There is no end to the ingenuity of gamers, and the latest example of this is that Pokémon Red is being recreated inside of Minecraft. Redditor MrSquishyYT is responsible, and apparently it is very hard work. In an interview with htxt.africa, MrSquishyYT said this of what's left:
"The biggest is NPC interactions. The game doesn't know that anyone beyond the player currently exists. Adding NPCs will require a whole slew of new systems, such as stores, trainer battles, scripted events, and the ability to interact with objects in the world. [Then there's the] custom functionality for interior regions, such as the arrow puzzles in Team Rocket's hideout, the door puzzles on Cinnabar island, and the slot machines at the Game Corner. Items don't currently do anything, so I'm currently working on redesigning the item menu and adding item functionality both in and of battles."
This all sounds overly meta to us, but clearly there's some great skills and hard work being put into this.
Thanks, VG247.
