4th Gen Custom Pokewalker Mods

[Yusshin]

Ooh, I do like the idea of PokeWalker modding. It's a good thing I can't afford to buy HeartGold or SoulSilver, otherwise I don't think I could control myself. ;) I'd probably be making a new mod every week! Here's the two designs I have photoshopped up so far:

Edit: I forgot to explain them! ^_^ Obviously the first design is of a Master Ball, but the M would be engraved into it, not painted on. Likewise with the GS Ball, the logo would be engraved. The GS Ball would either be achieved with lacquer-paints, followed by a heavy gloss, or a complete remake of the shell using an appropriate metal that I could copper-plate for the top half, or even gold plate! *imagination goes wild*
​

Those are really cute, Pixels. Sign me up for a GS Ball :P

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

Heh, you need a DS Lite triangular screwdriver. I need that too, I wanted to hack my Wii case, same screws. It's on the controls as well.

Painting fail :P:P

maybe painting it would need really thin paint..
bigger pic here: clicky!

and oh MY GOD

this has given me new hope

Here and here

Wow !!
Did that guy just ... he ... that are all the PokeWalker faces ?
So, practically, you need to unscrew all that thing through all the phases then put it back on ? That's would take me my entire life and I'll break it . Most definetly .
Didn't anyone think about making thin, custom stickers ? o_o I mean, buy some thin, pale stickers and cut them to suit the PokeWalker . Then Photoshop some new design, print it, stick it on the stickers and succeed ! o_O It wouldn't be THAT hard, just few extra costs .
Also Toxicroak, smexy design ! Painting looks nice overall, but I think it would get scratched ... :/

My exact plans actually, Im trying to get a glossy white spray paint to do it...

LOL its funny you say that because today im going to print this design onto one of those office stickers and see it it works...

the only problem is getting it to curve with the shape of the walker :(

if it dosent work ill do another design with only the top half and make it a heavy ball

i took some gold-stick on foil and made myself a gs ball....

 

[Heart's Soul]

I see it's not so hard to mod a Pokewalker, way easier than a Wii.

 

[Pojosama]

I don't see why someone just doesn't make one out of rubber? like the ipod skins or something

 

[chezhead]

Here in Wisconsin, when you pre-ordered the game at Wall-mart, you got a Ho-oh skin. My friend didn't pre-order it, but he just asked them for it, and it came with it. I got mine at gamestop, so none for me.

But modding the actual device sounds hard, and just not worth it. If you really wanted to disguise it, you could just put it in your pocket or get one of those skins.

 

[Toxicroak]

Okay. i made this using a few office stickers and a piece of paper

Spoiler:

the supplies

a good view of celebi

the paper the sticker was on...

Sticking a flat object on a round one has its down sides
i used 3 long stickers to try and stop the creasing but it didn't work very well..

maybe Nintendo should make like pokewalker molds out of like plastic or something, then make the stickers in the shape of the front of the pokewalker...

 

[jolteon.]

Baww. Stickers won't work.. I was hoping I could get my friend to draw me a case on sticker paper~

 

[TheAppleFreak]

Well if you can remove the front bezel, then it would be very easy to paint the specific design on without damaging the internals or messing up the screen, I think.

I'm planning on ordering a spare Pokéwalker from Nintendo's online store just for this purpose.

Baaaaaaaaaaad idea ... ):

It turned out horrible . I hope that they will release special stickers for that, but it seems like it doesn't work either ... -_O
We'll need some genius plan ...

@chezhead : I've seen these on the internet at gamefaqs.com . They had a picture, but think of it : it is a protective case made of sillicon ... sillicon can hardly be painted and it's all black or white . I have an iPod Touch sillicon case and it's just to make sure it won't slip off my hands ... so it'll be quite weird ...

We need a genius plan ... stickers cut, sillicon cut, paint cut ... what else ...

Thank you! ^_^

So you guys are thinking of new ways to mod Pokewalkers? How about creating vinyl cases? Much easier to paint, not sure how you'd go about making them however. :S

Yay first post. Just Joined.

Okay so i was bboying with my pokewalker... o_O then I slid and I was like on my pokewalker and i took out a chunk of the red paint on it so I was pretty bummed out. So i got the idea of making it into a Ultra Ball so I started to paint on it and here is my results. (Did it all in one day) View attachment 53500

I just gotta put the gloss cover so it wont scratch off =) Yee dawg!

 

[Toxicroak]

wow that looks pretty good, how did you stop the paint getting on the screen, because it looks really neat.

 

[Joboy]

I just used tape hahah. it wouldve been better if i had blue tape. im thinking about doing other pokeballs too. I just put the gloss cover and it looks much more smoother. =)

 

[Circuit]

I might customize mine. Maybe. It is possible to get the front off. You need to (I think) melt the tip of a ball point pen and put the melted tip into the screw hole. Leave it to solidify, then turn and take out. I think that's it.
