ROM hack: Difference between revisions
Being honest, I could believe that bootleg games could have their own page on here, as they aren't technically ROM hacks, rather just illegally-produced games outright.

"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from the original Japanese to Chinese to English (and allegedly sold in Vietnam, giving the bootleg its popular name), the dialogue in the game (now {{wp|Engrish}}) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character, and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. The translation is so poor that the game has achieved a cult status, and is the subject of many popular Internet memes. It was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon. Another well-known playthrough is the one by ''[[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]''. | "Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}.

"Pokémon Adventure" is a bootleg | "Pokémon Adventure" (Also known as ''Pokémon Gold 2'') is a hack of the bootleg game "Sonic Adventure 7" for the [[Game Boy Color]], produced in 2000 by developer Makon Soft. Pokémon Adventure is a platformer game in which the player plays as an anthropomorphized version of {{p|Pikachu}}. The only similarities the game has with Pokémon are the main character and the use of [[Poké Ball]]s as a point system, similar to rings in the Sonic franchise. Many of the enemies do not resemble any Pokémon at all. | ||
====Pokémon Jade==== | |||
"Pokémon Jade" (Unaffiliated with the Telefang hack) was released in 2001. When compared to ''Pokémon Adventure'', the graphics and music remain unchanged from ''Sonic Adventure 7'' although the color tinting is different, and a story is added to the beginning. Once again, the player plays as an anthropomorphized {{p|Pikachu}}. | |||
Unlike the other hacks of the same game, it suffers from a programming error that crashes the game once the first level is completed, making the game impossible to complete. | |||

===Pokémon Diamond Special Pikachu Edition=== | |||
"Pokémon Diamond Special Pikachu Edition" (Once again unaffiliated with the Telefang hack and the real game) for the [[Game Boy Color]] is a hacked version of ''Super Mario Special 3'', a bootleg [[Game Boy Color]] port of ''{{smw|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', released in 2001, likely around the same time as Pokémon Jade. It is a simple sprite hack that replaces {{smw|Mario}} with the same anthropomorphized {{p|Pikachu}} sprite seen in the other Makon Soft titles. | |||
Two versions exist - one in English, and another in Chinese. Both versions are impossible to complete - The English version starts on the fourth level of the original game which a glitch prevents the end block from activating properly, instead summoning out a {{smw|Super Leaf}}, while the Chinese version (which starts on Level 1, as with the source game) crashes after the first level is complete, likely for the same reasons as Pokémon Jade. | |||

===Pokémon Pearl=== | |||
"Pokémon Pearl" (Unaffiliated with the real game) is a sprite hack of a bootleg [[Game Boy Color]] game called ''Digimon 02 Jade Version''. Once again, it is developed by Makon Soft. | |||
In the game, the player, as the same anthropomorphized {{p|Pikachu}}, must fill up a gauge by defeating enemies. | |||
