The capacity to carry useful (or even just shiny) items in any RPG is something of a frustrating pursuit. With so many games using the representative strength of your character to decide on how much you can carry, the limits imposed on gamers can be pretty harsh.

In Pokémon, however, there's no such frustration. Instead your aspiring Trainer will be equipped with what's most likely the greatest RPG backpack of all time, lending itself to enormous item capacity. As a marker of just what this thing can do, consider the fact that it can hold a bicycle and numerous fishing rods with absolute ease, showing no signs of stress under the weight.

While third person shooters have always managed to make a full arsenal of powerful weaponry appear on a character's person at will, this act of storage savvy is simply nothing compared to the capabilities of the Pokémon Trainer's faithful backpack.
