While reading this blog about bootleg games, I was led to this page of bootleg game images and I saw this funny Pokemon bootleg i'd never seen before: POWERMON, I CHOOSE YOU!

Is it wrong that I acually prefer the pointy eared green sandshrew to the original? |

It sort of reminds me of Rex a little. The moon on its stomach makes me think Carebears though.. xD Also, it looks like they tried to transform Pikachu into a raccoon of some sort, while poor Charmander is a green iguana?! |

Well, the game seems to be Korean in origin and is obviously a huge ripoff of Pokemon. It's also for Windows 97/98. Since you mentioned there were pictures, I did a google search :D Here they are: Alternate Cover Another shot of the cover Powermon Plus (another version of the game?) A screenshot from the game, plus another Korean Pokemon bootleg with Raichu Also, here's an unrelated picture I found in the same search, but it's pretty funny: Bidoofados (Bidoof and Gyarados' kid I presume.... xD) Edited by KenjutheDenjuu, Jun 6 2011, 01:10 AM.

Unless your computer is able to support Microsoft Windows 97/98 and Korean games, i'd say probably not. It does look like an intriguing game though. I wonder if it's possible to dump computer games? A ROM would be interesting. EDIT: Found some more information on Kotaku.com: http://kotaku.com/257000/not-pokemon-powermon
Sounds like Pikachu got quite a makeover xD Also, according to this Korean blog it is apparently very difficult to install and has bugs (no surprise, since it's a bootleg). From reading around it also seems to be somewhat known in Korea, and most know it's a bootleg of Pokemon (well, I guess it's pretty obvious since they didn't do a particularly good job of disguising the characters anyway).

Wow, those are nice finds! Where did you search for them? EDIT: Since this thread has now become a discussion about Powermon rather than Pokemon Crystal, I edited the title and my original post. I'll repost the Crystal information in a seperate thread. EDIT2: Done! The thread for Pokemon Crystal is now up. By the way Selyte, you're right about the two bottom links being fanart. Pixiv is an image hosting site that has a lot of Japanese fanart and pictures. It's a really good place to look up fakemon as well, the Pokemon crossovers are pretty funny.

Thanks for doing that :) I tried your search on Yahoo Japan and I found even more pics! Picture of the CD/Slipcase Another cover pic (notice the price says 9,800 yen!? O_O) Also I found another similar Korean bootleg with Pichu: http://www2t.biglobe.ne.jp/~shupy/log/log011102.htm They've done one for Raichu, Pikachu and Pichu now...a complete evolution set xD Edited by KenjutheDenjuu, Jun 11 2011, 09:34 AM.

It's in my post that's 6 down from the top (including my first post). I believe they're all made by the same company who made this bootleg. |

I edited the link to the picture and it should show up now. I think it kept switching pictures because it was linked to the gallery (i've linked it to the blog it appeared on instead). Thanks for letting me know! ^^ EDIT: The link broke again >_< I've fixed it now though. I've linked to the web page where it's hosted. Fingers crossed it won't break again. EDIT2: The link is completely fixed ^^ I also managed to find a new picture that shows two more Pikachu related bootlegs that appear to have been made by the same company (you'll have to scroll down the page to see it): http://kankoku-020115.tripod.com/pakuri/pakubutukan/pakuri_manse02.html EDIT3: I found someone on Serebii forum who posted about Powermon 3: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?s=4b351f462fb452e035fe50b8dac5c715&p=2414828&postcount=8 http://www.serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?s=4b351f462fb452e035fe50b8dac5c715&p=2419081&postcount=11 Also, here's another image: http://page.freett.com/realmofrman/img/powermon.JPG Edited by KenjutheDenjuu, Feb 8 2012, 09:57 AM.

I purchased a copy of Powermon through Taiwan shopaholic from Ruten today. Hopefully it'll be here in a couple of weeks or so. Then when I get it installed I can post more information. Edited by Picrodus, Aug 3 2012, 03:10 PM.
