Visit Phoenix Projects to download the map and access a walkthrough, in case the change to Minecraft controls interferes with your well-honed Pokemon instincts. Series mainstays like the rival character and a helpful professor also play an important role. The story concerns the machinations of an antagonist bent on releasing 'a Legendary darkness', and the player will have to contend with Team Tempest as they seek to prevent this calamity. It's vanilla Minecraft, tweaked and repurposed for Poke-ventures.Ĭobalt & Amethyst is set in an all-new region with 136 unique Pokemon rendered in beautifully blocky forms. Recreating Pokemon in Minecraft is impressive enough, but this one was done from scratch - no external mods were used in pulling it together. It presents a fully playable Pokemon adventure in the style of the core series - except you can freely explore the 3D world. Pokemon Cobalt & Amethyst is a single-player Minecraft map build over 2.5 years by a modding team called Phoenix Projects. There are loads of good Minecraft mods out there, and plenty of them are Pokemon-themed, but few are as ambitious as this one. Pokemon fans and Minecraft modders pull off an incredible feat.
