Okay, after totally losing steam on Vietnamese Crystal and putting it on hold indefinitely, I thought I was done with screenshot Let's Plays, but I want to do SOMETHING special to celebrate Red & Green's 20th birthday and its re-release. Also, I've always wanted to show more people this masterful trainwreck of a game, and you guys seem like a good place to start!


So, welcome to Pocket Monsters Green Version!

If you're not familiar with this, Pocket Monsters Green Version originated as a regular copy of the Japanese Pokèmon Green. However, someone out there (or a team of someones) had a great idea-- translate the game fully into English, then sell it illegally.

The problem, of course, was that they didn't know English or game programming all that well. What resulted from this was a poorly-translated, buggy, Engrish-filled mess. Yes, this game is absolutely a mess in its current state, but it's a beautiful, charmingly inept mess, and one that I'd love to show off to you guys.

Update 1:

Grerg reminds me of Gregj



This translation is incredible tho. I hope Sun and Moon get it as a tenth language, really.

Wow, that's weird, I had no idea that existed! I've watched a little bit of Steven Georg's stuff, but not that LP. Full disclosure: I got the name "Stets" from a Steven Universe Youtube Poop that always referred to Steven as that by taking the first syllable of Steven's name and reversing it, and I made the name Grerg by doing the same thing to the name Greg. So it's just a really weird coincidence, I guess!

actually i didn't really realize that but you're right

Now I really want to go back and edit my transcriptions of all the Illustrated Handbook entries so they just say "[name], the [title]" because that's definitely funnier

Ah, bad translations.

For a moment there I thought uyou were naming your pidgey succ bc its a Bobo (ie a boob). But no, that reason works too. Btw, Pidgey in Japanese is Poppo, so yeah, basically the same name.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been pretty sick the past two days. It's just too uncomfortable for me to sit at the computer and stare at the screen for the 2+ hours it takes to play and write. I feel like I'm starting to get better, so I may or may not be well enough to make the next update tomorrow. Again, I'm really sorry about this happening right at the beginning like this.
