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! (^_^)
  • @VarielAlves
    i really hate nintendo for prosecuting people who do incredible work like this
  • @benb.7839
    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..
  • @ha1d55
    This has BEEN the direction I've wanted GF to take the pokemon games ever since octopath traveler came out, this is ridiculously impressive!!
  • @Cool-Vest_Leo
    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.
  • @SeigiVA
    Ya know, if Nintendo just hired people who did this stuff instead of sending the hitmen, the world would be a better place. Good luck buddy. They will be watching you.
  • 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.
  • @DeliciousJames
    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)
  • 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.
  • @LaytonObserves
    This is so cool, and absolutely the direction I'd want Black and White remakes to go in. Excellent, subscribed!
  • @ToreteX12
    this style is amazing, just imagine how diamond and pearl remakes would have look with it...
  • 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.
  • @julienossola
    The camera for the battle doesnt need that zoom in / zoom out, but amazingly done! Wow. Impressive.
  • @SecretMoonshine
    I wish Gamefreak would have pursued a style like this over “realistic” 3d.
  • @eviewifey
    jeez, this makes me wanna work on something similar, amazing job man.
  • @robunnygirl
    Wait this goes incredibly hard. I'm especially impressed that this was your first time using Unreal too.
  • @Chillestchicken
    crazy that this looks so good! I wish gamefreak (a group of people who have made games like forever) would know how to make a game look this good- and you did this yourself! Absolutely amazing job
  • @LONKULADE
    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)
  • @uhoh67670
    That lighting effect walking across that fire symbol is...well, fire. But seriously, it's small details like that that make all the difference in the end. Great work and well worth showing off!
  • @Raikooo
    I bet this video will blow up. This is one of the coolest fan made Pokémon game concept I have seen in a while. I suggest you make a short video out of it to promote this.
