Each of the three SKINS is headlined by one of the most recognizable first-partner evolutions, Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise, casting the familiar Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle lines as the anchors of the design. The Water-Type edition dives from ponds and lakes to the open sea to surface Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Goldeen, Gyarados, Lapras, and Vaporeon. Together they read as a roll call from the first generation, the roster that launched the franchise when Pokémon debuted in 1996. The collection also builds on an established partnership; Secretlab positions it as a direct expansion of its existing Pokémon Collection rather than a standalone one-off, extending a relationship the two have already been developing. The Secretlab SKINS Pokémon Pixel Art Collection joins the wider Secretlab Pokémon Collection, viewable online.
