Custom Pokewalker Mods
 
is anyone thinging of modding their pokewalker? for example i want to mod the case of mine and turn it into a heavy ball.

anyone got ideas on how to do this and has anyone already made some sort of modification?

i dont think nintendo would allow mods yet but if they did i would so defently have duskball hehehe

Vociferocity April 4th, 2010 1:43 AM

woahhhh that is such a cool idea! I guess it depends on how hard it would be to remove/replace that front plastic bit, because if you could do that, it should be child's play to make a mold of it and make some new ones. or you could just repaint it or something, idk

i want it...

Vociferocity April 4th, 2010 1:51 AM

that's cool, but what you said in the first post - modding it to look like another type of pokeball - would be so much cooler.

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 1:53 AM

they look ayite but the green dosent look good they should have one for every type eg. Green cover grass, Blue cover water, Red for fire type dont you recken

if i find my pokewalker ill see if the front comes off...

Vociferocity April 4th, 2010 1:57 AM

is it possible to buy pokewalkers just on their own? I'd love to play around with mine to see if I can mod it, but I don't want to break it and then never be able to get another one :(

Toxicroak April 4th, 2010 2:00 AM

last time i tried to mod my tamagotchi...

i broke it...

so im re considering taking off the front

Vociferocity April 4th, 2010 2:06 AM

I found someone online talking about modding their pokewalker to make it backlit, which I assume involves taking off the front bit, so it's probably possible to do it!

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 2:08 AM

all this chit chat im thinking of modding but i was never into modding things ive never modded my 360 faceplate or anything else so this might be fun XD

i just opened it up and the screws that i assume hold on the front have a triangular shape, making it impossible to remove

ughhh that sucks. I wonder if there's a way to force it off and then just glue it back on? I'd love to get my hands on another pokwalker to muck around with, but if I can't I think I'll just leave mine alone haha

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 2:19 AM

yer its better to know wot ur doin unless like me ive got two pokewalkers but unfortiantly one is my brothers but i bought both games so yer lol

Toxicroak April 4th, 2010 2:20 AM

it would be good to drip molten plastic onto the walker to form the bumps on the heavy ball, then just paint it..

⋚Raika⋚ April 4th, 2010 2:22 AM

Heh, I had nothing better to do and fooled around in Photoshop, and came up with my own dream pokewalker design...

i just noticed 2 of the balls on the heavy ball are located where the screen is..

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 2:36 AM

looks cool i still recken modding is a great idea

Sweet Visions April 4th, 2010 2:36 AM

Anything that helps disguise the fact it's a Pokeball which prevents my friends from beating me up is cool. :D

I don't know how much I'll use it, though.

sumurai April 4th, 2010 2:48 AM

I would make mine a ultra ball ^^

Beating you up? Harsh much? I really hope that was a joke. o_O

Other than that, I agree. I'd prefer to disguise it somehow. My closest friends all know that I like Pokémon and they're cool with that. A lot of others I know like it too. But there's always a few who take it too far. I'd rather not have it come up in an argument as an insult or be mocked by everyone including people I don't know. It's not that I'm embarassed, it's just one of those things that would annoy the crap out of me.

If I customized it into a Pokéball, I'd probably pick a Level Ball. They look awesome. I'm not a fan of Great Balls, Ultra Balls or Master Balls. They're overused and I'm not too keen on the designs and colours.

Of course they wouldn't beat me up, but you know what I mean. My two closest friends know I play Pokémon too, but if people at school found out I'd probably be bullied, and I'm not bullied now and don't have any wish to have it start. But, yeah, I agree with you.

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 3:31 AM

the duskball is UU and it looks awsome and when a pokemon comes out from it one word....mad as lamfo

Sucks that people bully others over little things. But bullies are a reason to have other pokewalker designs. Because surely many fans will get bullied over it, and quite a few will probably get their pokewalker taken off them and thrown away. Because of morons.

Anyway, i think they should release skins that we can put over our pokewalkers.
