Ideas OnePokemon has evolved over time, with different games, regions and Pokemon's being created for the games, as well as the consoles themselves.I wanted to create a t-shirt that represented this evolution in a similar style to Charles Darwin’s Evolution of Man.I could achieve this in two ways; Using consoles showing how the they have evolved, or using Pokemon following each other. It would be using two different ideas; the evolution of man, as well as the evolution of the game which gamers would understand.

Ideas TwoI was thinking about designing a T-shirt that represented one Pokemon that almost all true Pokemon gamers find annoying; Weedle.Weedle pops up a lot when you are first training your Pokemon and it’s a Pokemon which more trainers find annoying, pointless, and far too easy to defeat – without any real gain in EXP points for their Pokemon.I would like to create a fight scene with a Weedle, against a stronger Pokemon.I found the following slide’s screen shots from the game which I would remaster to create a the t-shirt.I wanted to caption the t-shirt with ‘Aint no body got time for that!’ which is a quote from an internet sensation called Sweet Brown, who was featured in a News Report regarding a fire. Her quote has created ‘remixes’ on Youtube.This quote also will represent a gamers desire to reach the gyms, and higher leveled Pokemon – which will gain their Pokemon more EXP points when defeated as well as the frustration that this pointless Pokemon causes.

Weedle

Ideas ThreeGamers are often criticized for ‘wasting time’ playing games. I would like to create a t-shirt that used a famous Pokemon quote from The Pokemon Television Series (1997) which true fans would understand.I would like to twist part of a quote from James, from Team Rocket, when him and Jessie realize that stealing Pikachu wasn’t worth it.I would however like to use all the gym badges from the Pokemon Leagues, from all the different versions as well, which represents someone who plays Pokemon’s loyalty in playing each game until the end.I would like to use ‘We've wasted all this time’ which came from the quote below;Jessie: If Pikachu loses this battle... James of Team Rocket: You're right! It's not worth stealing after all. We've wasted all this time. To the right is the list of the badges.

People who play Pokemon tend to be very religious in the Pokemon type that they pick at the beginning of a game.They have a choice of Pokemon from Fire, Grass or Water to play with and I wanted to create a T-shirt which featured all the Pokemon of these different types together, in a sport style.I would like to create a t-shirt which represents all the water Pokemon from the different games;Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott and Froakie which are features over each of the games.I would like to design this water Pokemon T-shirt first because I’m someone who always picks the Water type Pokemon as a starter Pokemon.I would like to follow this design with all the Pokemon from the Fire type and then all the Pokemon from the Grass type.This would create a set of T-shirts that fans could wear.

Ideas Four

Final Mood Board

I want to pursue my fourth idea as a final design using the water start Pokemon first.

I want to also use Superdry’s sporting style in my design.

I would use blues in my colour scheme to make sure that my design was in keeping with the water Pokemon loyalty theme.

Audience

My audience would have grown up with Pokemon, and therefore would be between teenage years and late twenties. The gender for Pokemon tends to be male, however it is a game that has a relative large female audience in comparison to other games. Pokemon players have an interest in gaming in general, and come from middle class background. However it is a game that has been subjected to the ‘retro cool’ culture, which has meant that the original games and consoles have become harder and more expensive to find.
