Pokemon Crystal Vietnamese Translation
 
Gaining some popularity lately is the bootleg Vietnamese translation of Pokemon Crystal. Slowpoke is Yedong, Sprout Tower is where Pokemon practice Buddhism, and when you get items, you do naughty things to your bag! Here's an episode (the first one links to a ROM, so I'm not posting it).

Might be strong language.

So, what do you guys think about this? I personally find it quite hilarious...and would totally love to play it. XD; I just can't understand how some of this stuff actually made it in there, the biggest thing being the f-bomb when you put something in your bag. Kinda odd.

Discuss!

This is hilarious! But...I'm a little confused. Is this supposed to be an actual translation (albeit a poor one), or is it bad on purpose to be funny? Either way, it's very amusing. I'd like to try it sometime.

Sydian March 29th, 2011 8:20 PM

To my knowledge, this was a serious translation. I could be wrong though. :P

I had a bootleg version of Gold, but IIRC the dialogue was not nearly as bad. I traded it in for the superior Telefang bootleg, Pokemon Diamond.

I coudn't stop laughing at these videos and some of the text on this game.. "Miss.yu could you lend me the pot.." "Pole Pocket F***" Brilliant!

Uke4Life March 30th, 2011 3:27 PM

That's hilarious! And for some reason, makes me want to play Crystal version... Must go find copy.

XDragonRiderX March 30th, 2011 6:37 PM

This? Oh, I tried to find it a LONG time ago. It was HILARIOUS when I played it at Hong Kong w/ my relatives. I was laughing my ass off.

In Eastern languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese and Viet, I wonder why monster is translated as "elf" most of the time?

sab April 7th, 2011 4:18 PM

How do people make stuff like this, and then expect to sell it? I understand how some people may start making this, but no one that I know of would have been able to make then sell it semi-successfully. It seems too random to be a valid attempt at translation to me, but it is funny.

Vietnamese Crystal is amazing, in the regard that it's basically a laughter-inducing machine. The game has almost too many potential gags to even be considered a serious translation, yet it's rumored to be. Just be glad that we have Vietnamese Crystal, kids.

It goes back and forth between monster and elf actually. Don't know why there's inconsistency there...

Also, the reason for the f-bomb when you put an item in your bag is apparently because it's translated as "put in" and...well, put A and B together and you'll see where I'm getting. If you don't get me, then you probably don't need to. lol

What? I don't... Oh. OH. Oh god. That was one dirty minded translator.

Sydian April 9th, 2011 10:05 AM

Well, that's what Went told me anyway. :P I figured it made sense!

Osha_say_wott?! April 28th, 2011 6:00 PM

That was hilarious. xD When Totodile used "flame" and water came out..just..sheer awesomeness. ='D They need to start selling hugeballs in every Poké Mart. P:

One interesting thing of the Vietnamese Crystal from my experience of owning one - it's not a GBC game, but a standard GB game. Which made it even better.

Kevin April 29th, 2011 1:57 PM

I'm Vietnamese! :P

Anyways this translation is quite funny! "Strange Tree, Tortoise Pot?" xD

I actually started watching this recently and watched up to about 15 I think. I didn't realize how long Crystal was before! It's so funny, I always laugh at every episode. The bag f-bomb gets me every time!

Wanderlust July 23rd, 2011 7:54 PM

I have never laughed so hard at Youtube in my entire life. This is absolutely amazing!!!
