How To Get a Monster on the Bus is an upcoming compilation/tribute album from Neon and the Argie Bees, comprised of covers for opening and closing themes from Nintendo's Pokémon the Series anime franchise (Co-developed by GAME FREAK, Creatures Inc., The Pokémon Company International and OPM, Inc.). The album has entered pre-production in 2025, though the idea was floating around since at least 2016. Production is expected to begin ten years on from this earlier conception date, in 2026.

A supplemental EP featuring more Pokémon-related songs, titled How To Get a Monster on the Train, is due for a separate release after the release of the main album. Of additional note, the brand name "Pokémon" is not mentioned in any of the cover songs included on the main album (being replaced with an instrumental fill), and only appears in a skit at the end of the main album, for "legal reasons". It does, however, appear on the cover songs featured on the EP, as most wouldn't make sense without it.
