Incredible Concept Video Shows What a Gen 1 Pokemon Game Remake Could Look Like

Nintendo and Game Freak released the first Pokemon games way back in 1996 and although new titles in the series have been released, Gen 1 still maintains a dedicated community. One Pokemon Gen 1 fan recently imagined their own version of a Pokemon Legends title based in the first region and in the Red and Blue concept art style.

Twitter user Pokeyugami posted a clip of their Pokemon Gen 1 project this morning in which they're exploring the Vermilion Forest, one of the early locations of the original Pokemon games. Vermilion Forest is home to many bug-type Pokemon, and it is also the first location Pokemon Red and Blue players can acquire an electric-type Pokemon as Pikachu can be occasionally spotted in the forest. Like other Pokemon titles, Pokeyugami's video shows Pokemon roaming around the environment near tall grass, and a Bug Catcher that typically initiates battle can be interacted with.

Pokeyugami's Pokemon clip begins with Red walking between a Caterpie and Weedle to approach a Pikachu eating an Oran Berry. The Pokemon trainer then comes across a Bug Catcher in fittingly blue gear that initiates a dialogue sequence between the two as Red throws a Poke Ball up and down before the battle takes place. Although Pokeyugami's Pokemon Gen 1 clip ends before a battle between the two begins, it's likely that the two would utilize the open environment similar to how battles play out in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
