You mean that bootleged game Telefang or something?It's not even Pokemon.I saw the boxart for it at PokemonElite.com and there was a fakemon on the box.
EDIT:OMG!While I was surfing the web I accidentally went to Ebay and found this: http://www.reboard.com/pokelot3.jpghttp://www.reboard.com/pokelot4.jpghttp://www.reboard.com/pokelot5.jpg
I thought they stopped doing that.That is an obvious scam.What ever you do if you see something like this don't buy it!
EDIT2:Now I found another fake!http://i14.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/c7/6a/24_1_b.JPG

Yeah, the fake diamond/jade games are fairly well known. If you look it up you can find a ROM of it. (It's not illegal, either, because the game isn't technically a real game on the market). I've played the ROM before. The funny thing is, the actual game looks nothing like the screenshots on the back of that box. Not to mention that those fakemons' names in that one screenshot are "Meowth" and "Sandshrew". wtf. And wow, look at that colored sprite in the middle of a town that's only two different colors!
Anyway, the ROM I played of the fake diamond version was really weird:
- You played as this dude named Mr. Bek.
- Instead of catching Pokemon you got their phone numbers from them and called them when you wanted them to battle.
- You were able to buy things like guns, bombs, and knives and give them to your monsters.
- The Pokemon weren't called Pokemon, they were 'electric monsters'.
- The english was very poor, as if it had been babelfished or something. It was pure "all your base are belong to us" through the entire game, and at times I couldn't understand what the hell they were trying to say at all.
- I couldn't really understand the story very well because of the poor english, but it was something about going to the electric world and saving the antenna trees, or something like that.
- The color scheme hurt my eyes, and the graphics looked like they were from Zelda or something.
- You could have one monster follow you around like Pikachu does in yellow. It could be any monster and you could change at any time.
- You start out with one monster that looks like sandslash.
- There was a lot of cursing in the game.
- To heal your monsters, all you had to do was stand in one place for a while and your HP would start increasing.
So, basically, it was just that telefang game thing badly translated into english and made to look like a pokemon game on the outside. But I have to admit, the fakemon on the box looks pretty cool XD
Ooh, I found some screenshots I had taken of the Diamond ROM.

The Diamond version looks pretty believable, except for the fact that its GameBoy Color... >> ...that outta throw people off. I wouldn't believe it... but younger kids who know anything about ROM hacking, and certain game systems would probably go run up to their parents going 'I want it! I want it!' ... >> bah... I downloaded Diamond... it was a hack of some strange game that reminded me of Zelda, with little Pokemon people thrown in, and the story line mentioned 'Pocket Monsters' or something like that.... >> I dont remember it all... but it had my attention for all of 10 minutes x__x
I can't wait for the real Diamond and Perl to come out... I must get a Nintendo DS!! o__o

I wouldn't buy any of those.Although my sister would beg my parents.Even though I'm 10 I'm not dumb.I only buy games that I heard of and if I never heard of it I get information on it.

I've heard of Diamond and Jade. From the screenshots I've seen, it looks like crap. What's funny is that the back of the Diamond box has all of the same words as GSC, but the screenshots looks nothing like what it's describing. If I wanted to do a scam like that, I'd at least try to make it nice looking so people would buy it...

i have never heard of them.... but since nintendo made ruby, sapphire, and emerald, maybe one day FOR REAL, they might make a Pokemon Diamond.

They are, they're making Diamond and Pearl for the DS. People are saying it might be out in Japan next year, but I dunno.

I still can't believe it still exists.Back in 2001-2003 I wasn't a Pokemon fan(for games, I watched the anime) but I heard about Diamond/Jade a few months ago.And today I saw a copy being sold at Ebay!

Yea, there's a lot of copies of Diamond on Ebay right now. I also saw Jade. There's a weird Stantler-type thing on it. O.o

Xbox 360 costs $400 and I only have $90...
People are designing better box covers these days.2 years from now people will confuse Diamond for color with the Diamond for DS.Plus 1 guy bid $10 on Diamond a hour ago and the auction closed half a hour ago.I wonder what will happen to the person who sold Diamond and the person who bought it...

I've actually played Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Go Go. My friend got me the hack roms onto computer... They're confusing, they're pathetic and they're lame (just to sum it all up).

Wait, is Pokemon Go Go the game where Meowth sings the Titanic song at the intro, and you are a Pikachu in a side-scroller game?
If it is, I've played it...
Cheeky Typhlosion
December 27th, 2005, 10:24 AM
Uhhh... I don't recall Meowth singing Titanic... I just remember him saying stuff like "You are my nightmare" or something like that... but yeah, you are Pikachu in a sidescrolling game. You have to do stuff like jump on top of Bellsprouts and Meowths and that sorta stuff...

I just remembered on the back of the fake box for Diamond it said it was compatible with R/B/Y/G/S/C.How?

Darn I should have kept that game :p

Those games sound like fun xD You're making me want to play them xD
You are saying the ones on Ebay are a scam. How does that work? Do they not work then? Or are they just really rubbish ROM hacks? o_O
Can you get a working one for Gameboy?
What I've heard on Diamond reminds me of a Game my friend lent me that he got in Turkey. Its called Pokemon 'Carbunkle' x3
You have to stop the Rockets from stealing the 'Magic Babies', which I still don't have a CLUE what they are =P
Its REALLY badly translated, I don't get half of it. Apparently Ash (they call him Satoshi o_O) and the others have got lost/kidnapped and Pikachu has to save the day. Its Kanto&Jhoto Pokemon (and Latias pops up for a boss fight now and again), only they have really weird names. Like 'Mumleaf' (Meganium) o_O And Pidgeotto is called 'Bobo' or something. And I think Rhydon is called smething Digimon. o_o Quite worrying really.
Nothing like the style of the normal games, its more like strategy games. You move & fight each pokemon up to once per turn. Different ones move different amounts of spaces per turn. The level is won once you have taken out all of the enemies on the level. And the boss, which stays still in a little hut thing. Usually the Boss is being mind controlled by Team Rocket and so joins you once you have beaten it and freed it from being controlled o_O

I've played the "diamond" thing. I thought it was amusingly stupid. It made no sense. I think that the people that are trying to pass these things off as real are really funny.:cool:
