-'''Pokémon 151''' was an adult-oriented [[Pokémon]] clothing line, featuring stylized designs of [[Generation I]] Pokémon. Only five T-shirt designs were ever released for sale, featuring {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Hypno}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}. The clothing line is designed to appeal to older or previous Pokémon fans who prefer or are nostalgic about the first generation of Pokémon. The line was discontinued as of December 31, 2008, presumably in response to a lack of interest, or perhaps because it never "caught on", though no official reason has been released yet.
