Man, okay, so there’s this Pokemon fan, right? And they’ve whipped up this massive Poke Ball D20 thing. I’m not even a huge dice person, but this thing’s a beast. Like, if you’re into tabletop games and Pokemon, this might just be your holy grail. I’m totally sidetracked by how cool it looks, honestly.
I know games technically don’t need all those fancy accessories, but come on. Who doesn’t love showing off something shiny? There’s these gamers, right, who collect all sorts of unique dice and miniatures just to jazz things up. Some people might just grab stuff from shops, but there’s something about handmade pieces that just hits differently.
Oh, and on Reddit—of course Reddit—someone named NikoFoxey dropped a post about this “chonker” (their words, not mine) Poke Ball die. We’re talking 35mm big. I mean, picture it: clear resin, glossy finish, just begging to be shown off. You flip it around, and it’s got the classic Poke Ball look but encased in… something shiny. I’m not really following the science, but it looks rad.
So people in the comments are all, “Whoa, amazing!” and “Gorgeous!” You know, the usual internet excitement. Someone tossed out, “Hey, make a Dive Ball next!” and the artist was like, “Hmm, maybe!” So who knows what’s next? But, here’s the kicker—a Pokemon TCG player burst the bubble. Apparently, tournaments need dice with rounded corners, so this die is basically just eye candy for now. Sharp corners are a no-go. But the artist seems cool with tweaking designs for future creations.
Now, if you’re itching to get your hands on one, they’re on Etsy for $143. Yeah, not cheap, but also, can you really put a price on something this unique? I mean, sure, some people might balk at it, but collectors—that’s their bread and butter. And if you’re poking around for other Pokemon-themed dice, options exist. Eeveelutions, Gengar, Unown—you name it, someone’s probably made it.
Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh, right—dice. They’re cool, this one’s shiny, and if you’re into Pokemon, definitely worth checking out.
