'Minecraft' Creation Plays 'Pokemon' on A Virtual Game Boy

  It's not unusual to build elaborate devices in Minecraft however this one is a bit snarky. Reqaug has built a Minecraft machine that plays Pokemon Fire Red for the Game Boy Advance. It's a bit basic at the moment (it's missing combat and dialog, among other things) however, it's impressively comprehensive. You can also modify the level and even replace textures. The creator of the game explains that the whole concept revolves around blocks of structure (a recent addition) which represent tiles in the game. They move when you move. While there's not much here to keep you entertained, Reqaug is quick to stress that his work will always be in development. It's more about putting in the time than whether or no blocky Pokemon recreation is possible. This doesn't require modding. If you have Minecraft 1.10 installed you can try it out for yourself. Don't expect a action game like one of the Super Mario Bros. titles as Minecraft probably won't draw the virtual screen quickly enough to keep pace with the competition. Roof is on fire
