Modder Turns Red Dead Redemption 2 Into a Pokémon-Style Creature Battler

The creator plans a public release after code cleanup due to the mod's OBS-based setup.

Overview

  • The project has been demonstrated in development videos and streams but is not yet downloadable, and no launch date has been set.
  • Blurbs says the mod relies on OBS for its UI and audio layer, and it will require OBS to be installed even if players are not streaming.
  • The planned release is framed as legally distinct, with original Pokémon music and sounds removed to reduce intellectual-property risk.
  • Features include an Arthur Ball capture mechanic, starter options like snake, fish, or bird, party and moveset menus, and turn-based battles initiated by targeting NPCs.
  • Arthur’s gang act as Gym Leaders, and captures range from turtles and horses to showcased legendary beasts such as an elk and the Bullgator.
