Pokémon Red reimagined as Square Enix HD-2D game by fan

Recently, a Pokémon fan has created an impressive HD-2D version of the original Game Boy games in Unreal Engine. The 3D pixel artist and designer Dott have shared several videos showcasing their take on what Pokémon Red might look like if it were reimagined in an HD-2D style similar to recent Square Enix titles like Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler.

The design has sparked excitement among fans, who are curious about how future Pokémon remakes could be made, especially after the rather lacklustre response to 2021’s Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and more general gripes about the series’ visuals in all-new entries.

Dott’s videos show various locations from Pokémon Red, remade in Unreal Engine, alongside their original Game Boy counterparts. The videos take the viewers through a look inside the player’s house and around Pallet Town, and a further section that shows off a remade Vermilion City.

While some fans may prefer the 2.5D attempts at translating the series’ earliest incarnations for modern-day audiences, there’s something about the hazy, bokeh backgrounds, and pixellated 2D sprites that seem to suit Pokémon better, according to some fans.

It’s important to note that while these videos were created in Unreal Engine, Epic Games has warned users not to use its new game creation toolkit for copyrighted content, including recreating Pokémon games. Despite the warning, some fans have attempted to create their own remakes of the game using Unreal Engine.
