Pokémon Black And White get gorgeous Unreal Engine 5 remake you can play now

I don’t know much, but I do know thatPokémon BlackandPokémon Whiteare among some of the most underrated video games of all time.

Take a look at how Twitch plays Pokémon redefined the platform below!

These are the facts: Unova is one of the best regions. GameFreak pushed theNintendo DSto its limits with gorgeous sprite based overworlds and battle screens. The fact the regional Pokédex consisted entirely of brand-new Pokémon was a bold and brilliant move that made the game feel fresh and exciting game. It has the best story and characters in the entire series.

ArcSin Jesse has released two Pokemon demos on PC (thanks, DSO Gaming). The first takes us N’s castle, the final area ofBlack/White. The second reimagines the Sinnoh region fromDiamond/Pearl, which is slightly less exciting.

While the demos are a little rough around the edges in some places, the fact one person was able to put these together is remarkable. There are even working battle systems in place, andyou can download and play both demosfor yourself right now.

Pokémon fans will know thatBlack/Whiteare next up to get the remake treatment, and while GameFreak has yet to announce anything in that area, it’d definitely be weird ifBrilliant Diamond/Shining Pearlwere the final remakes. My only hope is that when we do getBlack/Whiteremakes, it looks something a little like these amazing efforts from ArcSin Jesse. Watch this space.
