Most people who are playing 'Pokemon X/Y' probably aren't old enough to use these Pokemon X Y Shot Glasses. Lee Pham of the Etsy store FanArtGlasses created these shot glasses, which feature the three starting Pokemon from the new games. These Pokemon are Fenniken, Froakie and Chespin.
While Pokemon is known as a series that is loved by children, it still has plenty of adult fans. The TV show and game burst onto the scene almost 20 years ago, and plenty of adults still line up to buy every new game that comes out. The Pokemon X Y Shot Glasses are sure to appeal to said older fans who don't mind flying their geek flag come party time. A set of three shot glasses sells for $13.
