Numerous features of the face receive clever and adorable custom alterations. The time can be seen as a digital clock in the top left, as well as the battery percentage and step count next to a player sprite in the bottom. What's more, the watch gives the day of the week by changing Gengar's name in battle. In the video posted, for example, Gengar is seen with the name Tuesday.

Other Twitter users shared pictures of their own Pokémon-themed Apple Watch faces in the replies, with some tweaking of the original to make it even more customizable. One user, Da_NoodleButt, posted an image of their custom Pokémon face after spending nearly two hours "reverse engineering" the one from the original Tweet so that the Pokémon can be changed daily. Another user, gordonkidd164, shared their Samsung Galaxy Watch displaying a similar Pokémon battle layout and concept. However, those graphics are more in line with the Generation 5 games in the series, along with a Pikachu in-battle against what is believed to be the ancestor of Pokémon, Mew.
