The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire (Japanese: ポケモンボックス ルビー&サファイア Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire) is a Nintendo GameCube Pokémon utility. Pokémon Box itself is not so much a game as it is a storage system for Trainers' Pokémon. Trainers can store up to 1,500 Pokémon in twenty-five boxes that hold 60 Pokémon each and trade between Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as FireRed and LeafGreen. All of the Pokémon can be stored on a GameCube memory card, requiring the full 59 blocks for save data. A special edition Ruby and Sapphire Memory Card 59 is included with most versions of the game for players to use (the European version just comes with a normal memory card).
