Red Dead Redemption 2 is now a "legally distinct" Pokemon RPG thanks to one modder who has turned Arthur's gang into Gym Leaders and wildlife into formidable foes

Seven years have passed since Rockstar Games blessed us with Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, but creative fans aren't done adding to the action-adventure gem via mods – including one that adds a bit of Pokemon flair to the mix. If you've not seen it yet, content creator and ex-software engineer Blurbs has outdone himself with yet another ridiculous (in the best way possible) mod. This isn't his first time conjuring up something brilliantly wild – after all, he has previously created a real-life version of Oblivion Remastered's persuasion minigame – but it's certainly one of his most impressive creations yet… It's a Pokemon-style mod that overhauls Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 modders unveil "ambitious recreation of the Mexican territory from RDR1" that "stays true to the canon" of Rockstar's sequel – and it's basically "a full-fledged DLC" New Red Dead Redemption port on the way to a bunch of new platforms, including Switch 2 and Netflix, promising "free upgrades" and "a number of enhancements" Red Dead Redemption gets a new ESRB rating for Switch 2 and current-gen consoles, hinting at another re-release for Rockstar Games' cowboy epic Turtles, skunks, horses, dogs, and even fish (no, not Magikarp). There are even "legendary" beasts to capture and tame, like the elk Blurbs goes for while showcasing the mod. All in all, it looks as fun as it does hilarious – a mashup of Nintendo and Rockstar's greatest games that I never thought I'd see playing out in real time. I might just be able to play it myself someday as well, should the stars align. Excitingly, Blurbs is planning to release this mod to the public – but he "will need some time to clean the code up." It's also important to note that the mod "specifically works in tandem with streaming software." You can play it without streaming the game, as the creator clarifies, but you need to have OBS (a streaming software) installed for it to run. There's no launch date set in stone yet, though, but Blurbs will announce one when he's able to. Need something to tide you over until then?
