Pixelmon - The Pokemon Minecraft mod
I believe I had a thread on this in the past, but I can't remember and I don't want to be a necro today.
Anyways, anyone else played this? It's basically a straight and pure nostalgia injection. Plus it's a pretty fun monster-capture game which I'm a fan of. Pokemon in 3D, as well.
Some servers have set-ups that are very similar to the games. The server I play on the most (pokeballers.com) seems to have done a superb job in recreating Kanto, plus they have a couple of custom regions. I've been focusing on Kanto, though. The 3D factor has also made Pokemon collecting a lot more fun. The Pokemon can have various sizes, so I often find that I look for the the smallest and/or largest of a Pokemon to capture.
It also has all the other Pokemon game type stuff. Traits/EVs/IVs/whatever other BS the recent generations introduced. Has all of the first generation, plus a ton from the other generations.
Basically it has everything I dreamed of in a 3D Pokemon game as a kid (hence the nostalgia injection).
Here's a screenshot of my smallest Pokemon.

And yes, you can ride certain Pokemon. Some of them fly, some swim/surf.
