Uniqlo x Nintendo Collection Debuts

Brand new, official Pokémon merch is coming to Uniqlo!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_YklfP7u6U

Every year popular Japanese clothing brand, Uniqlo, holds their annual UTGP t-shirt design contest; partnering with major brands and companies such as Pixar and Star Wars in the past – this year’s collaborator was none other than Nintendo! Over 16,000 entries were submitted and judged by Shigeru Miyamoto himself, but ultimately only 25 designs featuring characters and themes from Nintendo properties such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin and, of course, Pokémon, were chosen. Check out the Pokémon designs that made the cut!

The Nintendo collection will be available for purchase on Uniqlo’s online store tonight, and in physical stores worldwide starting tomorrow. More details and the other designs can be found at Uniqlo’s official site.

Will you be picking up one of these wonderfully designed shirts, or do you have a better design in mind? Which one is your favorite? Definitely going to be picking up the Magikarp one!

  1. Ehh, maybe I”m showing my age or Japanese fashion’s kinda different, but these shirts all look pretty bad. Really the only one that looks really good(for men at least) is the Animal Crossing one if only because its kind of well made for a non-english speaker.

    • Yeah I’m still not expecting anything. The most maybe being that the new line of merch is heading west, but that’s about it. Its just someone trying to drum up hype on a basis of nothing solid.

        • He’s a Dataminer yes, but he’s provided no evidence of anything. Like I said the only thing that could slightly hint at something is the 20th is the start of the new merch line, which anyone could claim will come with a new game announcement. I’m remaining skeptical since it seems highly unlikely that they would announce a new main series game that has a tie in merch line that was announced a month before the game was announced to exist. But we’ll see soon enough.

    • I wouldn’t doubt a trailer popping up tomorrow, it’s totally within the realm of possibility. We have to be prepared for everything…

  2. The shirts are cool in some ways, but they’re certainly not my favs. I wish some of them didn’t have text

  3. I just found out that we have a Uniqlo store in the downtown area very close to my house! I saw the Nintendo stuff in the window and I was happily surprised. I’ll pick one or two of these up sometime soon.

  6. I got all of the Zelda memories. Uhgggggggg I love her character so much in thisss…. I’m so glad she was fleshed out so well. Especially knowing how another game that tried to flesh out a strong female character went… one that maybe was released for the Wii? One that is part of a franchise that hasn’t had a game for it in years? One that is part of a franchise that released a spinoff that pissed everyone off at E3 2015??? 😛

  7. Pokedex Entry: 89
    Bandibot
    Classification: The Minion Pokemon
    Height: 2’07
    Weight: 43.7
    Type: Steel/Dark
    Ability: Mega Launcher/Skill Link (Hidden Ability: Ammo Cache):
    Stats:
    HP: 35
    Attack: 30
    Defense: 50
    Special Attack: 75
    Special Defense: 50
    Speed: 60
    Base Stat Total: 300
    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon is focused on one single goal; stealing. It does not matter what, it just desires to steal. Due to this single mindedness, it frequently ends up doing the dirty work for Pokemon that desire objects for themselves, such as Malcondor. When it discovers that the Pokemon it works for will not share what it stole for it, Bandibot is sent into a frenzy where it attacks all in sight with little success.

    Pokedex Entry: 90
    Mechagade
    Classification: The Rebellious Pokemon
    Height: 3’11
    Weight: 78.9
    Type: Steel/Dark
    Ability: Mega Launcher/Skill Link (Hidden Ability: Ammo Cache)
    Stats:
    HP: 55
    Attack: 50
    Defense: 70
    Special Attack: 105
    Special Defense: 70
    Speed: 81
    Base Stat Total: 431
    Pokedex Entry: Having grown more wary of its surroundings, Mechagade fights for itself and only for itself. It will violently assault anything that has something it desires until it receives what it desires. If it was duped as a Bandibot, it will relentlessly hunt down the one who tricked it and deal justice to them swift and painfully.

    Pokedex Entry: 91
    Desperobo
    Classification: The Lawless Pokemon
    Height:
    Weight:
    Type: Steel/Dark
    Ability: Mega Launcher/Skill Link (Hidden Ability: Ammo Cache)
    Stats:
    HP: 75
    Attack: 66
    Defense: 84
    Special Attack: 137
    Special Defense: 80
    Speed: 103
    Base Stat Total: 545
    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon is considered dangerous by most people due to the brutal fighting style it progresses. It will attack the foe nonstop until they are fainted. Even if they cannot get up, it will continue to attack. Despite this, it views a skilled trainer as a partner and will follow their judgement. They are very rare in the wild because of “safety reasons” taken to ensure the well-being of the nearby public.

  8. Whelp I’m loving Persona 5! I’m a little more than 3 hours in and have been to the first dungeon. I think I’ll have to return later tho All the adults are such assholes too hahahaha

    Reply
    • Oh you’ve only scene the start of it. Not really a spoiler but the first dungeon you have to go back too like 3-4 times total at min. Pretty much how its structure works is that you need to reach the treasure, and once there you’ll have to send out a calling card to steal it on the next day and fight the boss of the dungeon. In the first games case though I think its kinda special that as soon as you reach the treasure, the next day you’ll auto send your card, and the third day you’ll fight the boss, so try to make sure you have at least three days before the timer’s up on it. With other dungeons though you might have some sort of wall you have to hit that makes you take more time to clear it. That wall pretty much acts as a treasure for the moment and will start scripted events to clearing it, usually allowing you to reach the treasure on the very next day after taking care of the wall.

      As for adults being assholes, yeah a lot of them are. Its kind of a major theme of the game and a big problem in Japan. This old idea that generally because they were worked nearly to death by their superiors, and they survived, it means that they can treat people like crap now as a reward for their hard success and the next generation will do the same. I’d guess that once you meet the Politician(the Sun), he’ll be pretty popular for ya. He’s pretty much fictional Japanese Bernie Sanders, stressing the importance of the youth and their future. But then again most of the adults that you get to know in the game are pretty great, especially Sojiro. He’s kinda great once he starts opening up a lot more and talking about his personal life.

          • It really makes ya wonder how could the possibly top something so utterly breathtaking
            I mean I really hate to bring down the room (this way) but what if this is it, no future Zelda game could capture this lightning in a jar again

            Still waiting for Minish Cap 2 or the next installment of DS Zelda move em with the stylis thingy
            Or Freaking give Link’s Awakening the ALBWs makeover

            Just a few small gems to wash ashore while the Breath of the Wild Tsunami breaking things down for a while

          • As game design improves and we get better technology, one day, we will make something better. Thats how it was with Ocarina of Time. When you really think about it, the jump from Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess to Breath of the Wild is a massive one. I’m willing to wait another 10 or 20 years for something like this again.

  11. Well, I suppose no Pokemon game will be coming out this year. I do think it’s alright if they don’t release one because more work can be achieved for the next game’s development.

    Reply
    • Not necessarily. there could still be an announcement. Sure they’ve never announced anything at e#, but it’s not impossible. Plus if there’s any credence to the next game being on the Switch it’d be pretty likely they’d cover it during the Tree House live event they have scheduled.

    Resnowcue are used to save people that get lost in the mountains. They are trained and sent to the mountains by Nurse Joys. They usually have a Full Heal on their collar. It doesn’t matter if you catch one, Nurse Joys send enough of them to save everyone.

People do tweet about personal stuffing going to for them. either way I’d say stay cautious until we see anything actually to be excited about lol

      Reply
      • Technically “tomorrow” should be today. With that said it’s looking like what he’s talking about is prolly not Pokemon related like I figured. Someone on Bulbagarden says that apparently PJ stated it’s not Pokemon related. I’m not sure where they got that tho as I haven’t seen PokeJungle in any way comment about this. Either way I’m not so sure we should be getting excited. Just yet lol

    We need pokemon game that keeps us for a long time. So for you guys, what feature would keep you playing a pokemon game for a while after you beat the game?

    Reply
        • Its a mix of things. I don’t like Gaiden, so I wasn’t going to like Echoes, I’m kinda pissed about the whole DLC issue, And in general I’m not a fan of the occasional elites badmouthing new fans acting like this is a return to Fire Emblem as it should be and treating the game like its Classic fire emblem, which it clearly isn’t in any way.

  19. Nrrrrrrrrg, still no shiny Sandygast
    This day was poorly planned, since my house is getting painted I decided to make today the shiny hunt
    I couldn’t stay in my car today because of heat and seeked refuge in the crummy outlet mall, which was ok, but now my DS battery grows weak so I had to either lose all mornings progress or buy a charger from GameStop and find an outlet
    And now I sit flat on the floor with molding jammed in my back waiting for my thing to charge up until later…
    I just wanna go home and find this stupid thing so my time wouldn’t be wasted…

  22. I know we placed bets on whether Pokemon game will come this year, and we also had a bet debating what game would come next, but heres a new one.
    Do you think Lillie will return in the next pokemon game?
    Personally, I dont think Lillie will come back because shes such a great character. I know that sounds VERY contradicting, but I think to keep the amazingness of Lillie is to just have her in a game once. To make you wanting more.

  23. Grrrgumble Shiny Sandygast attempt 2

    -they spam Sand Tomb and Sand Attack so pack a Flying type with Aerial Ace

    • Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it’ll just be something about hacking the Switch. Once again JP himself told me it’s not Pokemon related and it seems like a weird time for Nintendo to be announcing anything brand new just yet. Plus have they ever announced anything on a Friday night(for the west) and Saturday morning (for Japan)? Seems like a weird time for them to do it.

            Lately I have a stalker who always joins me in the lobby I’m in. Anytime I come online, a race later bam he’s in the lobby. Error happens, I join again, a race later, bam, there he is again. Some guy named AlexisCL

    • Ehh, it kinda makes sense. Western and American styled things have kinda doubled down in Popularity in Japan. Heck My Hero Academia pretty much taken the number 2 slot for Jump, and its pretty heavy in American ideals. A lot of their series are resembling some of ours. Even recent games like Persona 5 were made with some American ideals with its villains having a subtext of being monsters from inside your world rather then the outside like most Japanese stories.

          there’s this species of Beetle called the Histeridae Beetle which are freaking called Clown Beetles

          i’d see a big ass beetle with white polka dot colored shell that create a loud silly honking sound to ward off predators

  48. Hmmmmmmm i’m trying to figure out what my Sandygast should do
    i’m debating the idea of a Doubles set with a yulch Greninja

    Boost the SP Defense as much as possible, Water Shuriken it to max Defense and with a Passho Berry and just be nothing but bulk and stall with Sand Tomb Infestation and Toxic because this experience taught me that Sand Tomb is just annoying

    so
    Hardy
    HP 252
    SpDef 252
    Def 4
    Passho Berry
    Sand Tomb
    Infestation
    Toxic
    Shore Up/Protect

    and double up with a Greninja or anything that can supercharge its defenses like the fortress it is

    its not meant to be a super set just something to play around with i mean its a Pallossand its not perfect

    thoughts?

    Reply
    • Can you really do anything with that nature. I would not use sand tomb just use shore up/Earth power (or infestation)/Toxic/Protect.
      OR if you want to try That greninja idea+ Anemsia with Earth Power Shore up and another move.
      Lastly, I would NOT use greninja, SpA is too high, and with stab. Try somethin different

  49. Random Pokemon memory:
    I remember I broke my GBA so there was a line down the left side edge. That left edge is used to tell when trainers want rematches in Emerald, so I never knew what trainers and gym leaders to rematch, so I just cycled through each gym leader and the trainers on the route next to Mauville City every time I turned on the game. Good Times.
    Say a Random Pokemon Memory you have. It doesnt have to be a big story like mine, just make some conversation

      I was just playing my SS after I restarted and in the first bush after Cherrygrove was a Shiny Weedle that I caught and I went through all the way to the first gym after the tower and my ds almost died so I turned it off as I remembered that I had that weedle frantically I rechecked to find out… That I had luckily saved right after it was captured now its a lvl.32 Beedrill in Sun and Moon

  50. Ok I just had a thought. After watching part of a theory video I saw on YouTube I got to thinking about Necrozma. Part of the video focused on the idea that maybe Necrozma is actually the creator of Z crystals. From that a thought came into my mind. what if in the next game Necrozma gets a Z move that doesn’t require a z Crystal (sort of like M Rayray) in that IT is the Z crystal? Maybe it gets a new form that allows it to use said Z move without the need of a crystal? Wouldn’t be the craziest thing in the world would it? lol

  52. So I have a funny thing to share about my Sun experience. When I was about to fight Guzma, my sibling, who was playing Moon and just fought Guzma, mentioned the main Pokemon he had. I thought they meant Scolipede instead of Golisopod for some reason, so I had my Minior first.

    Then I realized what they said just before Guzma sent out his first mon. What proceeded was half my team getting wrecked and almost losing.

          • Yes, energy/power engineering. The subject is a graduate course on electrical motor drives and all related aspects. Basically how to control a motor the way you want. But it requires significant amounts of understanding of electrical machines, control theory, numerical methods and power electronics. And even then it is some sort of introductory course on how drive systems operate, it doesn’t make you able to start designing one yourself.

    Ghost
    The Lost Soul Pokemon
    Artists are so diffrent than a typical human, that when they die, they turn into a special pokemon. They draw on real paper with a ghost pencil. They dream about turning back into humans.

    Evolves at level 27 into:

    Artialize
    Ghost/Normal
    The Materializing Pokemon
    Artialize use their drawing skills to create new bodies for themselves, but they still aren’t fully transformed. Some legends say that Smeargle are fully materialized Artialize.

    They both can learn Sketch one time.

    a shriveled tiny grey alien like pokemon with mushroom features, a flat mushroom cap with a pinkish grey coloration with a several green bumps similar to a UFO, it has very large saucer like eyes that slightly stick outward, its body only consists of a rail thin body and long stringy arms with rounded fingertips it does not have any legs and they float in the air with psychic waves
    “long ago strange dust fell from the sky and eventually grew into this Pokemon, their bodies glow whenever the sun goes down and bask in starlight”

    Saprosmic
    The Fungal Pkm
    Grass/Psychic
    Effect Spore/Forewarn HA: Regenerator
    a thicker much bigger alien like mushroom Pokemon, its pink dark grey mushroom cap is bigger and wider with several swirly patterns with bright cyan colored lumps that glow, its head it tube like and it has three bright green eyes, its pale grey body is extremely long and lanky with its arms are still thin but their fingers are long roots, its legs are nothing but flat stumps, it never touches the ground only levitating
    “Saprosmic emit powerful psychic rays from their powerful minds, because they produce so much energy it leaks out their bodies in the form of brightly glowing dust that causes headaches”

      • Technical terms: it’s a derivation to determine the mutually induced parallel capacitance of three insulated high voltage cables for use in a power systems analysis.
        Simple answer: it’s to model three big electricity cables that lie closely together under the ground, so your electricity company knows how the cable behaves if everyone turns on their lights.

        Reply
    • *not back*

      I’ve seen worse.

      It’s just multiplying a matrix by a vector and a scaling factor (which appears to be the inverse of the circumference of the cable). It just looks like there’s more than there is because instead of bidning the result of an equation to a variable they repeat the equations (like how 27 * pow(R, 6) turns up a heck of a lot).

      The stuff at the top left is just a long chain of equivalences, presumably to help people simplify the equation.

      Reply
      • Yeah, you’re wright in that the matrix itself looks worse than it is (it’s a symmetrical problem so everything gets repeated often). What doesn’t help though is the use of the end result in the rest of the course, it’s literally the hardest course I’ve come across, because everything uses coupled equations and requires a lot of time to calculate parameters.

        • Get a programmable calculator and write a program to solve it for you.

          I haven’t checked if this compiles because I’ve misplaced my GHC executable and the online ones don’t have the Data.Matrix module, but here’s a Haskell implementation I just threw together for creating the big matrix in the centre:

  59. Aww, this is kinda sweet. Anyone remember that story I mentioned about that Penguin, Grape-Kun. The Penguin that fell in love with a 2D cutout of an Anime girl that was themed around animals and put in his pen to help promote knowledge about animals in Japan. Well as it turns out, the character’s VA kinda loved the story and with Japan kinda falling in love with the silly story of the Penguin, the Zoo asked her to be a guest of Honor for a day and meet the infamous Penguin in question. And now the internet forever has this lovely photo of her holding Grape-Kun as he looks on questioning what life is anymore when he’s found out that 3D girls also exist.

  60. After watching a bunch of ARMS footage, I’m growing to dislike Byte and Barq, and I can’t see myself using them. Their movements seem too, for lack of a better word, robotic for a game like this. I guess what I’m trying to say is, the character seems to have very little agility/mobility and their movements seem to rigid for my tastes.

    Reply
    • Well that’s probably a balance thing since they are technically two characters and need to be somewhat of an easy target to make up for it.

      • True, true. It’s just a personal preference, slow characters with little mobility don’t match my play style. I’m looking at Ninjara and Minmin the most currently.

  61. Star Being Stupid Moment #894

    So I found this kind of healthy chocolate milk thing in the pantry and was like “hmm.. yeah im pretty thirsty and I want some delicious chocolate goodness” so I take it out and star looking at the box. The instructions literally just say to pour it in a cup and stir. So I do that and I stir it for 15 seconds before realizing.. “Oh, ya know, I dont think this powder is going to magically turn into a liquid from being stirred” And so I had a cup with wasted chocolate milk powder in it because I don’t have any milk .-.

    • Truly a perfect end to Jack. Not a happy end, but Ronin’s rarely ever truly get one. But seeing everyone come back for one final fight. One last bit of banter with the scottsman. The final stand of the Spartans. Even the very first people Jack saved from Aku 50+ years ago.

      Jack’s found his peace. His journey’s come to and end. How all that remains is asking what will return next? Its kind of a given after how successful Jack’s been. First guess would be something like Symbiotic titan. Especially given its main issue for being cancelled pretty much is no longer an issue now. And with Adventure time ending next year, Regular show over, Gumball ending soonish(probably), and the state of Steven Universe always up in the air, it could be time for its return, given it always had more mature themes and could feed that market well.

    • Ehh, let them be salty. It was pretty much a perfect ending for the show. Not really happy, but it really wasn’t suppose to be. Jack’s a Ronin after all. His tale kinda has to be a tragedy. And seeing pretty much everyone still alive that has helped him grow and he had helped over the years join in battle simply when they see him in trouble was kinda great. Also hearing Mako’s voice one last time was a real high-light to me.

  68. so i had a thought or three on the subject of Sandygast’s anatomy
    -if a sandygast fell into a moving river or ocean would its body complete deteriorate into nothing and the shovel float away never to be found again?
    -and where the frack does it find such a shovel? my theory that it might actually be organic
    – and finally would it be possible for a Sandygast to form a symbiotic relationship with Hippopotas and Hippowdon? or would it be more of a parasite?

After that I kind of fell off telling myself that I’d get caught up soon. Now it’s over and I think it’s prolly for the best that I waited. This season is great and I’m happy I’m watching the episodes in a continuous fashion. I’m up to episode 7 I think. Jack seems to have gotten his groove back and is now gonna go on the hunt for is stuff. Gotta take a shower, but then I’ll continue lol

  76. Anyone have some E3 predictions?

    I feel like they will only show and focus on 2017 games and won’t announce any game for 2018. They’ll go indepth for games already announced and maybe a small surprise fo the games themselves, but I don’t see them doing big surprises. Maybe Pokémon Stars as the big reveal for this year, but that’s the highest I’m raising expectations. So in that regard:

    – Splatoon 2: new maps and modes
    – Mario Odyssey: lots of footage, demo on the floor
    – Mario Rabbits revealed, release quarter
    – Zelda BotW: DLC explained, date announced
    – Pokémon Stars: reveal, release month, only for Switch
    – Xenoblade 2: new trailer, gameplay demo, release month revealed
    – Fire Emblem Warriors first gameplay
    – Indie sizzle real: announcing dates for Terraria, Stardew Valley, some others

    That would be it, I’m guessing no Animal Crossing, no Metroid, no F-Zero, no showing of Retro studios project, nothing crazy really.

    Reply
      • No real reason too, it’s very likely a 2018 game and they will show it closer to launch later this year. They need to spread their releases out, and the heavy hitter but also more unknown games need to come later in the life cycle.
