I’m sure you’ve seen just how many countless mods and maps there are for Minecraft however, some seem to stick out a little more than others, like this Pokemon map, which has been in development for over a year.
This map doesn’t require and mods or code alteration, all you need is need is the base, vanilla Minecraft version 1.8.8, and you’re ready to download the map and play it.
Pokémon Cobalt and Amethyst makes use of command blocks, which one of the developers, PureCharlie, says is similar to mods such as Single Player Commands and WorldEdit, but instead, they’re a mapmaker feature that is activated by Redstone.
The map claims to recreate the original Pokemon from 1996 but adds a new region, unique stories, and 136 new Pokémon, mixing creatures like Giratina and Arceus with the originals.
Cobalt and Amethyst is only available in singleplayer, so you won’t be able to travel or battle with any of your friends. Developer Phoenix SC claims the game will take 60 to 80 hours to complete and features “an antagonist threatening to release a legendary darkness that demands tribute.”, so you won’t find yourself going up against Team Rocket, Magma, or any of the other classic gangs – instead, you’ll be working to take down the Suliqu region’s criminal organization called Team Tempest.
If you’re interested in playing Pokémon Cobalt and Amethyst for yourself, you can download the map here.
