Summary
Uniqlo has a strong relationship with video games and gaming adjacent properties with the likes ofMonster HunterandThe Legend Of Zeldarepresented in some of its more popular collections. It’s also been working with The Pokemon Company for several years and on Monday morning,Pokemonrevealed some new t-shirt designs for adults, children, and even babies that will be arriving at Uniqlo this March.
Dubbedthe Pokemon Sketch collection, the adults and kids sections have three new designs each with a fourth Pikachu design, the headliner in the new range, available for both grown-up and kid Pokemon fans. The t-shirt has a sleeping Pikachu on the front with “Pikachu is recharging” printed underneath it.
The black t-shirt in the adult sizes coming to Uniqlo has Umbreon on the back, and another design features all three forms of Meowth - original recipe in the middle with its Galar and Alola forms flanking it. Rounding out the adult sizes portion of the range is a green t-shirt with Mimikyu on the front, the words “Its actual appearance is unknown” printed directly beneath it.
Mimikyu’s appearance remaining unknown isn’t entirely true. How it looks underneath its Pikachu disguisewas a part of 2024’s big Game Freak leak, although it’s unlikely what was revealed is really what’s going on under there.
Pokemon Is Expanding Its T-Shirt Collection At Uniqlo
11 New Designs Will Be Available Through Uniqlo Japan Starting In March
While the Umbreon, Mimikyu, and Meowth t-shirts won’t be available in kids' sizes, younger Pokemon fans will be getting three unique designs of their own. A light purple t-shirt with Gengar on the front and back, a blue design with Glaceon as the star, and the t-shirt I’m most jealous of not being available in my size featuring Ceruledge. There aren’t nearly enough officially licensed t-shirts with the armored Fire/Ghost-type on them.
While not a part of the same Pokemon Sketch collection, Uniqlo has also revealeda collection of t-shirts for Pokemon-loving babiestoo, or a range of designs for Pokemon parents hoping their babies grow up to love the series as much as they do. The baby t-shirt designs include Pikachu, Piplup, and one with the Paldean partner Pokemon’s faces printed all over it.
The baby and kids t-shirts will be 990 yen ($7) eachwhilethe adult sizes are 1,500 ($10) eachand will be released this March. The t-shirts appear to be exclusive to Uniqlo Japan for now, although other collaborations,like the Final Fantasy range, have eventually been released in the US. If the new Pokemon t-shirts are released outside of Japan, they will likely cost closer to $30 than $10.
