I Got to Kikyou!

Way back before Gold was released, I remember playing a ROM that was a poorly-translated version of Gold. The player name was only five letters or so, you got your Pokémon from UTSUGI, and towns had different names. Violet City was named KIKYOU or something like that, and I remember running up to my brother saying something like "I GOT TO KICK YOU!"

Ah, good times.

I'm pretty sure it was some poor translation hack someone made up in their spare time. Anyone else heard of it?

  1. Yes... YES!
    I heard of it!
    Even better, I played it!
    I had both Gold and Silver versions, which were at a very similar level of bad translations. Now I'm looking for the ROMs of these, since nostalgia hit me hard (I got Gold in 2000, Silver - about 2005-2007, got rid of both of them)...
