Bape x Pokemon

Photobucket

Everyone, and I repeat EVERYONE (okay, maybe not everyone) has gone through their Pokemon phase. Whether you were chin-checkin' that other kid on the playground for their holographic Charizard, trading your Bulbasaur for a Mewtwo with the linked-up Game Boys, or having seizures watching the TV show, you knew and understood the allure of the 151 (fuck the other new ones) pocket monsters and were primed to catch 'em all. That said, Bape is making moves with the Japanese cartoon phenomenon, throwing the Pokemon spin on some of its more famous designs. Of course they had to rock with Pikachu before anybody else, but I like how they melded the unevolved one with the trademark Bathing Ape. Check some more from their upcoming Pokemon collab (via BapeNerd)...
