Pokémon 151
I used to love Pokémon. I owned Red, Blue and Yellow and completed them at least a few dozen times, to the point that I memorized the walkthrough. I tried out Diamond recently on my DS, but despite clearly being a superior game in terms of gameplay diversity and production values, it doesn’t seem quite as interesting any more. I guess it’s the whole growing up thing.
So anyway, Nintendo has created a new line of apparels called Pokémon 151 for people like me. They are targeted at adults who miss the time when there was only 151 Pokémons but don’t want to be caught dead wearing those brightly-coloured Pikachu T-shirts that Nintendo sells.
They have four designs up on the site now: Hypno (Sleeper), Cubone (Karakara), Articuno (Freezer) and Mewtwo. Take a look.

Wow niceeeee, too bad my pay is too measly for it and I don’t have time to wear it.
P.S I saw what is actually going on in your new banner. Naughty naughty!

Whoa the Cubone(Karakara) looks the best. But still i wont be buying. I wont spend almost $60 on just a t-shirt. Its against my principle.

These are nice but unfortunately I’m more into the 3rd/4th gen design pokes. Still I would proudly wear these if given as a gift, heheh.

I’d buy these in a heartbeat (they ain’t cheap though). Between this and King of Games, Nintendo is keeping their better apparel in Japan.
Screw you Nintendo.

Karakara/Cubone looks awesome, but why are even t-shirts so bloody expensive, dammit!

you are not an adult yet, DM.
*whistles at the implications*

Awesome shirt designs, but yeah they cost too much, and no shipping.
Played yellow & red. I think pokemon was still awesome at crystal, silver and gold.

If they make a shirt for Magikarp, I’d buy that. Magikarp, hit me up with a splash attack!
