Okay, the best part of that box is definitely Electrode being the mascot.

Voltorb is also used as the mascot on another bootleg of the same game too:

I'm presuming it's by the same pirates. Seems like they were going for evolutional progression with the boxart maybe?

That's what the actual box looked like though... maybe the Electrode was just an attempt to recreate it XP?

Sorry, I didn't realise that the voltorb was present in the original boxart ^^; I knew it was the same as the official Japanese boxart, but I thought the voltorb likeness had been added in by the bootleggers. For some reason, I remembered it as being the TCG symbol for Fire type Pokemon instead of a voltorb in the center.
