# Pokémon X: native C reconstruction of game logic and field data

> Pokémon X reconstruction rebuilds selected Nintendo 3DS game logic and asset handling in portable C, with an SDL2 field slice for walking, dialogue and wild battles. Its native tools decode local game data, and the analysis notes document a live REA MCP workflow for move-resource investigation. The author reports extensive checks of reconstructed subsystems; the field slice remains incomplete.
