- Over the past year, I remade Pokemon Black and White as Octopath Traveler. I started off as a complete beginner in pixel art, 3D modeling, and using Unreal Engine, but with the power of determination and stubbornness, anything is possible.

Thank you all so much for watching and leaving feedback! I would’ve never thought that this channel would blow up to the point it is now. There are two main issues that I want to address:
1. Firstly, I want to apologize for the sound of the audio. While editing the video, I didn’t really think the background music was an issue, but I believe that is due to the settings I use for my current setup.
2. Secondly, even after using clips from Castelia City, I continually stated that Pokémon Black/White is a 2D game. This is incorrect. I am so used to the 2D sprites, and since they are so iconic, it completely slipped my mind even after writing the script.
I’ll be addressing these issues in future videos and taking in as much feedback as I can to improve! Once again, I apologize for misleading and confusing you if I did, and thank you all for the support! (^_^)
Thank you for your amazing work! I think that gen 5 are the best looking Pokemon games, a remake in this style could definitely do them justice. I'm also happy to hear that there will be more videos in the future!
watched your video when it had like 80 views, and found it really above the average quality of youtube videos, good to know this video ended up picking up steam after that, you really deserved it.
The text should also be a lot bigger, sometimes you can barely read what it says. The project really looks great though!
Hey I know another youtube channel who also do this project unfortunately their pc reset so they lost progress.
How about you guys work together as a team? This is the channel @ulone5656
Hey you should check out another person who already work on this project but their pc unfortunately reset. How about two of you combine to make this project faster?
This has BEEN the direction I've wanted GF to take the pokemon games ever since octopath traveler came out, this is ridiculously impressive!!
And the crazy thing is, it could be even better. He admitted he’s not an expert in certain things and so a team of devs could really make the game pop
fr the mainline pokemon games dont belong in full 3D especially if there not gonna have good art direction and make it look like shiet. they should either use the same engine star rail/genshin impact uses or go with octopath traveler style.
@CatTheGato Pokémon would lose sales if they went back to 2D now. 3D is the norm and 3D is what the best-selling games of this era are. They will lose money if they go 2D again.
@@sigvif we know that 3D is the norm, but pokemon is better than the norm. And it started in 2D and did great while it was in 2D. Tell me, if 3D is the way to go then why isnt the anime in 3D ? Its because thats not what looks best for pokemon.
@@CatTheGato Legends Arceus was the only Pokemon game that justified the 3D with the catching and stalking mechanics that could only be done in 3D; all the other 3D games were made in 3D for the sake of being 3D. Unicorn Overlord got rave reviews.
gen 5 pixelart is peak gamedesign for gamefreak.. I really hope they see vids like this and might return to pixelart even just for a remake of this gen..
Likewise! I'm a sucker for good pixel art!
Na gen 3 was peak
That’s art style, not game design. Game design is the process of creating games as an experience, game art is separate :)
@@HorbaHotelOwner gen 3 was a step in the right direction, and the stopping point was gen 5
It's too late now, I'm sure. They most likely started development of the remakes with some form of 3D graphics (hopefully not Chibi).
A little rough around the edges, but really well put together as a "quick" proof of concept. It was really cool getting to see what this would look like.
Just wondering for myself what did you see to consider rough around the edges?
@@yaboiimo The UI is a little basic, the textures are a tad on the weak side, and the trees are a bit repetitive. Like, nothing one would reasonably complain about for a project of this scale, but it probably wouldn't hold up in a final release.
This style makes me feel safe...
Pokemon makes me feel safe...
If I played this I would feel INVINCIBLE!
(I need this in my life)
I miss when Pokemon made me feel safe.
You ARE invincible, my man! ❤
The effort you put into this project is understated. Between learning different programs and attempting your hand at art. Thanks for showing us your vision.
this style is amazing, just imagine how diamond and pearl remakes would have look with it...
It makes me sad that gen 4 remakes were in that chibi style. Waited so long for the remakes to only be disappointed. Really feels like gamefreak just wanted to push them out for a quick buck and to shut up fans who were asking for them.
@@Pixxelllthey did underground dirty… i really want the secret bases and the capture the flag.. 😂 with the traps. (Yes thats all i did in diamond/pearl)
Sure it became a glorified underground wild area… woo…
@@Pixxelll basically how it went down. Fans twisted GF’s arm so much, they had no choice but to release it reluctantly.
@@oslenamartinez8673don’t blame the fans for gamefreak’s incompetence.
@@Pixxelll I know… they ruined my favorite generation! this is basically all I wanted after Gen 5! Most likely they would’ve had to transition to full 3D, but it would’ve given them more time to work on the animations, models, and a consistent art style for the Switch!
Bro you are a genius. I think if the Pokemon conpany were to make a HD-2D game rather than a 3D one it would really turn out great.
Octopath traveler ii is probably my favorite game ever so it's great to see the same style used for the pokemon franchise (which i love too)
In the past month, I started studying Unity and trying to make a 2.5D game. But lately my enthusiasm has faded because my laptop is getting more and more laggy.
But your video restored my enthusiasm to try to continue learning again.
Have you tried downloading more ram?
@@nickvanpijlen5199 bro 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@nickvanpijlen5199 nah he needs to install a better gpu inside the ram for more fps
The camera for the battle doesnt need that zoom in / zoom out, but amazingly done! Wow. Impressive.
I agree
Yeah, it's cool and cinematic-looking, but it's important to remember that the player is going to undergo several hundred battles (possibly upwards of a thousand depending on how much they play). Having so much movement and animation can become physically sickening (in my case) and/or time-wasting in the eyes of the player.
I often see that, during nuzlocke runs, players will turn off battle animations (or equip some sort of fast forward through ported games) the instant that they start a run because it's so much time wasted on something that they've already seen hundreds of times before. Imo I think that, for a game like pokemon, those repetitive transitions should be follow the three S's: Short, Sweet, Subtle. Or alternatively, the animations should be made short and incredibly unique so that they never get old.
Only 39 views? Man wtf you are actually cooking! Literally every gen V fan wants a remake like this and not some shiet like BDSP
Thank you so much! (^_^)

Dude. Subbed. Gen 5 is my favourite of the entire franchise and I've sunk and ungodly amount of time into the Octopath games. I'm incredibly impressed and look forward to seeing more from you. Cheers!
this is actually the best pokemon fan made game ideia that I have ever seen, congrats man, this is marvelous
It turned out realllly nice! Watching you create the the locations and explain your process is awesome so I hope you consider continuing this project
This video was amazing, you are definitely criminally underrated. I clicked without seeing the views, I thought this would have had like minimum 200k views
Awesome concept and execution! I'm a little biased as an octopath fan but the 2.5D aesthetics are so good, it's really neat to know a little more of what goes into creating them and to see how they can be applied to other things like pokemon!
My only suggestion would be to make the smaller text bigger if possible - I have this issue with octopath too, where those speech bubbles can be really difficult to read from both a phone or TV screen.
Keep doing this fan games are so widely made dude and I was literally starting to look into what it would take to make this exact type of game.
I haven't kept up with Pokemon, but creators with ideas like you are what truly keeps me hoping the franchise improves or at least get adopted by other games in the genre. This looks awesome and must have taken ages.
God I love the actual 3D they use for this game, it's so charming.
Thank you for giving full visual context for something I've thought for awhile. I want THIS but for X and Y with the addition of id like them to extra take on more octopath and let us actually play through some of what the other assistants of that friend group had going on. I think that would genuinely be a way to remake those games in a truly beautiful way.
Having said that, incredible work. It looks absolutely lovely
YOOOOOOOOO AWESOME JOB MAN! I'm glad you used all of my music for this!
Dude we need a part 2 to this, this is sick.
this feels more like pokemon than any of the modern games ive played over the last 10 years, you did an amazing job here man
Ngl this felt weird seeing this in OPT graphics but man your cooking real good dude. This looks extremely awesome
This is literally my dream game. Thank you for giving me at least a taste of it.
For just one person to make, this is super impressive. I would say I hope we get something like this for the gen 5 remakes but we all know that’s not gonna happen );
Bro came out of nowhere and dropped heat. Jokes aside, this is incredible!! Not only was the project super well done, but the video was really entertaining to watch! Good stuff!!!
Hello, I'm from Chile, I've been a Pokémon fan since I can remember, I learned to read and write practically by playing, since my earliest childhood my Pokémon companions have accompanied me until today when I'm 25 years old.
I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing, you have no idea how special this project is for people like us, I will be attentive to your updates and I will tell everyone who is interested, please let our love for this saga continue to live on people like you.
with a lot of love and hope for your project, a veteran Pokémon trainer ❤
Absolutely beautiful work, the battle scenes alone give me goosebumps from how stunning they are. Can't wait to see more projects from you! :)
This is 100% exactly what I'm hoping for with the gen 5 remakes
I can't even fathom how excited I would be to see the octopath team themselves working on it too
One man, had to learn a game engine, with no prior experience in pixel art, and still made a better potential product than ILCA, and maybe gamefreak...
That was insanely dope, congrats man 🫡
This looks pretty good. How ever, here are a few things I would have changed:
Our pokemon's health bar lower down, enemy's health bar higher up
walking behind trees makes the trees block a lot of the view, so resizing them or changing the camera angle should fix this
This is an incredible job! Inspiring me to carry on with my pixel art!
Mate this is brilliant! Stoked to see this result of an HD-2D recreation of pokemon
"Im no artist..." next frame amazing animation, you are a user of black magic im sure.
I love how my generation is growing up and finally paying tribute to this phenomenal game. I really can't stress enough how I wish that the probably coming remake (just speculations of course) is going to be in a style like that.
I think you did a great job with this project! Keep going!
Dammnnnn. Great work! Better then the current pokemon games. Please continue working on your remake and maybe, just maybe you could publish it and make it playable for us too!
It would get taken down but if you look at palworld and its very creative mons like green scorbunny a very original and legit game in this style would be top %percentage%

Fantastic work, this is what the remakes should be aiming to look like
broo that's awesome work here ! You did very well ! nice vids
i hope to see more spicy projects of yours ;)
You're doing the work of the Pokegods here, can't wait to see even more!
whenever i talk about remaking gen 5 this is my first talking point and im so glad its real
Actually goated. Do post this on r/pokemon so that you get the attention you deserve
Agreed 💯👍
The fact that you were like “alright next step is to make sprites for the main character” and just did it is crazy. You just bang that shit out zero experience?
Damn this is crazy cool. The overworld looks so clean.
The style seems very intriguing, and it fits extremely well. Excellent work yo!
this is legit bro. keep it up.
Thanks a lot! ^_^
Ive had this idea in my head since Octopath came out. I feel like a gen 5 remake would be gorgeous in an Octopath style HD-2D style game. This art with a proper looking pokemon battle system would be killer.
So... dude just woke up 1 day, learned Unreal Engine, plugins and Blender within the space of 5 minutes, putting himself in the realm of some level of super-genius, as Blender is notoriously difficult to understand --- yet still managed to put out a product that is less buggy in the first 5 minutes than what GameFreak can manage.
props :D
nintendo hire this man
Nintendo doesn’t make Pokémon games
Pokemon even being close to what Octopath is would be beautiful
Fans: "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave, with a box if scraps"
Gamefreak: "I'm not Tony Stark"
I was thinking about trying to mod Octopath to include Pokémon, I thought about this a couple of weeks ago. The timing of this video is insane!
had the same idea like 2 years ago, but never came around to do it myself thanks for showing everyone this vision
Holy shit the vision is real!!!
This is awesome and definitely deserves a sub. I would love to see you get more in depth with this! Like imagining Skyarrow bridge but in this style would be so mesmerizing, or even being able to see Castelia city's skyline from the distance, etc!
Okay this is wild and super cool! Thank you so much for making something I probably would've just seen in my imagination. Great job on the sprite work too. Looking forward to seeing attack animations.
Black/White is probably my fav game, and honestly the 2d/3d blend was so awesome at the time. Seeing the title made my jaw drop and I clicked almost immediately. I want to make my own Poke-like game one day, and hopefully by then I'll have enough experience to do something like Octopath Traveler. I don't need the ray-traced lighting or anything like that, but imagine a fully fleshed out chapter-by-chapter choice-making storyline where you and the other two rivals have to work with or against each other to uncover the mystery of the bad guy team and figure out their motivations to put a stop to them. Obviously the climax would involve a legendary which you and one of the other rivals would have that final battle for either saving the region or leaving it to ruin
Imagine this would be the style for the Gen 5 remakes and you’re getting hired for it
I Imagine them saying "heck nah that sounds like we would have to do actual work we can't be doing that to our 2 employees and definitely not on our $10 budget"
@@vaelegoro7782 sounds more realistic
Honestly one of the greatest recreations from my two favorite series! Phenomenal work man!
9:15 if you want to just see the finished product.
Bro, imagine doing the OG gold and silver, yellow, crystal, red and blue in this style. I love the look and design of everything. This is such incredible work, and Nintendo should absolutely learn a thing or 2 from you.
love it so much, watched the whole video and was so surprised to see only 2k views, keep going
As someone working on an HD2D Monster tamer game, I'd like to say that you did a wonderful job on this project
The amount of time and effort you put into this video and demo is impressive. Looking forward to seeing what other kinds of things you are working on
cant really understand your voice when the music is 3x louder
Franchement, gros respect pour ton travail, t’es fort. On va suivre ta progression et tes projets, force à toi pour la suite.
It's a little rough around the edges, but it still looks great! Honestly, seeing this only makes me want an actual 3D-2D Pokemon game. Excellent work, man!
Not to be hating, but the original game still looks better in my opninion. The colors and shapes make it look more visually appealing.
It boggles my mind how ONE GUY can create a remaster that feels better than entire studios work. Like others said it needs some polish but this is incredible!!
horrible
I’ve been wanting to see something like this forever!! Absolutely amazing work man
I don’t like this style. I mean congrats for doing this but I personally really hope we won’t ever play in this kind of artstyle
Amazing what a good lighting engine can do.
Not gonna lie it doesn't look good at all I don't want a game like this
this is AMAZING. pls keep up the good work i cant tell you how much i love it 😭
Looks awful sorry
love it. when first played octopath i was struck with the thought "pokemon would look fire in this style game"
This is amazing!
Two of my favorite games combined into one!
It is amazing what you were able to acomplish being your first time using UE5, Blender and doing pixelart, this is trully inspiring.
Incredible work! Looks amazing!
Everyone watching this thinking it should be a triple A title or something. After quickly learning unreal.
Dude well done.
This looks awesome!! Amazing work 👏🏻
How do you only have 359 subscribers? This is amazing work. Nintendo ought to just hire you to handle a black and white remake.
This is stunning. Well done for putting in so much hard work! I want this so much
This is insanely cool dude! I can't believe I'm here so early 🙌🏻
This is amazing great job! CobraCode's youtube channel has some really good stuff on 2D in Unreal but it looks like you worked it out on your own.
Like someone else said, I think creating some short videos of your work here would help to get more views
Many thanks! Turns out I did watch CodeCobra when learning the basics of PaperZD.
Honestly really great job on this project!
Thank you, i'm so hype that release officially, you're so strong
This looks amazing! Like seriously. Like the only thing I'd nitpick is the placement of the battle menu
This is very impressive as someone who started from scratch. Great work!
I hope this comes out soon
Such an awesome video.
Combining Pokemon and Octopath Traveler was always in the back of my mind. But I don't have any game dev experience. Good job doing all of this!
This might be a really great portfolio for your resume too! Learning all of this, executing it, while also presenting the whole thing in such enjoyable video. You got talents!
The pokemon fangame community probably has a lot of the necessary assets to make this type of game. From battle AI to all the spritework, damage and level calculations and other background processes.
Would love to see this come to fruition
Deadass would love if this exploded in popularity just to support u
Already 100x more soul and style than the Diamond and Pearl remakes. Incredible work! The Pokémon Fanbase is so talented it’s crazy!
Pokemon in pixel art and 3D flavor was peak
Wow!! Incredible work sir! Subbed! I'm looking forward to what ever you conjure up next.
This is amazing. Keep up the good work!
