In English, is it a sweater or a pullover? My mother and I didn't know.

Wow, your mother must have had a lot of work with that pullover (I think it's a classic pullover). She can knit really well and the Dialga looks perfect to me. An absolutely unique item.

Indeed a unique item, I hope it keeps you warm! I wish that there were more of those around, because it really looks like a nice sweater, and without any loud advertisements indicating it's a Pokémon item, it feels like a much "safer" cloth to wear as a Pokéfan.

Incidentally, I hadn't thought about it yet, English not being my mother language, but I suppose "pull-over" comes from English, so it's definitely an existing word.

Dude, sweet! Your mom should get an account here! I don't think we've ever had a pair of mother-child accounts on this site.

Way to go, Mika-mom!

Technically, a pullover is anything you pull over your head in order to put on (translation: if it doesn't zipper or button all the way down, it's a pullover). So, in theory, you could call a T-shirt a 'pullover', but the term is mostly used interchangeably with 'sweater'.

...is it a bad thing that I'm male and I just revealed that I know more about clothing than a female?

Certainly not. Though reviving this three-month-old thread to enlighten her about the intricacies of a T-shirt vs. a pullover just might be. ;p Kind of a late response, ne? It is a cool shirt. Dialga for the win! Anyway, I'm going to lock this, though if Mikachu Yukitatsu wants it reopened for some reason or another she's free to PM me and it shall be done.
