The range consists of a selection of different styles of shirts for men, women and children that can be customised with a range of fabrics featuring patterns inspired by Pokémon. Initially there were 151 different fabric patterns based on the Kanto Pokémon from Generation I. On Pokémon Day 2020, it was announced that the range would be extended to include patterns featuring the 100 Johto Pokémon from Generation II.

History

On January 18, 2019 Pokémon Shirts was announced in Japan and pre-orders for shirts began, although during this period only 20 of the patterns were available[2]. Those that preordered also received a free a buttonhole handkerchief made of a randomly selected fabric. From February 21 to February 24, 2019 a pop-up store opened in Harajuku, Tokyo offering visitors an oppertunity to buy shirts with exclusive fabric patterns from four guest designers, as well as previews of the 151 fabrics that would be available to order online from February 27, 2019[3].

Following the launch in Japan, on May 24, 2019 Ohta Publishing released issue 59 of Continue magazine which contained a special feature detailing all 151 fabrics available[4][5]. Following this, from June 7 to June 10, 2019 an exhibition was held at HMV & Books Shibuya that featured the original fabric samples for each design, along with a display of Pikachu plushies wearing different Pokémon Shirts. There was an exclusive poster for sale and visitors who brought along the volume of Continue received an exclusive sticker; those who had brought a copy at HMV & Books Shibuya received a sticker and a badge[6].

At the Pokémon 2019 Press Conference it was announced that Pokémon Shirts would be making its way to the United States and Europe[7] and on October 4, 2019 they began shipping in the United States. To promote the launch, Hawaiian-style short-sleeve Snorlax, Vileplume, Lickitung and Magikarp shirts were added to Pokémon GO[8] and a pop-up shop opened on October 5 & 6, 2019 in New York City. Visitors could purchase Snorlax, Vileplume, Lickitung, Magikarp and Pikachu Hawaiian style short sleeve shirts and those who made purchases in to store, or online while stocks lasted, received a free bag made of the Pokémon Shirts fabric. All visitors to the store also got a free magnet[9].

On December 18, 2019 it was announced that shipping would begin to the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand[10].

On February 27, 2020 it was announced that 100 new patterns had been created based on the Pokémon found in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and that 20 of them would be available for purchase in a three-day pre-order event starting that day. Again, a handkerchief was offered to those who preordered a shirt[11]. On the same day it was announced that shirts in children's sizes were now available (up until then there were only adult sizes)[11]. On April 3, 2020 casual-style long-sleeved Ledyba, Skiploom, Unown, and Smoochum shirts were added to Pokémon GO[12].

of The Pokémon Company 		Houndour
"A pack of Houndour has gathered in the darkness of night. They make repeated eerie howls before dawn to call attention to their pack."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Houndoom
"People, from long ago, thought Houndoom was the grim reaper and feared it. Its frightening form stands out strikingly against the yellow background."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Kingdra
"It is said that Kingdra creates giant whirlpools every time it moves. Their motion seems to have created the whirlpool waves on this sailor stripe pattern."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Phanpy
"Phanpy prance cheerfully about this stripe pattern. If you look closely, you can spot some snout like patterns hidden among the lines."
Design by Saki Okamura
of Buraian
Donphan
"Donphan has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. A herd of marching Donphan is quite a site to see."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Porygon2
"Porygon2 was created by humans using the power of science. It hovers among the "0"s and "1"s in this open space."
Design by Saki Okamura
of Buraian 		Stantler
"Similar to the way staring at Stantler's antlers will create an odd sensation of being drawn into one's center, those who gaze upon this shirt may be inexplicably drawn to it."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Smeargle
"Smeargle marks its territory using a body fluid that leaks out from the tip of its tail. The color changes with the Pokémon’s emotions, creating this colorful pattern."
Design by Shinya Saitoh
of The Pokémon Company 		Tyrogue
"To brush up on its fighting skills, Tyrogue will challenge anyone. This pattern captures the different training poses that Tyrogue undertake daily to become stronger."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd.
Hitmontop
"Hitmontop fights while spinning like a top. Its elegant kicks look almost like a dance."
Design by NASU Co., Ltd. 		Smoochum
"Smoochum’s lips are highly perceptive sensors. It appears to be using those lips to search for the perfect accessory for itself."
Design by Masami Fukumoto
of The Pokémon Company 		Elekid
"When it’s in a house, electrical outlets serve as Elekid's baby bottles. It seems infuriated with the outlets that don't fit the plugs on its head."
Design by Shinya Saitoh
of The Pokémon Company 		Magby
"It's said that if Magby is spouting yellow flames from its mouth, it is in good health. It appears these Magby are in excellent condition."
Design by Shinya Saitoh
of The Pokémon Company 		Miltank
"Miltank's milk is delicious and chock-full of nutrients. Here it lives a peaceful life on its farm and shares its milk with all who want it."
Design by Eri Kamei
Blissey
"It is said that Blissey's eggs are filled with happiness. It looks like it's going around to share its eggs with those nearby."
Design by Minami Kitamura 		Raikou
"Raikou is said to have fallen with lightning. Its regal form can be recognized through the darkened thunderclouds."
Design by Naoyuki Okamura
of Buraian 		Entei
"Entei is thought to have been born in the eruption of a volcano, spouting massive bursts of fire that utterly consume all that they touch. Its appearance reflects the tales of its origins."
Design by Naoyuki Okamura
of Buraian 		Suicune

Design by Naoyuki Okamura
of Buraian 		Larvitar
"Born underground, Larvitar eats its way through dirt to the surface, where its parents are. It kicks up its heels like it just found a particularly delectable piece of soil."
Design by Minami Kitamura
Pupitar
"Pupitar will not stay still, even while it’s a pupa. It hops here and there, hiding among the multicolored cacti."
Design by Daisuke Takami 		Tyranitar
"The quakes caused when Tyranitar walks, make even great mountains crumble and change the surrounding terrain. You can almost hear the tremors of the earth just by looking at this pattern."
Design by Naoyuki Okamura
of Buraian 		Lugia
"Said to be the guardian of the seas, Lugia can calm the fiercest storms with its incredible power. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm."
Design by Kameyama Tsuruko 		Ho-Oh

Pokémon GO

Main article: Style (GO)

To promote each release of Pokémon Shirts, four patterns from each generation have been added to the Style Shop in Pokémon GO. From the Kanto patterns, Hawaiian-style short-sleeve Snorlax, Vileplume, Lickitung and Magikarp shirts were added and from the Johto patterns casual-style long-sleeved Ledyba, Skiploom, Unown, and Smoochum shirts.

Generation I

  • Vileplume male -  200

  • Vileplume female -  200

  • Lickitung male -  200

  • Lickitung female -  200

  • Magikarp male -  200

  • Magikarp female -  200

  • Snorlax male -  200

Trivia

  • While the Pokémon Shirts website states that the 100 Johto fabric designs are available, the Celebi design is missing (which may be a reference to Celebi's ability to disappear). Setting the date on your device to November 21, 2020 allows you to find and purchase shirts with the Celebi pattern (which is a reference to Celebi's ability to travel through time)[13].
