Pokemon Releases Cute Nail Polish Collection

Pokemon might have started on the Nintendo Gameboy with Pokemon Red and Blue, but the series which currently has hundreds of pocket monsters at its beck and call has expanded its reach over the decades. With Pokemon like Pikachu, Charizard, and too many others to count appearing on countless pieces of merchandise, it seems that now is the time for the long-running popular anime franchise to venture into wild territory once again via a new nail polish line hitting Japan next month.   

The new line of nail polish is set to be released by the company known as Uka, arriving in their stores this May with different vials featuring styles to highlight six different Pokemon. The line-up itself will see nail polish arrive that features an aesthetic based on the likes of Pikachu, Eevee, Meowth, Piplup, Jigglypuff, and Scorbunny to name a few, with each of these collaborations retailing for around $21 USD. With Pokemon finding its way onto countless articles of clothing with unique fashion lines and even receiving its own make-up in the past, who knows where the series that introduced Ash Ketchum and company will go next.

Uka released a first look at the Pokemon nail polish line, which will be available in their stores beginning on May 13th, though a North American release has yet to be confirmed:

In the world of Ash Ketchum, Pokemon Journeys has seen the young trainer traveling the world with his new friend Goh, as the two attempt to achieve their dreams of capturing stronger pocket monsters while also defeating the trainers of the Galar region. With the anime recently celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, Ash has been the protagonist for quite some time, while simultaneously remaining eternally young. While far from confirmed at this point, Ketchum handing off the reins of the anime series to a new protagonist, or perhaps event o Goh, might give the anime series a boost when it comes to exploring new territory.
