## What it is
A native LÖVE2D recreation of Pokémon Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, with the engine and map behavior hand-written in Lua. Game data and graphics are decoded from a ROM supplied by the player rather than shipping copyrighted assets.

## Use cases
- play pokemon gen 1 and gen 2 natively on pc
- recreate pokemon red blue in love2d
- mod a lua-based pokemon engine
- run pokemon gold silver crystal without an emulator
- study a reverse-engineered pokemon game engine
- make voxel 3d mods of classic pokemon games

## When to choose
- you want a native, moddable recreation of Gen 1/2 Pokémon instead of an emulator
- you own a ROM and want enhanced or 3D/voxel gameplay
- you want to hack or extend a Pokémon engine written in Lua

## When to avoid
- you want a faithful, cycle-accurate emulator experience
- you expect the project to ship game assets - you must supply your own ROM
- you need official, Nintendo-supported software

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: game-engine, game, reverse-engineering
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
