So, I recently began a new world in Minecraft with the Pixelmon mod. I've been playing it for about 2-3 days and I really enjoy it so far. For those who have never heard what this mod is; it basically adds Pokémon aspects into Minecraft.

From what I can tell, all of the first 151 Pokémon are available as well as some Pokémon from the later generations.

I saw this mod a long, long time ago (at least I think it was this one and not the other really similar one) when there were only about 30 or so Pokémon and they were seeking folks to create models for the rest of Generation 1, which was their original goal.

I was rather interested in trying it out but never bothered to, as that was around the time I lost interest in modding it (see below). Regardless, I think they did a pretty nice job with it, particularly with how much work went into making the Pokémon themselves actually function like they do. I may try it out someday if it's still supported and functional.

(Of course, like all Minecraft mods--and this applies to Minecraft itself--my problem is that updates tend to kill them. You have to know the exact version of Minecraft and exact version of the mod to use your old worlds again without breaking the worlds, often irreversibly. Sadly, this problem will likely not be fixed until Minecraft itself either adopts a standard unchanging format, which is not bloody likely, or is no longer being updated. Updates have ruined two worlds of mine because the mods never were updated.)

Ahh yes, I have been playing this a bit too recently. Well... as much as I can because my computer cannot run it very well, sadly. *Sighs* But I've not seen to many pokemon but I've been pretty darn amazed by what I have seen! I am still trying to learn the controls, however. But that's probably just from me being a Mod-Noob. >w<;;; But I REALLY hope they continue to work on this mod and make it include more Pokemon and fix the bugs that are or may currently be there. It'd be neat if they could turn it into a server mod as well, thouuugh that'd be pretty intense. But hey, who knows!

can u play this mod on the pocket edition? or on the ipod at all?

I saw Youtube videos of this before, but since I don't play MC on the computer, I've never tried it.. If it was possible for Xbox 360 I'd play it for sure.

I doubt that will happen anytime soon, as that would require being able to reverse engineer an XBLA game, which is something Microsoft doesn't want. Maybe if they eventually get to adding the modding API like they were supposed to almost a year ago.
