One Pokemon GO fan has taken to social media to show off their real-life Combee purse they made using a 3D printer. The player’s design captured the attention of thousands in the Pokemon GO community, with many even speculating why developer Niantic doesn’t sell real-life items like the Combee purse.
Pokemon GO has been massively popular since its initial release back in 2016, with thousands of players joining its free-to-play mobile experience to complete their Pokedex and become Pokemon trainers. The game blends augmented reality with real-world exploration, leveraging smartphones’ features such as GPS and cameras to place virtual Pokemon in real-world locations and encourage players to explore their surroundings to catch them. Pokemon GO has had a huge impact on players and, despite its longevity, it still boasts a significant player base that constantly shares achievements, tips, asks questions, or simply shares content related to the game.

A fan known as Canary-Star shared on Reddit their impressive real-life Combee purse they made using a 3D printer. The fan admitted they were “too poor to afford it in-game,” so they decided to recreate Pokemon GO’s purse inspired by Combee, surpassing their own expectations with the design. Canary-Star also shared a photo of the inside of the purse to show how spacious it is – it can fit their keys, lip gloss, scrunchie, small wallet, and more. They also revealed they printed it in PETG, making it much more robust, and they did no sanding or painting, just printed it in the colors shown in the images. Following players’ requests, Canary-Star shared the 3D model.

The fan’s post gained quite a lot of traction, with many players praising the design and asking Canary-Star for instructions on how to make it. In addition to real-life recreations, fans also share their discoveries in the game. Earlier in April, two Pokemon GO players found the legendary Mesprit in the wild, a very rare spawn that's really difficult to find. However, players also share their failures, like missing out on catching Shiny Pokemon due to the game's capture mechanics.
In March, Pokemon GO was sold to Scopely for $3.5 billion, generating concerns among fans about how this would impact the widely popular mobile title. Pokemon GO's leadership, though, has assured players that the game will not be shutting down. On the contrary, Scopely will bring more innovative features to the title. For now, players are aware of the new Growing Up event featuring baby Pokemon starting on May 2, with a lot of bonuses, wild encounters, and more things for players to keep enjoying within the Pokemon GO world.
