If there is another thing that is most memorable about Nintendo’s Pokemon Sword and Shield, aside from its exclusive new Galar Pokemon, many fans would likely agree that it would be the various train stations found around the region. Not only do these stations serve as transportation hubs and supply replenishment areas, they also subtly tell players how far along the game they already are. Therefore there is no wonder that a Pokemon fan recreated an iconic train station in Sword and Shield in another Nintendo title, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Gamers and the ACNH community seem to have really taken island customization to a whole new level. Since the life sim video game was launched in 2020, fans have populated online forums and threads with their own replications of highly-recognizable locations. These recreations are also often inspired by both real-life and in-game areas. With gamers likely intertwining their fandoms in Pokemon and ACNH, there are always reproductions of well-known Pokemon spots and settings such as the Pokemon Center, the Water type-centered Cerulean City Gym, and more.
Recently, Redditor Xxtastyxx posted their recreation of the Wedgehurst Station, one of the most known locations in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Fans of the game will likely instantly recognize the train station, especially since it is the first one that they will encounter in either of the two versions of the game. What’s more, the Reddit user used a distinct wall pattern, and also put down Jail Bars pieces to help mimic and accurately replicate the glass windows found on the building’s facade.
Though the thread currently only has a few comments, fellow Pokemon fans instantly understood the artist’s reference, indicating that they recognized the Wedgehurst Station from Pokemon Sword and Shield. Unfortunately, Xxtastyxx did not outline the various furniture pieces that they used to recreate the locations, so those who may be interested in creating their own Sword and Shield train station may have to figure out how to do so on their own.
Though it does not seem like the developers will be making more story content for Pokemon Sword and Shield, the game’s community is kept alive through these kinds of content from fellow fans. What’s more, The Pokemon Company keeps engaging the fans with monthly Raids that bring back older generation Pokemon into Sword and Shield. As the title turns three in 2022, hopefully Nintendo releases official news about the next generation of Pokemon games that the company is working to bring to the market.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are available now for Nintendo Switch.
