Roughly, Game Boy = NES. Game Boy Advance = SNES. This one was made recently, so much larger cheaper carts can be made vs back in the day. It has 150 (+1?) large data cost sprites. If you swapped the large data sprites for a generic symbol of the type (a rock, lightning bolt, water fountain, leaf) with a subname of (onyx, Pikachu, squirtle, venosaur) it'd work on the small cart.

Pokémon X an Y kinda did something with this idea, but much more convoluted. In some wild battles you would see rocks or trees behind the wild Pokémon. If you use a move that hits multiple targets, it would break the terrain and you get an item drop (usually a berry or stone). Of course It wasn’t really brought attention in game, so not a lot of people know about the mechanic.

About the "magic pixel" - it happens when the developer doesn't code in an exception for the health bar to always exist until HP falls to EXACTLY zero. If the percentage is low enough, and the health bar isn't wide enough, you can get situations like you saw in the Elite Four, where the health bar is entirely missing, but whatever it represents still has a tiny amount of health remaining.

@marhawkman303 9 ай бұрын

Yeah, my thought was that the HP bar is in chunks, 1 chunk per pixel. but in this game the last chunk is only shown if you have that much or more HP. If you have only 1 HP... it might not be enough.

This game isn't even the only version of Kanto on the NES, Waixing did a Pokémon Red port that uses the original graphics, but that one isn't nearly as good, and yet another company did a port of LeafGreen that also uses the FRLG graphics and has a more faithful version of Kanto but is split into three parts and uses Hoenn music.

I have to disagree with your opinion on statuses. The ability to overwrite them messes with a lot of the strategy involved. Using a slow, defensive Mon to absorb an incoming thunder wave is great because it means that Mon can't be toxic'd later on. Also, if you know they have a dangerous sleep move, like a Breloom with Spore, it's good to know that a mon that already had a status is essentially immune to Spore.

I love how the translators handled the Pokemon types; since they're each represented by a single symbol of Chinese text in the original bootleg, the translators used the Pokemon TCG type symbols, since they would fit perfectly. This means there are some unusual details, like the Dragon type icon, which wasn't added to the TCG until 2012, which takes the port out of its 2005 context, as well as brand new symbols for types like Ground, Flying, Bug, Poison, and Ghost, which wouldn't get official icons (outside Pokemon Ranger and other edge cases that wouldn't carry their designs over) until Pokemon GO. This visually dates the translation to before 2016. I'd actually be really curious to see the symbols the translators made for Rock and Ice, as those were the only two types I didn't remember seeing the icons for in this edit. I'm also just assuming they used the Steel-type icon from the TCG, since even though I didn't see that either, that was made at the same time as Dark-type.

It could've been so easy to half ass it like 99% of chinese manufacturers do "OH LOOK PLAY AS GOKU VS KERMIT THE FROG IN OUR FIGHTING GAME 99999999 IN ONE". But these guys were tasked to port a *gameboy* game into a *NES* and they put *effort* into it. Look at that beautiful spritework. Look at the way they made animations work. While it still shows its a bootleg with the way battles work and how grindy it is, honestly? This deserves more recognition. These guys had one job and they put WAY more effort than they needed to. And we should appreciate that.

Thank for explaining to everyone what Dendy is. Most people nowadays don't even know such pirates consoles and games existed. I personally spend all of my childhood with one

I was on the fence whether or not to buy a copy as I got a handmade portable NES that works pretty well. I think I'll get this game now! Also I found it interesting that bootleg games were the work of a company instead of an individual. Great vid!

Feels like the online non official battle mode with how far the pokemon are from one another

Okay, but that Dendy mascot is the stuff of nightmares, its like some freakish hybrid of a drowzee, Ness and Dumbo 😂

I would love to see the gen 3 version as a video as well as a Prof. Oak's challenge of both Gen 1 and Gen 3 as videos as well. You've got a sub from me!

This was really surreal for me, having played and watched these games so many times. Please please do the Gen 3 games too, I would love to see that.

You narrate these pokemon battles very well, the pacing of how you describe what's happening makes this a really high-quality video.

The wild drops mechanic is actually insane. They need to put that in official games

It's based on the pickup ability

@@bewearstar9462 Pick up just happens based on chance though. Getting drops from wild pokemon would be much cooler imk

Ok, AI and damage calculations are a little weird/ difficult to plan for, but it's amazing that this bootleg is actually better than the original and years ahead with the HM system. Ok, and wild Pokemon dropping rare items is broken 😅

As someone who still has a working gameboy cartridge of Yellow, this port gave me a major headache with all the differences. Most differences are cool though.

Yo quick obnoxious pedantry: “errant” means “erring or straying from the proper course” Considering your enemies’ “Proper course“ would’ve been *hitting your Pokémon*, I would argue that errant might not be the best word in the context that you used it a few times in this video Great stuff tho, this was super entertaining and cool to see!
