The “Apocalypse” has long been one of the most popular ideas for multimedia, spanning dozens of movies, games and TV shows over the years, including some bonafide classics like the Metro Trilogy, The Last of Us and State of Decay, among others.
It’s also convinced some people to begin prepping in the event that an apocalypse suddenly happens overnight, resources become scarce and humanity goes upside down. Typically, those people, often called “Doomsday Preppers,” have horded mass amounts of non-perishable food, batteries, water sanitation resources, clothes and weapons to survive the end of times.
It’s Been 25 Years Since The Best Pokemon Game Ever Took Over The World
Game Freak still hasn’t topped the brilliance of Pokemon Gold and Silver.
However, in the case of Reddit user AByteOfLogic, they’ve eschewed the typical food, clothing and weapons in favor of preserving every Pokemon known to man. It’s called the PokePak, and it’s here to make sure that you can “Catch ‘Em All” even as the world around you implodes.
Imagine A World Where Pokemon Becomes A Viable Form Of Currency, The Same Way Caps Are In Fallout
As first discovered by Fanatics on social media, someone has modified a Pelican Protective Case, something typically used to store expensive cameras or firearms, into a storage device for every Nintendo console, every copy of Pokemon, batteries and every cord needed to ensure that the spirit of catching every Pokemon lives on.
According to the user, they contacted a gun storage company with their idea and were met with a group of people who wanted to see it all the way through, even giving it the name, PokePak.
“I was ecstatic how into the idea they were,” the user wrote.
The storage locker has games dating back to Red and Blue all the way through the recently-released Legends: Z-A. There is everything from OG Game Boys to a Switch inside, along with batteries and even a solar panel.
Also included are multiple PokeBalls, and they’re not just for aesthetics. Each PokeBall has the necessary cords and cables to not only charge each device but to do Trade Evolutions as well. Even the Nintendo 64 era games, plus one-offs like Pinball are stored inside.
Those in the comment section were impressed that someone would go to such lengths to preserve the entirety of their collection and that they even have a collection as deep as that to begin with.
“I don’t need it. I don’t need it. I definitely don’t need it,” one user memed.
Moving forward, the creator plans on backing up future games on SD cards, and all of their saves are in three spots (PC, cloud and on their phone).
“The more people preserving Pokémon, the better,” they wrote in response.
Yup, I think we just met the soon-to-be most famous person during an apocalypse.
