Pokemon Jade

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in Finder's Keepers (it isn't a recent purchase). I just wanted to talk about/shed some light on this oddball item in my collection.



When I was a kid we were visiting family in Germany and we found this bootleg game - labelled Pokemon Jade - for 3 euros. As a kid I was excited because I thought it was some rare Pokemon game. Turns out it wasn't - it's a bootleg of a game called Ketai Denju Telefang. Imagine my surprise as a kid when the creatures were cussing at me.



Bootlegs aren't unusual to find, what I find interesting about this game is the effort they put into the box itself. Pictures attached.

  • Yup, seems there are several others out there besides this one.
  • My favourite is forever Pokemon Cock Version.

    I couldn't get into the cock version personally. Just left forced after awhile.
  • I like it!



    Actually, if you were to take a trip with me to my local gamestore you would be AMAZED how many bootlegs come with full custom designed boxes over here. Sometimes they attempt to exactly copy the real deal, other times they are going for their own thing.



    Bootlegs are truly an art form into themselves, once you get a taste for them!  
  • I love bootleg carts, got thousands of them I'd guess. I prefer this stuff over the real ones, in a lot of cases

    Very neat item!
  • Very cool. I remember this being one of the first well-known Pokemon bootlegs alongside Pokemon Diamond Version (before the real DS title.)



    I always found it hilarious that that deer character on the cover is the spirit from Princess Mononoke. Thanks for sharing.  
  • It's weird to see the box for it, every time I see one in the states, it's always cart only.
  • A recent one I played is Pokemon Outlaw. That one is so enjoyable and actually a finished hack. Basically, Outlaw is heavily involved with drugs. I agree though, Cock version is a "masterpiece". LOLOL



    I do have two bootlegs that have a box and even sealed for some reason. They are Pokemon Darkcry and Pokemon Naranja.



    There are so many Pokemon hacks out there which I never even heard of Jade lol. Thanks for sharing!
