>>40324673my friend from a country that cant officially sell pokemon products sent me a bunch of fake pokemon cartridges
most of them were garbage, either incomplete romhacks like "frigo returns" or games that werent even really pokemon, like pokemon jade.
however, there was one that seemed like a real pokemon game, but actually a lot better. it was the only ds game he sent me, as all the other games were on GBA or GBC.
it was called pokemon white.
it was just like a pokemon game, except all the monsters were original. they looked like pokemon, had the same types, moves, etc, but were all new. it almost felt like a lost region of pokemon except it was a complete game.
Its not a romhack either, the pokemon move in battle unlike diamond and pearl, and it ran faster than diamond and pearl. the overworld also seemed a lot more 3d, and theres 3d cutscenes too.
plus it had a real story.
Its been a while since i played it, but its really hard to go back to playing pokemon for real after playing that bootleg.
i wish whoever made that bootleg worked for gamefreak..
