Nintendo Announces Pokemon 151 - Pokemon Branding for Adults [not a new game]

[Wilhemina]

Looks like there's been activity~ Link

I love Hypno's toes. xD

 

[Ryo]

Server busy >_>

 

[Wilhemina]

Oof, well if you go to the link on the first page and click enter you'll get to big screenshots of each shirt, with links for the shirt's backs.

 

[Metal Gods]

Looks sweet I want to pick up a Hypno and Cubone one for sure, heck I might just buy them all I really like the Mewtwo.

 

[Tytus]

Wtf, I thought the Hypno shirt was kind of creepy when I saw the first shots, but now I see that he's leading two small children by their hands...

 

[Wilhemina]

I think it's fun to remember the spooky side of Hypno's play on the Sandman.

I wonder how/if they'll do the Uri Geller shirt. o.O

 

[Taste Test]

I'm really liking the Cubone, Hypno, and Articuno shirts. I'm probably going to buy those three (and pray they fit). I guess that means I'll have to come out of the Pokecloset too, thanks to "Pokemon 151" written on the back of some of the shirts.

 

[dekzeh]

Needs more Snorlax.

 

[Kristy Haruka]

I don't like how they stop at 151. It was the best generation... but it had the worst Pokemon (IMO). o_o;

 

[cloud]

i really like the articuno one, if it fits alright i'd actually like one :D

 

[Pneuma]

These are amazing.
Pretty expensive though.

 

[Lee]

I'm wondering why the Cubone shirt says Kodoku when his name is KaraKara. Could anyone schooled in Japanese help me out here?

EDIT; I googled it and it translates more or less to "isolation/loneliness." This shirt just gets better and better! :)

 

[Itachi90]

Man they all look so beast! Which one will i get? I want one with a metagross though...*sigh*

 

[joetino21]

Hoping they pull off decent Arcanine and Dragonite shirts. They'd be sick. Articuno's almost looks like a polo shirt since it's like an emblem. Definitely get that and Cubone.

Part of it would be cause the target audience would be people who began playing during that generation and have continued til now. For the most part anyone over the age of 18 would've begun with the original R/B/Y.

 

[Age of Kings]

Mewtwo merch, finally. Thank god. He has been grossly neglected.

I think I'm going ot like it a lot. xD

Cubone/Marrowak are described as lonely creatures in one (maybe more) ingame PokeDex entries... iirc

EDIT: Found something. "When it thinks of its dead mother, it cries. Its crying makes the skull it wears rattle hollowly." D/P PokeDex Description of Cubone - www.serebii.net

 

[yayece]

I guess this is somewhat related... I got an email saying that they started another product line recently too. Maybe this will be a trend.

[Chris_Hansen]

Anyone knows prices and stuff?

 

[Envy]

What the heck is this?

It confuses me... Cubone looks more scary. XD

Still pretty cool, though. If only I would have been wearing those shirts back when I was really into Pokemon. People wouldn't have been looking at me funny, than. =P

 

[darkie]

Anyone knows prices and stuff?

4530 yen is, according to google, 42.52 dollars USD. Pretty pricy, imo.

Man, that's too expensive. I will print those images on t-shirts by myself. Not that hard and much cheaper.

That's true! I really want a Rapidash shirt though I wonder what Machamp or Jynx will look like. XD;

 

[Venetian Masque]

I'm digging the rampant lion design of the Mewtwo shirt. I found it quite clever, personally. As for Hypno, like someone mentioned before, it is delightfully creepy.

I can only hope they extend it a little further to the GSC generation for us "oldies".

Bumping this back up to let everyone know that Nintendo added Kakuna to the list of available designs back on August 13th.

The English text reads "While awaiting evolution, it hides from predators under leaves and in nooks of branches" which is rather interestingly the Diamond and Pearl Pokedex entry for Kakuna.

According to random online translators, Sanagi translates to Chrysalis.
