Seeing this should make the Pokémon player base realize just how much potential this series really has. And mainly the fact that Game freak doesn’t understand that majority of their player base is over the age of 12 and actually wants to see quality games and innovation instead of the almost copy and paste games they seem to love to make (minus sword and shield in recent memory, that was a huge step in the right direction) but the remakes are just a cash grab it this point. I’d love to see them take an extra year or 8 months or so to make an amazing game that can stand the test of time. We don’t need a half ass money grab every single year it just gets old. Anyways those are my thoughts after watching this beautiful video. Thanks for reading my mini essay if you did :)
Hobbiest Game dev: I like pokemon SV. I wonder can i at least make a single dungeon and functionally be a pokemon game. 4 days later: Done.... that was easy. Congratulations Random Game dev you have proven to be more capable than the 500 employees in gamefreak.
@@snintendog According to an article, it took him 3 weeks to do this. That may seem really impressive, but realistically, 3 weeks is actually a long time. You can tell where he had to cut corners in many aspects. I think he would also agree that, while this is cool and was a fun fan project, it doesn't compare to the end results of the newest games. If a game being "functional" is all you need then there are plenty out there that pass that bar.
@@snintendog how is that funcionally? It would need weeks to fix it so its at least a bit polished. Its also just very superficial, there is mich more behind than just some good looking location and pokemons
@@fabulousk9014 lol he made the basics and your worried about style. fuck this guy coded what 10 Pokemon and move sets with a drop in function your right to finish the back bone would be a few weeks and all that would need is animations and models. still doing better than GF where they take 5 years to get to this level.
dude this was awesome, super impressive to see it done by one guy, honestly it's so close to a good base for a full game with some polish! incredibly cool
I think with pre-Gen 7 games (Sun and Moon) the locations are meant to be an abstraction of what the places actually look like, and if they are remade in the game I think they can be changed significantly to at least matches the realistic style - maybe each stair you get to maybe 25 floors each and you'd see the change with more clouds or reference points like building sizes or mountains.
The clouds being at the top are probably an effect or byproduct of Rayquaza themselves, not that the tower stretches all the way to regular cloud height
Plus that 6000 feet is the average cloud height doesn't mean clouds only exist there. I've been at mountains were clouds appear at like 3000 or 4000 feet height.
@@mrbloodyhyphen-5657 We are also not calculating how tall the island is. Also, in some parts of the world clouds can be as low at 2000 feet or even at standing level in which they are reffered to as fog. I deal with these when flying VFR.

I'm definitely gonna tell my kids this is what the Pokémon games look like. Kicking Dusclops off the ledge...exquisite "THIS. IS. SPARTAAA" energy. Ah yes, the Sky Pillar. The home of the abuela.

Honestly, I was a little surprised at first by how laggy it was because I assumed it took months of work then I noticed you spent only 3 weeks on this which is insanely fast and this type of quality far exceeds what I would assume how a 3-week project would look, this is absolutely amazing great work!
@certifiedclapaholic5380 You clearly did not pay attention to my post I said AT FIRST and ASSUMED I thought he coded much more and would have added a lot more pokemon. And if you could do better in less than a couple months please so do. I'd love to see how it turns out. I've seen projects that took months that implemented far less
@@NineTailedNaruto98 ah yes, the old "so why don't you do it if it's so easy?!" fallacy. Try to bring some more logic and intelligence to the discussion before trying to tear me down to prove your point because it only makes you look ignorant.
@@NineTailedNaruto98 He did pretty minimal backend coding on this side project. I have done more than this in as little time, it’s pretty easy when you take content off the unreal marketplace, rearrange a map, then code a UI that isn’t even difficult. If you look at the Indie-dev side of the industry you can see that it’s pretty common for solo-developers to take assets from other games or the unreal marketplace and make semi-functioning games with no lag in the span of 5 days. And for him to somehow make this game lag is pretty outstanding, as I’ve made a 5kmx5km forest without any optimization lag less than this. I think people great over estimate how easy it is to make something like this, especially in unreal where the program is mostly just a block building style (it’s called blueprint system, but my friends and I call it block building) where you don’t have to write code. What this guy made would be considered a concept demo, where he could take this to a dev team or investors to prove the concept of a Pokémon game developed on UE4/5 and get the team/funding needed to produce more. From there it would take the normal 2 years to produce it, if not sooner due to the easier coding mechanics of unreal, unless they decide to code in C# or C++ instead due to better development controls
Your remake was smooth! That object-oriented programming thing is why there are so many Pokémon fan games, Pokémon themselves are shockingly easy to program compared to the intricate enemy ai in many other games. Based on this, I can confirm that the Sky Pillar (Japanese: 空の柱 Sky Pillar) is a building in Hoenn. It is located on the northern edge of Route 131 in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald, and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Rayquaza appears at the top of the Sky Pillar, and in Emerald, it will disappear completely after it has been either caught or defeated. It includes the tower itself, as well as a cave with no wild encounters that is directly connected to Route 131. In the Generation III games, the land on top of the island the Sky Pillar is located on, which is traversed after exiting the cave but before entering the tower, is a part of the Sky Pillar; in the Generation VI games, this area is instead part of Route 131.
Better is definitely relative, as long as they have Pokémon by the balls, they will continue to put out whatever they want and know that they are going to make money on it. Much more money since the games don’t need to bother with silly unimportant things like how the game looks or runs
@@THGMR-ox7sd did… did you hear it? “They DO care, they just DON’T do the things that would constitute caring” To be fair to you I am exaggerating but still. Im not the typical critic to complain about all aspects of everything just to be contrarian, but even if the game isn’t visually perfect… it should WORK
There's a man who has artistic vision, He's showing up Nintendo with each decision, He makes it in a flash, And all the assets clash, Do his artistic skills know no boundaries? Nintendo, hire this man, Nintendo, hire this man, He's using Unreal Engine in any way he can
gamefreak would never hire him, they absolutely hate somebody out doing them, look back at gen 3 when Genius sonority made there games, it made gamefreak seethe so much they refuse to talk about to this day nor hire any of those devs. Allot of those devs moved on and started working for HAL on various kirby games and smash bros
Haven't watched the video yet but the ultimate flex would be to do any amount of efficiency optimization on the code you used so that you could fit the remade game into less space than is necessary for a Nintendo Switch cartridge. One of Game Freak's biggest shortcomings is and always has been clearly their inability to optimize their code for space. Even as far back as gens 1 & 2 they struggled with this. Though it was very impressive that they managed to fit as much of these games as they did into as little space as is on a GameBoy cartridge, it wasn't until Satoru Iwata came along that they were even able to fit Gen 2 onto the cartridge and he saved so much space that they were able to add Kanto to the games as well. I fully believe that this is entirely possible to do. Bonus points of you add custom "high quality animations" for each Pokemon to use. You'd be an absolute legend if you did so and also managed to fit it into less space than they did.
Finished the video. I'm disappointed that you didn't remake the entire game but that was unrealistic so it's not a big deal. What is a big deal is that this project looks better than Scarlet and Violet did on release.
Game Freak or Nintendo, I don’t know who’s responsible for holding back Pokémon from becoming something more in the gaming world. But this just goes to show that it could be so much better!
@@ProtoBrown This was probably done by a single person or small team. Now imagine if a company like Nintendo tried using it. Or even cared enough to make Pokémon with higher frame rates.
From what I understand, the engine the games natively run on is a hellscape of pain (except for bdsp on unity), I've always wondered why they didn't just do exactly this
I agree, it seems it mostly works for the 3DS games (barely an pop-in for example), and yet it seems that the graphics and performance makes it feel they are still being run in the 3DS - they need a new engine badly, and that would take time that won't be maxing profits for them (as just a matter of fact it's still bought by tens of millions).
This is such an awesome project!! Personally I think this style of graphics doesn’t really work with Pokémon too well, but I’d be really interested to see what it would look like using nice textures/lighting with stylized cartoony shaders
Pokemon company a multi billionaire company they can put voice over on all pokemon animations on battles like the show and voice over for people but they wont oh that's the easy part
@@droid4d279 Why do people bash specifically pokémon for this, not having voice-overs in dialogue is very, _very_ common in RPGs 😭 The one reason I could think to criticize something like this would be the fact that they don't have voice acting for the animated cutscenes, which is a little awkward, but it's not like it's a huge deal.
@@QuokkaWaka Recent RPGs though I notice to have more voice acting now (even 2.5D games like Octopath Traveller 2)...I'd argue voice acting at least helps a lot when their characters animations are pretty sub par. EDIT: I do agree at the very least cutscenes should have dialogue, with snippet voices for others (see Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope).
But you should remember that this guy has a lot of free time and not a fixed schedule, and I am also pretty sure he doesn't do overtime and isn't pressured by others. Just saying
I mean, in scarlet violet, you collect peaces from each single Pokémon. Some stuff like hairs, claws, etc. So, i think ragdolls and explosion into peaces are fine.
Theoretically someone could do this relatively quick with the pokemon minecraft mod. The game mechanics are already all polished for that even with npc trainers/shops and PCs. All someone needs to do is build the areas, place the npcs, and turn routes into biomes and set the pokemon spawning parameters for each route. Definitely doable.
That was a really cool cutscene indeed! The effects of the abilities look phenomenal too! Great work man. 1 thing to immediately improve this project imho: Enemy hp top left and your hp bottom right.
crazy how these 3d graphics are so much better than any other 3d pokemon game you were one person that did this GF has a whole team maybe small and they cant do the same thing; kudos to you, you're amazing
This isn't really close to even 3d pokémon's standards, and all of the lighting and textures were made by other people. It's really impressive, but it's not better than what Gamefreak does.
you can add seamless level transitions using a box trigger so when climbing high enough on the last ladder it teleports you to the next scene and you can intro queue start the person climbing the ladder. in case that would interest u :)
Obviously what done is done. But for future reference you could have caused the clouds to be part of a storm that starts durring the cut scene or even when you get to a certain point in the cave, which brings the clouds to the player instead of bringing the player to the clouds
Yeah pretty embarrassing on the pokemon company honestly 😭 especially with all the money they make it’s insane to me they can’t make their games better or at least hire a better company to make these games
The most accurate part of this is that his whole team got sweeped except for his Blaziken somehow, then he just proceeds to chuck a Master Ball at the thing 😭
I hope this video can show why some parts of Pokemon SV weren't the highest quality they could've been, because yeah, the graphics for this single location that was made are great, but it's not an entire open world, and interactive map, with a storyline that has to branch off of that map, along with 2 other storylines running alongside it. Not only that, but the renewend move animations, the terastalyzation (Not sure if I spelled that right) animations and gameplay, fully animated cutscenes, and so much more all had to be created, optimized, and rendered in (Allegedly) 3 years, which sounds like a lot of time, but for what the team had to make, what we got was pretty damn good, and I think people are overreacting a bit when it comes to the game's quality.
Yo nice! I did the same but in Unity, but ended up just creating a first person Pokemon Snap (trailer on my profile). Major kudos on getting the battling system going! The daunting task of getting a battling system is what pushed me to just doing the photo mode. Looking forward to more of this project.
After catching the Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza, the Pokemon Trainer from Littleroot performed an honorable 3km dive. The poor guy could not handle the emotional state of achieving your dreams by the age of 14.
I love it! I think some things like UI and Poké Ball animations need some work, but considering this is a one-man project done in about a month, this is really amazing.
Omfg I've been looking for something like this!! It's shocking how few people have done something like this Please if you're ever able to, it'd be awesome if you made a more in depth breakdown of the blueprints, or if you made the project available to download, cuz I'd personally love to look through the blueprints and see how it all works! Either way this is awesome!
Pretty cool video! Just curious, what are your PC specs? Curious how this would theoretically run on my PC, because there was a ton of slowdown in the cave shots lol
If an indie developer like you could make this so amazing, and GF doesn't, it is obvious there are forces behind each Pokémon production that stop from being high quality. You have made what a Pokémon game should stand for in today standards, simply stunning!
I think one thing people forget is that this project is running on a PC and loading a very small segment of the game. In order for a pokemon game of this magnitude to exist seamlessly, Nintendo needs to upgrade their console to PS5 levels and above. The switch cannot handle today's demands and I don't know why Nintendo dont just make 2 variants of the switch? One handheld and another big and stationary. The switch would be an amazing upgrade to the nintendo DS lines as a portable platform. While the non-handheld version would be able to compete with modern consoles by having equivalent or better processing power. Then we wouldn't have major AAA titles like BotW and Pokemon dropping frames like crazy.
One solution for the cloud problem is low hanging fog. Fog regularly rolls off the ocean basically at sea level, and is close enough to be logically consistent.
seeing Explosion work realistically is something I can never unsee

And if you could do better in less than a couple months please so do. I'd love to see how it turns out. I've seen projects that took months that implemented far less
@@NineTailedNaruto98 ah yes, the old "so why don't you do it if it's so easy?!" fallacy. Try to bring some more logic and intelligence to the discussion before trying to tear me down to prove your point because it only makes you look ignorant.
@@NineTailedNaruto98 He did pretty minimal backend coding on this side project. I have done more than this in as little time, it’s pretty easy when you take content off the unreal marketplace, rearrange a map, then code a UI that isn’t even difficult. If you look at the Indie-dev side of the industry you can see that it’s pretty common for solo-developers to take assets from other games or the unreal marketplace and make semi-functioning games with no lag in the span of 5 days. And for him to somehow make this game lag is pretty outstanding, as I’ve made a 5kmx5km forest without any optimization lag less than this. I think people great over estimate how easy it is to make something like this, especially in unreal where the program is mostly just a block building style (it’s called blueprint system, but my friends and I call it block building) where you don’t have to write code. What this guy made would be considered a concept demo, where he could take this to a dev team or investors to prove the concept of a Pokémon game developed on UE4/5 and get the team/funding needed to produce more. From there it would take the normal 2 years to produce it, if not sooner due to the easier coding mechanics of unreal, unless they decide to code in C# or C++ instead due to better development controls
Your remake was smooth! That object-oriented programming thing is why there are so many Pokémon fan games, Pokémon themselves are shockingly easy to program compared to the intricate enemy ai in many other games. Based on this, I can confirm that the Sky Pillar (Japanese: 空の柱 Sky Pillar) is a building in Hoenn. It is located on the northern edge of Route 131 in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald, and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Rayquaza appears at the top of the Sky Pillar, and in Emerald, it will disappear completely after it has been either caught or defeated.
It includes the tower itself, as well as a cave with no wild encounters that is directly connected to Route 131. In the Generation III games, the land on top of the island the Sky Pillar is located on, which is traversed after exiting the cave but before entering the tower, is a part of the Sky Pillar; in the Generation VI games, this area is instead part of Route 131.

What an insanely good video, am a programmer myself but never worked on games, cool to see the mindset behind decisions
as a pkmn nerd and programmer, I can say I love that vid
Ok this is dope. GF could seriously put resources into doing this but will probably wait until Gen 20 to give us better “graphics and animation”
Better is definitely relative, as long as they have Pokémon by the balls, they will continue to put out whatever they want and know that they are going to make money on it. Much more money since the games don’t need to bother with silly unimportant things like how the game looks or runs
@@WiseOakDakota I love how he says in Gen 20
@@WiseOakDakota Gen 20 would be 42 years from now
@@WiseOakDakota but they do care, they just don’t put enough time into it and don’t delay the games.
@@THGMR-ox7sd did… did you hear it? “They DO care, they just DON’T do the things that would constitute caring” To be fair to you I am exaggerating but still. Im not the typical critic to complain about all aspects of everything just to be contrarian, but even if the game isn’t visually perfect… it should WORK
I have no idea about programming but I felt nice to hear you talk about it so passionately and to watch god graphics Pokemon.
There's a man who has artistic vision,
He's showing up Nintendo with each decision,
He makes it in a flash,
And all the assets clash,
Do his artistic skills know no boundaries?
Nintendo, hire this man,
Nintendo, hire this man,
He's using Unreal Engine in any way he can
Nintendo fans try not to say hire fans every time someone makes a build in Unreal Engine challenge
gamefreak would never hire him, they absolutely hate somebody out doing them, look back at gen 3 when Genius sonority made there games, it made gamefreak seethe so much they refuse to talk about to this day nor hire any of those devs. Allot of those devs moved on and started working for HAL on various kirby games and smash bros
After what happened to PointCrow, it's morel likely that this man gets copyrighted
NINTENDO!!!!
Haven't watched the video yet but the ultimate flex would be to do any amount of efficiency optimization on the code you used so that you could fit the remade game into less space than is necessary for a Nintendo Switch cartridge. One of Game Freak's biggest shortcomings is and always has been clearly their inability to optimize their code for space. Even as far back as gens 1 & 2 they struggled with this. Though it was very impressive that they managed to fit as much of these games as they did into as little space as is on a GameBoy cartridge, it wasn't until Satoru Iwata came along that they were even able to fit Gen 2 onto the cartridge and he saved so much space that they were able to add Kanto to the games as well.
I fully believe that this is entirely possible to do. Bonus points of you add custom "high quality animations" for each Pokemon to use. You'd be an absolute legend if you did so and also managed to fit it into less space than they did.
Finished the video. I'm disappointed that you didn't remake the entire game but that was unrealistic so it's not a big deal. What is a big deal is that this project looks better than Scarlet and Violet did on release.
Really good video, keep it up man.
I like how the PokeBall misses the target and still catches the Pokemon
Game Freak or Nintendo, I don’t know who’s responsible for holding back Pokémon from becoming something more in the gaming world. But this just goes to show that it could be so much better!
That it can look like a generic unreal engine project?
@@ProtoBrown This was probably done by a single person or small team. Now imagine if a company like Nintendo tried using it. Or even cared enough to make Pokémon with higher frame rates.
This isn't better lmao
@@quorryraphael9980 Didn’t say it was, my boy. I said, “..it could be so much better.”
@@Red_EyedSV runs badly because the Switch is rendering a whole ocean as well
Super impressive, well done! Look forward to seeing more.
Broooo you're so underrated! This was really entertaining to watch!!!
Gamefreak needs to start hiring some of y’all because some of these fan made games I’ve seen online are exactly what we’ve been asking for visually
From what I understand, the engine the games natively run on is a hellscape of pain (except for bdsp on unity), I've always wondered why they didn't just do exactly this
Prolly has to do with hardware i don’t think the switch could run unreal engine
I agree, it seems it mostly works for the 3DS games (barely an pop-in for example), and yet it seems that the graphics and performance makes it feel they are still being run in the 3DS - they need a new engine badly, and that would take time that won't be maxing profits for them (as just a matter of fact it's still bought by tens of millions).
@@diandre337 laughs in fortnite
Nice graphics bro, love how you captured the frame rate of the actual games. Nice touch.
This is such an awesome project!! Personally I think this style of graphics doesn’t really work with Pokémon too well, but I’d be really interested to see what it would look like using nice textures/lighting with stylized cartoony shaders
With a larger team dedicated to this, playing a full Pokémon game like this could be really badass
Pokemon company a multi billionaire company they can put voice over on all pokemon animations on battles like the show and voice over for people but they wont oh that's the easy part
@@droid4d279
Why do people bash specifically pokémon for this, not having voice-overs in dialogue is very, _very_ common in RPGs 😭
The one reason I could think to criticize something like this would be the fact that they don't have voice acting for the animated cutscenes, which is a little awkward, but it's not like it's a huge deal.
@@QuokkaWaka Recent RPGs though I notice to have more voice acting now (even 2.5D games like Octopath Traveller 2)...I'd argue voice acting at least helps a lot when their characters animations are pretty sub par.
EDIT: I do agree at the very least cutscenes should have dialogue, with snippet voices for others (see Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope).
How don't you have more subscribers you deserve it
Watched all the way through - great execution on the technical breakdown
I respect the hell out of you bro made a whole scene of a Pokémon game look better than Pokémon did themselves W
I would have been fine watching a 10 minute long ladder climbing sequence for the final ladder.
🎵 What a thrill... 🎵
Independent pokemon creators > A Billion dollar mega company
HUGE W
But you should remember that this guy has a lot of free time and not a fixed schedule, and I am also pretty sure he doesn't do overtime and isn't pressured by others. Just saying
@@abezth7506so are a lot of other gaming studios. Yet they make polished products. Hmmmmmm almost like they care about the end product
@@dre160 Which studios don’t care about investors?
@@dre160 Didn’t you notice the awful motion blur?
Trainer: Catches Rayquaza
Also Trainer: unalives himself
I mean, in scarlet violet, you collect peaces from each single Pokémon. Some stuff like hairs, claws, etc.
So, i think ragdolls and explosion into peaces are fine.
I love how it looks like the player just- lobs the ball. XD
yea I fixed that in the new one 💀
Now I want a full remake🔥
Theoretically someone could do this relatively quick with the pokemon minecraft mod.
The game mechanics are already all polished for that even with npc trainers/shops and PCs.
All someone needs to do is build the areas, place the npcs, and turn routes into biomes and set the pokemon spawning parameters for each route.
Definitely doable.
That T-Shirt is awesome, the deer sunglasses combo is a total vibe Jesse
That was a really cool cutscene indeed!
The effects of the abilities look phenomenal too!
Great work man.
1 thing to immediately improve this project imho:
Enemy hp top left and your hp bottom right.
People with money enough to stop world hunger VS a guy with a desktop and accessories. really loved this it was awesome!
this man needs to remake the pokemon games!
I'm convinced fans with the technical know-how can make the best Pokemon game ever. Far better than gamefreak.
Messege to all UE 5 content creators: For the love of God, turn off that awful motion blur.
I forgor 💀
crazy how these 3d graphics are so much better than any other 3d pokemon game you were one person that did this GF has a whole team maybe small and they cant do the same thing; kudos to you, you're amazing
This isn't really close to even 3d pokémon's standards, and all of the lighting and textures were made by other people. It's really impressive, but it's not better than what Gamefreak does.
you can add seamless level transitions using a box trigger so when climbing high enough on the last ladder it teleports you to the next scene and you can intro queue start the person climbing the ladder. in case that would interest u :)
Rayquaza was a huge boy on that first encounter lol. Love the size realism
If you release this as a full game, i will literally buy you a 20 peice chicken mcnugget meal.
Obviously what done is done. But for future reference you could have caused the clouds to be part of a storm that starts durring the cut scene or even when you get to a certain point in the cave, which brings the clouds to the player instead of bringing the player to the clouds
Trust me, I know how hard it is to get the models into unreal. I feel this struggle so hard.
wasn't expecting to see the crafsman's figure being used in a game dev essay, nice
Cool graphics, I like how you accurately captured the frame rate of Scarlet/Violet
Such great production! Nice video bro. I’m about halfway through; can’t wait for the end
You worked harder on this than game freak did with scarlet and violet. So freaking cool!!
Yeah pretty embarrassing on the pokemon company honestly 😭 especially with all the money they make it’s insane to me they can’t make their games better or at least hire a better company to make these games
The most accurate part of this is that his whole team got sweeped except for his Blaziken somehow, then he just proceeds to chuck a Master Ball at the thing 😭
This is a really cool concept! I think with more polish it would easily surpass what pokemon is capable of! (in some aspects it already has)
Now THIS is something I would pay for. I love it when a random guy on the internet does something better than a multi million dollar company.
The fact this looks like a less laggy pokemon Scarlet/Violet is really something else. The battle is laggier but the cutscene is frkn amazing and cool
The akatsuki song that you put was fireeee, loved that it’s recognizable
Absolutely incredible. Some people in the world are so talented. Thank you for this
I hope this video can show why some parts of Pokemon SV weren't the highest quality they could've been, because yeah, the graphics for this single location that was made are great, but it's not an entire open world, and interactive map, with a storyline that has to branch off of that map, along with 2 other storylines running alongside it. Not only that, but the renewend move animations, the terastalyzation (Not sure if I spelled that right) animations and gameplay, fully animated cutscenes, and so much more all had to be created, optimized, and rendered in (Allegedly) 3 years, which sounds like a lot of time, but for what the team had to make, what we got was pretty damn good, and I think people are overreacting a bit when it comes to the game's quality.
Yo nice! I did the same but in Unity, but ended up just creating a first person Pokemon Snap (trailer on my profile). Major kudos on getting the battling system going! The daunting task of getting a battling system is what pushed me to just doing the photo mode. Looking forward to more of this project.
After catching the Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza, the Pokemon Trainer from Littleroot performed an honorable 3km dive. The poor guy could not handle the emotional state of achieving your dreams by the age of 14.
It's a bit rough but keep up the good work
Amazing work sensei!
I love it! I think some things like UI and Poké Ball animations need some work, but considering this is a one-man project done in about a month, this is really amazing.
I loved TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin footage. Such a great channel.
Omfg I've been looking for something like this!! It's shocking how few people have done something like this
Please if you're ever able to, it'd be awesome if you made a more in depth breakdown of the blueprints, or if you made the project available to download, cuz I'd personally love to look through the blueprints and see how it all works!
Either way this is awesome!
No one can do any pokemon game, Nintendo is well known for suing fan made games
The man is probably going to get a cease and desist letter from Nintendo next week for making this.
You're a legend, this is dope.
Pretty cool video! Just curious, what are your PC specs? Curious how this would theoretically run on my PC, because there was a ton of slowdown in the cave shots lol
yeah, the slowdown is only on the gpu side because I was using 8k textures, I have a 2060 super
Sootopolis in its apocalyptic state when groudon and kyogre fight would have looked amazing!
If an indie developer like you could make this so amazing, and GF doesn't, it is obvious there are forces behind each Pokémon production that stop from being high quality. You have made what a Pokémon game should stand for in today standards, simply stunning!
I think one thing people forget is that this project is running on a PC and loading a very small segment of the game.
In order for a pokemon game of this magnitude to exist seamlessly, Nintendo needs to upgrade their console to PS5 levels and above. The switch cannot handle today's demands and I don't know why Nintendo dont just make 2 variants of the switch?
One handheld and another big and stationary. The switch would be an amazing upgrade to the nintendo DS lines as a portable platform. While the non-handheld version would be able to compete with modern consoles by having equivalent or better processing power. Then we wouldn't have major AAA titles like BotW and Pokemon dropping frames like crazy.
The "Nintendo hire this man" energy in this video is off the charts damn.
Man the memories when i randomly stumbled on this island after roaming and have finished the game long ago. There wasnt internet for me then, i was 9.
when are people gonna realize that "putting ___ on unreal" won't automatically make a game good
The lack of free switch ins during the rayquaza fight was a small but funny detail cuz it just means the games counting dying as a valid turn.
It looks terrible
💀
Woah this was awesome. Great work man!
This doesn’t look good
I can’t believe Pokémon games don’t look like this , they sell us the same stuff every year and we keep buying it hoping they improved it enough
If I made that switch statement instead of the type table I’d take that to grave 😂
One solution for the cloud problem is low hanging fog. Fog regularly rolls off the ocean basically at sea level, and is close enough to be logically consistent.
