I agree they're awesome and the day they leak out will be like an early Christmas even if it's several years from now and even if they aren't 100% complete.
Instead of grayscale, you could use the Pokemon Yellow style, which every town/area has a base color! It shoud be fairly simple to implement and give it a little more atmosphere :) Great work! I hope to be able to play this one day
red blue and green actually has color, but not like you expect. its like one color across the whole screen and usually changes on the different routes and cities
This is so cool! I wish the Pokemon Company would make a game like this! Bring back the animated sprites, put various regions in it.. it would be so good!
@@Whizify if he doesn't release it's fine, if he only gives it to UA-camrs or streamers it's not like Nintendo can take it down if its not even publicly available
@@blindmown yea true they will also say we have 3d pokemon in nintendo switch but would be cool if there were laws like you release it for free by taging original company who made those games and they would be unable to sue you but the world we live in sucks and kills any creativity to be published
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 It all is IP to IP based. Companies like Nintendo, Disney, etc. are famously known for nuking any fan projects, plenty of companies allow it if they either get (at least majority) profit or if the project makes not even a penny. There are some that are much more relaxed like with the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise which has a huge following of talented individuals making games that even have some of the core characters from the original IP. Some companies go on red alert straight away, others even buy the work out and incorporate those involved to make it official, it's a spectrum. The only way he could share the project would be with personal friends, as to the point where there's like 10 copies in existence, to a point in which they never garner the attention of the company as a threat.
@@TheMultiversalDip exactly those companies are so dirty rich they dont care at this point if you publish it for free and will nuke you worst is nintendo that bowser sold hacked switches not all switches were used to play hacked content for example some were used to dump your own switch games and stuff to play on your pc or phones yuzu for example have a big discord community etc yet nintendo wants to fuck both bowser or anyone whos hacking a switch and obliterate anyone making emulator for switch just horrible team like you said some teams are more open for ppls porting stuff or using their creativity this is the world we should work for
Asking to heal at the door of the PC, actually quality of life improvement. This is amazing! really impressed you could do this in such a short amount of time :)
Using 2d sprites for the battles was definitely the right choice. With the slight squashing+stretching and the rotating camera, it looks really fantastic.
2:03 Seeing you duplicate these makes me wonder if tilemaps would be a better option. Maybe consider trying them out in a future project? They work in 3D, the YT channel Vector Bread has a tutorial on it. 3:50 Tilemaps would help out here too, since you'd just paint the appropriate tiles for terrain Great video as always and the game looks fun to play! It's seriously visible how much you've improved in the last year!
A. Why am I only now finding out about this? B. Where is the download for this incredible work? C. Who's going to finish this masterpiece so I can enjoy the full OG experience in 3D?
Nintendo would nuke him if he released it, they already did such with Pokemon Uranium. Considering the copyright for the original Pokemon Red & Green content doesn't come out into Public Domain until 2065, and even then it'll only be them. It's similar to the Disney and Mickey Mouse situation, where the original versions will enter public domain after a while, but until then it's a no go for anyone.
@@cooley_3807 Nintendo, much like many companies is overprotective of their brand, IP, etc. only a few companies allow such things and most of the time the project will be forced to shut down or face the law, even if you don't make money off it, it can lead to income through indirect sources or hurt the original creators images in some way, this is why you don't see all big fangames of Pokemon, with people having to make games that aren't Pokemon, but take the basic idea of Pokemon. You could release it as a game in this style similar to Pokemon, but it can't use official Pokemon things.
honestly, the way you handled the sprite battles seems like the best possible solution not just in saving yourself a TON of time/effort but also in style. The sprites are really iconic and I think the 3d voxel effect works really well in the more chibi representative style of the overworld, but the more realistic/representative battle sprites I just don't think would have looked good in voxels, even if you were really skilled at it. and the little paper mario flip while the camera pans around, SO cool!!
3:50 I HIGHLY recommend you look into Terrain objects. They're basically flat plains that you can paint details into (textures, elevation, holes, etc). Pretty sure you can even paint objects on them, such as trees. Probuilder is great, but I think you should use that for objects and Terrains for, well, terrain. P.S: Sorry if there are other longer comments from me with this information. On my end, it looks like my comment keeps getting deleted. I think it's because I tried to provide a link to Unity Learn? Apologies for any spam and the lack of a link.
Would terrains allow you to get tile-perfect textures and slopes, though? They’re kind of designed to blend textures and have smooth terrain for more realistic-looking games, last I looked.
@@Tustin2121 That’s a good question. And to be honest, I’d need to look at terrains more to be sure. For textures, you could probably use a square brush to give off that feel, though I’m not sure how grid-like that can look without some sort of snapping or guideline to reference. As for elevated terrain, I think the biggest issue would indeed be the slopes. But I still think it would be better to use terrain as a base and then use probuilder objects as needed for slopes. Edit: I went into Unity to poke around with terrain. I thought using a square brush and turning down softness would allow for hard edges. Turns out I was wrong.
Would love to see a complete remake of this, every pokemon, every attack, all buildings accesible. I know that it would take such a long time but it would be really cool to see.
Sheesh, I didn't even realize this was a year old until after I finished watching. Definitely hope to see a part 2 eventually! And it'd be a damn shame if this somehow leaked onto the internet where someone else might download it. A damn shame, I tell ya
The coolest part of this was being able to see the tall buildings of different cities from a far distance. Remember how at the end/start of an episode Ash,Brock and misty would see a new city in the distance and excitingly run towards it? It’s a emersion feature from the anime I never realized I missed from the games until I saw your vid. So neat!
If a single person can already make a Pokemon fan game at this scale and level, imagine what can a whole team can do! Dang! This is what I call a "loyal" remake to the OG games!
there was a game called pokemon vr but the group that was hosting it wanted to make money so the ditched pokemon and made their own creatures i was heartbroken to see it go bc it was amazing to see them all in vr. I now play pixelmon on my minecraft and thats is super satisfying riding a charizard through the air or on the back of a venusaur. also playable in vr
would have preferred this one-man-work which looks absolutly stunning and keeps the retro charm over the cheap ass mobile graphics remake of diamond pearl that the multi billion pokemon company put out last november

i'd play the shit out of this. something really charming about the original GEN 1. i love the remakes but this looks amazing, 3d seems to give it a completely new gameplay style
@@captainswashbuckle5143 Wait! They are definitely NOT stumps. they appeared grey and white in gen 2. I knew there was something wrong with this reading!
This looks so cool. The battles with the flat pokemon actually looked better than I expected it to, because you don't lose the magic of the original sprites.
It's the kind of thing that makes you realize why, when releasing on a yearly cycle, game freak does not add those "little touches" like giving every Pokemon unique animations for every attack. It's simply too much work in too little time.
Just notice this now and gotta say this looks dope and loved how you replace stuff like the cilindre “tooth” wall alike with trees and even the battle with all Pokémon’s going around has an desguise method to not giving much 2D paper Mario style was kinda nice😮
I just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite creators, and that you really inspire me to get in to game design. Thanks so much for making amazing videos!
Honestly if this was a separate game with unique sprites and new pokemon, it would be ridiculously cool. I love the 3d world and the 2d sprites with the dynamic camera during battles
Would LOVE to see part 2 for this! Maybe you can include Red in the battle scene and include some environmental details to spruce it a little? Maybe as simple as those scattered grass tilesets from the overworld on the ground could help.
The interiors could be another part of the map that it's isolated from the rest of the world, like the Ghost Town of Grand Theft Auto 3, and surrounded with black walls like what you would see in Pokemon when you are in an interior and watch what is around the walls of any room. The doors and stairs would act as a teleporter to get to the corresponding interior.
This is really cool! The only thing I’d recommend is to try and fill in the areas between the parts of the maps, even if it’s just all trees, it will add to the feeling of being able to see other cities in the distance. Also i think the mountains would look cool coming op over the trees
This looks amazing, and I actually loved that first attempt at Bulbasaur, the old games looked hideous, and we love them. Don't sell yourself short for not being perfect enough.
It would be insane if he did this for Gold/Sliver, I can imagine how legendary MT.Sliver could look like in a full 3D space. Loved it can’t wait to see the rest of the game and it would be dope if there could be a way to play it like through patrons. (even thought thats probably a stretch)
I can't even begin to express how beautiful I think this is. I have never considered something like this being possible and to see it in action is so impressive. You do some incredible work and your talent and practice definitely shine through with this. Please never stop creating content like this, let's get you to 500k!!
Fun Fact! If you play Pokémon Red or Blue (Or any original Gameboy game for that matter!) on a Gameboy color, you can change the color pallet by pressing the directional buttons on the opening "Gameboy color" screen! You can also press the buttons in combination with A, B, Start and Select for ever more color options! Kinda like how you changed the color pallet!
Another fun fact is that if you play Pokemon Yellow on Gameboy Color the game actually has color. It isn't color like a normal GBC game but every town has a different color palette that matches the name of the town (Viridian, Pewter, Cerulean, etc...). The downside is that on the original Gameboy you could turn up the contrast while in Rock Tunnel and you would be able to see (barely) even without using Flash, on a Gameboy Color it is not possible to see in Rock Tunnel unless you have Flash.
@@WichidNixin If you play any of the games on the super game boy you get color palletes that change as you explore through the game, and each pokemon has a unique pallet.
3:38 You could try to procedurally create grass object (or place the existing ones) by the colour of those tiles. Since you are working on grey scale it should be easier as well.
GOD HOW I WISHED THIS OR ANY PROPGRAMMER would make a HunterxHunter Game or at least a Mod for other games to use the Power-System hailed as the best Powersystem/Magic-System in all of Fiction ever: Nen! Slime-Tensei-Mods exist for Minecraft, but the best Power-System in all of Manga or even all of Fiction has only Rip-Off-Levels when it comes to Games and thier Quality, if you get what i mean. One could really make a lot, lot, lot of Money with this, cause so many would love to play with HxH and/or Nen.
This is amazing. Something that your shaders could benefit from is visual hierarchy. Meaning that you can dim down the colors of your tiles depending on how important they are to the navigation. The trees could be dimmed down a lot and not use black in them, but lighter gray tones so that they are not as visually overwhelming. Same for the water and the rocks on the cliff. If you start making a system of rules of how "important" each element is for the overall view or navigation, you can end up with a much better looking environment. The main character can be the one that has the most contrasting elements. And maybe the outline and doors of the houses and buildings could be on the same level. The walls and windows could be dimmed down a little bit. The grass can be at a very low level. Just opaque or contrasting enough so that it adds texture and you see that it's there if you pay attention, but that otherwise it just becomes part of the background and doesn't distract you from the actual game navigation. Basically using the principles of "value" in paintings.
That’s it… I love this idea so much this seriously has the potential to be a fat “rom hack” I know it’s not a rom but still if you got other people to help in the areas you struggled in and recreated the whole red/blue game it would be one of the best “remakes” ever
I came here to say how much I loved these. If he hadn't told us how much he struggled with making them 3D I'd have just thought this was a stylistic choice
5:20 is the perfect way to demonstrate 2D vs 3D, 3D vs 4D. How extra dimensions literally open up new planes of reality for one to traverse. This is such a hard thing to demonstrate, but you did it perfectly without even trying!
@Mario a good way to think of the Dimensions is as follows: 0D = Point(s) 1D = Length, a line, X 2D = Width, lines converging at point(s), Y 3D = Depth, Z 4D = Tesseract, Trength (theoretical, unperceivable to our eyes), W This is an over simplification but a solid way to visualize it.
I absolutely love this series. Seeing these old school games get made into 3D and seeing your code work flow is an absolute treat. Please keep this series going!!!!
This is one of the coolest projects done with Unity I've ever seen. I'd love to see this become a true 1-to-1 replica of Red and Blue, with all Pokemon and Moves. Way to go!
Not gonna lie, yours and Reubs' videos of remaking old (and sometimes fairly recent) games in Unity and Unreal is really inspiring me to try these challenges. Not so much reinventing it in 3D or anything, but just trying to make a whole game without having to worry too much about the actual design aspects.
you know what would be cool, if if the floor of the "battle arena changed depending on who you fought, like there could be 4 (tecnicaly 5 if you include trainers in the next part) floors that it would transition too, one srounded by trees and has grass, one that is srounded by mountains and has a rocky floor, one that's the sea with the little dock board walk, and like a wooden floor with the arena patten on it (you know this > [-{0}-] ) for the gym leaders
This is sick, you should make a vid where u add the rest of the pokes, more moves and the elite four! Also is there a proper levelling system? I think everything is just level 50 if you can you should add normal pokemon levels and the XP system! Amazing video hope we see more of this!
Awesome work, congratulations and thanks for sharing! Now here is a thing: I honestly feel a 2D Ash would look better in a 3D overworld, much like how you did the 2D Pokémon in battle.
Amazing recreation. Pokémon blue was my first game I played, ever. I’m not a huge fan of the franchise now but this triggers all the right nostalgia buttons. The sprites were literally part of the charm. I don’t care for newer graphics or whatever
Same here, i watched the first four episode of pokemon kanto on television and got a commercial for pokemon blue so i run towards the local gamestore and played the heck out off pokemon blue...the memories and nosta i will never forget.
Blame the law, and the fact fighting a good legal battle is expensive. The law means he can't get you to pay for it, so he'd lose money anyways, and the law with copyright is so old that it doesn't adjust for modern times
@@illford yeah but he still sends it out to streamers, which would still be seen as distribution by the law. So its very flawed logic and makes these videos pointless in a way. Since you'll never see the fully finished product.
In 50 years, Cody will run the world after remaking Sword and Shield in real life. "Sir, the rebels are revolting." "Wailord, Go! Use Body Slam!" Screaming fills the air and he smiles.
Looks awesome!!! Would love to see a part 2 ^^ I know its A LOT of work but maybe consider the option to switch between greyscale and full colored if you plan on continuing this project could be awesome in my opinion. anyways incredible job as always man and cant wait to see youre future projects 😁

This was absolutely 100% worth the wait. This is incredible, thank you!!
This kind if videos make me realize how much of an effort creating a game really requires, respect. 10/10
Also merry Christmas 🤶
It's the kind of thing that makes you realize why, when releasing on a yearly cycle, game freak does not add those "little touches" like giving every Pokemon unique animations for every attack. It's simply too much work in too little time.
Just notice this now and gotta say this looks dope and loved how you replace stuff like the cilindre “tooth” wall alike with trees and even the battle with all Pokémon’s going around has an desguise method to not giving much 2D paper Mario style was kinda nice😮
I just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite creators, and that you really inspire me to get in to game design. Thanks so much for making amazing videos!
I agree
I agree too
this is like those TF2 pokemon maps but a whole game
Hi Ducksen
@@stacksopaper hi
What is a TF2 map?
@@PlasticBag690 A map for the game Team Fortress 2
TF2 is my fav game but i did not notice how close this looks to those you are so right
Absolutely insane.
Funny thing, this is exactly how i imagined it as a kid. Sometimes imagination is better than the best graphics.
Scary to imagine the amount of time spent, but respect for the remake of Pokemon (ne of my favorite universes)
Same here
This is so cool! Thank you for making videos like this!!

Honestly if this was a separate game with unique sprites and new pokemon, it would be ridiculously cool. I love the 3d world and the 2d sprites with the dynamic camera during battles
Would LOVE to see part 2 for this! Maybe you can include Red in the battle scene and include some environmental details to spruce it a little? Maybe as simple as those scattered grass tilesets from the overworld on the ground could help.
I'd love a part two to see a completed game! Building interiors would be crazy hard to make look good!
The interiors could be another part of the map that it's isolated from the rest of the world, like the Ghost Town of Grand Theft Auto 3, and surrounded with black walls like what you would see in Pokemon when you are in an interior and watch what is around the walls of any room. The doors and stairs would act as a teleporter to get to the corresponding interior.
Seconded
@@Adri9570 you could just hide it under the floor. It's not like players need to go down there anyways.
And AWESOME

This is amazing!!! The sheer amount of nostalgia from this was blessed
This is really cool! The only thing I’d recommend is to try and fill in the areas between the parts of the maps, even if it’s just all trees, it will add to the feeling of being able to see other cities in the distance. Also i think the mountains would look cool coming op over the trees
Dude, you put so much effort into that overworld. I’d love to 3D print it.
me too man
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO Ratio + L. Screw off.
this is so dope
oh hello
This looks amazing, and I actually loved that first attempt at Bulbasaur, the old games looked hideous, and we love them. Don't sell yourself short for not being perfect enough.
It would be insane if he did this for Gold/Sliver, I can imagine how legendary MT.Sliver could look like in a full 3D space. Loved it can’t wait to see the rest of the game and it would be dope if there could be a way to play it like through patrons. (even thought thats probably a stretch)
Heart Gold Soul Silver already did it
There is a first person hack of the OG gold and silver that this reminded me of
I can't even begin to express how beautiful I think this is. I have never considered something like this being possible and to see it in action is so impressive. You do some incredible work and your talent and practice definitely shine through with this. Please never stop creating content like this, let's get you to 500k!!
1:35 right there on the map. It’s Mew!
Fun Fact! If you play Pokémon Red or Blue (Or any original Gameboy game for that matter!) on a Gameboy color, you can change the color pallet by pressing the directional buttons on the opening "Gameboy color" screen! You can also press the buttons in combination with A, B, Start and Select for ever more color options! Kinda like how you changed the color pallet!
Another fun fact is that if you play Pokemon Yellow on Gameboy Color the game actually has color. It isn't color like a normal GBC game but every town has a different color palette that matches the name of the town (Viridian, Pewter, Cerulean, etc...). The downside is that on the original Gameboy you could turn up the contrast while in Rock Tunnel and you would be able to see (barely) even without using Flash, on a Gameboy Color it is not possible to see in Rock Tunnel unless you have Flash.
@@WichidNixin If you play any of the games on the super game boy you get color palletes that change as you explore through the game, and each pokemon has a unique pallet.
I would definitely love a part two for this project! Having the entirety of Gen 1’s original sprites remade into 3D would be absolutely amazing!
3:38 You could try to procedurally create grass object (or place the existing ones) by the colour of those tiles. Since you are working on grey scale it should be easier as well.
GOD HOW I WISHED THIS OR ANY PROPGRAMMER
would make a HunterxHunter Game or at least a Mod for other games to use the Power-System hailed as the best Powersystem/Magic-System in all of Fiction ever:
Nen!
Slime-Tensei-Mods exist for Minecraft, but the best Power-System in all of Manga or even all of Fiction has only Rip-Off-Levels when it comes to Games and thier Quality, if you get what i mean.
One could really make a lot, lot, lot of Money with this, cause so many would love to play with HxH and/or Nen.
This is amazing. Something that your shaders could benefit from is visual hierarchy. Meaning that you can dim down the colors of your tiles depending on how important they are to the navigation. The trees could be dimmed down a lot and not use black in them, but lighter gray tones so that they are not as visually overwhelming. Same for the water and the rocks on the cliff. If you start making a system of rules of how "important" each element is for the overall view or navigation, you can end up with a much better looking environment.
The main character can be the one that has the most contrasting elements. And maybe the outline and doors of the houses and buildings could be on the same level. The walls and windows could be dimmed down a little bit. The grass can be at a very low level. Just opaque or contrasting enough so that it adds texture and you see that it's there if you pay attention, but that otherwise it just becomes part of the background and doesn't distract you from the actual game navigation.
Basically using the principles of "value" in paintings.
The Pokémon battles look really good and it’s a good, creative way to get around limitations. Good job!
Yes
This is the coolest Pokémon related thing I may have ever seen … it’s staggering the amount of work you put into this …
yes but one cannot play it so f this.
wait until you see the dude building a cable that allows you to trade pokemon between Gen 1 and 2 and Gen 3.
This looks like a ton of fun. The full combat system sounds like the most trouble.
Dude….way impressive, this is genuinely one of the coolest revamps that I have ever seen, this 3d version slaaaaapsss bro.
That’s it… I love this idea so much this seriously has the potential to be a fat “rom hack” I know it’s not a rom but still if you got other people to help in the areas you struggled in and recreated the whole red/blue game it would be one of the best “remakes” ever
Definitely, it would be interesting to have an actual inside of a gym and pokemon center/mart
I'd definitely buy it.
THIS! 💯 make it happen! Can we do a kickstarter or something?
The most impressive part of this is how much respect you've shown for the original art direction.
The Pokemon battle simulation you made with the 3D camera and Paper Mario style "flips" brought me immense joy and a massive smile on my face
I came here to say how much I loved these. If he hadn't told us how much he struggled with making them 3D I'd have just thought this was a stylistic choice
This is such an incredible passion project! Great effort! :D
5:20 is the perfect way to demonstrate 2D vs 3D, 3D vs 4D. How extra dimensions literally open up new planes of reality for one to traverse. This is such a hard thing to demonstrate, but you did it perfectly without even trying!
@Mario a line
@Mario a good way to think of the Dimensions is as follows:
0D = Point(s)
1D = Length, a line, X
2D = Width, lines converging at point(s), Y
3D = Depth, Z
4D = Tesseract, Trength (theoretical, unperceivable to our eyes), W
This is an over simplification but a solid way to visualize it.
I absolutely love this series. Seeing these old school games get made into 3D and seeing your code work flow is an absolute treat. Please keep this series going!!!!
The day he finally puts his game remakes out for download i will finally achieve max happiness
This is one of the coolest projects done with Unity I've ever seen. I'd love to see this become a true 1-to-1 replica of Red and Blue, with all Pokemon and Moves. Way to go!
The Monochrome Colour Selection was the best decision you could've ever made! LOVE IT its sooo reminiscent of the original games!
Not gonna lie, yours and Reubs' videos of remaking old (and sometimes fairly recent) games in Unity and Unreal is really inspiring me to try these challenges. Not so much reinventing it in 3D or anything, but just trying to make a whole game without having to worry too much about the actual design aspects.
While true, it's also VERY frustrating that you don't get to share the fruits of your labour due to copyright, so be careful with that path 😅
You could just distribute without much fanfare. Like you’d only post the link here or on the dark web or something.
@@iantaakalla8180 Sure, always ways to do it, but then you can't put your name on it or face consequences, etc. It's just far from ideal.
This is great! Do a part 2, because these projects take time to really finish up.
I love Pokémon games because of how relaxing and laid back they were
you know what would be cool, if if the floor of the "battle arena changed depending on who you fought, like there could be 4 (tecnicaly 5 if you include trainers in the next part) floors that it would transition too, one srounded by trees and has grass, one that is srounded by mountains and has a rocky floor, one that's the sea with the little dock board walk, and like a wooden floor with the arena patten on it (you know this > [-{0}-] ) for the gym leaders
Good idea
This is sick, you should make a vid where u add the rest of the pokes, more moves and the elite four! Also is there a proper levelling system? I think everything is just level 50 if you can you should add normal pokemon levels and the XP system! Amazing video hope we see more of this!
This is cool!

0:46 The “IT WAS A LOG???” Thing was commented on the stream by Nick Gundlach
Yay
Awesome work, congratulations and thanks for sharing! Now here is a thing: I honestly feel a 2D Ash would look better in a 3D overworld, much like how you did the 2D Pokémon in battle.
Amazing recreation. Pokémon blue was my first game I played, ever. I’m not a huge fan of the franchise now but this triggers all the right nostalgia buttons. The sprites were literally part of the charm. I don’t care for newer graphics or whatever
Same blue has so many good memories
I would love if we could get the sprites back as well. The 3D is far less appealing to me.
Same Andrew, we’re showing our age here haha
Same here, i watched the first four episode of pokemon kanto on television and got a commercial for pokemon blue so i run towards the local gamestore and played the heck out off pokemon blue...the memories and nosta i will never forget.
The 2d sprites looked epic and the 3d sprites looked tragic.
this is absolutely insane. the amount of work you put in to this is incredible.
And FAAAARRRR more care and effort than GameFreak has put into a game in a long time sadly...
@@carpespasm well I wouldn’t say far more, but it still was probably harder and game freak takes like 2 years so like yeah
it is an absolute tragedy that all your work can't even be played by us, but a part two where everything gets finished would still be awesome!
Blame the law, and the fact fighting a good legal battle is expensive. The law means he can't get you to pay for it, so he'd lose money anyways, and the law with copyright is so old that it doesn't adjust for modern times
@@illford so if it was free everything would be gucci
@@illford yeah but he still sends it out to streamers, which would still be seen as distribution by the law. So its very flawed logic and makes these videos pointless in a way. Since you'll never see the fully finished product.
This must have been tremendously self-rewarding to do...
This is super cool. I would love to play the classics in 3D. This channel is awesome and I love what you're doing. Definitely subscribed.
I’m only halfway through and I honestly can’t believe how cool this is. To play it would be a dream.
