Secretlab Goes Retro with Pixel Art Skins Starring the OG Kanto Starters' Final Forms

Grass, Fire, or Water — it's the choice every Pokémon fan had to make before their journey even began. Secretlab isn't offering a new answer this time. Instead, they're turning all three starter paths into chair skins, so you can relive that opening dilemma every time you sit down.

Secretlab and The Pokémon Company International are expanding their Pokémon Collection with the SKINS Pokémon Pixel Art Collection, built for the TITAN Evo gaming chair. The lineup comes in three elemental versions — Grass, Fire, and Water — fronted by Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, the final evolutions of Kanto's original three starters.

A closer look at the roster shows this is more than just a showcase for the three headline Pokémon. The Grass version brings in Venusaur, Venusaur's pre-evolutions, Caterpie, plus Bellossom and Bellsprout. The Fire version rounds up Charmander, Charmeleon, Arcanine, Rapidash, and Flareon from the Eeveelution family. The Water version has the biggest cast of all, spanning Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise before extending out to Poliwag, Psyduck, Magikarp, Lapras, and Vaporeon — practically a roll call of Water-type Pokémon from the original 1996 games.

Nothing in the design explicitly says "nostalgia," but the art style speaks for itself: every Pokémon is rendered in pixel art, while the chair's backrest features a gradient in green, orange, or blue, deepening in tone from top to bottom. It's a deliberate nod to the look of the original Game Boy games rather than a generic throwback gimmick.

Functionally, it follows the same logic as Secretlab's other SKINS releases: the covers wrap directly around the TITAN Evo, preserving the chair's original silhouette once installed. They offer 360-degree stain and dust resistance, are machine washable, and take about three minutes to put on. Switching between Grass, Fire, and Water allegiances is arguably faster here than actually picking a starter in-game.

The SKINS Pokémon Pixel Art Collection expands Secretlab's existing Pokémon Collection. Pricing and release date have not been disclosed — check Secretlab's official site for further details.
