Everything Wrong With Pokemon Shirts 

I feel like all of these designs would be WAY better if they were on ties instead.

As a person who's looked through these designs at least 50 times, I appreciate the review.

What we’ve learned: Lockstin really likes paisley and really hates minimalism.

Machamp: "I love how subtle it is." Me: *struggles to find the image in the art*

LOL I’m a cosmetology student and I saw that jynx shirt and I was like “cute I’d wear this to work” and then he went “i WoRk iN A sAlOn” and I was like IM A STEREOTYPE

Imagine any of these designs, as square pockets, on PLAIN TSHIRTS of a solid colour?? screams Uniqlo and I’d prefer that!

"Have you ever wanted just a bird printed on your shirt over and over again?" Sir, I have a collared dress shirt with pigeons printed all over it, and I have only ever gotten compliments. So, yes!

Me: *sees gastly / haunter / gengar* Me: omg imma go buy that Me: *remembers they cost 100/ea*

The Growlith one represents the episode where James escaped his rich boy life and his mansion with Growlith waiting for him to return

I like the ones where you can't see the Pokemon unless you squint, so I can wear it without looking like the "HEY LOOK AT MY SHIRT" type

As someone who has actually seen handmade shirts worth 100+, these aren’t it.

"looks like a shower curtain" could've easily been applicable to at least half of them tbh

"Is that Cheese from Foster's Home?" *ahhh a man of culture I see.*

You sound like someone who wants a shirt that just doesn't have pokemon on it

This video has taught me that he has no idea what business casual is.

*"Help! My Taco is on Fire! And there's a weird dog staring at me!"*

This whole video is just you trying to convince yourself that you don't need the pokemon shirt when u actually want it.

When you started to ask if you were racist for thinking the Drowzee design reminded you of Mexican restaurants, I actually paused the video to think aloud to myself "No, it actually does give off a vibe similar to patterns common in Mexican culture, and it's pretty understandable if you'd mainly see that sorta design at Mexican restaurants, depending on where you live." And then you just kept going on. About *cheap* Mexican food. And what fashion works well with *dark-skinned people.* And just repeating the word *nachos* for some reason.

As a Mexican who has helped out at a Mexican restaurant, I can say that drowsee shirt does give a Mexican vibe

Only 54 of those shirts are relevant merch now

This video was so much fun to edit. Also, I just now noticed that Farfetch'd is dabbing. How did I not see that while editing?? XD

This screams "We paid multiple artists to do these in batches and we didn't try to coordinate them at all."

Game freak: whats a gen 2? here have 3 more charizard design shirt

A lot of these would be better on more casual clothing like to shifts. They don't make sense on button ups.

Nobody: Literally nobody: Farfetch'd: *dabs*

Growlithe has a house because James has a pet Growlithe that stays at home in its own dog house (which is a mansion on its own) - Episode 45 "Holy Matrimony!"

God, half of these make my eyes bleed

The houses on growlith, raticate etc are referencing the pokemon mansion on cinnabar island

So many of these designs could’ve been improved if the designs were enlarged

Some of these would be much cooler if they weren’t on shirts

I feel like a lot of them would’ve been better if the patterns only showed up once, not repeating

Farfetch 83rd pokemon has shirt with 83s and he talks about it at 8:33.

Drinking Game!: Take a shot every time he says "Business Casual"

Dodrio was so innocent, who was cruel enough to remove the legs of this poor creature 😔

This is like mixing Cinemasins and Jello Apocalypse's 10 words or less serie I LOVE IT

You know what most of there's what most of these look good as? Funny teacher ties.

Me: Terrible shirt Lockstin: B U S I N E S S C A S U A L

I'm a little concerned by the fact that you're always mentioning how ghost-type clothes are for Halloween parties, or water-type shirts are 'great for the beach', like people can only dress based on their local climate or the time lmao.

The Farfetchd one looks like it’s dabbing

CinemaSins: _Very impressive review_ Everyone: Just do Avengers Endgame already!

I'm pretty sure the house on the Growlithe shirt is a reference to where James from Team Rocket grew up, since he had one as a kid.

No one: Not a soul: Zero People: Lockstin: *BUSINESS CASUAL*

The "whatever this is" on the Farfetch'd shirt is its Japanese name, Kamonegi.

With that Growlith pattern, I theorize it is a reference to James’ Growlith in the anime. James from team rocket comes from a wealthy family and he had a Growlith as a pet. He left it behind so it can look after his parents.

Hey dude, thanks so much for another great video. I’ve been incredibly ill lately and struggling with feeling really bummed. This video make me laugh uncontrollably for the first time in a month or so. The Ninetales bit especially. You rock, man.

I think the Growlithe one with the house was a reference to James’ Growlithe Growlie and his mansion-size doghouse in the anime

the squirtle, ditto, magikarp, snorlax and voltorb designs are my favorite. i would definitely rock those

You thought "Prison Search light" I thought Clefable was sneaking on to Dusty Rhodes's ring gear.

I need all of those. Especially squirtle I really love those designs!!! I would love them on other stuff like bags and pencil cases or something :) or even like a phone case!!!! Or even wallpapers for my computer! Later I need to check if I can find a image of the pattern for this to make my laptop background!

"I found like a hundred of them" was so seel that I don't think it's even possible to explain that Pokémon any better. That whole thing just got me and I have to write about it's awesomeness.

11:01 as a Mexican myself, I can probably see that as well.

11:22 "where are my Nachos!?... Where are my Nachos!?" I see Arlo has rubbed off on him in this one! Lol

I feel like this just isn't your aesthetic. I love all the designs 🤷 to each his own i guess

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Lockstin: EvErYtHiNg WrOnG WiTh PoKeMoN sHiRtS

really love the cinemasins format, its impressive how everyone makes better cinemasins videos than cinemasins themself

“I’m a veteran! How could you tell?” lol

also alakazam's is literally just bruno bucciarati's shirt

For me the poliwhirl and poliwrath shirts were my favorites. The swirl patters just worked really well and I like the blues. But honestly, I kinda wish they would just sell the fabrics as they are so I could use them to make something else, like a dress or bandana, maybe even combine several of them to make something unique.

no one lockstin: 12:14 SUDDEN NOSTALGIA

“diner plaid square thing” gingham. it’s called gingham

What I got from this is a he really likes paisley patterns. Lol

6:05 I love how he basically says: if someone is going to wear that in the office is the IT guy

OK BUT THE CLEFAIRY ONE IS LITERALLY SO ADORABLE

"you get stripes of swirly warturtle backs whats not to love?" Stripes.

love the detail in the video the video that you played their cries with every new shirt, good job :)

many of those patterns would look better if they were enlarged

When school dress code is a collared shirt. Time to spend the money for that Ninetails shirt

I would wear every single one of these to work. They are all perfect.

The description of the zubat shirt and the delivery of it killed me 🤣

One thing that I think makes it better is that you can put multiple patterns on a shirt to do an evolution line in one shirt.

First 30 seconds and we're already starting strong

4:57: Ironically, this one doesn't even evolve by level :P

To note, in addition to being able to mix and match the fabrics with each other and with plain fabric (so you can have a minimalist design for the body and a loud one for collars and cuffs for example), they're also made to measure. I have longer than average arm length and a slim waist, so good fitting shirts are sometimes rare.

Something you didn't mention about the Dratini shirt that I wish you did... the lines are the paths of falling raindrops! You see them splash on the top of Dratini's head! Adorable! Makes me wonder though, why weren't Dratini and Dragonair Dragon/Water instead of pure Dragon? I mean, it's not unheard of for Pokemon to switch their secondary typing for another upon evolution, there's Surskit, Skrelp, Nincada, and more!

*Me, Visibly shaking, and crying:* Gastly,,, Haunter,, Gengar,,,, i lov eyou sons but not enough for that price tag

11:10 The Hypno shirt reminds me of the Goodburger uniform

lol omg I love the parody! I thought it might be a coincidence with the title, but nah, you pulled it off well!

I think the house on the Growlith shirt was a reference to James's estate where he lived as a rich kid. In that episode we're introduced to his childhood companion "Growlie."

If I were to buy one, I’d get JigglyPuff. That’s the best one

I love the homage to Cinema Sins. And yeaaaaaa I’m going to give a hard pass on these. Mewtwo is a maybe? But as a shirt they are either to busy, or to empty imo

1:40 I almost spat my tomato soup laughing... 6:31 Lockstin, I think they are kinda illustrating the mansion James' family owned, and how his growlithe lived there... Idk, just feels like an easter egg on a shirt. :3 I still want one. I'll save up for it someday.

"HELP! MY TACO IS ON FIRE!" Lockstin,2019

That Ratata shirt is definitely in the top percent of Ratata shirts.

Damn you really hate pastels 0.0;

Aaah, I love the abstract Machamp one more than the comic-booky one that they have now. I've been catching up on this series and the plush vids and they really make me want to get more Pokémon merch. (You know, grown-up priorities. lol)

The-The house on Growlithe's shirt is the house James grew up in with his pet Growlithe... That's actually super cute

Me: I'm sad I have to cheer myself up Looks at 14:55 Me: :)

"holy shirt"

2:35 Raticate's pattern is actually based on the Toile De Jouy (most people just call it Toile) design. It was big in the 18th century, most well known for farm life scenes. It's used as wallpaper or as cushions for antique or imitation furniture, but it's not unheard of to be used in apparel. I don't know if it's worth $100 as a shirt, but a fun fact never the less.

Your description on the clefable shirt is hilarious.

3:10 Bravo, good sir. Right on the nose. 14:24 🍻

I didn’t even know these existed

Are all of the patterns on the shirt kind of "cut" to the right of the buttons? Like the pattern isn't continuous (sorry I can't explain it well)

What a weird video to be so impressed by. Genuinely funny and cool to see all the patterns. Thanks man.

Instead of "do you like tentacruel?" it should have been "do you like hentai?"

I actually really like these designs. ;w; The price hurts me though.

Your voice sounds like a younger, more optimistic version of Cecil Baldwin from Nightvale and I'm loving it.

5:33 is my favourite. I love the contrast in it, I would buy it if It wasn't so expensive

Would anyone like a seizure?😂😂😂
