Hi all, Like many others, I'm blown away with how good the new Opus model is. I was inspired by this [tweet](https://x.com/pokemon_fanss/status/2103046223594668288?s=20) and decided to see if I could turn it into something playable. A couple of hours later, I was able to make this demo! Check it out! -> [https://pokemon-battle-sim-1vq.pages.dev/](https://pokemon-battle-sim-1vq.pages.dev/) I used an image model to create the background but pretty much everything else was made with Opus on high including the SFX, music, and animations. I was able to create the assets by prompting it to recreate the pixel sprites from some reference images and then tweaked stuff on the margins from there. (disclaimer: not affiliated with Nintendo/Pokemon, this is just a fun, free demo made by a fan)
