I think this merch is pretty cool. When I went to the Pokemon Center, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more obscure or interesting merchandise like this. You can now praise helix in style.

They thought a screenshot of Pokemon 1st Gen on a black background would make an appealing shirt design? Were they on drugs?
 
The shirts being a black shirt with a screengrab from the game printed on them is pretty awful.

Not gonna lie though, I dig the hats.
 
I saw the title and was going to be upset if the merchandise didn't come to the US, but the shirts are plain stupid (seriously, just screenshots?), and while everything else is awesome, I don't wear hats and have no use for the rest. Soooo... Guess I don't have to worry about whether or not these get released here. :p

Also from what I heard the t-shirts and keychains are blind bagged so you don't get to pick which one. Ain't Pokemon without some RNG!

Pokemon is really doubling down trying to sell people on Nostalgia with this whole anniversary. It's starting to sicken me a little bit.
edit: In a good way.
