While my heart will always belong toPokémon Platinum, the remakes of the Gen I games come in at a close second for my affection.
Who knows what The Pokémon Company has in store for us with the next title,Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the teaser of which you can check out below.
Now a remake ofPokémonFire Redmade withUnreal Engine4 can be played online, and it’s bloody gorgeous.

It’s calledPokémon The Legend of REDand it reimagines the Kanto region in glorious 3D, more so than thePokémon: Let’s Gogames as it’s open world.
Stylistically, it’s actually similar to thePokémon: Scarlet and Violetgames, as the Pokémon can roam free outside of their Pokéballs, accompanying you on your journey.
The remake also features real-time combat rather than the turn-based combat found in the original Game Boy Advance games.
At the time of writing, the project is not yet complete and unfortunately it’s existence will likely be short-lived as Nintendo is renowned for striking down anything that features some of its IPs, even if they’re fan games.

We saw a similar story withPalworld, the Pokémon-inspired monster battling game that dominated theSteamcharts for a short while.
Unfortunately,Pokémon The Legend of REDwill likely suffer the same fate, regardless of it just being a demo at the time of writing.
Hopefully not though, as it’d be great to play the finished product, for free, on PCs if it’s ever finished.
