e's no story at all for Pokemon Box. See, Pokemon Box isn't actually a game. It's a massive storage devices that takes up an entire 59 block GCN memory card and allows you to store hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon on it. It allows you to sort through Pokemon moves, personalities, types, races, EVERYTHING.
Consider this not just a storage device then, but a Pokemon Data base where you can catch more Pokemon than you ever could put into your GBA box. However most of you probably would never need this. Most Pokemon gamers might fill up two to four boxes on their GBA. So why would they need two dozen boxes, each twice the size of the boxes you have on the GBA. Who could possibly fill up that much space with Pokemon.
Well, out of just the Kliq, Alex Williams, Misha and I could. And that's three out of about 15 people. 20%. And that was never planned. We didn't know that Misha and Williams were Lucard-lites in terms of Pokemon love. So even if we are a bizarre aberration within gaming, it still shows you a lot of people play Pokemon enough to need the PokeBox so they don’t have to discard/set free a bunch of captured Pokemon they would otherwise want.
The box is also good if you have multiple copies of Pokemon. Say one of Ruby and one of Sapphire, and a copy of PokeCol for the Cube. You can store all the Pokemon from those three games in one place, on a portable memory card. Easiest way ever to exchange Pokemon with your friends. Bring the card over to a friend's house and you can pick and choose what Pokemon best suit you and your friends needs. And once Fire Red and Leaf Green hit US shores, there will be all the more need for Pokemon Box, especially if you really and truly DO "gotta catch 'em all."
Basically Pokemon Box is just what one would think a true Pokemon fanatic need. It lets you store, examine, breed, and maintain your Pokearmy in a way that could never have been done with RGBY or GSC. For people that actually play in Pokemon tournaments like some people play in Street Fighter ones, this is truly a godsend.
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. One very big almost horrific thing that practically makes Pokemon Box worthless to its own Key Audience.
