...Something that Pokémon wouldn't add until gen 6. Two consoles, 12 years later.
Another thing that surprised me is that you could actually lose. All I remember is that at some point I faced some unicorn boss while severely underleveled and had a "GAME OVER" screen.
I'm ESL and at the time I didn't even know English proper, just very basic grammar. In fact I developed my vocabulary first by playing Pokémon Gold in English with a dictionary in hand. Given I was already struggling with proper English, imagine the broken mess this shit was to me, I had no fucking idea of what was going on.
I wonder if there's somewhere a properly translated Telefang that doesn't crash, because I still think it may be interesting in its own right
