"This man single-handedly cooked 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game Freak in its entirety," Twitter user pory_leeks said in a showcasing the fan-made HD2D remake of Pokemon Red and Blue. Using Unreal Engine 5, designer Dott turned the classic game into something akin to one of Nintendo's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best JRPGs, similar to the likes o💦f Octopath Traveler or 2022's Eiyuden Chronicles.
The one-minute video shows side-on 2D pixellated Red navigating paper doll-like struct🅷ures and terrain; a far cry from the top-down stylings of the original.

"HD2D would be a delightful direction," agreed Twitter user . "It's hard🐟 to imagine Game Freak returning to 2D in any capacity, but if there was a time for a pixel comeback, it'd be for those remakes!"
