Following the popular release of Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu custom skateboard decks by industry artisans Bear Walker earlier this year, The Pokémon Company International announced today that three new limited edition skateboard designs featuring the first partner Pokémon from Johto are now available exclusively at Pokémon Center in the United Kingdom.
Each skateboard deck features a built-in textured surface and natural wood accents that complement the bold designs of Chikorite, Cyndaquil or Totodile, which fans will remember from the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games that originally launched in 2001 in Europe. Complete with stunning backdrops to match each Pokémon’s type and limited to just 250 units of each design, the skateboard decks also come with decorative numbered cards and two display wall mounts.
“As a kid, I loved the Johto region because it expanded the world of Pokémon from the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue games and introduced so many fun and interesting Pokémon. Since Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were so important to me, I wanted to do something fresh and exciting for this collection. We’ve completely reworked the entire board, down to the shape and handles, while still keeping the focus of the design on the Pokémon themselves to shine.”
