A creative Pokemon enthusiast has come up with a brilliant mirror that mimics a Pokemon TCG card, featuring the much-loved Snorlax. Using a clever mix of frosted and reflective glass, this mirror brilliantly captures the essence of a Pokemon card—offering a reflective twist for anyone looking into it.
Despite not every Pokemon fan being into the TCG craze, the series’s long-standing presence means that even casual fans can often recognize these cards. This creation draws inspiration from a classic Gen 1 Pokemon, making it all the more memorable.
On Reddit, the user Timoo42 unveiled their Snorlax mirror project, sharing a fun selfie taken through its reflective glass. Designed as a large, vertical Pokemon card, it cleverly uses frosted glass for the card’s background. At the same time, the card’s trim and the space where a Pokemon typically appears are reflective, allowing anyone to see themselves in place of the Pokemon’s portrait. While this whimsical idea would work with any Pokemon, Snorlax lends an extra layer of hilarity to the mix.
The Snorlax mirror has drawn delighted reactions from the community, with many expressing interest in having one. Some commenters playfully remarked about Timoo42’s fun personality, inferred from both the unique card concept and their joyful expression in the shared photo. For Timoo42, Snorlax isn’t just a Pokemon; it’s a spirit animal. While fans might delight in seeing themselves as a favorite powerhouse monster, there’s undeniable humor in stepping into the shoes of the famously sleepy Snorlax.
In a world with over a thousand Pokemon and counting, each fan inevitably finds a personal favorite to celebrate in unique ways. Snorlax remains the iconic Gen 1 sleepyhead, but it will be fascinating to see if future Pokemon with “quirky” traits rise to similar fame. Meanwhile, Snorlax continues to enjoy its spotlight, and with the return of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the future looks bright for this beloved, somnolent giant.
