When I was a kid, I always wanted to make a Pokémon game. I tried out Sword and Shield in 2020, and didn't love it... So I decided to make my own game to see if I could do it better. How did I do this? Hacking Pokémon Fire Red.

I might do some more videos on how to script, how to make tilesets, how to map, and how to make music. We'll see!

This is the first video on my new channel! I want to do more stuff like this... if you like it, please subscribe!
