The simulation depicts the moon cartridge hovering over the sun cartridge, effectively depicting the total solar eclipse.
A Pokemon 3DS fan has used his love of the games console to create an engaging and clear simulation, aiming to explain the complexities of the total solar eclipse. The player shared a video showing the celestial event using Sun and Moon cartridges from the Pokemon Nintendo 3DS. The total solar eclipse will witness the moon completely blocking the light of the Sun for a short time, tracing a path known as the path of totality. Expressing concern for those unable to witness the eclipse firsthand, the user on X (formerly Twitter) shared a 14-second clip, showing a Pokemon-themed simulation of the total solar eclipse.

The solar eclipse will take place at 2:07 pm ET (21:12 IST) on April 8, and the shadow of the moon is expected to land on the Pacific coast of Mexico.
Spanning 185 kilometers wide, this year’s entire route will encompass regions home to nearly 32 million Americans, with an additional 150 million living within a 200-mile radius of the route. Those located further afield can experience a partial eclipse or choose to follow a webcast provided by US space agency NASA.
The next total solar eclipse visible from a significant portion of North America is not expected until 2044.
Although the celestial event will remain invisible to observers in India, NASA will broadcast the event live, allowing enthusiasts around the world to witness the phenomenon. NASA will begin its live stream of telescope views of the sun and coverage on NASA TV starting at 1 pm EDT (21:12 IST) on Monday, as the total eclipse crosses North America.
NASA will also hold discussions with experts and present telescope views of the eclipse from various sites along the path of the eclipse. Viewers will also have the opportunity to ask questions in the chat using the hashtag, AskNASA, for a chance to be featured live.
