Pokemon Fan Creates Impressive Poke Ball to Hold Switch Cartridges

The iconic poke balls of the Pokemon franchise have long served as prized collectors’ pieces for fans, and one creative Nintendo Switch player has shared a look at their own unique version of a multipurpose poke ball. While there is certainly no shortage of official Pokemon merchandise, fans of the powerhouse franchise frequently share custom fan creations, earning praise from fellow community members.

Following the release of the first Pokemon video game in February 1996, the brand quickly expanded with the Pokemon trading card game in October of the same year and would later offer a variety of merchandise such as apparel, accessories, and more. Over the years, the franchise has become one of the leading names in the entertainment and gaming industries, prompting players to purchase rare collectibles and develop their own impressive creations.

Pokemon fan Nabahe602 shared a look at their incredible custom 3D-printed poke ball, which functions as a Nintendo Switch game cartridge holder. The one-of-a-kind piece features a sleek red and black design with concave sides for easy handling. A simple button on the front unlatches the poke ball, and a hinge allows the clever creation to be opened up. Inside are 25 slots for holding Nintendo Switch game cartridges and four slots to hold micro SD cards, which players often use to expand the storage space of the Switch. The innovative design took some testing to perfect, but fellow Pokemon fans were blown away by the phenomenal poke ball cartridge holder. Many complimented the eye-catching esthetics, and others voiced appreciation for the playful storage solution for the variety of Pokemon games available on the Nintendo Switch.
