An artist online has shown off their amazing recreation of the Pokedex from the Pokemon series. The Pokedex is one of the most iconic items from the Pokemon series, having been a part of the franchise since the beginning.
The Pokemon franchise remains one of the most popular names in entertainment, and has remained so since the series debuted in the mid-90s. Many fans have a deep sense of nostalgia for the franchise, and because of this, it remains a popular subject for fan creations online. These creations range from big to small tributes, with one fan even creating a Pokemon Charizard gaming PC. The combination of the popular anime and genre-defining games has meant that the franchise has cemented its place in pop culture forever.
The recreation of the Pokedex is incredible, created from scratch using a 3D printer. The details and weathering in the paintwork give it a realistic finish, and it's clear that Redditor Not--Purple put a lot of love into the piece. The Redditor said that the Pokedex was a gift for their daughter, as they couldn't find one online for purchase. They didn't reveal how long the creation took to make. As an iconic accessory from the games, the Pokedex has been the focus of many creations in the past. One fan even turned their Nintendo DS into a Pokedex. The full Reddit post can be found here.
A subtle detail of the Pokedex is that the Pikachu card seen appears to be real rather than painted. This would be perfect for collectors of Pokemon cards, which have seen a rise in popularity in recent years due to Twitch streamers opening the packs in front of their viewers. Some of the Pokemon cards are extremely valuable, with some even worth thousands of dollars.
With the recent release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the franchise remains as relevant as ever. While many fans were unhappy with the games' technical performance and abundance of glitches, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet still smashed sales figures for the franchise, proving that the games aren't going anywhere yet. While Game Freak's next move for the franchise is currently unknown, it's never too long before a new Pokemon title is around the corner. With sales so high for the new titles, Game Freak is sure to want to get new games into production.
