Campaign models Monica Sahara, Risa Nakamura, and Tomoco Nozaki are also shown wearing a Pikachu Nuigurumi bra set in the campaign photos but it isn't for sale.

Thank god, there's just something wrong about those things, like making lingerie out of shrunken skulls or something.

Don't forget the real reason we have these, is becoming some perverted Japanese exec thought this was a good idea Wink

OK Japan, that's enough.

But seriously, I have no problem with Pokemon lingerie but these designs are really bad overall. The shorts are alright but pretty much everything else is the exact opposite of cute/sexy.

This just reminds me that Oh Pantaku Boy! was a real thing, and that this is hardly the first time someone thought combining pokemon with panties was a good idea. Laughing

The caaaaape... so cute!
The shorts look okay in the first picture, but stupid on the model. The pom-poms look tacky.

... I don't think there's anything wrong with making cute things into cute underwear. Underwear isn't just to be seen... it's also meant to be worn. Under things. The elusive wear-under function of underwear. Who would have thought?

Is it just me or am I beginning to question the sanity of some people in Japan. I can see to a certain extant Pikachu sleepwear but Pikachu lingerie? I'm beginning to have grave concerns for the sanity of some in Japan who thought that this was a good idea.

Pikachu print lingerie isn't too big of a surprise for me, considering any long-running children's franchise with adult fans stands a good chance of adult-themed merchandise somewhere along the way, but that last one there, with the plush Pikachu heads coming out of it...that's just plain bizarre. And kind of shoehorned. It's like Pokémon has a team of dedicated plush designers, and they needed something to do.

The one that looks like they had a million pikachu plushies in a warehouse and someone said, "we have to find some way of using these" is pretty lame but the others are straight enough.
