Something amazing has happened. The Pokédex from my childhood dreams has been brought to life. A talented YouTuber has built the world's first Pokédex device that's powered by ChatGPT. It was created with the help of a 3D printer, a tiny camera, a combination of 3D modelling software, a speaker, and a bunch of electronic components. 

As a Pokémon fanatic and someone who has recently delved into the world of 3D printing myself, this is incredibly exciting. If you're not familiar with the Pokédex, it's a key device in both the anime series and Pokémon game franchises that records a database of every Pokémon you encounter and capture on your adventures.
