A new range of Summer-themed Pokémon clothing has launched in a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and online retailer Zavvi.
Described with tantalising adjectives such as "exclusive", "limited-edition" and, most importantly, "fully licensed", this collection of new designs features a bunch of your favourite 'mon including Pikachu, Squirtle, Exeggutor, Psyduck and Slowpoke.
Being inspired by the Hawaii-esque aesthetic of the Alola region from Pokémon Sun & Moon, there are plenty of surf-y, flowery, and above-all colourful options if you're after t-shirts, hats, sneakers, or other summer accessories with a vintage vibe.
"There will also be two limited-edition Zavvi x Pokémon handcrafted canvas high-top designs" we're told via a PR release ('high tops' are the shoes, if you're not down with sneaker lingo). "Choose from either an underwater Magikarp trainer or a tropical Pikachu theme."
Well, there's only one correct answer there as far as we're concerned, although we shan't reveal which for fear of incurring the wrath of the PokéPosse. Here are some pics of the various designs and objet Poké available at the time of writing, plus a small selection of our favourite items from a sizeable selection:

@Rika_Yoshitake nintendolife is a european/UK website. It’s usefull to european readers.
@darkswabber last i checked the world doesn't revolve around europe.
@Rika_Yoshitake no, but nintendolife (or nintendolife when it was originally created), zavvi and this article do. Which is why this article isn’t useless to european users.
@darkswabber I'm sorry for my compatriot's attitude. The world doesn't revolve around the US, and if it did then we'd be a molten, unlivable cesspool, and though sometimes things can look bad I still hold out faith for humanity and things aren't that bad.
@Rika_Yoshitake ... You can use a reship company to bring the shoes overseas. The UK doesn't have different sizes for men and women, so just find your shoe size on a shoe chart to find your US > UK conversion.
@Rika_Yoshitake The world doesn't revolve around the US and thank god it doesn’t ‘cos ew. What makes you think this site should be tailored to only show US available items? Why is this article ‘worthless’ simply because it doesn’t ship to the US?
I would really love to ship those squirtle swim shorts to Canada ❤️🔥
@Rika_Yoshitake They do ship to the US. I have ordered clothing and pillows from there. Never shoes. They may not ship shoes, but for me these shoe links don't even work/exist. If I could share a screenshot, I would.
This looks like a bunch of Easter clothes but with Pokémon.
I like the shoes....but when I tried to buy, I had to remove them from cart, because they don't deliver them to Norway. The shirts I could buy, though. Wtf?
I ordered from Zavvi for the Pokemon 35 collection, took almost 3 months to arrive, and then they sent the wrong size, horrible customer service.
I was basically told, "they might be delivered this week, or in a few months, we don't know"
@AndyRogan I had the same experience.
Ordered a POP Vinyl, It was supposed to come at the end of January, then February, then early march, then they told me definitely start of April.
I cancelled and paid a little more to order from eBay, came next week...
I was on customer service to Zavvi constantly trying to find out where my order was. Would not recommend this company.
