Pokémon Brown 3D

3D Remake of the romhack Pokemon Brown (by RainbowDevs) using the Pokémon 3D engine.

Hello there, folks!

My name is JappaWakka, and I'm the main developer for this 3D remake of Pokémon Brown, simply (but effectively) called Pokémon Brown 3D! 😛

4. Open the zip and extract the folder called Pokemon Brown 3D into the "GameModes" folder inside the Pokémon 3D folder (the path would be Pokemon 3D\GameModes\Pokemon Brown 3D).

Reporting an issue

Check the issue tracker.

If your issue has already been reported, please leave a comment to note that you have experienced it too. Note any different circumstances and if possible include a screenshot, video or save file.

If your issue has not been reported, please create a new one. Please include what you were doing before the bug occurred and how it occurred. If you can, please also include the following:

• A screenshot, video or Twitch clip.
• A copy of your save file from before the bug occurred or just after.

Important notes

• Please take regular backups of your save file.
• Please update your game as soon as a beta is released. You will be pinged.
• Remember to back up your save file before updating.

What we are looking for

• Spelling and grammar.
• Continuity issues.
• Lack of direction or clarity, or progression confusion.
• Glitches and game crashes.
• Anything else you think is worth noting.

Gameplay Tips

• While in the Main Menu, you can also move the cursor all the way to the left and change some settings. Select Options and then one of the buttons in that submenu.
• For example, if you want orchestral/remastered music instead of the GameBoy soundtrack, you can enable the Brown3DMusicPack in the ContentPacks menu.
• To return to the Main Menu or cancel anything, you can press the E key or the right mouse button.
• The rest of the settings (like text speed and mouse sensitivity) can only be changed while in-game. You can access the in-game Options menu by pressing the E key after the intro cutscene and selecting Options.
• On the wall in your room, there's a note explaining the controls. In first person you can only move forward (with the W key) and turn (with the A and D keys or the mouse). It's not possible to strafe yet.
• If the first person movement disorients you at first, you can press F5 to switch to a third person perspective, which allows you to move in all 4 directions with W, A, S, and D.

History

Since roughly 4 years (probably longer) I've been in the development team for the fangame Pokémon 3D as a programmer. The main "selling point" of Pokémon 3D (in my opinion) is the ability to see the world from the player's perspective in first person.

Over the years, I've implemented a lot of functionality into Pokémon 3D that makes it possible to create custom campaigns and stories. We call them "GameModes".

So, after finishing my previous project, a 3D remake of the creepypasta Pokémon Lost Silver, I was looking for something bigger to recreate, and I found Pokémon Brown. An attempt at remaking Pokémon Brown for Pokémon 3D had already been made way in the past, but it definitely needed to be massively overhauled.

Now after more than a year of hard work and valuable insight into the development of the romhack Pokémon Brown, Pokémon Brown 3D is (hopefully) finally ready for playing!
