While many brands have hopped onto the Pok\u00e9mon hype in the recent months (Puma<\/a> and Comme des Gar\u00e7ons<\/a>, to name a few), likely in tandem with then new game releases this November, Fragment’s relationship with the Japanese franchise has been a long and steady partnership since 2018. There’s even an official name that aptly ties the two together \u2014 the Thunderbolt Project.<\/p>\n

After flash pop-ups in Japan, Shanghai and Beijing, the Fragment x Pok\u00e9mon Thunderbolt Project is striking Taipei again via retailer INVINCIBLE. This time, with exciting teammates alongside the iconic Pikachu: the charmingly adorable Snorlax and Gen 1 starters Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. Per the collaborative project’s all-black scheme, all the Pok\u00e9mon plush charms have been drained of color but are now emblazoned with Fragment’s doubled thunderbolts.<\/p>\n

This Thunderbolt Project also offers a thick hoodie and tee in black, both embroidered with gray-scale Fragment thunderbolts on the front. The back sees a print of the five Pokemon silhouettes sat atop the bracketed phrase “THUNDERBOLT PROJECT BY FRGMT & POK\u00c9MON”. INVINCIBLE joins in on the branding galore, stamping its logo just under the phrase.<\/p>\n

This latest Thunderbolt Project will make an appearance in INVINCIBLE’s stores from 25 Nov to 11 Dec. Each mascot charm (Pikachu, Snorlax, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle) retails for NT$1,280 (~US$41).  The hoodie retails for NT$4,980 (~US$160) while the S\/S Tee is priced at NT$2,200 (~US$71). Whether an online release will follow has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
