Re: Pokémon Green Diamond

[LiamBrady(imported)]

Two years ago, I noticed something in a Pakistan Shop.
It was a box with tons of Pokémon and a big green diamond.
It was "Pokémon Green Diamond".
I HAD to buy it. I hoped that it actually was our lovely Power bootleg.
The woman behind the counter didn't know much about it, but this is what she said:
"Very good game, yes! Very good!" <- Very bad Norwegian
I trusted her and bought the game.
I ran home, grabbed the Gameboy Advance console and started it.

I was shocked. It was a green clefairy and a big text saying "Green".
O... K...
I pressed start.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
It was a platform game with a green clefairy and very annoying music.
The point of the game was 1. Don't die and 2. Gather lots of cake.
The clefairy could shoot japanese text at its enemies if you pressed B.
Right...

I started to wonder what the game was bootlegged from.
I met a blue clefairy and walked at it.
I think I got an extra life or something.
Suddently, the Clefairy turned into a Frog and walked away.
"KeroKero Keroppi?" I thought.

I won the whole game.
Then I searched google for KeroKero Keroppi Games.
Now I know that the game was a bootleg of a NES game.
KeroKero Keroppis Great Big Adventure.
They used a Rom Translator that made the NES rom into a GBA rom.

I used to have a scan of the game box before
I think my MSN.Groups.com site was deleted by MSN.
I had all the info there.
Including the instructions manual that had pictures of cars and babies. :blink:
And, Rachie! I think I sent the box to you some years ago.
Still have it?
Ahahah

Conclusion: The game was kinda addictive, but it sucked

UPDATE 2!:
I scanned the Green Diamond box.

On my summer vacation to the philippines, i played that game. too bad i couldn't play it too long. i was only sampling =P. there was also another game that involved a charmeleon pasted into a side scroller. And another game thats a type of a side scroller that has pikachu. It was easy. especially that you can float by pressing start and going anywhere without getting hurt =P

Wow... it's the first time I've heard of this bootleg, but it sounds dumb. Well, other Pokémon bootlegs aren't much better... do you know if they hacked the ROM when they translated it?

I've heard of that last one before! Are you talking about this one here?

I have heard of a number of different bootlegs that pirates put together from hacks of pokemon games that other people have made and released for free as ips patches like Zel's ShinyGold hack.

They only hacked the sprite of KeroKero Keroppi, the title screen.
There was no need for translation. No text.
They also removed the intro

UPDATE EVERYONE! Look at the first post.
I have screenshots etc.

I remember that, you sent me the rom for it XD It was weird because it was an NES game ported to GBA and the resolution for the two is different, so you could switch the screen between squished or too tall with L and R I think..
