The Pokemon franchise isn’t looking to slow down any time soon. While the Pokemon anime adaptation has said goodbye to Ash Ketchum and Pikachu, the show has continued with two new trainers taking the reins in Liko and Roy. As Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the latest entries to the Nintendo Switch, it should come as no surprise that there is plenty of pocket monster fashion to find. Unfortunately, it seems that one such fashion line is set to be discontinued as the Pokemon x Original Stitch collaboration is coming to an end.
First beginning in 2019, the collaboration between the pocket monsters and the fashion producers at Original Stitch allowed Pokemon fans to blend the various types of creatures on shirts. Arriving in Japan, fans of the franchise all over the world can add the shirts to their collection before time runs out, but they only have until June 11th next month to do so. The reasoning behind why the collaboration is coming to an end is thanks to Original Stitch announcing that they will be ending operations as a whole.
