Pokemon 151: nostalgia for videogame geeks (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

I just read about this at Dark Mirage's blog. I love this idea!

Many of us were in our late teens, early twenties when Nintendo first burst onto the scene with Pokemon in the nineties. Many of us loved the games and some of us (like me and my brother Mistoffelees) also rather enjoyed the TV series and movies. These days we tend to look back on those days with a hint of nostalgia, longing for the days when there were only 151 Pokemon. I had the same with Magic: the Gathering: at one point in time things get too popular and all of a sudden there's a bajillion different cards/characters and the original romance has been lost.

For people like us, Nintendo's come out with a line of t-shirts for the game geek in his twenties/thirties, called Pokemon 151. For now, there's four different shirts but I'm hoping that they'll come out with a few more. I'd really love to get my hands of a few of these shirts though! Maybe I'll commission them from Kaijuu or Niels-sama on their next trip to Japan.


EDIT:
Darn... As Kaijuu points out, even the measurements of the XL shirt are way too small for most Eurofolk and USAdians...
