Blurbstv has revealed the Red Dead Redemption 2 Pokémon mod on X (formerly Twitter), and the teaser is a thing of beauty. We see glimpses of all the features available in this mod, starting with how capturing works. Just like in Pokémon, Arthur is able to throw Poké Balls at various animals from RDR 2, including bears, dogs, snakes, turtles, lions, horses, and so many more.

Then comes the next bit, where players will be able to battle NPCs with unique types of moves. In these battles, you will also have to face gym leaders, who are members of Arthur's gang. The teaser also shows a battle play out, with very Pokémon-esque elements attached to this game feature. Attack moves such as 'Confusion', 'Body Slam', 'Venom', 'Molt', and more were seen in the video.

There's also a full-fledged YouTube video showcasing how Blurbs is developing and how to play through the mod. Things like replacing the throwing knife with a makeshift Poke Ball, adding UI to add nicknames, and so on. Towards the end, Blurbs revealed they plan to release this mod even though it is a troublesome process; however, no timeline was provided.
