Why Pokémon Deserves Its Own Band-aid Line

Have you ever walked through the medical supply aisle in a drug store and noticed the array of different band-aids you can buy? You’ve got the boring, plain band-aids, the SpongeBob Squarepants band-aids, and the Hello Kitty band-aids and so on. What really bothers me is that there are no Pokémon band-aids. I mean really, you’d think that if cartoon band-aids exist, there would be band-aids with Pokémon on them. Pokémon has been around since the mid to late 90’s; there have been trading cards, video games, t-shirts, hats and other memorabilia, and yet…no band-aids? I consider this an outrage. No, seriously.

Does anyone have any idea how incredible these band-aids would be? Each band-aid could be in the shape of a Pokémon. The circular ones would (obviously) be pokéballs…that, or Voltorbs. There could be different boxes with all of the generations of Pokémon, including special edition boxes that would carry all the legendary Pokémon. The saying goes that you “gotta catch ‘em all”, right? Well, with every scrape, boo-boo and ouchy received, we would get one step closer to making this a reality.

So to all the Pokémon lovers young and old, first generation and onward, I implore you; write to the makers of Band-aid and demand satisfaction! We will not wear another band-aid until our needs are met! We must have pokéballs, Pikachus and Bulbasaurs covering up every scratch on our body, and we will not cease until this day comes! Rise up Pokémon masters, and claim what’s rightfully ours! We will strive for the day when we can go to a drug store and triumphantly say, “Pokémon band-aids…I choose you!”
