Behind the counter lined up with Poke Balls, visitors will be able to spot the Poke Ball tray and the “Chansey” that is normally in charge of healing a Trainer’s Pokemon. The computer that is typically used by players to save their game files ortransfer their Pokemonis also quietly placed to the side. And to complete the whole look and feel, ACQueen48 welcomes their guests by having theirNew Horizonsavatar wear the well-known Nurse Joy outfit.
ACQueen48’s recreation of the Pokemon Center onAnimal Crossing: New Horizonswas very well-received by fans on the Reddit threads. Some have commented that they can even hear the music associated to the center just by looking at the shared photo.
