While reading this blog about bootleg games, I was led to this page of bootleg game images and I saw this funny Pokemon bootleg i'd never seen before: POWERMON, I CHOOSE YOU!

Is it wrong that I acually prefer the pointy eared green sandshrew to the original?

It sort of reminds me of Rex a little. The moon on its stomach makes me think Carebears though.. xD

Also, it looks like they tried to transform Pikachu into a raccoon of some sort, while poor Charmander is a green iguana?!

lol,this is sooo funny
monster redesigns are pure win^^

About powermon I search some information some days ago but i find only two or three images D:
There's no exist other informations about it?

Well, the game seems to be Korean in origin and is obviously a huge ripoff of Pokemon. It's also for Windows 97/98. Since you mentioned there were pictures, I did a google search

Here they are:
Alternate Cover
Another shot of the cover
Powermon Plus (another version of the game?)
A screenshot from the game, plus another Korean Pokemon bootleg with Raichu

Also, here's an unrelated picture I found in the same search, but it's pretty funny: Bidoofados (Bidoof and Gyarados' kid I presume.... xD)

It looks like a fun game,
I wonder if I will be able to play it one day...

Unless your computer is able to support Microsoft Windows 97/98 and Korean games, i'd say probably not. It does look like an intriguing game though. I wonder if it's possible to dump computer games? A ROM would be interesting.

EDIT: Found some more information on Kotaku.com: http://kotaku.com/257000/not-pokemon-powermon

wrote:Don't let Pikachu fool you. This is not Pokémon. This is POWERMON. A Korean knock-off that was released back in 2001 for PCs, it features a fire-vomiting, flying electronic rat that throws baseballs, ice cubes and bubbles

Sounds like Pikachu got quite a makeover Also, according to this Korean blog it is apparently very difficult to install and has bugs (no surprise, since it's a bootleg). From reading around it also seems to be somewhat known in Korea, and most know it's a bootleg of Pokemon (well, I guess it's pretty obvious since they didn't do a particularly good job of disguising the characters anyway).

Woah, that's interesting...I want to search some video about it *w*

EDIT: I find some images!
The game on a computer
Back of the box
Screenshots of powermon plus

Fan art, I think...
Another fan art

Wow, those are nice finds! Where did you search for them?

EDIT: Since this thread has now become a discussion about Powermon rather than Pokemon Crystal, I edited the title and my original post. I'll repost the Crystal information in a seperate thread.

EDIT2: Done! The thread for Pokemon Crystal is now up. By the way Selyte, you're right about the two bottom links being fanart. Pixiv is an image hosting site that has a lot of Japanese fanart and pictures. It's a really good place to look up fakemon as well, the Pokemon crossovers are pretty funny.
