<p>The possibilities in <a href="http://ift.tt/1mujeXx">Minecraft</a> seem endless, with players building <a href="http://ift.tt/29lxSV1">incredible creations</a>, such as the <a href="http://ift.tt/1nfHSBP">entire map from Grand Theft Auto V</a>. Now, one player has built a working Game Boy Advance, on which you can play a simple version of <a href="http://ift.tt/29ly4ny">Pokemon FireRed</a>.</p>
<p>YouTube user <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiQWDfPm-tMIe8ZR7pAMufQ">Reqaug</a> posted a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5DwPgYp6vk">video</a> of his creation, showing what you can do with Minecraft&#8217;s newly-added structure blocks. Although you can currently only explore a small part of the world, Reqaug says he&#8217;ll work on an update to bring Pokemon battles to the virtual handheld. You can see what he&#8217;s got so far in the video below.</p>
<p><p>You might notice that it doesn&#8217;t run quite as smoothly as the real version of the game. Reqaug has tried a couple different methods to help speed it up, including an increase to the tick rate, which they say doesn&#8217;t increase the render time.</p>
<p>&quot;So far I&#8217;ve found Optifine is by far the best option,&quot; they said. &quot;The device can be improved by making each tile smaller. For example, you could make a texturepack where one block represents one tile. This way, fewer blocks would be placed when walking around, thus making it quicker and reducing lag for most people.&quot;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear if Reqaug will be able to improve the speed as work progresses on the Minecraft version of Pokemon. Even though Reqaug says they&#8217;ll continue work on the project, they&#8217;re &quot;almost certain it will never be complete.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;I want to dedicate time to other projects as well,&quot; they said. Some of Reqaug&#8217;s previous Minecraft creations include <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NTh7hiuJn8">giant, detailed weapons</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFz3gHFpjpg">a working Space Shot ride</a>.</p>
<p>In related news, an official Nintendo-Minecraft crossover happened earlier this year in the form of the <a href="http://ift.tt/25PJLXj">Super Mario Mash-up Pack</a> for <a href="http://ift.tt/Wm5bMQ">Wii U</a>. Xbox head Phil Spencer said <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/730055390470144001">the partnership between Minecraft owner Microsoft and Nintendo was &quot;great&quot;</a> and that it was &quot;nice to see Minecraft doing so well on the Wii U.&quot; However, it wasn&#8217;t all sunshine and rainbows, as the Nintendo crossover DLC <a href="http://ift.tt/1O2mDQO">led to copyright claims on YouTube</a>.</p>
