However, when Japanese Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Chan79111587\">@Chan79111587<\/a> pointed out the significance of the tag\u2019s size, <strong>the official Uniqlo account revealed that this was something they\u2019d planned from the beginning, saying \u201cThe tag is designed so that it can be used as a handy <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> card organizer\u266a Give it a try!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To clarify, the tag is not itself a <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> card, and can\u2019t be used within the card game itself. However, since it\u2019s the same width as <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> card but slightly taller on one side of its top edge, it works perfectly as a divider when placed in a standing-orientation case. Since most <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> card players have more cards than the rules allow them to use in a single battle, dividers like this are an easy way to keep your primary deck\u2019s cards separate from the others. Similarly, fans who are buying two or more of the new Uniqlo shirts can use multiple tags to further subdivide their case to categorize backup cards they might want to swap into their deck between matches depending on how the day\u2019s battling pans out.<\/p>\n<p>As for the shirts themselves, they\u2019re available for online order through the Uniqlo store <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/jp\/ja\/spl\/ut-graphic-tees\/pokemon-25fw\/men\">here<\/a>, which thankfully hasn\u2019t been hit with stock-outs <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2025\/08\/14\/mcdonalds-japan-vs-pokemon-happy-meal-resellers-new-purchase-restrictions-announced\/\">like McDonald\u2019s was<\/a> for its recent <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> Happy Meals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UNIQLO_JP\/status\/1956996923623133615\">Twitter\/@UNIQLO_JP<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.esuteru.com\/archives\/10417668.html\">Hachima Kiko<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Top image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/jp\/ja\/spl\/ut-graphic-tees\/pokemon-25fw\/men\">Uniqlo<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Insert images: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/jp\/ja\/products\/E475742-000\/00?colorDisplayCode=09&amp;sizeDisplayCode=004\">Uniqlo<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re picking up one of Uniqlo\u2019s new Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card T-shirts, you\u2019re going to want to hold onto the tag.
