Summary
A talentedPokemonfan online has created a custom iPhone controller, which has been designed to look like the Pokedex from the anime and games. ThisPokemoncontroller can be used to play emulated versions of the games, offering a strong way to experience many of the older titles in the franchise.
Almost three decades after the series made its debut, thePokemoncommunity continues to be firmly among the most creative groups of fans on the internet. From Pokemon redesigns to custom figures and beyond, there’s always something new and impressive to take a look at from the fans. The sheer volume ofPokemonfan creations does make it harder to stand out from the crowd, and it takes something unique to gain traction in the community. OnePokemonfan even designed Vaporeon shoes, which was an interesting way to translate the franchise into their real life.
Redditor ButtonHolic shared the impressive design, which is aPokemoniPhone controller intended to look like a Pokedex. All the colors are perfect, although the buttons have been moved around to actually function as a game controller. The images of it in action show its use with aPokemonemulator, and it looks especially great when paired with a red iPhone case. For many players, using an emulator on a phone can feel a little clunky, but ButtonHolic appears to have solved this problem with their design.
Pokemon Custom Pokedex-Themed iPhone Controller
According to ButtonHolic, the device in its current state works perfectly, with no battery charging or settings required. Now thatApple officially allows game emulators on the App Store, this Pokedex controller has been designed for use with the Delta app. Delta is one of the most popular emulators on the market, so this makes sense. The creation had many in the thread wondering why this is something Nintendo hasn’t capitalized on yet, with some wanting official emulated versions of the older titles in thePokemonseries.
Pokemonfans should have a ton to look forward to over the next few years. 2025 will see the release of Generation 9’s final title,Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and a year later marks the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Current rumors are suggesting that Game Freak willmark this with the 10th Generation ofPokemongames, although this should be taken with a pinch of salt as plans can always change. Regardless, it’s clear that the powerhouse ofPokemonisn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
