Riding in a cable car often symbolises the start of a new adventure, and here in Singapore, that most likely entails visiting Sentosa island.
As part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations, the entire Singapore Cable Car fleet will feature adorable Pokémon designs.
Decals on the exterior of the cabins, especially, allow passengers to seemingly travel in Poké Ball capsules hundreds of metres in the air.

Visitors will also find one of five Pokémon designs when they enter the cable car cabins, such as Pikachu and Eevee from the First Generation as well as the starters from the latest Scarlet and Violet video game series.
From 1 May to 30 Sep, the entire fleet of Singapore Cable Car cabins will feature special Pokémon decals.
The collaboration is part of Singapore Cable Car’s 50th anniversary celebrations that will span about a year.
The cabins look like Poké Balls from the outside, thanks to the red-and-white decals wrapped around each cable car.
From afar, the cabins look like floating Poké Balls travelling between Mount Faber Peak and Sentosa. One could even imagine passengers inside as characters embarking on Pokémon adventures.
The interior of the cable cars is arguably more eye-catching, featuring one of five Pokémon designs.
Each design is themed after a certain Pokémon, including classic ones like Pikachu and Eevee from the First Generation.
Visitors can also journey with one of the three Pokémon starters from the latest Scarlet and Violet video games — Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.
Regardless of which design they get, visitors can still enjoy unobstructed views of our southern coast with their favourite Pokémon keeping them company.

In addition to the specially designed cabins, 12 Pokémon standees at the Mount Faber arrival area give visitors a chance to snap a picture or two to commemorate their visit.
Sentimental visitors can also catch a glimpse of vintage cable car cabins sporting adorable Pokémon decorations.
Over at the Mount Faber Peak Gift Shop, fans can get their hands on Pokémon merchandise to add to their collections.
Tickets for the Singapore Cable Car are available for purchase over the counter or online via Mount Faber Leisure Group’s website.
Round-trip tickets cost S$35 and S$25 for adults and children respectively. Children aged three or below get to ride for free.

Just like in video games, having Pokémon companions by our sides on our adventures is a comforting experience.
Hopefully, fans who take the cable car rides will feel that way too.
If you plan on bringing your kids to Sentosa over soon, here’s an activity they might enjoy.
