evolution line to see if their wishes are heard.

Pokemon Winds and Waves has confirmed a release window for 2027, and recent leaks suggest that the game will launch in September. On the other hand, Pokemon Winds and Waves may not receive a new trailer until next year, as the game was not featured in the latest June 9 Nintendo Direct, and it may be a while before another official livestream is announced.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
