This is such an ambitious project, and I'm all for it! Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to play it and check out your other games down the line! This is absolutely incredible.
I also wanted to point out I used Treecko a lot just cuz he is my fave starter OF ALL TIME, the other starters were all programmed and done since the beginning but Treecko is my baby
@@UndreamedPanic What version of Unreal Engine did you use? I wanna start making these, too! Since I started my first year of college this year as a Computer Science student, I really wanna learn about game development!
This needs to be the new norm for Nintendo. If someone outside Nintendo can do this so can they. I understand 2D-HDs take long to make and that’s fine. This is perfect for new and older fans!
It takes less time to make than a full blown 3D game. The reality is, most children do not like that style so TPC sees no interest in following through with it sales wise.
@ All honesty TPC should listen to fanbase to know what they want. For instance, nuzlocke mode. Do I think it’ll happen…. No. But after the Sonic movie, I’m a little hopeful (doubtful) but still hopeful
its faster with a team, going all 3D is actually more of a pain and takes 5x as long because not only do you have to model with percision on the vertices but you also gotta make the rig of said pokemon, then weigh the bones to the mesh and then correct with the weight by painting the corrections AND THEN you still gotta animate it.
@@charnalk5572 Problem is TPC doesn't really care about the games anymore, they're just a means to keep interest up and introduce new Pokémon to make merch of at this point.
6:03 Yup, Poochyena attacking Birch is only in Ruby/Sapphire. Another version exclusive difference is Vigoroth moves your stuff in your house in Emerald while in Ruby/Sapphire it’s Machoke that moves your stuff in your house.
Ive been hoping for a spinoff pokemon game with the octopath traveler artstyle for years. This project is literally everything i want. I cant wait to see how far this project will go
Emerald was my introduction to pokemon on the same day i got my first nintendo DS, with a skin/cover of Pikachu with a thunderstorm behind him... I wanna go back to those simpler times
whoa this is really cool, i love the art style they've got for the sprites!! gen 5 moving sprites is always appreciated can't wait to see more from projects like these and flux!!
ONE LAST THING PLEASE! I Hope the dev sees this. For physical attacks have the mons move to and from each other. Not just a movement on the spot. Most RPGs do this already. Weird that Pokemon doesn't. Tackle should move so the mon connects with the other.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT (Developer here) For physical moves like tackle, or body slam I programmed it so the pokemon jump towards the enemy pokemon, not all attacks do that, just once thats require movement so like quick attack and pound dont have it, as quick attack happens so fast I make the pokemon flicker in and out with VFX and pound is just a straight up punch. But something like BOUNCE causes the pokemon to land on the enemy pokemon during the following turn IF they are in play (not using dig or fly, etc etc)
I was 5 or 6 when I played Pokemon black which was my first Pokémon game but i didn’t know anything about Pokémon until oras when I really understood the games and show and I finally knew Pokémon’s names and omega ruby was the first Pokémon game I ever beat and I feel so old now
I prefer Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl especially for how easy it is to mod them. There is a certain Brilliant Diamond mod that became my favorite Pokémon experience ever, and it is thanks to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond being made.
This is honestly more what I was expecting when we started getting remakes. I didn’t think they were going to go all in on 3D for the old games. For the new games it is fine but this holds closer to the feel of the older generations.
It's been at least 10 years.. I'm still trying to get an authentic copy of this game ever since I got scammed for it 4 times in my life. They cost so much, 200+ dollars!!! And the game seems to be getting so much popular these days for some reason. I just want to complete my Platinum pokedex, my childhood game. It's been a dream of mine for so long. I even managed to get an authentic version of Heartgold. I just want an authentic copy before this Christmas. But fate keeps me from getting it. 😔
this video is fire. it was fun watching you showcase us through the timeline of the making of the game and shedding light on the hard work of the creator.
I've always been surprised all these years that the main company has avoided expanding on the pokemon animations, even after moving to 3D models. I'm sure there are restraint/cost reasons but it has felt silly they don't put that time and effort in. The custom personalities of pokemon would be amazing to see shine through even in an idle animation.
This is BEYOND AMAZING!!!! How I wish I had the patience and the intellect to do something of this magnitude!!! As much as I grew tired of all the many Emerald Rom Hacks that we have, I will MOST DEFINITELY play this one the second the demo releases!! Give this creator all the PRAISE!!
Can't wait for this game to come out. Finally, a gen 3 game without the stupid concept of how moves are physical or special based on typing... I'm well aware of ORAS existing... but this one's got flavor.
Fans casually making Pokemon games for absolutely zero profit in their free time all on their own, and outdoing anything that Gamefreak does with their official games and insanely huge teams of paid workers and a year to years of development time to put out unfinished products:
I can't believe that my favourite Pokémon games Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire turned 10 years old I still believe how hyped I was when I got them literally 10 years ago in Christmas 2014 to my first 3DS and that makes me to feel like a dinosaur too, but happy 10th anniiversary the best Pokémon remakes ORAS I'll celebrate it to play them once again! An 2D-HD Octopath Traveller & Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD remake graphics having Pokémon Emerald game looks so beautiful I really hope that Nintendo will learn something of it. Pokémon fan games: Gotta Munchmax them all! 🌋🦖🌊🐋🌪🐉🍊🎅🏻
@@UndreamedPanic I just hope to God you keep this as low profile as possible. Dissappear for time and then give a nice update. Nintendo does not fu*k around with their cease and desist.
I'd say scarlet an violet got perfect 3d models for most part. But this game project is definitely more visually appealing than multiple official pokemon games
Even if it's like Pixel Remaster where it's still 2d but with better move animation, I would prefer that. An HD-2D pokemon game would be a dream come true.
My personal opinion, Pokemon should reserve the 3d for the newer gens and their Legends series. Remakes of gen 1 to 5, you could include 6, should be hyper 2d or have that paper mario/octopath style
i would absolutely DIE to play this game. pokemon omega ruby was my life as a kid, but emerald was and will always be my favorite pre-3ds pokemon game. so excited to see if they release it, it will have all my hours
OMG my dream coming true. After seeing HD 2D on Octopath Traveler, i always wanted this. I literally said last week to my friend would be nice if we get a pokemon game in Octopath Traveler graphics. I'm not a 3D haters since my first pokémon games is "Y" but damn Sprites are so much more superior..Hope this game doesn't get taken down. Plz nintendo look the other way for once. If the dev seeing this, Good work on this project look fantastic❤. I'll be so much playing this when it release.
They have a system in place so they could make this a game that isnt based off Pokémon and just a 2.5d monster catcher game with custom story in case Nintendo doesnt like what they are doing
Honestly it'd be really best if Pokemon keeps switching with 2D and 3D like make gen 10 a 2.5D game and gen 11 a 3D game kinda like legend of Zelda does it and mario and metroid too huh...
It's not that this Hyper 2D is what we want... It's the LOVE and EFFORT put into this game by someone WHO CARES enough to do it for free, which is what gamefreak lost overtime. This game would look better in 3D objectively, as long as it had equal LOVE and EFFORT in jt
2.5D is great but it doesn't match the pixelated style for 2D or the original graphics. At least make it less pixelated to match the 2.5D style of the over world environment. Other than that, it's great especially the screen shake when your pokemon or opponents pokemon take a hit. Also the special effects for moves are dope. I'll buy this even if they sell it for $60 dollars just to satisfy my cravings and the nostalgia of my childhood. Pokemon Yellow is my first pokemon game experience but 3rd gen Pokemon is my favorite.
No shade to current 3d style, its great. But personally i think pokemon have higher potential if they stick to 2d sprites and animation but enchances the gameplay more before going to 3d animation and sprites. Cuz now that they working on 3d there too much focus to make 3d animations that they have to focus less on Performance
I think this is the direction pokemon should have always gone. HD-2D is perfect for pokemon. 3D was a bad choice for the main title games. It should've only done 3D for spin-off titles.
Yeah, 2D has so much potential. I don't know why they keep insisting of going the 3D route when they suck at doing 3D and it runs as awful as it looks. 2D would not just look way better (if it's done well like this single developer proved by outdoing the entire GameFreak studio), but it also just performs well on the hardware.
Would have much preferred Nintendo to have taken this design choice over what they have been going with with a lot of the later gens. I hate the idea that pixel art games are more unwanted compared to 3d games. I miss 2d Pokemon more than any thing and have to fill the gap from that with rom hacks and such. Trying to play modern day Pokemon doesn't fill me with fun and joy like it use to. A certain fusion game was a ton of fun, I would support this dev for that they are doing but we all know what Nintendo would do... Any way 3d Gen still my Fav. Never changing my mind.
If you like the HD-2D aesthetic, check out this similar project with a playable demo! ua-cam.com/video/7vsl0U3m088/v-deo.html

No problem, thanks for making it! Looks amazing so far and I look forward to future updates. Keep up the great work ✌️

I don’t know if anyone else caught this but the team in the title screen is actually Ruby’s team from the Adventures Manga!!
Nice catch !!
@ I mean I did recently watch some videos on that arc of the manga so it was mostly coincidence lol.
Does Ruby have a Gardevoir? When did he catch Ralts?
@ he had Ralts but ended up losing it. For a while Wally had it, but he got it back.
6:03 Yup, Poochyena attacking Birch is only in Ruby/Sapphire. Another version exclusive difference is Vigoroth moves your stuff in your house in Emerald while in Ruby/Sapphire it’s Machoke that moves your stuff in your house.

I think if any spin off will be in the style, it will be mystery dungeon
i'll play this game in a heartbeat
As someone who’s never played a gen 3 game, I would also play this game!
These graphics are beautiful
This looks incredible, if only BDSP had a similar vision to this instead of what we got.
hopefully gen 5 remakes. had the most complex pixel arts because obviously it was the last generation with them
Gen 4 remakes should have been in full 3D like Gen 8
they NEED to go back to sprites for a game, even if it's just a spin off and do this hd2d style!
i saw a video on some guy making a project turning pokemon into octopath graphics.
nice to know theres a full game coming!
Emerald was my introduction to pokemon on the same day i got my first nintendo DS, with a skin/cover of Pikachu with a thunderstorm behind him...
I wanna go back to those simpler times
2D anime character sprites on top of 3D backgrounds can also work.
whoa this is really cool, i love the art style they've got for the sprites!! gen 5 moving sprites is always appreciated

The Pokemon Black n White 3 we need
It's incredible that a guy can do a better job than a company
Imagine this comes to pokemon 3d
pokemon if it went in the route of a true modern indie JRPG
I hope they add wild Roselias, though emerald did'nt have them
For years I've said that a Pokemon Emerald remake with BW graphics and mechanics would be my perfect/ideal pokemon game. Here it finally is
My personal opinion, Pokemon should reserve the 3d for the newer gens and their Legends series. Remakes of gen 1 to 5, you could include 6, should be hyper 2d or have that paper mario/octopath style
There are only 2 moves I wanted to see like Leaf Blade and Blaze Kick in Gen 3 style with the newer version here.
Me literally sitting here seeing what I WISHED gamefreak and Pokemon did all along and just stayed 2d with more style.
My jaw dropped from how good it look
This is impressive as hell
Pixel art for gen 5 sequel (bw3) would be siiiick, gamefreak cmoooooooon
if dragon quest has 2d hd remakes maybe pokemon will try it out someday
Aww cant wait to play this masterpiece !!!!!!!!
