These Animated Pokémon Homes Will Make You So, So Happy

If you're someone who played Pokémon as a kid (or continues to, because let's be real, the games are awesome), you definitely still wonder what the inside of a Pokéball must be like. While the franchise hasn't ever really discussed what it must be like to live in a Pokéball, one animator and illustrator decided to create those ideas himself.

First the illustrator, Steven Crosby — who is better known as rocketbloc™ — designed what the insides of three Pokéballs would look like for Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Then animator John Schlemmer, who is a motion designer at Google, joined in on the fun and actually gave the designs a moving element. The results are wonderful and take anyone back to their first time playing Pokémon.

The series is very popular, as it continues to bubble up on Reddit and Imgur every so often. It's hard not to imagine why — the images complete what every fan has been thinking about for so long. Enjoy the animated GIFs here, but be sure to check out the complete files with music — you won't regret it.
