Pokemon Fan Transforms Porygon Line Into Real-Life Nintendo…

Summary

A Pokemon fan created custom Wii U and Switch consoles inspired by Porygon2 and Porygon-Z.
The fan shared the step-by-step process of customizing the consoles.
The custom consoles include a Porygon2 Wii U and a Porygon-Z Switch holder with unique features.

A Pokemon fan who designed a Wii console shaped like a Porygon followed up on their previous work by customizing a Wii U to look like a Porygon2 and a Switch console inspired by Porygon-Z. The Pokemon fan posted their finished handiwork of their Porygon2 Wii U and Porygon-Z Switch, and shared the steps they took to make their custom consoles possible.

Known as the Virtual Pokemon, Porygon first appeared in Pokemon Red and Blue as a prize from Celadon City's infamous Game Corner. With a crystalline, duck-shaped body colored blue and pink, Porygon's design is among the most recognizable in the Pokemon franchise. Porygon received two evolutions, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z, in the second and fourth generations respectively. Although the Porygon line is not used often in battle, it can use the unique moves Conversion and Conversion 2 to alter its type from the standard Normal-type. The Porygon line can be found in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet after unlocking the Indigo Disk DLC.

After posting a Porygon-shaped Wii console that used 3D-printed parts, a Pokemon fan crafted two more consoles themed around Porygon's later forms. On the r/Pokemon subreddit, content creator BigRig Creates shared the successors to their previous "PorWiigon" system, dubbed the "PorWiigon U" and the "Porygon Zwitch" consoles. BigRig Creates shared the creative process in a YouTube video of how they converted a Wii U console to look like Porygon2, along with a Porygon-Z Switch holder. Like the previous PorWiigon system, the PorWiigon U required some extra electronic parts that would be put into Porygon2's pink and blue body. Porygon2's chest cavity housed the Wii U console horizontally, along with the Wii U GamePad. The Wii U was painted blue after it was taken apart.

Pokemon Fan Makes Custom Porygon2 Wii U and Porygon-Z Switch Consoles

During the customization process for the Wii U, BigRig Creates had some difficulty reassembling the troublesome Wii U GamePad after painting it pink to match Porygon2. BigRig Creates subsequently fired up Pokemon Rumble U, the only Wii U title to feature Porygon2. For the Porygon-Z Switch holder, the process was more straightforward. After 3D-printing Porygon-Z's face and body, BigRig Creates stated the Virtual Pokemon's chest would house the Switch system along with a portable USB-C dock to keep the tablet charged. Two magnetic rails along with blue Joy-Con controllers were used for its arms, and a desk clamp was added to keep Porygon-Z in place.

BigRig Creates shared footage of Porygon-Z from Pokemon Legends: Arceus in Jubilife Village to close the video. With the Switch 2 and Pokemon Legends: Z-A arriving throughout 2025, only time will tell if a new Porygon form will appear that would require another custom system from BigRig Creates.
