Hey all! I've created an open-source Poketch app for the Apple Watch that attempts to emulate some of the "apps" from the original Poketch in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl!

Anti-spam measures seem to be preventing me from linking to the source code, but you can find the link in the description of the video. The idea behind this project was to recreate as many of the original Poketch's features on the Apple Watch using SwiftUI and WatchOS 8. Since this was my first Swift application, I had to learn on the fly as well as discover all of Xcode's fun little quirks like 100gb memory leaks and such. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and I've released all the source code under the MPL license!

Now that looks cool. But shouldn't the background be more grayish green as in the original games? It looks teal in the video.
I don't own an Apple Watch but if I did this'd be a fun thing to try out. Probably not something I'd use as my main watch face just because I like more functionality like seeing the weather on the watchface, but definitely a good nostalgia hit.

    Only thing a nice car will get you is a gold digger. What happened to falling in love, no matter if I'm on a bus, or driving a nice car. No offense tho, I do like nice cars.

    It would be funny to pick up a girl in a real expensive car, then next date show up in a piece o shit car just to see her reaction. If she was real, it wouldn't matter.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Everyone is disposable and replaceable, lies and deception are the coin of the realm. I have never felt so alone and so at odds with the world.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't think we should see others as disposable just if they can show any glimps of care about humanity should be forgiven

    @BigOnYa, she would leave you inmediately

    People get more mad when they learn you aren't as dimwitted as they think
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that guy who was dissappeared?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My favorite thing about that Ken, if they talk bad about others to you. They doing it to you too.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    More or less then they drop you and blame you when you find out
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Well taking responsibility for their own actions would mean doing work and self reflection lol easier to just be a pile of crap rolling down hill
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
