A Pokemon TCG fan has created an incredible deck box based on the original Game Boy. The 3D-printed design is functional, cool, and the creator behind it has even shared the files so fans can print their own versions of the Pokemon TCG deck box at home.

Pokemon Trading Card Game cards are collected and played with by fans all over the world and have become a surprisingly lucrative hobby. While some fans keep their Pokemon cards tucked away safely to prevent damage and maintain value, some want to show off their collections, even if they don't actively play the game. This fan's creation would be a perfect choice for storing and showing off one's cards.

McDonald's Pokemon TCG Cards for 2024 Revealed

McDonald's and Pokemon are partnering up one more time in 2024, bringing a number of Pokemon TCG cards to stores.

Pokemon fan ShrimpRaveTidalWave shared their 3D-printed creation with fellow fans on Reddit. The Pokemon TCG deck box looks like an oversized Game Boy; a fitting choice, given the origins of the Pokemon series. The first version of the deck box looks just like an original Game Boy, complete with the gray plastic shell, red buttons, and black D-pad. A second version of it is made out of a sparkly purple, with more subdued black buttons. However, the most interesting thing about these deck boxes is that once someone has finished putting their cards inside, the card in front is displayed through the 'screen' on the Game Boy.

Pokemon Fan Shares Deckbox With Everyone

Numerous fans have been eager to share praise for the creations, and ShrimpRaveTidalWave has been kind enough to upload the files needed to print the deck box for themselves. According to the OP, the deck box can hold 60 single-sleeved cards comfortably, ensuring that the cards are protected while being stored and/or displayed. Other fans shared suggestions on how to make it even better, like including a sound chip that would play Pokemon themes when the box was opened, or expanding it to hold Magic: The Gathering Commander decks.

3D printing is becoming more popular all the time as the printers and information becomes more widely accessible. Pokemon 3D-printed fanart is a popular choice these days, with creations ranging from simple figurines to moving pieces or creative works like the OP's. While not everyone has the money or technology necessary to use a 3D printer, fans in the comments pointed out that files like the one ShrimpRaveTidalWave provided can be sent to third parties who will print and ship the product back to the originator. Those who are interested in this or any other 3D-printed creation may want to look into it.
