reviewing every pokemon shirt pattern

this will be a LONG one with a LOT of images so it might nuke your browser, warning.

it is 3 days until pokemon day, and i am so damn excited.

to show that excitement, i am reviewing every pokemon shirt pattern! yes this format has been done before. but not in text form. so this will be fun.

hover over images to enlarge them!

gen 1/kanto

i like bulbasaur! i like how it interacts with the pattern itself (besides the pokemon)

not really a fan of this one. something about it seems. off

i like the scattered petals but not the Everything else

big fan of this one. im not really a charmander line fan, but i like camping.

i GUESS i like the colors but everything about it is so. corporate. to me. it doesnt work with this mon

of course CHARIZARD gets really good art. its nice.

its round. like how the squirtle shells are the bubbles

DIGGING the art style here. reminds me of stickers. i like how squirtles here too!

blastoise once again gets shafted. how sad. it shouldve been steel type

the very hungry caterpie! i love it, childrens book artstyle. id wear it

its nice but nothing to write home about

this is hurting my eyes.

again with the corporate art style. its not good

this is funky but i wouldnt wear it

this fucks severely

sure is shapes. would these make good cookies?

egg. and a few birds. rather boring.

i fuck with the art style.

rattata didnt deserve art this good bro

it reminds me of old biology books with drawn pictures

its spearow colored. i like the lineart?

this is also hurting my eyes but i like it i think? not sure

lineless art with spirals, nice

ill be honest i didnt even realise the actual pokemon was here at all

where is the background

funky! i like this pattern.

they built my sandshrew into a wall cant have shit in kanto

the only actual pokemon in this is the heads god bless

i like it! i hope nidoran male matches, its very pleasing to the eye

wtf is the other shape, glad we kept with the colors tho

they fumbled it.

YESSSS IM SO GLAD THEY MATCH

do all the nidos match? oh no nidoking will suck then

booo

this barely looks like clefairy but i guess would make good stealthy merch

i get WHY they have the moons but it just looks strange here. especially as theres only 3 clefables

i like it! its nicely colored and i like the silohuettes of vulpix

THIS is how the nidoqueen and nidoking shirts should have done it

i like how every single space is a jigglypuff, its cute

oh a sideways variation for wigglytuff! interesting. wonder if igglybuff will be the other direction?

zubat looks so fucking strange without its wings out dude

as does golbat. ewww

its nice? i wish oddish featured more in it though

i like it! im not a gloom fan, but this pattern is nice and lice

not a fan.

this is so nice it reminds me of old childrens books love the art here

DUDE ENTIRE PARAS LINE'S ART IS BANGER?? THIS IS NICE AS HELL TOO, possibly my favorite so far

why is venonat with hexagons when its not a bee, and only there twice. colors are nice though

it just looks like the same image copypasted a bunch :sob:

i like how the dirt is drawn lol, n the little alolan one

this art looks like something my buddy sam would make, not sure itd work as a shirt tho

i like it! the patterns nice as are the colors

thats just a very boring silohuette

this is so pleasing to the eye! i love it when pokemon shirts patterns feature other unrelated pokemon too, so the alolan exeggutor is nice. hawaii

gross and hurts my eyes

they are like monkeys in a barrel :sob: its cute and i like how they grab each other

this really pops! it would also work as stealth merch like the clefairy shirt

this looks like something my mom would have on a bandana

n then they fumbled arcanine. arcanine itself looks very unfitting in its OWN PATTERN

aquarium gravel type beat! i love it

i wish the silohuettes were doing Anything but just standing there

theres only two poliwraths but it works here, okay? why are the fingers like that tho

they are like a weird kaleidoscope pattern

uri geller is Quaking

is this meant to resemble a pirates flag? but a pattern? with alakazam? interesting.

the colors are nice, i like how the fighting type icon is there?

its ok

where is the pokemon on my Pokemon Shirt

YUMMY COLORS i love this

reminds me of a neon sign

the patterns nice AND the inclusion of ledyba and yanma? superb. would Maybe wear this.

hehe its tentacles are the pattern

what can i say but its ok, nothing to write home about

rock climbing wall? but i didnt even Register it as geodude, at first.

uv mapping failure

looks like something my uncle would wear

i like the lineless art + colors

this fucks but doesnt resemble the pokemon anymore its just a flaming horse

oh no its raining :cry: cloyster is there too

another hawaii shirt? nice. hi pyukumuku

a nice pattern, id wear it

kinda boring but the colors are nice?

this fucks but not really a fan of the lines between everything, i know its trying to resemble pixels but its just not working

EW this is so cute

this patterns sucks but if i stare at it a while it makes the dodrio move up and down like a elevator

theres only one seel but its really nice the icebergs take up a lot of space but its ok bc seel is in the middle

yin yang dewgong

sludge in rows with grimer coming out rarely? ok

dude why did muk get unique art for every iteration? :sob:

yummy colors? clam

its nice?

cofagrigus what are you doing here

they couldve had every empty space and full space be haunter but they didnt go for that i guess

its nice

this hurts my eyes and also where is onix

it looks nice

i like how the empty space is z's

love the art! very nice

this is like either the persian art but even more mid

voltorb is hiding! can you find him?

i love the art here its so sofd

only a few eggs

where is alolan exeggutor its been on so many other pokemons art but its not here??

oh god fearow is there because it Eats Cubones

mandibuzz is also here because it Eats Cubones

its nice, do you think the other hitmons + tyrogue match?

hitmonchan at least does!

:P

round and for what reason, wait on second look its actually NOT round, but pretty rounded

funky, i like it

kind of a boring pattern

what is with these shirts and making the pokemon really hard to find in a bad bad way

egg. HAPPY EASTER

see at least this one works with hiding the pokemon bc its tangela

oo same art style as raticate, chanseys there too

its hard to see anything but horsea and thats kinda bad

Interesting. art style. it does pop

something thatd be on a bandana

dude this is even more like the last description i put huh

i like this one! its very nice

we are in space (and shellders here too)

hehe its a fake transparent pattern because mr mime makes transparent barriers

most generic scyther art ever smh

its ok

this pops but not really my style of clothing. my sisterd like it though

hehe its shooting the fire

this kind of sucks

ill be honest this didnt register as tauros at first i was like what fucking regi is this

sure is magikarp

wow they really used stock art for GYARADOS huh

not sure if same art style as the raticate and kangaskhan but i like it

this is so soft and sweet :sob:

god please tell me not all the eeveelutions follow this sucky pattern

OK GOOD THEY DONT. this is really nice!

and this one sucks!

colors are nice?

wireframe. nice

dude the colors are so nice as is the pattern. i love it! lets hope kabutos just as good

he looks emaciated :sob:

i know they cant do the spiral pattern for kabuto but they couldve at LEAST done something similar :sob:

this is nice though, step up from omastar

Eh

he is melting into the pattern oh no

did they try to mimic pokemon gos art style for these birds here? we will see with the others

clearly not. as zapdos is way better than the articuno shirt. i like this one. looks very Hummingbird

thisd make good stealth merch..

water on his head but he doesnt care, kinda a boring pattern though

this pops but again i wouldnt wear it, not my style

again with the old childrens picture book artstyle! its very cute.

this looks like a aesthetic post id see on tumblr! its very nice

hehe shiny mew. very nice


gen 2/johto

a promising start to a new set of patterns. nice colors and lineless art

seems we are continuing with that style for bayleef, nice because kantos lineup didnt really copy styles for evolutionary families, wonder if meganium will too

it doesnt but i dont mind. its very nice, something id see on a bandana given to me by my mom

lots of inactive cyndaquil then a couple erupting ones. nice

this style doesnt really work for quilava in my onion

its hidden between the flames and somewhat hard to see. they fumbled the rest of this line. shame

cuuute. its gnawing on the columns!

i dont know what to call this art style other than I like it

thick line art once more, though this time more pointy

the colors are very pleasing to the eye! i love it!

kind of cluttered but it Doesnt work here.

hes just eyes

i like it!

ledyba looks so derpy here (can i say that? its 2024 can i say that? or is that too 2014) wait is vileplume here too?

this fucks severely, but why did they give LEDIAN of all pokemon this good a pattern

its kind of hard to see the pokemon. on my pokemon shirt

storybook artstyle again! nice

i didnt realise crobat was so early in the johto dex god damn. nice pattern tho

its nice? not sure what else to say

we are in space! again. very nice

very sparse, just like pikachus. shame

this is so cute :sob: hi minior too

they went with a poliwag approach instead of what i was expecting! its very cute, id wear it.

is this supposed to be togepi?? its not spikey at all..

this is so soft and sweet, very nice

natu

oo they made it into an egyptian hieroglyphic pattern instead of what its actually based on! its very nice regardless

very cute! plus theres a shiny here, so points for that, love seeing shinies in official art. WAIT I JUST NOTICED THE NAKED MAREEP thats funny

oo more neon sign style. nice. it fits with flaaffy too! (but why is alolan exeggutor here?)

interesting pattern. i like how they conjoin!

well you definitely see the pokemon this time, and its nicer looking than vileplumes

so many cameos by other pokemon! i love the art here its very cute

uh ok i guess, strangeish

interesting. art style, wonder if bonsly will follow up

the art of the pokemon is cute but the colors and pattern kinda suck

this is so cute! another bandana pattern to me

interesting?

so soft! just like the pokemon itself

im not really an aipom fan but this is nice

this is like the lickitung shirt! but with a single variation

watercolors i think? nice

id wear it

very nice pattern and colors! but at first i was gonna complain about why corsola only got one slot on its own pattern (before i realised it was woopers)

plaid, quagsire flannel would fuck tho

i love this one, at one point i had a shiny edit i did of it as a background to an older website i made

it looks nice, its sure umbreon colors

huhu pixel art

slowking is barely on its own pattern! slowpoke is more prominent and visible than it :sob:

strange choice to not include the face, considering misdreavus is a floating head

hehe they spell out pokemon. itd be a fun shirt to wear!

whats with the yellow :?

these look like scratch and sniff stickers that are also fuzzy

missed opportunity for pineco to be with pinecones or in a pine tree... why pineapples.. ludicolo is already a pineapple

after having no plaid/flannel in kanto, there sure is a lot in johto! (only two so far. still a lot)

very cute, its in tunnels with diglett and dugtrio about, though i wish it had more poses

not a gligar fan really either but this art is so very nice! it reminds me of youtube animations of like. mid 2010s

once again onix is outclassed by its evolution in every way

this is cute, more bandana art

i like the colors! its very cute too

hehe the waves are qwilfish tails

its pretty hard to see scizor in its own art huh, at least the leaves have its claws too

kind of a boring pattern but its nice to look at

i like this one! another ive used on a website ive made. vikavolts here too

whats with the easter eggs :?

obviously the teddy bear pokemon would have a old childrens book artstyle! still nice, and combees there too

this pattern sure pops

im not really sure what to say about this one its just like paisley esque patterns and a few slugmas

they actually did paisleys for the next one!

very boring pattern but i think it works here

this one sucks though

hehe shiny corsola and some strange yellow variation too

ive seen this style before but i dont know the name. very nice though

if you had no idea this was pokemon youd think its just a normal shirt! shiny is there though, as is miltank

christmas wrapping paper pattern, fitting as it IS delibird

string

strangely detailed for a pokemon shirt that only does a outline

boring pattern but im sure someoned wear it

oh is it corroding because of the venom in its bite? cool!

eh i expected more from a kingdra pattern

very nice colors! and the columns have its little nose there hehe

looks like something youd see in video game ruins on the wall

hehe its body is the 2

dare i say trippy

this is cute! i like the colors too

oo they did continue the hitmon themeing!

glad they did

this pattern is so fucking nice and for what pokemon? smoochum? if you told me itd get one of the best patterns id assume you were lying.

the fake 3d effect kind of hurts my eyes but its nice

they did it with magby too??

christmas wrapping paper type beat, unfitting this time

this is cute

wtf is that thing in the bottom middle

i guess all of the beasts have a pattern like this. a shame

yep

this pops and is very cute, for a strange choice of pokemon

whats with the cactuses? colors are nice though

the negative space IS the pokemon!

its strange looking, but i bet ho-oh follows suit

like clockwork

love the colors! but its hard to see celebi.


gen 3/hoenn

another promising start! i like how it interacts with the spaces and columns

kind of hard to see grovyle, but thats clearly the intent.

big fan of the colors but not a fan of sceptile just kind of being strewn around randomly

unique art for every pose, thats a first with this many poses! very cute art at that too

comic book panel

blaziken is a strange choice for paisleys

this is so cute! and theres a shiny mudkip here too!

im not sure what this reminds me of, but it does of something

its pushing the rocks!

the pattern is tiny poochyena heads! i see, though the actual heads are kind of just strewn about

this is very nice, though not something id wear

reminds me of cookies but im not sure why

its running on the lines

its also climbing on the lines! and theres a few shinies too!

its a struggle to see silcoon

whats the deal with the differently colored ones? its not shiny

its nicer than the silcoon one thats for sure

strange choice for a neon sign style but its very pleasing to the eye

this is so sweet and just nice to look at

are these all shiny??? its very nice

i want more patterns in this style. not a single repeating drawing, its so nice. why did they give LUDICOLO out of everything this style and privilege!

cute

noticing a lot of unique art this generation! very nice. rowlet

tattoo style

very nice colors! oh no wurmple is going to get eaten

kind of a lot going on for my tastes, in a bad way

well at least theres a shiny... very Nothing pattern

dammit why did pelipper have to have cute art

very cute, lots of gen 4 cameos

not a fan of how the pokemon are just dropped wherever

very nice to look at

i think this is my personal favorite from this generation, though we are only a third through. i used it on my tumblr! like right now! i like the cameos too.

i wish my favorite pokemon got a better pattern :crypae:

cute..

reminds me of the parasect one! id wear it.

a lazy pattern for a lazy pokemon

this pattern is so energetic in comparison! just like the pokemon

slaking has more variation than slakoth

its incredibly hard to see the pokemon on its pokemon shirt

very nice pattern but why is regieleki here

cool

at first i thought this was a fake pixel art style again but its actually stitches! its cute and i like how its all unique art except at the loops

theres a lot going on here! but it works here, im a fan of the various music devices everywhere

comic book art style

have makuhita and machop always been rivals? -pulls up bulbapedia- huh. yes, actually, according to the ultra sun pokedex. the more you know.

i like how it blocks off the lines, though i wish it had more variation in poses

cute

nose pass! i like this one

very cute! reminds me of gotchibams art

they made delcatty look even less desirable to me!

cabink cameo. nice colors

cute even though im not a mawile fan

awww its eating the pattern, so cute

interesting art style? shiny spotted

something my bf'd wear

this is really cute, the shiny, the throh and sawk cameo, its all around very good.

and this ones just Ok

those may be my colors, but for some reason this art just isnt with Me

it really pops but i wish it looped earlier

so cute, glad they didnt go the pikachu route

wrapping paper

why do so many bugs have space themed patterns?

old childrens book style once more

very cluttered but it works?

this is just really cute! and i noticed goomy there too!

kind of a basic pattern but its cute so

im not sure what to say about this one its nice?

not really a fan of this

really cute! shiny wailmer, luvdisc, marill, piplup, spheal, mudkip, psyduck, and slowpoke are all there too!

hawaii for no real reason ok

thick lines return

poor torkoal gets shitty art...

cute! clamperl is there too, referencing its dex entries

another kaleidoscope pattern i see, much more a fan of spoinks

smh they dont all have unique spot patterns smh smh

cute, though i wish it had more variety in the design

a boring pattern imo

i wish it had more than two poses... this is just like mega flygon

love seeing all the cactus types!

the background changes more than the pokemons art

very soft and fluffy. alolan vulpix is there too

the just lineart style works here! its very nice

very visible, wonder if seviper will match

it doesnt and im not very okay with this considering it just uses stock art...

at least this looks nice

not really a fan of solrocks though

very basic pattern but i like it, it features aspects of the pokemons design too

cute

interesting pattern

its just a looping single image...

paper dolls hehe

this one scares me and i dont know why, but the upside down one reminds me of the one autism meme

strange choice of colors, but at least it emotes

reminds me of gotchibam again

this is very nice! reminds me of a bandana

very nice but im not sure about on a shirt...

hehe it is square

why is it mirrored

castform did not deserve a pattern this nice.

very cluttered.

neon sign art again

the pattern is the zipper lips!

cute and almost tells a story

dusclops twins

such a good pattern. and for what?

kind of a boring pattern. shame

again reminds me of something sam'd make

cute! and hehe. shiny wynaut

very visible! its my bfs favorite colors too

is it bad that i noticed vanillite before glalie...

very soft

cute and love the unique art for every iteration

circus themeing? strange. isnt that popplios job?

very nice colors! clam

not really a fan of this one

very pretty

it sure is relicanth

would be very good stealthy merch, i wish the shiny was there though. or that they did something like the oras young couple shirts

strange choice of pattern for bagon

not what i was expecting for shelgon either

kind of hurts my eyes

i know this is beldum but it reminds me of protophantoms from animal jam

like the clefairy one, the pokemon is not fully there, not sure im a fan

oh this ones like the mewtwo one! nice

this kind of sucks :{ was expecting like the tauros one

at least the colors are nice?

the regis were so underwhelming. i hope regigigas is better

very cute

stained glass art!

oo very nice

i like the mini art pieces more than the main art lol

this sucks, surprising they fumbled rayquaza

this is 100% by the smile artist. i can tell

kind of a boring end, but still nice


gen 4/sinnoh

compared to the other grass starters, kind of weak in patterns, but very nice regardless.

very nice! a middle stage that doesnt fumble. love the kricketot riding on it

very nice and i like to look at it

very nothing to me

its better? though lacking in poses

not really a fan, as cool as this is

cute, like how the waves are interacted with

it broke the columns :SHOCKED:

its just two colors huh

birds on a wire esque

strange choice for a paisley

oh this fucks

i guess johto and sinnoh really are friends because theres so much plaid here!

i like the colors

ohhh this is so nice and lice, and the shiny, and the colors and the fact it doesnt loop and the

this is nice too!

for some reason this one reminds me of smoochums? in a good way

ohhh i like this one. its very nice. id wear it

nice, i like how the pokemon merges with the background but not fully

is this crayon art? its cute

its kind of hard to see roserade it blends in too well

sure is cranidos in a mesozoic era

ohhh this goes hard. its good.

strange choice of pattern for shieldon, especially compared to cranidos

interesting, better than the last for sure

love the colors! and just very cute.

a lot going on here. its kind of distracting from wormadam

hehe combee is here because mothim steals from it

this is so cute :sob: and i love the colors

reminds me of an actual bees shirt i have

not sure what to say about this one at all, its nice?

why do the images (except wingull for some reason) have weird white backgrounds...

this is too nice for floatzel.

looks nice

again just nice

cute, wonder if gastrodon will be similar

i mean the patterns fitting but its kind of ugly

kind of similar to the aipom one!

cute but drifloon is kidnapping a child (or trying to)

interesting pattern

whats with the dandelions? they look nice but why specifically them

this has the same artist as the buneary, i think

both glad and sad that they didnt go with something similar to misdreavus's

damn i kind of wish they did more pixel art...

ohhh this is really nice and cute. could see it as actual wallpaper

i like how it blocks off the lines, though i wish it had more variation in poses

i wish the drawings were more centered on the colors

LA

interesting art for the stunky, not so much the flowers

i wish there was more variety on the poses, the spirals are funny though

i like it! not really much you can do with bronzor, as its just a plate

ohhh the colors are really nice but i cant think of what they remind me of right now damn, maybe 1950s art?

cute, it goes through the whole span of emotion except anger

is it just me or does this really pop off the background

i like how it grabs the dots hehe

the cables being there is kind of strange... chatot never really used cables right

water color

yay two poses only! and monochrome!

oo this ones nice. especially compared to gible

not really a fan

the berries are kind of a boring pattern but i like that all the munchlaxes are unique

interesting. using orbs. and a shiny!

definitely reminds me of aura

its camo i guess

aw this ones cute. love seeing dwebble there

yay for unique poses! and wavey lines! and gliscor

not what i was expecting from drapion at all

not really a fan

this ones nice and raw though

not really a fan of this one either, something about how carnivine is colored throws it off..

i like the colors

interesting pattern, why is lanturn there though?

this is way nicer than mantines

i like the colors, very nice to look at

not much a fan of this style

not very good imo, but not really sure why i think that

why are we in space? is magnezone associated with space? i guess it does look like a ufo

awww the tongues are the columns!

really nice colors and pattern

i like how the pattern IS the pokemon, but like tangled up with other tangrowth

the outlines are kind of hard to see.

i much prefer this pattern to electivire, it just is nicer to me

very soft

not really a fan of this variation of the kaleidoscope pattern

very pretty

same artist as leafeons i think, still pretty

the sharks tooth pattern with gliscor is sure a choice, especially considering each of the actual gliscors is different

its better than piloswines! its nice

very very nice. ive seen many a tumblr theme use it (not my own though, not really my style.)

i wish it was more like gardevoirs style

awww this ones cute, i like the lines only style

kind of a boring pattern

the backgrounds have more love than the pokemon :sob:

very pleasing to the eye, love the colors

i hope all the lake trio follow this pattern with the flowers, it looks very nice with uxie

seems as if they do!

i wish azelf got less stock art looking poses though...

oh oh will all of the creation trio have their signature move in their art?

appears so! i like how palkia (and dialga) interact with the beams

this is more trozei / shuffle esque than anything

damn they really did continue the regi theme damn.

yay both forms of giratina! and its signature move

ohhh the colors on this are so nice and lice

the way phione gets better art than manaphy

why is this like a coloring book but manaphy is like stock art :sob:

ohhhh raw

this is so cute :sob:

of course arceus gets space themeing! very high note to end on


thats all

i wish there was unova ones but there wont ever be because the company who made pokemon shirts patterns shut down last year :sob:
