Build an Apple Watch Powered Poketch
In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and subsequent modern re-releases, the player is given a computer called Poketch to help them on their journey. [DistressedOwl] decided to build one for real.
The build starts with an Apple Watch, which provides a capable smartwatch platform and a quality display. It then features a snap-on case 3D printed in PLA. [DistressedOwl] decided to use model painting techniques to give the build a worn and distressed look, befitting a watch owned by a rough pokemon trainer.
The Apple Watch runs a custom app through Test Flight that mimics the look of the Poketch in-game. It includes various screens like a base map and wistful-looking Pikachu next to a digital watch. Unfortunately, the Poketch's dowsing app will not help you find hidden objects on the ground.
This is a build that reminds us of some great Pip-Boy builds over the years. It would also make the perfect addition to a Pokemon cosplay. Don't forget to pack some Pokéballs too!
