<p>Nostalgia’s a beautiful thing, but trying to beautifully recreate it with a modern coat of paint is a painstaking endeavour, it turns out.</p>
<p>Darren Rafferty, an animation student from Ireland, has been hard at work recreating the opening to <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/gbc/pokemon_gold_and_silver"><strong>Pokémon Silver</strong></a>, a game from Pokémon’s second generation of titles which launched for the Game Boy Color back in 1999. The opening scenes have been completely reanimated, starring a number of different Pokémon across a variety of scenes.</p>
<p>In total, the project took a whopping 300-400 hours. “I wanted this to feel like a living, breathing world, as opposed to just an animation,” Rafferty says. “And I think it turned out alright, it’s still far from perfect though. Personally I really like the underwater bit where you can see the surface of the water from underneath, thought that looked well.”</p>

<p>Why Charizard gets to take centre stage in an animation for a new generation of Pokémon is beyond us, but there we are.</p>
<p>If we ever do get a <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/the_pokemon_lets_go_series_could_progress_to_johto_if_players_enjoy_lets_go_pikachu_and_eevee">Pokémon Let’s Go Johto</a> game on Switch, we sure hope it gets treated to a nicely redone opening like this. Let us know what you think in the comments below.</p>
