Subscriptions boxes are all the rage these days; from Loot Crate to BloomBox, it seems more and more are popping up with each passing month.
Amazon are no strangers to subscription services, but the company has now launched its first Pokémon t-shirt subscription service, offering a brand new design every month for the rolling price of $19.99 - this is a fixed price, regardless of which size or fit you choose.

Judging by the solo image on Amazon's official product page, it's hard to judge exactly what kind of designs we can expect from the service, whether they'll be based on the games, the TV series, or just individual Pokémon; perhaps it'll be a mix of all three. Let's just hope you don't wind up with a Luvdisc design...

If you don't renew your subscription, Amazon's employees will personally come to your house and take the shirts away.
Do they come in Snorlax-size?
Why do you need such subscription?
In case you don't want to wash it and throw it away after wearong it once?
That's a steep price point for a t-shirt these days.... especially since I honestly don't believe it would be high quality material.
I probably won't subscribe to this, if anyone wants to know about the shirts themselves, I'm guessing these are the Pokemon shirts that Amazon makes as they're ordered.
I've gotten a Peach shirt and a bunch of DreamWorks Trolls shirts from Amazon via this method (made to order, not a sub), if they're anything like that, they're usually good quality and the print looks great. Just to give those an idea of what these are like, since I tend to wear character shirts.
Also, reading the FAQ, you can't pick color choice, while you usually can when buying shirts alone. Which is something I tend to like to do anyway.

What’s wrong with Luvdisc? It’s beautiful in its simplicity.
I'll be busy trying to pay my bills next month, shirts can wait
@MostHandsieBoy I'm saying it's a bad pricepoint for a virtually useless service. Everyone has different tastes in what they wear - style, colors, images, etc.. If it works for you, good for you.
And no, I'm not "poor". Let's see, my paycheque two weeks ago was for $3500 and I grabbed an Xbox Series X bundle, a few other games and our family enjoyed some fantastic wagyu striploins over the weekend.. We're not rich, but we're comfortable. Have a nice day.
I can’t stand how companies try to make everything into a subscription service these days. They like to claim it’s for your convenience, but it’s mostly just for all the extra money they make from people who forget to cancel.
I expect the quality will be as such that each only only lasts about a month too.
Plus as others said, this seems expensive to be given a random shirt you might not like, or of a Pokemon you don't care about, or in a colour that doesn't suit you.
Fast fashion is bad and this is very much that.
@Ogbert While it's not Pokemon shirts, I bought these kinds of shirts from Amazon before, they actually last. The Peach shirt I mentioned, I got a couple of years ago, and it still holds up. They definitely don't last a month.
I would be cautious if the shirt color is black, had a few where the picture chipped a bit. Any other color, they hold up.
Not related to Pokemon or Nintendo, I got a Trolls shirt via this method last year (buying from Amazon, not a sub), but on a light blue, and it still looks as good as the day it came in the mail.
Again, posting this just to give others an idea of how these kinds of Amazon shirts are since this is an Amazon Pokemon shirt subscription and I'm guessing the shirts are made via the same method.
Who would want that?
This is basically hoping people don't want to miss out on t-shirts that only have a limited run.
I get I'm probably not the target audience for this, but who needs a new T-Shirt every month? I've got T-Shirts that I still wear that are older than my kids (late teens)
"Subscriptions boxes are all the rage these days."
You say that, but almost every box I've been subscribed to has popped its clogs and gone bankrupt!!!
I think they managed to release 3 Doctor Who boxes before NerdBlock went the way of the dodo.
Degustabox is probably the only one still going, from my past favourites, but they've been struggling post-brexit, since a lot of their unique foodstuffs were European in origin.
No thank you I have enough Pokèmon t-shirts already.
Yea maybe if I was still supporting Amazon and had my subscription but I still see no reason to give them my money
Man rich people are weird. I get the whole "oh what's in the box?!" aspect of it...kind of..but I'd rather just..buy a shirt I really like?
