Pokemon Yellow NES Bootleg (1/2 Longplay) (Lei Dian Huang Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo)

Lei Dian Huang Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo (also known as Pokémon Yellow) is a pirated game for the NES made by Shenzhen Nanjing. It’s generally regarded as being of higher quality compared to Shenzhen Nanjing’s other games. This game is basically a port of Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen and Yellow mixed together with some changes to it. It appears to be ported with FireRed & LeafGreen in mind (all the attacks, the TM/HM list, and the types (Magnemite and Magneton are Electric/Steel and Dark moves exist), although almost all the Sevii Islands weren’t kept but reworked to match Yellow’s storyline. However, the intro involving catching Pikachu is missing and Pikachu just acts like any normal Pokémon. The overworld graphics primarily use FireRed & LeafGreen graphics with some graphics from Ruby & Sapphire and the Game Boy port of Harvest Moon as well. The in-battle graphics use the FireRed & LeafGreen’s male trainer’s back sprite but all the Pokémon and opponents use sprites from Gold & Silver (with the exception of the Ruby & Sapphire legendaries and any NPCs that weren’t in Gold and Silver which used Yellow’s sprites instead.); all of the Pokémon’s front sprites are animated with most of them switching back and forth between their Gold and Silver sprites. All of the music from the game is actually from Ruby and Sapphire and the layouts on some maps were completely changed. Strangely enough, despite the mechanics being based off of FireRed and LeafGreen, the level up movesets all appear to be based off of Gold and Silver instead. Another addition to the game is the inclusion of Gold and Silver legendaries (except for Celebi) as well as the weather trio from Ruby and Sapphire. Despite this being based off of Yellow Version, all of the Pokémon excluded from the original game still appear here in the port. After beating the game, there is some post-game content which is unusual for a bootleg game. You are sent back to Pallet Town. Speak to your mother, and she’ll tell you that Lorelei is waiting for you at Cerulean Cave. Once you go into Cerulean Cave, get Mewtwo, and speak to Lorelei (outside the entrance), you can fight the Elite Four again where all of the members have a much more powerful team with Jessie and James being the champions. After beating them, a trainer in Celadon City can be fought who uses the legendary dog trio (Raikou, Entei, Suicune) from Gold and Silver as well as the weather trio (Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza) from Ruby and Sapphire. After doing so, you can aboard a boat from Vermilion City to Navel Rock (interestingly enough this was an event-only island in the original game) where you can capture Lapras (random encounter), Raikou (random encounter), Ho-Oh, and Lugia. Beware that you cannot re-enter Navel Rock after returning back on the S.S. Anne.
