Same reason why Disney is a toy company and McDonald’s is a real estate business.
>McDonald’s is a real estate business
what?
they buy up buildings and land for their restsurants, an easy way to make money is to just buy something 10 miles from the newest mcdonalds and wait a few years
I usually don't check merch releases but decided to and this is probably the most hilarious yet
>120 dollars for a hoodie that is the same color as the logo, making it so you can hardly see the logo
>80 dollars for a long sleeve shirt like OP
>45 dollars for a regular T-shirt
>80 dollars for a hoodie that doesn't HAVE a logo
>And the logo on everything is a Times New Roman R
>All of the ads are zoomers wearing this bigass R on them
>But you get a mug if you spend $150 dollars
Merch thread?
meanwhile, Uniqlo releases Pokémon Masters EX UT shirts. Cheap, kinda meh in choice of logos (most are pandering to shillings, like Leon, Red and Charizard to the point that shirt with villains, pic related are the best of the release) but it's official merch. Only around 10-15$ (they will discount it later on)
Who remembers Pokemon 151, the very first line of Pokemon merch aimed at adults? Really cool designs.
Also had a rapist Hypno shirt for... reasons
I still have a bootleg Mewtwo shirt
then you don't. moron.
the audience for this is 35+ millennials who are more likely to be big money consumers now due to age (and how it correlates with wealth accumulation)
That's literally the only reason this is happening, because they can afford to dump $80 on lame ass merch
gen 1 Black folk should neck themselves though, TR aren't even that special
only reasonable if it's high quality
be sure to take a look at the R carefully you can see the outline of the iron on
They're hardly ever higher quality than avarage hoodies, shirts etc. When you buy fricking 80$ f1 polo shirt and it doesn't even have sawed-in logos but just printed ones, you know you are fricked hard for the logo
Which it obviously isn't, as it's Pokemon merch after all.
their newer plushes are actually pretty well made, but i'm not autistic enough to buy pokemon branded clothing lmao
kantoBlack folk will buy anything if it reminds them of le ebin POKEMANIA, which is why they're still pandered to.
The target audience for this shit doesn't associate a black t-shirt with an R in the corner as related to Pokemon. Had they made a shirt that resembles James' shirt from the anime then sure, that would sell, but this shit?
Maybe they're too moronic to recognize the logo by itself, and maybe they're moronic enough to buy James outfit as well, but you honestly think some of these manchildren wouldn't buy this overpriced garbage and unironically wear it at home or even outdoors because it's subtle enough to look like an actual piece of clothing?
I have a few pokemon bootleg outfits. Because It's a fraction of the price. But most of the time like with video game shirts you get stuff that's vague enough to not be recognised.
Like the gengar face, or a type symbol.
Normalgays buy Pokemon merch specifically so they can show off how much a nerd xd they are, subtle clothes go against that.
I worked in a comic shop pre wu flu. The most common clothing items I saw that were Nerdy were Legend of zelda crap. The amount of triforce tattoos I saw.
Also that one tribal eevee tattoo I saw that on 2 dozen different girls. Almost exactly the same.
Anyone who actually buys anything from this line should be castrated.
It's branding.
Official pokemon logo jacks the price up. Look at Supreme brand or north face. Just shitty clothing with a logo stuck on it so it's worth more. That's how it works.
You could always just buy a shirt and take it to your local print shop make your own.
I bought the Mimikyu hoodie and regret nothing ama
I can design and print my own shirt for less than $20 and still make a lot of money off them. TPCi has gone full israelitery
I remember really wanting that whimsicott beanie for some reason.
I spent $100 on a kind of flashy looking hoodie that I liked (not merch or anything just hadmade), it'll be here in 2 weeks probably but man I can't stop thinking about it.
I've only recently decided to try getting into fashion stuff, is spending this much on clothes the norm? Lately to me it feels like you don't actually need any sort of name brand clothes, just get something that fits well, but I've also almost exclusively worn a hoodie and jeans like my entire adult life so I don't know shit.
>Go to Walmart (or Amazon I don't care)
>Buy pack of t-shirt transfer paper ~$10
>Buy $4 shirt
>Print out the Rocket R
>Iron onto shirt
>Put on counterfeit shirt, criminal
>You are now a Rocket
