One dedicated Terraria player has used their creative skills to transform their in-game world into a replica of Mt. Moon and its surrounding areas from the original Pokemon games. While Terraria takes place in a side-scrolling 2D landscape and Pokemon allows for 3D movement with a top-down view, this player utilized their years of experience with the game to make the transition work.
Mt. Moon is located in the Kanto region from Pokemon Red and Blue, although otherPokemon games have allowed the player to go there as well. It's found between Routes 3 and 4, and players will have to spelunk through a cave system in the mountain on their journey between Pewter City and Cerulean City.
The creator of this new fan-made Mt. Moon, who goes by the Reddit handle EaldorPrime, introduced it as part six in their series of Kanto replicas made in Terraria. In order to craft the replica of Mt. Moon using Terraria's building tools, EaldorPrime had to get creative to allow 3D movement in the 2D game. Since characters in Terraria can jump but not walk upward or downward on the screen, the player has filled the area with Echo Platforms, which can be leaped to but cannot be seen under normal circumstances. The creator says they have been playing Terraria for almost 13 years and have logged about 3,000 hours of playtime so far, and impressively, they created this world with no Terraria mods, although they did utilize «a lot for paint.»
The version of Mt. Moon presented by this creator is almost an exact scale replica of the one appearing in Pokemon Red and Blue, right down to the tunnels that lead the player to other parts of the cave system. Probably the biggest difference between the remade Mt. Moon and the original is that the version in Terraria isn't filled with wild Pokemon like Zubat and Clefairy that jump out and start random battles with the player. There is a stand-in for one Pokemon, however, as the creator has opted to use a Lightning Carrot to summon a yellow Volt Bunny to follow the player character around, much like Pikachu would trail behind the main character in Pokemon Yellow. This particular attention to detail seems to have drawn the most delight out of fans who have seen the Mt. Moon build, along with the clothing choices that make the player character look like Ash Ketchum from the Pokemon anime.
While this fan's recreation of Mt. Moon is certainly impressive, it's not the first time a player has added a Kanto location to a non-Pokemon game. Earlier in 2024, another creator shared a stunning replica of the Kanto region made in Minecraft, which goes to show the appreciation players still have for Pokemon's original region.

The Pokémon series has been around for nearly 30 years, so it’s no surprise that its fan base has quite a large age range. While the franchise does have complicated mechanics in place — a vast knowledge of Pokémon states is needed to play competitively and shiny Pokémon hunting has been broken down into a science instead of a surprise — but, as a whole, the series’ story and overall difficultly has always been family-friendly and aimed toward a younger audience.

For more than 25 years, developer Game Freak has found a way to reinvent the Pokémon franchise for each new generation of gamers. Both brand-new Pokémon trainers and seasoned Pokémon masters are captivated by these cute (and sometimes scary) little monsters. Maybe it’s the drive to catch ’em all that keeps players coming back. Or perhaps it’s how adorable these little pocket monsters can be. Whatever the reason, players continue to return to or start exploring the Pokémon franchise.
