Hi all! Kotor here! I've finished my dumb Pokemon fan game, it's now downloadable. You can watch a video about it, and I've also attached the file to this post. You'll need a Gameboy emulator to run it, I recommend Visual Boy Advance (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/gba/vboyadvance.html)

Hope you like it! This is my first time making a game, it's only a small fun project, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I "Ported" Pokemon Sword's First Town to Gameboy (Playable Download in Description)

Okay, first things first: no, this is not a real "port" of Pokemon Sword and Shield onto Gameboy! It's a fan game that recreates the first town from the new Switch Pokemon games onto Nintendo's original handheld, using some sprites from Pokemon Red and Blue! This is just a dumb fan project I made over part of the weekend and have barely finished. That said, it is an actual working Gameboy ROM that you can download and play for yourself! Not everything in the game has been shown off in the video, so there are more than a few surprises waiting for you! I've never made a game before. Earlier in the year, Chris Maltby released GB Studio, which is an incredible tool that lets you make your own Gameboy games. It's designed for adventure games or walking simulators, but some people have got basic RPG battle systems working on it too. I kept things simple for my conversion of Pokemon Sword - it is definitely Sword and not Shield, as I chose to put in Bea as the gym leader. This probably won't take more than half an hour to play through in its entirety - probably a lot less time than that. There's also no end goal. Just wander around and enjoy a quaint English village where nothing ever goes wrong and nobody ever leaves... Anyway, here are some links to things you'll be needing: DOWNLOAD THE GAME: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DUVRusMNqealXGByJHlFjaYIYsP3j7Ji DOWNLOAD VISUAL BOY ADVANCE EMULATOR: http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/gba/vboyadvance.html DOWNLOAD GB STUDIO: https://www.gbstudio.dev/ DOWNLOAD DEADEUS BY IZMA: https://izma.itch.io/deadeus Hope you enjoy! Please give me any feedback you may have, positive or negative! I want to hear what you think and what I can improve on! Also, please share this video widely to help more people play the game. I'd appreciate if you share a link to the video and not the direct link to the game file as it makes me feel happy with our video views go up! Thanks, Kotor (BretonStripes will be back for a normal video on Friday)
