Secretlab is expanding its Pokémon collection with three new additions to its SKINS range. Building upon the existing collection of officially licensed Secretlab Titan Evo designs that pay homage to Pikachu, Eevee, and Gengar, any Titan Evo owner will now be able to adorn their gaming chair with classic Kanto region Pokémon.
The new skins are in tribute to the final evolution of the starter Pokémon from FireRed and other Kanto region games. For me, I'd need to stay loyal to my boy Charizard, but you can also choose Blastoise or Venusaur. While the new SKINS are definitely celebrations of these Pokémon, they really give the vibe of Fire, Leaf, and Water thanks to some really well-made colors woven into the fabrics.
What's maybe more impressive is that Secretlab has managed to texture the new SKINS so they have the scratchy feel of classic Pokémon pixelated graphics. The colors are also super vibrant, which emphasises their texture really clearly from a distance.
The fire type looks like it's covered in simmering embers, whereas the blue tones of the Blastoise variant mimic the depths of water. The gradient of greens on the Venasaur version is oddly calming - Secretlab has clearly put a lot of effort into these designs because they contrast the fluffier texture of the original Pokémon collection really well.
As a reminder, Secretlab SKINS are exactly what they sound like. You won't actually be able to buy these designs on a dedicated version of the Secretlab Titan Evo, but you can buy them separately for $99 each and throw them on any model of that chair to give it a renewed look.
Just in case you want more Pokémon for your money with these designs, Secretlab has dotted the shoulder frames of the SKINS with other fire, leaf, and water-type characters. On the Green model, you can see Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Oddish, and Bellsprout. On the blue, you can see Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Goldeen, Gyarados, Lapras, and Vaporeon. And finally, on the Charizard (GOAT) model, you can see Charmander, Charmeleon, Arcanine, Rapidash, Flareon, and more.
The perk of being able to pick a new detachable colorway is one of the many reasons I deem the Secretlab Titan Evo the best gaming chair for upgrading. The Secretlab Atlas recently stole our award for the best Secretlab chair, but the Titan Evo has been such a staple of the market for so long that its maker has produced all sorts of upgrades for it to help make it your own. Hardly any other chairs have that ability, so it's a big reason the Titan Evo still stands out.
Beyond cosmetics, you can also attach new armrest tops, recliner add-ons, lumbar cushions, and more. Is the Titan Evo the most affordable seat on the shelves? Definitely not, and its upgrades will be an even longer-term investment, but its build quality helps it feel like such. Thankfully, SKINS will mean that if you fancy a new, classier, or even more flashy look, you can keep it fresh as the years go on.
