wut? is this real?

gross desu

>>3850239

>>3850241

>>3850245

Seems like a neat idea, but I have no problem with the graphics of the original games and see no reason to make them 3D.

this looks pretty spooky actually. Its like a post nuclear fallout japan or something.

>>3850259

It feels like they're missing an art direction for their 3D character models. They could've totally done it more stylishly than this.

What is this? Any more details besides the screenshots? Is this a fan made thing?

https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/what-if-pokemon-rpg-for-nintendo-64-just-some-mockups.458871/

Found it. They're mock-ups.

I guess OP just wants us to discuss what we would think of a Pokemon Demake.

Frankly I think exploring a 3D world is more immersive than a 2D top-down world. I'd like it, but as I said earlier the low-poly models would have to be done more stylishly.

Fan-made proof of concept for an n64 port of RGB that was a real thing before it got cancelled. Its battle system eventually became Stadium.

>>3850247
>not wanting pokemon stadium: the rpg
the overworld is expanded too

I get that this is just a Unity mock-up, but I'd play the fuck out of this if it ran on an N64.

>>3850232
What is this a fan game or something?

>>3850269
>Cycling Road isn't rendered as a downhill bridge
Reee and all that

>>3850249
Looks pretty comfy desu

>>3850232
When I was really young and just had Pokemon Stadium I used to think that if I had a transfer pak and a gameboy cartridge I could play the games in full 3D.

I used to imagine things exactly like these pics for hours, pretty damn interesting and nostalgic, thanks OP.

>>3850965
This.

....wow

i would've lost my life even harder to this than I already did when I played it on Pokemon Stadium with the transfer pack on the big screen

>>3850249
That's pretty impressive for N64

>>3851168
not really

>this is still the type of pokemon game we've all been wanting ever since we first got introduced to the series.

>>3850965
>>3851073
The source linked upthread mentions that:
>The Route 17! This one was also kinda rethinked, I didn't know if the level designers intention was to really make a bridge or they only made this for the anime series.

>>3851174
This. I also imagined that you would control the pokemon in real time during battle.

>>3851174
hope for the switch
apparently there's gonna be a Red and Blue remake just like this but HD

>>3851178
They finally made it into a proper bridge in Heartgold/Soulsilver...

>>3851246
I didn't plan on getting the switch, but if they do something like that, it could sway my interest.

>>3850232
WHY NO ONE DEVELOP GAMES FOR ACTUAL N64 HARDWARE HNNNNNGGG???????

I mean sure it's really hard but it would be something made with love and it would feel so right working on an n64. Fuck.

>>3851178
>>3851250
Well Gen 1 has the guard rails on the floor tiles that indicate some sort of bridge, but it was always illustrated as a drawbridge for boats to reach Vermilion City.

>>3851274
Because no one has the hardware to develop for the 64.
We have the official dev tools, but you still need a SGI indy to use them.

Progress is being made though.

I assume there is additional hardware? The SGI Indy isn't exactly uncommon.

It's a shame we didn't get a console version of the RBY games. By now Nintendo realizes Pokemon is 75% the reason most people buy their handhelds and will probably never allow it.

>>3851605
But Switch is their handheld.
They gave up on the home console market.
That's why they made the Switch, so its "both."

>>3851627
not really a handheld system if it only has 3 hour battery life.

>>3850257
>L button

>>3851627

They have come out and said they will still continue the 3ds stuff though.

>>3851660
It uses an updated 3ds kernel.

>>3851660
Thats the same as the 3DS

>>3851667
They also said the DS would not replace the gameboy line.

The Switch isn't a console, it's a portable system. It's not meant to be a console. I mean it uses tablet hardware.

>>3850238
Where is this supposed to be?

>>3851756
those bridges that lead to snorlax south of lavender town

>>3851660

Underage detected. This is a man who never burned 6 AA batteries for a solid 40 minutes of Sonic the Hedgehog.

>>3850247
Regardless of opinions I would say this was and still is a huge missed opportunity. Think of how massive the Pokemon craze was at the time. Now imagine if they made a Pokemon adventure game for the N64 at the time.

Highly likely it would have without a doubt been the highest selling game on the system. So much so it would have sold more consoles then what the N64 ended up selling. I know back then what I would have really loved would have been a console Pokemon game because at that time I was obsessed with the franchise.

Even now I feel a Pokemon adventure for their consoles could be huge. Yeah I get that Gamefreak wants to keep the franchise on handhelds. Just saying here is all.

>>3851826

I think they missed their window. What I saw actually was GameFreak saving Pokémon in consoles for one of those big turns on the whole industry, or to when they absolutely NEED to make money. The problem is that the expectations got to high, the costs for a open world game became to high, and AAA gaming became to expensive, and maybe they lack the financial and human power to make a open world pokemon game.

>>3851681
Fuck you I'm still waiting for a 2d only gameboy.

>>3850276
It's far too barren for a 3D game. Even by 5th gen standards.

>>3851819
oh yeah forgot about the gamegears 1 hour battery life.

>>3851761
Oh okay, I see it now.

looks cool

>>3851295
You don't need an SGI Indy for anything but the oldest N64 dev tools. The SDK that leaked works on Win9x.

The real reason there will never be much real homebrew for older 3D consoles is 3D is hard when you can't just deploy a piss easy framework like Unity.

>>3851819
Ah yes, how can anyone forget the fact that everyone who didn't own a game gear is underage?

Although made on a non-retro engine, I believe this belongs here as it counts as fanart of retrogames.
I loved it, even though it lacks art direction. Reminds me of Mother 3/Earthbound 64 but a bit more detailed.

I personally would use pre-rendered backgrounds for a 5th gen Pokémon game at least on the cities. Would look better.

>>3851174
Yeah. That's what I wanted and that's what Nintendo should have done, at least on Game Cube or at least for some areas in Stadium. Not Colosseum or XD.

>>3851213
Pokken came too late. Just imagine how much money Nintendo would print if they released Pokken around 2000.

>>3851681
The new Game Boy is the Switch

>>3851246
Absolute, not confirmed and made up by fans bullshit just like "Pokémon Stars". There ARE a lot of references to the Kanto Region in S/M, I'll give you that, but so far there's not a single official word on a possible R/G/B ReRemake.

>>3851889
mystical ninja was barren as shit and that game was amazing

Go back to /v/ you shitposting asshat.

My advice: Call it "Pokémon Go 64" and rip off the ball throwing mechanic from that game plus maybe the evolution and gym battle mechanics as well.

>>3850276
It may be a shit for actual me, but as a kid I would literally kill to see that game

>>3850249
>Those water textures in a N64 game

Yeah, no

>>3852936
No

>>3854021
That's honestly how I feel nowadays about fangames. I used to be able to play any of them endlessly, but those shitty browser games and mobile Gacha games made me immune to the obsession.

Overall this looks comfy if it is it's own adaption instead of being a straight 3D copy/pasta. Along with making it comfy, like Hey You, Pikachu aesthetically felt.

>>3854062
I remember spending a lot of time navigating through pokemon stadium 1 and 2 menus. They usually were 3d environments and they look like sugimori art on cell shading.
I felt like in a fucking pokemon r/b/y 3d simulator.
It's weird, but sugimori art has some mystic and immersive thing that anime only had in certain moments, but didn't had for most of the time.

>>3854079
Yeah, that's mainly what I miss about 90s Pokemon was Sugimori's retro art-style. Without it, it just feels like every other souless eastern RPG.

>>3854126
>feels like every other souless eastern RPG
I wish Sugimori-fags would kill themselves. I really do.

>>3851681
They didn't. The Switch is the new Gameboy

>>3852410
Dude look at Alolan variation mons.

All Gen II, all got Dark/Dragon/Fairy typings (Geodude line excluded because...)

You know why right? Because these types are vastly underrepresented in Gen I, making them brings type diversity.

They're going to remake it. With some excuse of "someone from Alola brought them over".

Geodude line is so they're be a magnetic hill area for those Eeveelutions.

>>3854136
>rants about sugimori
>posts dbz
You can't fucking understand DBZ without Toriyama, you moron. That's why nobody fucking stands modern iterations of the franchise.

>>3850232

I would kill for a game like this on my childhood.

>>3852936
What a surprise, a tripfag says a stupid thing.
