Many owners of Nintendo's newest console have taken to the recent trend of customising their joy cons to show off some of their favourite gaming franchises.
Alexander Blake - who goes by his Instagram name of cptnalex - has previously created custom Sonic Mania Joy-Cons depicting the blue blur and his fox friend Tails. Now the popular artist has delved into the world of Pokémon.
After generation one's Mew and Mewtwo were lucky enough to receive the treatment, it's now time for Johto's Gold and Silver to be brought into the spotlight. Legendaries Ho-oh and Lugia have been depicted in their relevant colors in these stunning depictions.
Lots of fans (and many NL staff) would be thrilled if Nintendo released something of this standard - especially to coincide with the release of Pokémon Gold & Silver on the 3DS Virtual Console. We can only hope Nintendo is listening.
What do you think to custom Joy-Cons? Would you like Nintendo to release something similar? Let us know.

I'm not into Pokémon so I don't care for the design but the silver and gold looks really nice.
It's a real bummer that the joy cons are too small for my hands, since there's lots of neat colours n designs like these...
Oh well, hoping there will be more designed pro controllers in the future!
@Gelantious ???? How big are your hands? Hahaha
Neat mod ruined by the addition of Pokémon silhouettes.
@DESS-M-8 Well... I liked the original xbox controllers, the ones everyone else thought was too big
Get a cramp in my thumb when I try to use the joy cons :/
These look beautiful! As someone who played a ton of Gold/Silver on the Gameboy Color, these would be a dream to have.
I do need this.
Wow...
We need some games to go with these controllers...
Why is this classified as "news?" It's a fan made paint job. The article should be classified accordingly.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE on your head it's ruined.
That's beautiful!
Those are very nice. He did great work. Could easily pass as officially Nintendo joycons
Gold and Silver are my favorite Pokémon games. If these were official I'd get them in a heartbeat.
Will Nintendo ever top Gold and Silver? I can't believe there hasn't been a pokemon game with 16 gyms since. Being able to play Kanto and Johto was the best feature there has even been in a pokemon game. Not even mentioning the amazing battle with Red.
If a Pokemon bundle is introduced with similarly designed JoyCons alongside the core RPG Pokemon on Switch, that bundle will fly off shelves.
It's Joy-Con (plural), not Joy-Cons.
THESE ARE FIRE!!!
Oh man, those look rad as heck.
These are sick! Can't wait to replay the games soon!
Th-that's... Beautiful!
Get on that custom Joy-Con service in the West, Nintendo! I would love to have designs like these.
Ugh, I thought these were official, making me think the games would make it to the Switch. TwT
Seems like the possibilities are endless with Joy-Cons.
Man, I wish I could buy these. Is anyone even selling mods like these somewhere? Would love to get my hands on them.
Nice!
Oh they are beautiful! I'd buy a pair of those in a heartbeat!
@Shade_Koopa Im the creator of these! Thanks for your support! You can follow me on instagram @CptnAlex , id be happy to make you a set!
@Gelantious seriously though? how big are your hands, or maybe you have early stages of arthritis? I'm a 6'1" 35 year old man and have no issue with them. The original xbox controller wasn't too big, it was just crap and badly shaped, more like holding a burger than a controller
@CptnAlex cool, if only I had instagram
