Pokemon

When I was younger I was obsessed with Pokemon (if you know me that probably won't surprise you). I played the games, collected the playing cards and watched the cartoons. As I got older the franchise lost it's appeal but Nintendo are changing that. For the launch of the latest game, they're teaming up with Vice to host an art exhibition of cool Pokemon inspired artwork and throwing a party with DJ sets from Filthy Dukes, Friendly Fires and Real Gold. Check out the art and how to enter the competition to win a ticket to the event below.





Vice and Nintendo have commissioned seven artists to create a Pokémon inspired piece of artwork to celebrate Nintendo's newest Pokemon releases on the DS, and are holding an exhibition to showcase the works, from 24th - 31st March, at Blackall Studios. The exhibition opens with a big launch party on the 24th, full of Nintendo product for guests to demo, Pokemon inspired food, lots of booze and a stellar line-up of DJs: Filthy Dukes, Friendly Fires and Real Gold. The event will be guestlist only, attended by members of the press, select tastemakers from the Vice network, and competition winners. Go to www.viceland.com/repokemon to see the work, find out more about the campaign and enter the competition.

The link to the competition doesn't work - it just goes to the main site. Do you have another? I really really want to go.
