A devoted Pokemon enthusiast recently showcased a charming and nostalgic entertainment setup they’ve assembled, featuring an impressive wall-mounted Pokemon CRT TV and a rare collectible VCR adorned with iconic designs. Adding a fun twist, the setup includes a plush Pikachu remote that truly harks back to the series’ early days. This homage to Pokemon’s roots has been met with excitement, especially from those who cherished the franchise during the ’90s and early 2000s.
As technology has evolved, so too has the way we experience Pokemon. Back in the day, fans might have visited their local video rental store to pick up the latest episode of the TV series or a beloved game. Nowadays, streaming and digital downloads do the job almost instantly. This particular setup invites fans to reminisce about those bygone days of Pokemon.
On Reddit, a user going by the handle -Rat-King- revealed their custom build, featuring an eye-catching Pokemon CRT TV wall-mounted alongside a collectible Pokemon VCR. The VCR, a rarity that often fetches high prices online, makes this setup all the more special. Painted mainly in a bright blue with a Pikachu-yellow video slot, even the buttons on this gadget are shaped like Poke Balls. Additionally, the VCR comes with an original plush Pikachu remote that allows users to control all playback functions in a delightfully tactile way.
Fans who got a glimpse of this setup couldn’t contain their excitement. The Reddit post’s comments section buzzed with enthusiasm and questions about where to find such treasures. -Rat-King- shared their secret: diligent thrift shopping both locally and when traveling. This led to discussions on how these pieces provoke nostalgia and even suggestions to add a Pikachu-themed N64 for a cohesive color scheme. Delighted by the idea, -Rat-King- admitted it was on their wishlist.
For fans who fondly recall that era of Pokemon, this setup may seem familiar for another reason. Around the same time, Blockbuster Video had kiosks that allowed Pokemon Snap players to print out the photos taken in-game, capturing a period when Pokemon was wildly popular. While not everyone has the budget for a costly collectible VCR, checking out local thrift shops might result in discovering a similar hidden gem, just like this creative fan did.
