Pokemon Fakemon Games
While I think emulators are great for games that are no longer available or viable in the marketplace this “ROM stuff” isn’t exactly legal. Well, emulators are legal but the distribution of works protected by copyright, including derivative works like these games, is not. Also, while the existence of these games is likely good for both Pokemon fans and the Pokemon company in the real world, in the world of IP these games make use of trademarked assets in a way that could easily be considered to dilute the value of various Pokemon trademarks.
Jul 02, 2013 heres the first look into pokemon celestial, a fan made game using fakemon from various artists around the. The Special Edition of Metroid: Samus Returns for the Nintendo 3DS includes a reversible cover art of the original Game Boy game, Metroid II: Return of Samus.
Which is why the fans should make it clear Ahem that these games just make them so gosh darn excited about Pokemon that they just cannot help but buy any new Pokemon game that comes out and all the officially license merch they can get their hands on! Good article. I’ve been a fan of Pokemon for many years and have lately thought that the official games were too repetitive, with the same exact plot over and over again. What I like about fangames is that it allows their creators to explore new stories within the Pokemon world.
I would like to make one correction though: in the article you describe fangames as analogous to ROM hacks. Actually, many fangames — such as Ethereal Gates — are original creations made using programs such as RPG Maker. It is a common misconception that all fan games are ROM hacks, but that is not the case.
Also, since the article didn’t mention several fan games that I have personally played and found to be enjoyable, here are some others that I can recommend: – Pokemon Insurgence: No fakemon, but has “Delta” Pokemon that are old Pokemon with a new element, as well as new Mega Evolutions – Pokemon Reborn: A challenging game with a darker story and setting and Pokemon from all 6 generations – Pokemon Uranium: Like Ethereal Gates, this game has a new generation of “Fakemon” and introduces a new type, the Nuclear type. This game includes ways to trade and battle online with other players. Cardcaptors English Dub. – Pokemon Fusion Generation: Similar to Pokemon Fusion above, this currently-in-progress game allows any Pokemon to be fused with any other Pokemon. The story is the same as Firered/Leafgreen. All of these games are for the PC and are free to play.
