I Made Pokemon Red & Blue but it's 3D 

I'm SUPER down for this! This looks absolutely incredible :D

such a huge project! this is awesome 🔥

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

If this ever becomes playable, I will cry tears of joy haha. Well done!

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!

Please don't stop doing this, these reimagining of retro games are always extremely interesting every single time!

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?

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!

it hurts me knowing that these games can't really be released to the public

SmallAnt: “this RU-vidr challenged me to beat his original Pokémon game as fast as possible”

Using 2d sprites for the battles was definitely the right choice. With the slight squashing+stretching and the rotating camera, it looks really fantastic.

And you do this alone?!? Respect to you and your dedication. This is incredible

i want to play this.

For almost 25 years, this was all I wanted to see.

This is amazing!!! The sheer amount of nostalgia from this was blessed

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😮

He should definitely make a part two everyone would be down for that.

I speak for everyone when I say “of course we want a part 2.”

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.

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 :)

walking around and seeing the massive towers off in the distance looks insane

I got mad respect for for people that make this type of fan projects knowing that Nintendo is gonna take it down if it grows too much.

First video of yours I seen. You earned my sub many times over. Great work on the game, it looks phenomenal.

Outstanding work Cody, as always

But can this be beaten with just a Magikarp?

This is amazing work! Makes you truly appreciate the work that goes into game design.

You made this one year ago and I bet you weren’t thinking that you’d be close to 5 million by now. You definitely deserve to hit 5 million

the animation at the end was the best part!

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!

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

This is such a cool project omg! Thanks for sharing this video with us, it was very interesting! : D I d love to see this project finished one day!♥️

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!

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!!

Dude….way impressive, this is genuinely one of the coolest revamps that I have ever seen, this 3d version slaaaaapsss bro.

omg so geniusly resolved the battle graphics...

I never realized those were supposed to be tree stumps I thought the world of pokemon was just filled with cylindrical pillars of cement everywhere

I suggest filling the empty space between routes with trees so it appears as a dense forest rather than floating platforms. Excellent job so far.

I remember something similar about 10 years ago done for gold and silver, yours is definately more fleshed out and in depth well done 👏

Scary to imagine the amount of time spent, but respect for the remake of Pokemon (ne of my favorite universes)

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

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!

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!

This is such an incredible passion project! Great effort! :D

A very classy way to make fight screen good without build ton of hardcore pixel 3d model, i love how the idea came !

I would love part 2

this is like those TF2 pokemon maps but a whole game

This is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen. Keep it up!

Love this! Thanks for all of your hard work!

I was NOT expecting you to add pokemon or battles. My god, you went above and beyond!

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.

This is super cool, and the right decision to use the sprites for the battles!

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

Man, this is amazing.

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.

Amazing! You did a great job with this!

I'd love a pt. 2 and the possibility to actually play this! The overworld looks great and super fun to walk around in. The battles honestly seem like they could use some work, although I do like the 2d textures made 3d. Would love to see more!!

Cody: asks if we want part 2 Literally everyone: cmon dude I think you know the answer already

Absolutely insane. Funny thing, this is exactly how i imagined it as a kid. Sometimes imagination is better than the best graphics.

Wow, This is incredible! i cant believe you did all of this.

that was a lot of hard work for a beloved classic, thanks. I consider Gen 1, an important part of my childhood

This is mind-blowing. I can't believe you did all this in such a short time. I've spent around 1.5 years creating a pokemon-like game in unity & tutorials on how to make it, but the project is still not complete.

Dude this looks sick, I want a part 2!!!

thanks for doing it! Thanks for making the video! I would definitely enjoy walking around in your world.

Seriously amazing and hope to find it for download at some point.

This is so cool! Thank you for making videos like this!!

This was absolutely 100% worth the wait. This is incredible, thank you!!

Excellent creativity! Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to rest a while from time to time. Excellent project

...and this is where my pea size brain is amazed at all the things I can't do. Awesome job on this. First video I have seen by you and greatly impressed.

This kind if videos make me realize how much of an effort creating a game really requires, respect. 10/10 Also merry Christmas 🤶

You have no idea how much I want to see this project completed, it is absolutely amazing what you’ve already done and if you decide to finish the game, It will certainly be even better. You’re doing a great job!

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.

Dude this is amazing. Please do a part 2 with the rest

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'd love a part two to see a completed game! Building interiors would be crazy hard to make look good!

Omg this is the remake I’ve been asking for thx for proving that it’s possible

This is just awsome!!! freaking awesome if it could be a from for everyone to play!! you got a new subscriber!!

this is so dope

Dude, you put so much effort into that overworld. I’d love to 3D print it.

Just came across your channel by chance…. Subscribed… this was awesome.

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.

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 have nothing to say other than I love you. This is amazing and you're giving the culture exactly what it needs. Never stop, you're the champion

This has a lot of potential to be an actually fun cool game! You could definitely work more on this and make an incredible 3d version of the games

This looks like a ton of fun. The full combat system sounds like the most trouble.

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

great video mate, i really like the part where u talk about persona 5 haha i played that myself it was SO good. i look forwards to seeing part 2 because i played this as a kid.

This is absolutely madman work. Well done

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

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.

This looks incredible! I would love to play this on stream!

Man I'd love to do a playthrough of this! i subbed you're incredible!

Cody may as well create his own retro 3D Nintendo console!

The Pokémon battles look really good and it’s a good, creative way to get around limitations. Good job!

This is cool as hell, dude. Nice work

This is one of the best thing i have seen. Congrats

this is ridiculous. you are literally a one man software company, you loan are doing better than nintendo bro. what a gifted person you are dude!

The most impressive part of this is how much respect you've shown for the original art direction.

Bro, this is amazing! Truely amazing!

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.

This is the coolest Pokémon related thing I may have ever seen … it’s staggering the amount of work you put into this …
