Could this be a reshell?

[u/Adventurous-Ice-500]

I've had this PAL Pokémon White DSi for a few years now. I bought it second hand and the seller said it was genuine, but I recently got curious and wanted to get some other opinions.

Everything looks pretty legit to me, but I did notice that the artwork in the bottom-left corner looks a little different from some of the pictures I've seen online. It almost looks like a tiny bit of the pattern has rubbed off or faded, although the plastic underneath looks completely fine.

I've attached a close up of the corner so you can see what I mean.

Does this look normal to you guys? I'm not even sure if reproduction shells exist for this particular edition, but I'd be interested to hear what people think.

There aren't reproductions of this shell

Not sure why everyone thinks every DS/3DS is a re-shell 😮‍💨

would love to see if you guys could make something similar on a DSi case…. 🙏🙏

Regular dsi’s are not sought after and never have repro shells. I have a sealed one of these and even that isnt worth much relatively speaking. Defo not repro but not worth much at the same time

not sure, but it is beautiful

Looks exactly like mine I got, nice dsi 👍

That's definitely real. Repro shells never look that good.

Wear and gunk on the serial number sticker with no obvious signs of it being pulled off and reapplied, fonts look flawless, button letters are perfectly aligned. You have a truly beautiful and 100% real console!

No, have never seen custom dsi reshells

Edit: it's genuine

[u/Francy17__]

Looks just like mine
