Nope, the perennial question of humanity’s existence isn’t “are there aliens?” or “where do we come from?” It’s “what’s inside a pokéball?”
Thankfully, all you poké fans will now be able to find out courtesy of these super adorable terrariums from Rement Inc. – a Japanese toy and goods maker.
Each miniature globe features Gen 1 favourites from the Pokémon series, such as Pikachu standing happily on a tree log, and Snorlax sleeping peacefully on a bridge; definitely a subtle reference to all the times he’s blocked a passageway in Nintendo’s Gameboy version.
There’s also Bulbasaur; the ideal pocket monster to live inside a terrarium, as well as Lapras, Dragonair, and Eevee; characters we would love to keep as pets for their unique abilities.
However, like all good Pokémon merchandise, such as the exclusive Pokémon x Uniqlo collection that was launched last week, these terrariums are only available in Japan.
If you do happen to be dropping by the Land of the Rising Sun however, you’ll be able to find them at select convenience stores, supermarkets, toy stores, and grocery outlets, retailing for the price of US$7 each. They’ll be available from this month onwards.
Still not convinced that these terrariums are how Pokémon live inside their pokéballs? Well, Junichi Masuda, producer of Pokémon Sun and Moon, told Kotaku:
“I think it’s safe to say that it’s very comfortable inside a Pokéball, it’s a very comfortable environment. Maybe the equivalent of a high-end suite room in a fancy hotel.”
