It’s always interesting to see what the Pokemon fan community is up to as a whole. Whether it’s spending many hours hunting for shinies or conducting business by selling Pokemon cards for high amounts of money, fans of the franchise are always occupied with one thing or another. In a recent turn of events, one fan decided to remaster all Generation 1 Pokemon from Pokemon Red and Blue, giving them new life by recreating them from scratch.
Reddit user Red_O_Zone posted artwork of all Generation 1 Pokemon on the main Pokemon Subreddit page, explaining what was going on. According to the user, they recreated all 151 Pokemon from Pokemon Red and Blue and recolored them with their official colors. One important detail worth noting is that all of the Pokemon from the first generation have been recreated pixel for pixel and that it took the user two months of “non-stop work.” Considering that each pixel was recreated as accurately as possible and colored in, saying that the project is impressive would be an understatement.
On top of sharing the project with the rest of the Pokemon community, Red_O_Zone additionally posted a Google Drive link which contained a .zip file consisting of all the Generation 1 sprites (original size), a poster, a three-foot-long variant of the poster, as well as some assets for the poster. For fans of the original Pokemon, especially those who played Pokemon Red and Blue, the artwork is certain to trigger a sense of nostalgia, prompting them to download the file and possibly even compare the sprites to those found in the main games.
Recently, there have been rumors going around that Nintendo is working on a collection of Pokemon games just in time for the 25th anniversary of the franchise. Although some fans believe that the rumors are not true, one of the games listed to be part of the collection is Pokemon Red. If the rumors do turn out to be true and/or Pokemon Red gets a remaster of some sort in the future, then it will be really interesting to see how the sprites will change, effectively falling in line with the Reddit user’s project in terms of accuracy and detail. As of now though, no announcements regarding the game have been made.
Speaking of announcements, The Pokemon Company recently sent out a press release detailing its plans for the upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. According to the press release, there is going to be some sort of an announcement at the event, so Pokemon fans better keep their eyes peeled.
