Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal, however, was a different story. Bootleggers monetized the game and sold illegal cartridges against the developer’s interests, which prompted Zel to add a disclaimer on the later versions, informing buyers about the piracy issue.īack when Pokémon games on the Game Boy Color were limited to Japanese or English, a few developers translated the popular games into their native language. Given that the date of the hack's release was close to the official Shiny Silver and Heart Gold’s release date, the hack gained immense popularity among Pokémon fans for its quality scripting. Zel wasn’t the first who created Generation II remakes- Pokémon Liquid Crystal and Crystal Dust were made out of the GBA ROMs. Zel developed the game, which is currently in Beta 5 and is 99% complete.

Shiny Gold is built from Fire-Red game engine with Gen II and Gen III sprites. It also includs the Trick House as a mini game. The game follows the same plot points and design as the Gold and Silver series, but also adds new things, such as Generation III and higher difficulty levels. Not to be confused with Heart Gold, Shiny Gold was made before the official Heart Gold remake on the Nintendo DS was released. Naranja was popular enough that a few pirates created physical copies of the game. The developer, Sergio, posted Beta 2, and the full version is in Spanish, though fans have since translated the game. It’s likely that the name is a reference to the GS Ball. The player can then talk to an invisible Steven who provides the TM 47 (Steel Wing). Naranja’s framework is from Pokémon Ruby, and players who used the 'walk through walls' cheat code can find a special passageway that leads to a cave. The Isle of Pink is also included, where players can catch pink Pokémon.

Key points like the GS ball, Tracy, and Professor Ivy are featured in the game. Players can choose either Ash Ketchum or Misty as their default character.Ĭompared to mute main characters from the official games, Naranja’s player can actually talk back to the NPCs. Like Ash Gray, Naranja takes the plot of the Ash's journey to Orange Islands. Naranja was one of the first few games that was based on the anime series.
