I found old fake Pokemon Games

Something doesn't seem quite right...

You called a Mankey a Meowth and it made me irrationally upset.

[tumbles]

"is that raichu"
"pink mew"
"it's meowth"
Can't tell if I'm being wound up

[dycuo]

I'm Chinese and I used to play the Pokemon Red version showing in the video when I was a kid. It's so hilarious to see in Elliot's video

[MarcusFigueras]

Old bootlegs always intrigued me because there wasn't exactly an effort to replicate the actual style but instead making it appealing.

As a Taiwanese, this video just brings back so many memories. The term "神奇寶貝" is an old Taiwanese Mandarin translation of "Pokemon". However, in 2016, Nintendo aimed to "standardize" the translation across Chinese-speaking regions, so they changed it to "寶可夢", which is just a transliteration of "Pokemon". It's heartening to see that somewhere out there, "神奇寶貝" is still on someone's shelf, bearing witness to history.

That sounds like castlevania game sounds. The whip strikes heart pickups the death music.

[sayuu]

If Elliot ever watched the anime, i bet he could never get the "Who's that pokemon?" during the show.

[PowerSynopsis]

I love that he had to stunt on everyone with his grass energy card. What a smooth criminal.

Elliot after finding a piece of lost media nobody knew about and just peacing out without dumping the rom like nothing happened. Yeah it's a bootleg but it's still lost media

In the last game (the platformer with Raichu) I'll guess all of this:

- The grounds sprites look ripped from Super Mario World
- The music and probably some sounds are from GB Castlevania
- I'm pretty sure the frame around Mewtwo in the game over screen is from the title screen of Super Mario Bros 2

The Pokémon “Green” was probably just Pokémon Blue. It started with the same animation and the sprites are from that game as well. The original Pokémon Green had different (and very ugly) sprites that got redesigned for Blue. Then we got Pokémon Blue sprites for our Red and Blue versions everywhere else in the world.

[HOMERS]

The „Pokémon“ with Ash on the cover of the box, is actually a so called Djinn from Golden Sun(GBA)

[jat]

I have to admit from an artistic standpoint the box art cartridges and manual work are visually gorgeous except for the dodgy game knock off. 10/10 effort with a Gold Star ⭐️

[itfcdhill]

I need to play that Raichu side scroller 😂

[greensun]

7:33 - the music in the game is from Castlevania - Belmonts Revenge, just pitched a little lower.

To this day I watch YT vids like this in hopes to find out the game I played in Kindergarten. It's similar enough to regular Pokemon at a glance, but all you do is throw balls or rocks at some sprites approaching you from the edges of the screen. I know Onyx was one of the sprites, but I don't remember much else anymore. It was what I assumed Pokemon was until I actually played it in 2nd or 3rd grade.

[therosalius]

A Djinn from Golden Sun on the box! X) it's so funny

[LordIvul]

The last game looks like some crazy mashup of Casltevania and Gargoyle's Quest.

[hypnosprojecthq]

I am jealous of those knock off Pokemon carts. I need to keep a better eye on stuff like that - pretty difficult to find online though since most sites don't allow bootlegs like that for sale.

So glad to see all these new videos recently
