"Pokémon Junk Drawer" explores the problems of planned obsolescence in videogame hardware. Drawing from the central "catch 'em all" ethos of the iconic Pokémon Red, players embark on a quest to repair the protagonist’s old gaming console, collecting electronic "junk" along the way. "Pokémon Junk Drawer" seeks to ask: how long can the owner of a videogame enjoy their property before it dies? And, once it breaks, how far will the player have to go to sustain their former experience?
