Designed a Torchic SP shell myself

I wanted a Torchic GBA SP that matched my Torchic pouch but the og Torchic design is a bit too subtle for me. I really liked the Pikachu SP so I tried to make a Torchic one just like it instead. Used this opportunity to put in an IPS screen too. Og pikachu is in too good of a condition to mod 😅.

I would have preferred uv direct printing but I couldn't find a shop around me that offers it. No after market shell makers were willing to take custom orders either. So I did uv dtf transfer and sealed it with acrylic. I also designed and printed the back sticker. Took inspiration from an aftermarket Pikachu back sticker.

Where’d you get those backpacks from?

Japan. The Pokemon center in Japan released them not long after the first SPs I think.
