Fan Crafts Impressive Rug Inspired by Pokémon Blue Cartridge

Oh man, you ever just get caught up in something that you didn’t even know you loved? Like, one minute you’re scrolling through social media, and next thing you know, bam—you’re deep into this Pokemon fan art rabbit hole. So there’s this person, right? They made this handmade rug. Yeah, a rug! Not just any rug, but one that looks exactly like the Pokemon Blue game cartridge for the Game Boy. Wild, huh? I saw it on some social feed, and it just hit me—why a rug, of all things? No clue, but it just works.

And okay, here’s the deal the Pokemon world’s kind of buzzing right now. The Switch 2 has just dropped—well, not literally, that might break something—but everyone’s all hyped about it. New games are on the horizon, bringing back those Mega Evolutions, which, let’s be real, who doesn’t love them? There’s a game called Pokemon Legends: Z-A (whatever that means), set to arrive on the Switch and the new Switch 2 come October 16. Alpha Pokemon are back too, like they’re the cool kids. Man, hope they sneak in some classic Pokemon games on that Nintendo Switch Online thing. Rumors flying everywhere—people holding their breath for the next Nintendo live thingamajig to spill the beans.

Oh, and speaking of art—quick sidetrack here—there’s this magic that happens on Reddit. Some absolute legend, username princejashad or something, dropped a jaw-dropping pic of their Pokemon Blue rug. Took ’em weeks, they said. Weeks! Imagine that dedication. And it’s so detailed, like they somehow shrunk the actual game cartridge into a rug form. Some folks even joked if they could commission more. They’ve done others too, like for Mega Man and Gundam. Talk about having a niche talent!

Remember back in February? Oh boy, Pokemon Day was a ride. Tons of hints and bits about what’s next—they teased future stuff, which kinda felt like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit. There’s this update for the Pokemon TCG Pocket, something about Eevee Grove coming out June 26. And boom, big reveal! Pokemon Champions, a new battle simulator working on both phones and Switch. They’ve got rank matches and all that jazz. Just waiting on when it’ll drop.

So yeah, there’s this mad rush now, everyone’s waiting for the next Pokemon Presents stream on July 22. Feels like everyone’s got their fingers and toes crossed hoping for a peek at Gen 10. Guess we just wait and see, right? Or not—who knows if they’ll even show anything new, but you never know with these things. Anyway, there it is. Life in the Pokemon lane.
