A Pokémon player proposed to his bride with an incredible personalized card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game and a Poké Ball.
As Pokémon approaches its thirtieth anniversary, the number of people who have grown up with the franchise since birth continues to increase. This is because the original Pokémania children have grown up and now have children of their own.
There are also many Pokémon fans with disposable income, hence the increasing price of Pokémon merchandise, such as older cards. This has led to a cottage industry of fan-made products, which can be customized to the customer’s needs.
So Pokémon fans are turning to creating or purchasing their own items when it’s time to propose, with the old idea of the “ring in the Poké Ball”being particularly popular among future spouses. of the world.
A Pokémon fan proposes with a personalized card and Poké Ball
A Reddit Pokémon user named OdoWanKenobi shared the custom Poké Ball and trading card he used to propose. The Poké Ball is modeled after the Master Ball, which has a guaranteed 100% catch rate, which must have worked, since she said yes.
I asked her an important question today. She said yes. byu/OdoWanKenobi inpokemon
Other users in the thread were quick to congratulate the happy couple, appreciating the Pokémon-themed proposal method.
“My girlfriend would love this lol. All you would have to do is replace the Pokémon on the card illustration with a Bulbasaur (his) and a Charizard (mine). I love nerdy couples like that!” one fan commented. Another noted: “This is awesome! If my fiancée loved Pokémon as much as I do, I would have done the same thing!”
A hopeless romantic in the chat had an even better idea: “He should have barged in while she was in the bathroom, gotten down on one knee, flashed the ring, and shouted, ‘Toad, I choose you!'”
The Pokémon Company actually makes Pokémon-themed wedding items, but they can be extremely expensive, with many items exclusive to Japan. If you want an all-Pokémon wedding, you’ll need a Meowth and start spamming Pay Day.
So many fans have to go the personalized route, which adds an extra level of affection because it requires more thought and planning than purchasing something.
