"I'm Jack Frost, ho! Nice to meet ya, hee ho!"





This isn't just any Let's Play of Pokemon Green. We are playing Bootleg Green, which is a poorly translated bootleg of the original Green version. For those who are familiar with Pokemon Vietnemese Crystal, this game is pretty similar. There was a Let's Play done of VC by Epee Em back in 2011.

This Let's Play won't show everything in this game, mainly just the things I found funny or people we have to talk to. There will be thread interaction in the form of naming. There is a lot of typos in this game (obviously), but not all of them are related to typical bad translation. Often, there are a too many spaces, no spaces, and cut off words that are continued on the next line. For the most part, I will just auto correct those if they aren't in an image.

Thread Rules

1) Spoilers are fine. Pokemon games aren't exactly known for mind blowing plots. Besides, almost everyone has played Red/Blue/Yellow/Fire Red/Leaf Green. Even if they haven't, they likely won't be able learn the story in this thread anyway.

2) Follow the normal Lets Play Thread Rules.

Hm. Let's have quick dialogue speed and pass on the cartoons. The cartoon was never as good as the games after all.



Much better.



o the world of pocket monster! My name is Aochider I was called. Dr. Pet was loved and esteemed by us all!



called as pocket monsters live in every corner! The creature named PET was treated as a pet to take part in the competition! And I'm doing the study of this pet. That is all.

Dr. Aochider seems rather defensive. What is he hiding?



The first thread choice! What do we call the protagonist? There is a character limit of 5. We can use upper case or lower case letters. There are no other symbols.



For just the first update, I'm going to be using GREEN.



Either your paly partner or your opponent. Well? W



Also a thread choice. The same restrictions as the protagonist apply.



ed RED

Again, using a default name for now.



am and adventure! Go to the world of pocket monster! Go!



And it begins!



..., ..., Ok! It's time to go out for a walk!







picked up!

It appears we have no items to consign. Lets change that!



I takeaway a wound cure, which may be helpful for the first rival battle.



to travel whenever he likes. H'm! ...... It is said in TV! Ah, yes! Dr. Aochider living in next door came to call you!



If I were stronger, I also can replace guard.

Unfortunately, this girl isn't stronger yet, so she can't replace our current guard. :smith:



s a primary colour

:allears:



re RED of elder brother, . you are in the institute of grandpa.



re you happy if it was stolen by us?

Green is kind of a prick.



Dr. Aochider has another name I guess.



anything because Dr. Aochider is an authoritatvie person on PET! But many PET TRAINER still respect Dr. Aochider!

What is Dr. Okada up to? He was defensive in the beginning, and now this. His assistants are tight lipped, so we won't get anything more from them.



e! ...... ...... ...... Foster PET stronger! Fight, contest! Trainer! Here call together the strongest Trainer! The place is the headquarter of PET alliance society in Park quartz! Dr. Auchyder, have a visit, please!

3 names is further evidence of the suspicious nature of Dr. Auchyder.





t now! The wild PET run out from the grass! You can let PET have a try if here there is PET but ...... wait for OK, follow me!



Of course, Green doesn't wait for the OK.



ry tired!
Aochider: Is it RED? ...... ...... Ah, really? I'm shouting! Wait a movement! Ah, GREEN! Are there 3 PET? Ha, ha! There conceals PET in the monster ball! I was famous PET TRAINER for my excellence! But now PET is old, only exists three s. Give you one! ...... Select please!
Red: Ah! How sly! Grandpa! Also give me one!
Aochider: H'm! Don't be anxious RED! Select one you like!



I'm not greedy for food! GREEN firstly I should make great efforts to be chosen out!

RED eats PETS it seems.







Oh no, a philosophy question!!







Another one!







Alright, I'll need the thread's help with this.

a) Flame PET is there also a shadow of human figure?

b) The PET stepped on the water is dependent on the tortoise?

c) An unimaginable seed of a plant PET. Will it do?

The votes are all are due August 9th at 4 PM EST. Naming our starting PET will happen once we reach the Name Rater.

Oh god this is hilarious already. I hope it lives up to Vietnamese Crystal.

Also, about the pets...the unimaginable seed of a plant PET will not do. Also I doubt a PET stepped on the water is dependent on the tortoise. However, there are clearly shadows of human figures. As such, you should choose the flame PET, Shado.

I was trying to screw up translations to get names for our hero and rival but no dice, someone else do it.

I didn't have an opinion on the name when I started typing this, but between that joke and how schizophrenic the game will surely seem I'm thinking Walker is a good name for our protagonist. Accordingly, our rival shall be Konrad. E: My idea blows, Butz it is, with rival YBurn.

To be fair, Epee Em turned on a bunch of gameshark codes and VC was a glitchy hellscape because of it. So long as we don't bother with codes, the game can reasonably look sane.

Let us take the burning human shadow in grim commemoration of the atrocity of Hiroshima, which had its 70th anniversary a couple days ago, and call it Hiro.

Let us be named Budz, for we are heroic, and our nasty rival Enola , for the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the bomb.

The protagonist's name is Butz, and the rival's name is Yburn.


Before I post the update proper, I'm going to show the naming screen, which is also pretty special.



You may notice the P2 on the bottom left. You can change it to P1.



Like so. It doesn't seem to do anything though.



The cursor is on end button here. It seems to be written in some strange alien script.

I think in the original game that was a button to toggle between two Japanese scripts, or between letters and symbols in English.

Apparently they gave both pages the same letters in this bootleg, so all it does is change the possible Missingno encounters.

No, we can't make such an important decision so quickly. The thread will vote on a name when we are about to go through rock tunnel.



Yburn has receiv TORTO from Aochider!



Let's take a moment here to look at our SHADO.









It looks like we will need 44 additives to reach level 6.



Let's check out our trainer information while we are here.



For whatever reason, they never bothered to fully translate the trainer card, which is still half in katakana. Also notice we have 3000 yen.



difficult for me to get PET from grandpa! ....... Act as my opponent!



enge! Yburn

From this point on, for all battles, I'm not going to cover each turn, just some notable things in the fight.



Torto eventually uses his other move, go all out.

And with a lucky hit home, Torto almost makes us use a wound cure.



an experience value! SHADO





Yburn!



t's so good for your PET!



And Yburn pays us in US dollars.



PET first! You'll get stronger and stronger! Butz! Grandpa! Then, bye-bye.



Well, it looks like its time to leave White City and make our way to Evergreen City.



Our first enounter!



This is Bobo's only move at this level.



It was still enough to really hurt Shado. though.



re, It's a convenient prop shop. Next time when you come to the evergreen city welcome you to have a look agian! Oh, yes! Give you the sample ....! Please!



Fortunately, this clerk of the friendship store gives us a wound cure!



We encounter our first Kelar





And now we are Evergreen.



For PET, except for strength, has source of vigorous force to show trick. The gist of force, it is the gist of force for trick. When hasn't it, order them have a rest in centre PET!

Resting in centre PET sounds like a good idea.



Wait, can we use cash? Let's ask the customer to the right.



whichever city has it! Check free!

Phew. Check free. Alright, lets do this.

Ah, sorry to have let you waiting so long! My deposited PET. How strong all of you are! Welcome coming once more!

You sure did.

Translating "Tenno" (conventionally heavenly king) as "Buddha's warrior attendant", apart from being the the normal kind of hilarious and making me want to pop over to the Warframe thread in Games, strikes me as slightly theologically inaccurate.

Man, Yburn is incredibly polite in comparison to his well-translated counterpart. He accepts that it's hard for him to accept a gift from his grandpa, congratulates your PET, encourages you to grow stronger and stronger, and then leaves with a nice "bye-bye" instead of a smug "smell ya later". I think I even like him.

I'm most amazed of all by the sudden bursts of lucidity. "Don't let the opponent see your back while competing intensely!" is very solid advice.

It sure would suck to take down the Buddha's 4 warrior attendants only to learn Yburn has become Buddha before us.
