Pokemon is one of the Nintendo's most beloved franchises and now that we finally have smash confirmed for the switch this year all that's left is to see Pokemon make its debut on the system and Nintendo was kind of lightly talked about it before they've hinted at it saying that something's in the works but we don't have anything official there's no dates there's no titles there's no screenshots nothing so in our excitement of wanting to see this fusion of Pokemon and switch hopefully happen soon we might have made some modifications to the snapper now for those of you that don't know about this awesome piece of history right here the Pokemon snap station first came out back in 1999 as part of well advertising Pokemon snap you could find them at blockbusters here in the US in Japan they had them at this convenience store called Lawson and in Australia they had a met Toys R Us the entire idea is that when these first came out you'd actually play a little demo of Pokemon snap and take pictures or you could even bring in your own copy of Pokemon snap or Pokemon Stadium and plug it in right here once you've done that you could buy one of these little cards which would have just a one-time used credit these were not refillable which kind of made them worthless after they're used and you could use that in order to buy a set of stickers that you print out of all the pictures you took which was a little tiny postage sized things now at one point these were all recalled and shipped back out and instead of having Pokemon snap they've shaved Pokemon Stadium like this guy does right here so just having this thing around in the office is a cool piece of history but we decide to do something a little extra special with this one and also make it a switch now if you're wondering where the actual switch is hidden in this whole setup it's actually right here inside this giant pokeballs so this is actually a custom design that we got from the same person the super my Odyssey ship hat design it's got some of the same stuff going on we have a place you can dock the switch you got a little place to put an amiibo on display but on top of that there's a little added functionality because he also had a place to store to Joy cons and slot a bunch of games now to go with this dock wanted to make sure that we had joint cons to go with a switch that were on theme there's not really an official Pokemon joy con yet so we grabbed these guys from a different seller on Etsy which features an awesome Pikachu design on the front and pokeballs on the back this thing is just really awesome looking now of course it's not just as simple as we have this dock here and boom a switch works there's a lot of wiring going on back here so let's go ahead and take a look at how we cut this all to work so we have the dock itself running into an actual Nintendo dock we tried using a couple different ideas before we used an actual dock that's still the shell in place we tried a third-party dock and may have bricked one of our switches in the process but we ended up deciding that we remembered we still had that Zelda kart dock so we just opened that one up and took this guy out and have it set up back here to plug the dock into now that's running into a converter that's turning the HDMI signal into our yay so it plugs into a switcher that's now being plugged into the TV that's already a part of the pokemon snap station so we're able to switch between going with the original design or with the switch now we didn't just do this to do something insane and weird and fun although we do that a lot on this channel but there actually is a goal in mind here this is actually gonna be a gift for a certain Austin Evans who is soon going to hit three million subs and this is a star little way of celebrating it for him use a huge Pokemon fan and we just wanted to do something a little different more unique so let's trim it and see what he thinks so I know the big three million is coming up really soon and we want to give you just a little gift to celebrate mm-hmm technically this is your Snapple this is your establishing what are this you haven't seen a lady three months yeah what would you put in one of our offices and left at our own devices so we messed with it wait so it will be cleaned it out door about that later okay okay okay so you know we cleaned it up fixed it up a little bit so it's much shinier than it was you know does like one's back yeah yeah yeah don't look too much in the background and we did do one thing to it and it is still a fully functioning so I can play the game right now yeah you can do that but instead you might also want to play did you recover switch to this there may be a switch weird and the switch might be in here oh no dude that's awesome well hold on same house again so this is the original CRT yep yeah how are you getting the switch that's what's a way that is everything back here that is oh okay so that's a lot yeah that's just a few things so we've taped to the back of this guy okay : so you've got the switch in here oh you have the the joy cons that match yeah oh no we went full pokemon theme there is nothing here that's not Pokemon this is oh okay okay I'll fill it we're going from switch and down to what is this this is a USB seed doc or not you do that part that is a switch dog that is a rolls eldest which dog that we kind of forgot we had so we reopened it and put it out here okay we messed for the third party earlier another switch but that's that's a separate story entirely okay god yeah yeah so we use the inside of that that's going into a HDMI RCA converter okay just then going into the switcher box which that is the only thing that we messed with as far as like the internals of the stablishing goes yeah snap machine instead of going straight into the Samsung is now going into this switch box along with the switch this is going into the Samsung TV so I know what the last time that actually took a look at this we open it up there's a full n64 setup in here yes there is I mean we gaming yeah no that's still going on I mean you can see pokemon stadium taped to the bottom right now that's so cool and it is actually we realized that you just have a power strip set up for everything that was in there anyways so that's what the switches plugged into to so there's still only one power cable there's no other stuff going on you just plug the one power cable in and you have a fully working snap station dude and switch that is awesome so basically we can go between playing n64 games such as Pokemon Stadium or go right back to the switch yep wait so what how you it's just a switch on the back no just yeah switcher box right oh yeah it's almost like two so you mean you keep me put this against a wall and you're good to go so I think what we're about to do next is obvious safe to say I think this one over really well fans cool yeah it's so cool I relive this word out like you really have you enjoyed it looked order you see the million soon sooner with this yeah yeah guys have not like subscribe this guy yet do it cuz it's close let's go seating it okay like this close where
