By now finding a "haunted" cartridge is a scary video game story cliche, but one series in sells the tale better than the rest. Pokémon's piracy problem, coupled with fan's' hunger to see a mature monster-collecting game allowed "Pokémon Black" to become one of the most famous Pokémon creepypasta to ever dwell on the internet.
Redditor Vernm51's parents couldn't find a copy of Pokemon HeartGold for the DS locally for Christmas, so they ordered it online from GameStop -- and received a bootleg copy that didn't work.
There's Pokémon Crystal, the third game in the second generation of Pokémon games. And then there's Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal, the bootleg version of the game with mistranslations. There's a difference.
While piracy is the pits, you gotta love bootleg covers: they mash up all sorts of things that either make no sense, or somehow make the source material even funnier. In some cases, they even make you wish the game advertised on the cover officially actually existed, instead of whatever pirated game is actually in there.
