If you're wondering why Joel couldn't get into the door in Pokemon Go Go Go, the collision for the door is off by like 8 whole pixels to the right. I had to play it myself to confirm.

*EVERY NIGHT IN MY DREAMS I SEE YOU I FEEL YOU. YOU ARE HERE SO I VERY FEAR. THERE IS SOME HATE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. FAR ACROSS THE DISTANCE AND SPACES BETWEEN US. YOU ARE MY NIGHTMARE.* -Meowth

7:35 Excuse me, but did Meowth just quote the f-ing Titanic song?!

JOEY GET NUT ! JOEY PUT NUT ON ITEMS !

The entire "THEY LIVE!" sequence had me in tears

"you are my nightmare." Meowth, 2022.

"This is not a real Pokémon game.... is it???" Joel sounded so genuine there

Satanic meowth would be a great meme house character

Meowth is saying some pretty heavy stuff in the beginning.

That's it, you're going in the piss-snes

This is the closest thing we'll get to a normal Pokémon playthrough from Joel

41:00 i fucking died laughing, joel could literally stream anything and it would be entertaining

I feel like that Pokemon Diamond bootleg of Telefang is something a lot of people growing up in the early 2000's came across. A friend of mine had it on a bootleg cart that had entirely legit games, except for that. And if I remember right my friend was genuinely convinced it was a legit obscure Pokemon game. Of course we were like 9 years old but still.

"A strange inbetween translation." That's pretty common for Chinese games. Back 10 years ago, if you wanted an English version of a PS3 game that wasn't coming to the west, you'd import the Chinese version. They weren't always the best translation, but at least you could play Aquanaut's Holiday somewhat in English.

I just unlocked a whole fucking part of my brain with that Mario 4 game, that's why I thought Mario Land 2 played a bit different from what I recalled

Bootleg... Joel's channel... THEY LIVE!

By now, I've seen probably a dozen bootlegs of that Smurfs game - and they _all_ have the same gamebreaking bug of the first key not working/existing. Quality™.

1:06:30 alright first one, a hoothoot aka, a wild *HOOHOO*

Take a drink every time Joel says "what is this"

I definitely remember an old translation of Pokemon Gold/Silver from early 2000 as well. My favorite bit was this from a NPC: "This is my Slowpoke. It's so damn slow."

Meowth singing My Heart Will Go On is something I never knew I wanted until now

28:21 that synced up so well

The soccer player screaming on the ground is the realest shit.

48:41 this bootleg is undumped btw

Ngl I really love this kind of stream, reminds me of old joel streams

YAY, finally more bootleg streams!, some of my favourite streams of yours thank you uncle joel

Both of bad translated Pokemon gold had made based on the Japanese version, I guess. In the Japanese version, a number of characters of Pokemon's name had been limited to 5 (now is 6). So Pokemon's name is supposed to be weird to observe that limit. Cyndaquil(Hinoa) is ヒノアラシ(Hinoarashi), Totodile(Wani) is ワニノコ(Waninoko) and Chikorita(Chico) is チコリータ(Chicolita or Chikolita). In other words, the Japanese name was probably transcribed into English and the first five characters were used as the name except some. NUT GET!

"A WILD HOHO APPEARS!"

Manipulated Fetish Games

I MISS SO MUCH JOEL PLAYING BOOTLEGS AND shareEWARE ! THANKS SO MUCH!! seriosly THanks joel! you have me here beggin for more content like this! you are a amazing person ! thanks for everything! you are giving the best for you for years and very greatful! :D keep up for 80 years more to come.

Really cannot wait for the pokemon bootleg playthrough. Couldn't stop laughing 😭

*YESSSS THIS BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES VIATNAMESE POKEMON DAYS HERE WE COME*

15:31 The local synagogue doesn't want Pikachu in

Love that you don't even fight the boss at 31:00 you just jump over it and you win. video game!

Doesn't seem like anyone has done this (or they have but I can't be bothered to check further), so here's all the timecodes for each game: 7:20 - Pocket Monster Go! Go! Go!! 17:08 - Pinball: Revenge of the Gator 21:30 - Super Pika Land 33:33 - Soccer Mania 36:23 - Super Mario 4 43:56 - Digimon 2 48:10 - Pokémon Gold 1:18:28 - Dr. Mario 1:19:19 - World Bowling 1:22:32 - Minesweeper 1:27:54 - Serpent 1:29:42 - Bubble Ghost 1:30:55 - Spot 1:38:03 - Pokémon Diamond (Makon Soft) 1:39:23 - Pokémon Jade (Makon Soft) 1:45:30 - Pokémon Silver 2:00:36 - Pokémon Jade (Telefang) 2:07:53 - Pokémon Diamond (Telefang)

Jottles: "Mario Land is so bad" Mario Land: I have cars, submarines and planes. What do you have sweden man? Also: I don't know about the bootleg, but the original was more fluid and less slippery than SMB3.

How the hell did they manage not to misspell a word as complex as sarsaparilla Also 53:23 in the real translation the protag says something about his mom making cinnabar volcano burgers I believe

Man a lot of the games that joel played in this bootleg are in a bootleg 64-in-1 GBC cart I still have to this day. And just like he said the 64-in-1 is indeed, a scam, it's more like, 30ish games with duplicates with extra lives for a lot of the games.

Holy Hell, A friend of mine has the actual copy of that crocodile pinball game I use to play so much of

I'm VERY envious. I've wanted physical copies of these bootlegs for years and Leurak sent them to you like it was nothing. That's rad as hell.

I still remember Shinchans "Po-Boogiewoogie" and how it was the funniest Sh*t for lil' Babby Me

THEY LIVE!

Joel moving up in the world and getting that sweet, sweet coke brand deal. Congratulations man

I didnt expect david star and pikachu together

Joey boy Arizona shout out! We love our cacti!

Yo, I can't believe Joey went to the same school with that guy who made that quote about a delayed game. Very cool!

if its anything like the gold translation i played back in the day, youll reach a point maybe around unown cavern, where the english stops and you just get gibberish or japanese text instead. im not sure anyone but vietnamese crystal got the whole script done?

Ah I remember when Joey played bootleg games years back, this just reminded me of the nostalgia for these kinds of games (I own space chimps the video game for the Xbox 360)

Little does Joel know, that I own Pokémon Diamond (Keitai Denjū Telefang) with a grey cartridge and also Super Mario 4 (although its on a multicart). The only real winner is the first one to get a physical copy of the German or Spanish Pokémon Jade.

17:34 that’s revenge o’ the gators pinball I love that game. Got a copy of it when I found an old dirty gameboy color with a really crusty battery pack covered in white and green crystallized battery acid in a bin of gundam toys in a multivendor retail store called the pelicans roost in Wilmington. Was able to buy it for like a dollar because it was in such a condition , cleaned it up and got it to run and played the crap outta the pinball game that came with it. Never beat it though

41:08 👀👄

looking forward to pokemon fool's gold

1:47:41 - Holy shit I've had a copy of this since I was a kid I got it from a friend who brought it home for me when he went to Turkey, when the official european english wasn't out yet. I've never seen anybody else play this ever! I've always wanted to dump the ROM myself, but never had the equipment to do so... Funnily enough, the save battery is still good over 20 years later! The translations start out a bit odd and slowly degenerate into the worst gibberish ever, and it's hilarious. I remember one time battling my friend on a real version of gold and it had some pretty fucking WILD glitches and corruptions! All the move and item names were messed up and I remember one of the moves being called TOBACCO

I’m so glad Joel still does these bootleg streams

That fucking Meowth was singing My heart will go on from Celine Dion LMAO. I remember having that game as a kid also.

Think I had the same Gameboy Color Advance Pokémon Gold bootleg cartridge as a kid, I remember being thrilled even with the five-letter Pokémon names and the translator that intermittently gave up, especially towards the end. That's nostalgic as hell, man.

super pika land is actually legit, it was made by a guy who had made a fan translation of pokemon gold a year before the official english release

ＴＨＥＹ ＬＩＶＥ！

Game Boy is region free which is why the Super Game Boy is easier for capturing gameplay.

"He's been stabbed! Call 911! GOOOOOOOAAALLLLL!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Revenge of the Gator is *not* a reskin of Kirby Pinball, it’s a precursor to it.

19:04 Sleeping Eggplants.

Meowth: you are my nightmare Pikachu:damn right I am.

About the game Serpent, the gameplay is a little weird (I like that game for some reason) : - You press LEFT to go 90° on the left and A to do 90° on the right. The B button launch some missiles if you grabbed those. - Unlike a regular Snake game, the idea is not to make the enemy eat his own body but to make him unable to move for a few seconds.

Yes more bootleg games from joel I thought he stopped playing them

Did we ever get "Pokémon Fools Gold" fuller playthrough?

I can't believe Joel made a reference to WOW belt guy

1:42:33 Game Crash Symphony in C 1st Movement 1:42:49 Game Crash Symphony in C 2nd Movement

THEY LIVE

i really hope he plays the rest of Fool's Gold, it's been a year

For anyone who does not know the reference at 22:02 , look up for a video called "Humorous Japanese plays Super Mario while speaking English". I added the video link as a reply to this comment, as I wasn't sure if it would get deleted due to a link.

[ intense othello music ]

i want to see the pokemon fools gold series, i dont see any vods on youtube :(

No, Joey. If the question was in spanish it would have a ¿ at the beggining.

appreciate that one person in chat talking about pretzel motions :3

the first game is just a live feed of pikachu in purgatory

I kinda want the rom for the weird Pokémon Gold bootleg, lol

Pretty sure the point of the 7-Up Spot is a play on the verbage that a refreshing beverage "really hits the spot".

Where the fuck did "boingiboof" come from? Was it just a thing that Joel started saying one day, or is it a joke from a stream that I missed?

17:44 I used to play that pinball game so much as a kid. hah cool. Also back in the day there were "not scam" cardridges like this that genuinly contained like 100 something unique unmodified games.

oh boy oh boy, here we go again ☠️

I've heard Telefang is legitimately good. Maybe there's a better translated one everyone's been playing.

I remember watching this stream live and Chat going crazy over the Pokémon gold radio station. I was in TEARS. THEY LIVE!

Sticking out your Ratt for the rizzler.

when i saw mario land bootlegged as a pokemon, i remembered how my aunt bought me and my cousin gameboy, and i got mario land, i remember how i love playing it and discovering things like trick that lets you pass small gaps by mashing the crouch button while moving forward or the always perfect end-level 1up bonus

1:43:00 - Next gen BSOD

Jobel be briefly forgetting Daisy

Those Pokémon Gold/Silver fan-translations date of a time back when Pokémon games (or games in general) didn't release have a world-wide release, so bootleg copies were rushed to fill the gap until the official localization I remember seeing those all the way up to Pokémon Platinum's release

Joel: It is very Stiff Me: Sorry I can't help it, watching you 😉

combos this stream + some mint ice cream + in the dark with a kinda big moniter and you have bliss

47:40 who knew agumon had such extremist viewpoints

Pokemon Fool's Gold already exists Joey

The Pokémon Mario Land bootleg is actually kind of cute! The Thunderstone replaces the Power Ball, there's some really clean sprites replacing all the enemies, it's good.

32:10 when Joel started to spit out something which involves bootleg Spanish gibberish with Oi Oi, it gotta be funny 1:30:27 jigglypuff at home and on the house 1:42:43 oh fock he got his ears cut off, and the most unexpected game crash singing session somehow happened😂wiv a goofy ahh poke-cum-mon image

Holy shit I legitimately had that silver bootleg as a kid and this is the first time I've seen someone else play it (and Dr Joey of all people!). I knew for sure it was the one because outside of the bizarre corrupted Pokémon names the most vivid thing I remember is YOU FIND.......WOO I got it from a dodgy electronics store in Lanzarote (fun fact, they used acidic ink on their receipts that melted a few hours after buying something) as it hadn't come out in the UK yet. I remember the guy letting me test it to show it worked, but only up to the title screen. I discovered pretty soon why! I was too young to comprehend how there could be a fully functional, brand new Pokémon game that also had the most broken English and it legitimately ruined Johto era Pokémon and subsequently Pokémon as a whole from then on lmao I still have the cartridge but it doesn't seem to boot anymore

I need to know more about those 2D platformer versions of Diamond and Jade seeing how they are not Telefang.

Joel struggling with Minesweeper made me cry a little inside.

The Pokemon gold intro gave me childhood flashbacks of playing it as a kid

I nominate Leurak for all time best Joel watcher

That football game actually looked pretty good for the Gameboy tbh
