I'm so sick of stupid comments like this.
He used black, too.

Totally forgot these existed.

The Jrs are great to mod since they are guaranteed 1-chip consoles.

Such an improvement, reminds me of the Pokedex somehow 😅

My inspiration was a Pokeball so pretty close

If I were going to do this, I would have also painted the top of the raised lettering black, so that it stands out from the red body of the console.

Still an interesting design nonetheless.

Awesome, I want to do something similar, but I am not good at soldering.

The trick is to use a quality iron and practice. You can find practice kits on alliexpress pretty cheap (tiny speakers, radios, bunch of LEDs, etc...)

And flux. Use quality flux.
