'Pokémon 151' brand to cater to adults: Official Web site to open Thursday

[Lil Brother]

All those shirts look gender-neutral to me. But then I'm not the most feminine of girls.

Also, that link tells me the page can't be displayed. Do I have to have a Japanese ISP for that?

No, you just need the www at the beginning.

 

[Exxthus]

Why, oh why, does that Hypno have a human leg? It would have been less 'creepy' if it hadn't. XD If I see a shirt of theirs that I really like, I may just get it. And I hate clothes shopping.

 

[Gohansan]

They go up to XL on the site, I doubt it'd be any different through any other outlet - import or not.

Also, £20 for a t-shirt's fairly steep, but only about £5 over what I'd expect to pay for a brand name on a casual basis, and £5 for those designs seems worth it to me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out.

true true, but with prices skyrocketing (idiot brown >_>) £20 seems just about right. especially considering these look to be more designer that most branded names, a steep price is to be expected.

Also-

And I couldn't get them in my size anyway since Japan doesn't seem to think fat people exist?

don't worry, they go up to XL. if that isn't large enough, I suggest weight watchers

No, you actually don't need to.

i love the shirts i just wish they didn't have pokemon 151 on the shirt

In Japan, they have the English names because English letters are in style in Japan. How about if they put the Japanese names in America, because Japanese characters are in style over here? I'm sure ポケモンひゃくごじゅういち (Pokémon One Hundred Fifty-one in Japanese) would not raise many eyebrows.

 

[Lil Brother]

No, you actually don't need to.

That's the case with my computer and IE, anyway. I usually don't need the www, but it appears to be neccesary for this one, for Arceus know what reason.

 

[VibuzeSG]

I'm going to sound like a complete n00b here, but if Cubone's Japanese name is "Karakara," why does the Cubone shirt read "KODOKU?"

I'm probably missing something obvious...

 

[Crankyman]

Nope. Kodoku means "solitude".

Well I dunno. As far as I know that's a thing of web server configuration or so and not of a browser.
It is indeed necessary for www.pokemon.co.jp but pokemon151.jp works fine for me.

I thought the title was talking about porn...

Official Nintendo Pokemon porn? We'd never get that lucky (or unlucky, if it was only for the furry crowd).

On topic, I love the Cubone shirt. Pity I don't have the spare cash.

 

[Argy]

Leaving out the www in the URL still works for me, but there are other sites I have been to that need that in front to work (for example, my school newspaper's website of which I am the admin).

 

[Virtual-Z]

The shirts are on eBay now for about 70 bucks a pop.

 

[ajnrules]

Hmm. I'd expect the Articuno design to take up more space, but oh well.

 

[Super Smasher]

Oh, snap. Just thought of something.

If the Hypno design is that creepy, I wonder what the Tangela one will look like...

*shudders*

 

[Amewsment]

If the Hypno design is that creepy, I wonder what the Tangela one will look like...

Oh snap tentacle monster rape >.<
Looked at the site just now, but still only like the hypno design and strongly dislike all the others. Thanks for the hint about ebay, I think I will check it out as soon as possible.

 

[pikachu_8460]

I would have bought them all if I could, shame they need to be imported.

Yeah, I just checked for this the other day. I was thrilled until I saw the price tag. ;_: Looks like I really am going to have to wait for them to come to America.

 

[Nekusagi]

I wonder if someone will start a shopping service or something for these. You know, some of our friends in Asia (hint, hint)?

 

[$aturn¥oshi]

I want a dark and edgy Mew shirt.

 

[Mew2Too]

These shirts are just works of art. I know they carry adult-sized Pokemon shirts at Hot Topic and the like, but they're all "retro" looking. There's something elegant about those designs, though. I'm really hoping Hot Topic or somebody will import them. Just gorgeous.
