Pikachu surfing has been a running bit in Pokemon since the electric mouse rode a wave in the introduction to 1998's Pokemon Yellow, and was recently referenced again through the Sea Skim ability introduced for Pokemon Let's Go. Pokemon's mascot has never been seen riding a skateboard in the games, though soon fans of the series will possibly be able to take one with them thanks to five specialty skateboards being released by The Pokemon Company International next month.

U.S. wooden skateboard manufacturer Bear Walker will be incorporating Pokemon from the first generation into a set of limited edition decks available exclusively through PokemonCenter.com starting February 11, according to a press release on Monday. The custom 29-inch skateboards will feature Pikachu, Mewtwo, Gengar, Gyarados, and Charizard; only 150 of each will be produced.

Official pricing for the Pokemon skateboards have not been announced, but other limited edition boards listed on Bear Walker's website cost between $185 and $500. The manufacturer is also holding a raffle for a triptych featuring a map of Earth across three skateboards that interested parties can buy into for $10 until January 31, that similar to events in games like EVE Online will offer all proceeds to fire relief efforts in Australia.

The five boards being produced are part of "Series 1" in the collaboration between Bear Walker and The Pokemon Company International. No details are currently known about what future series could look like.

Each representative chosen to adorn these skateboards are a veritable who's who of famous creatures introduced in the Kanto Region; a line-up often brought in to drum up excitement from long-time Pokemon fans. They all showed up in the 2019 live-action film Detective Pikachu, and Charizard will be battling Gyarados in an upcoming episode of the anime.

Mewtwo, the only legendary in the bunch, has also seen a recent resurgence thanks to the 2019's Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution remaking the series' first film from 1998. That movie will be made available outside of Japan on Netflix in late February.

The Pokemon Company International's press release says this is "the first capsule collection of its kind for PokemonCenter.com in the U.S.," but it's certainly not the first piece of merchandise made for the insanely popular franchise. As Pokemon Sword and Shield gear up for DLC content and the subscription-based Pokemon Home, it only makes sense for the brand to keep pushing Pokemon content anywhere and everywhere it can — even in skateparks.
