Despite my halfhearted efforts I succumbed to the lure of the latest Uniqlo x Pokèmon t-shirt collection . There were a couple of designs that I liked but this Japanese-style design featuring the much-maligned and lowly Magikarp really stood out for me. I like the aesthetic and the choice of color for the shirt. And oh, there's Snorlax in the frame, too!

Yeah, I probably am too old for this stuff but who can resist the utterly adorable Pikachu ? I tried to turn a blind eye on the latest Uniqlo x Pokèmon collab but obviously I failed.

Because I gotta catch them all. I'm one of the millions who's been hooked on the Pokémon Go craze. For someone who's not into games, that's highly unusual. But then I don't really consider it that much of a game to begin with. So far I haven't done any battle, never been to a gym. I just couldn't. I mean, to subject all those pocket monsters to fighting, that's just plain barbaric! Much like animals, they do have "monster rights," don't they? So despite reaching Level 24 as of this writing, I still don't have a team, although I'm kinda inclined to pick Team Instinct for the simple reason that I love Spark 's outfit. I guess I just enjoy collecting and evolving all these adorable Pokémon . But whatever your reasons for playing Pokémon Go, you know that it's very taxing on your phone's battery and power banks are a necessity. And then I saw this Pokéball power bank (Magic Ball power bank actually) from Takatack...
