A fan-created concept imagining a Pokémon game with the battle system of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has captured the attention of players. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a French video game known for its cinematic and immersive gameplay, which has inspired many fans. Over three decades, the Pokémon franchise has evolved through various iterations, from the original Red and Blue versions to recent titles like Legends: Z-A, as well as spin-offs such as Pokémon Pokopia or Pokémon Snap. The idea of a Game Freak game incorporating the battle mechanics of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has been explored by a fan in a video titled "What if Pokémon had the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 battle system?" (which translates to the same title in French). The YouTuber BelmontesArt created a 3D animation using Blender software to illustrate this concept. In the video description, he notes his appreciation for the cinematic gameplay of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and how combining it with Pokémon was a fun experience. The video, which features a battle between Archéduc, Amphinobi, and Dracaufeu against Ultra-Necrozma, lasts less than a minute but has been praised for its staging and atmosphere. Pokémon fans have responded positively, with one user commenting that it was "exactly what I expected for a modern Pokémon RPG" and another expressing admiration for BelmontesArt's work. Some have even suggested that Nintendo should hire him. While the concept remains speculative, there are rumors that the next major evolution of the Pokémon franchise may shift towards a more MMO style, potentially accelerating with the arrival of Gen 10 and taking off during Gen 11.
