[X] My Assistant

[Naixatloz]

So I found this bootleg of Emerald version on YouTube, and after a little digging, I've been playing it myself. There's an ongoing LP of it, but I only watched the first few minutes of the first episode, because I want to experience this completely blind.

The title screen is already promising.


Professor Birch has at least two names in this game. One is this, and the other is seen in the next three screenshots.


Here's the starter choices. I'd already decided beforehand that I wanted Treecko Frog.


Erat attacks by yelling at us! Whatever shall we do?


PantsChild is my new favorite trainer class.


Like Professor Birch, Zigzagoon has multiple names, and neither of them describe it properly. Really, does that look like a rat to you?


I like to interpret this as Daofu trying to hit on me.


Scott poses a strange question.


HIT TO KEY


He breaks the fourth wall, and makes me lose The Game.


Pokedex entries don't seem to have much to them. This is the entirety of Shroomish's entry.


The city of Old Water welcomes you!


I'm not sure whether this was properly translated by some miracle, or the original Japanese version of the game already had this menu in English.


The names of the badges may actually be an improvement.


PantsChild is still my favorite, but TennisMaid is pretty great too.


And here's what became of the easy chat system. They just didn't care.


I have a habit of challenging Brawly before I'm ready, and I'm not sure why I never learn from this mistake. But it was worth it, to see this oddly poetic interpretation of "Alice whited out!".


For fun, I decided to see what would happen if I tried to catch a trainer's Pokemon. The Department of Redundancy Department would be proud.


Finally, here's my favorite renamed Pokemon. I caught a Cascoon just for the name, and would have caught an Abra if I could have found a female.

Honestly, it's probably miles better than Vietnamese Crystal. Such poetic translations. XD

In all seriousness though, that bit of me on the inside is just crazy enough to really want to give it a try because I'm a bit of a sap for bootleg games. They always seem to offer some of the most diamond in the rough kind of material to laugh at and maybe even quote.
