Modder Turns Red Dead Redemption 2 Into Pokémon-Style Creature-Catching RPG

Blurbs says a cleaned-up, OBS-dependent build could follow the demo.

Overview

  • The mod introduces an "Arthur Ball" capture mechanic that lets players attempt chance-based captures of RDR2 wildlife across land, sea, and air.
  • Captured animals become party members with movesets, enabling turn-based battles against villagers and gym leader-style opponents.
  • Players choose a starter from Poison (snake), Water (fish), or Flying (bird), with a party screen to manage the roster.
  • Blurbs showcased development in a stream and video, saying it is not publicly playable yet and that he will try to release it after cleaning the code.
  • The build combines an RDR2 mod with an OBS browser source for UI and audio, has no release date, and avoids original Pokémon assets to stay legally distinct.
