Google's Gemini AI Completes Pokémon Blue with Human Assistance

Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model has successfully completed the classic 1996 video game Pokémon Blue, marking a notable achievement in AI capabilities. The feat was accomplished through a project led by independent developer Joel Z, who utilized an "agent harness" to provide the AI with enhanced game state information and facilitate decision-making. This setup allowed Gemini to interpret game scenarios and determine appropriate actions, such as selecting moves or navigating challenges.
