Story
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
After defeating Marluxia, Sora meets with Naminé in a room within Castle Oblivion and she offers to reconstruct his memories. However, due to the extent of the damage, he, Donald, and Goofy would have to go into stasis within the Pods, in order to keep them safe and cared for while Naminé conducts her task.[1][2]
After defeating the Riku-Replica within the castle's Twilight Town-styled basement, Riku meets with Naminé and is shown Sora sleeping in his Pod. Naminé offers to use her powers to seal away Riku's memories, permanently locking away Ansem,[3] but Riku refuses, and instead asks her to promise to look after Sora.[4]

A Fragmentary Passage
Design
The Pods are crystalline devices. When closed, they resemble a marble structure in the shape of an unbloomed lotus flower. They open by "blooming", revealing a crystalline chamber within, covered by circuitry. The crystal is usually transparent when not in use. The interior of the pods is completely black and gives the illusion of a large, shadowy room. They can come in multiple sizes, as Donald and Goofy sleep within small Pods arranged in rows in the Basement Corridor, while Sora sleeps within a much larger Pod placed by itself in the Pod Room.
