Bootleg Zones: Pokemon GO Cards

[@orionhan2431]

Guilinggao = herbal jelly (the literal translation is "turtle shell paste" even though it doesnt contain turtle shells) SiewGaiYik = bbq chicken wings

[@Vintodrimmer]

Orion Han , why didn't they name them all after food?

[@orionhan2431]

Dont ask me. They are Cantonese so the person incharge of writing these is probably in Hong Kong

[@CartoonTriper]

Wow, they really are hungry when they name these pokemon

[@NodDisciple1]

So you read Cantonese then?

[@CartoonTriper]

No, only for the translation form @Orion Han

[@raininess]

I love that they kept the icon for changing the name, that aspect is clearly needed on the cards.

[@bailey6304]

Yo Phelous, I'll trade your Chow Mein for my Mein Chow

[@rcarfang2]

i always used Chow Mein in my Pokemon Blue games. Its such a shame Cho Mein was Overcooked when fighting Blaine :(

[@BulmaBunny]

THESE ARE SOOOO BAD.. that power up button edit fail though lol

[@marplatense31]

I've really grown to enjoy Phalous' videos lately. I find Bootleg Zones to be the funniest videos on the channel. Keep it up, man!

[@lizzychrome7630]

Have you seen the one with the dick-guns?

[@marplatense31]

Lizzy Chrome Uh... No.. I saw the one with the big cock though!

[@arvindgohil5070]

Go cards not found😫😫😫

[@daehwiluvr1489]

A wild Chow Mein appeared! Trainer used Eat! It's super effective! Chow Mein fainted!

[@daehwiluvr1489]

Idk. That's the joke I guess

[@5roundsrapid263]

I named mine Fryguy. It looks just the old McDonaldland character!

[@warriorlegends3550]

Y fcch

[@kaz2726]

I named all my Pokémon after foods in my playthroughs of Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun, and Shield, soooooo....

[@Dewotto]

what a convoluted way for someone to show off their Pokemon go collection

[@Takimeko]

I looked up some of these nicknames to see if they meant anything: YeetLatLat is apparently a phrase that's meant to be for when something is "Fresh off the oven/out of the stove". Ngau Lam is a Cantonese dish that's also known as Cantonese Braised Beef Brisket. BunLaiLai might be referring to Bun Lai, who is a Hong Kong-born American chef. I also found this article that shows that the bootleggers didn't even make up these names or use their own Pokemon for the screencaps. coconuts.co/hongkong/news/someone-made-cantonese-names-various-pokemon-and-theyre-hilarious/

[@boraxkid1097]

Make sure you play this game at inappropriate locations for the full GO experience.

[@Matt-mq6ws]

But Areodactyl was scissors and Clafairy was rock. Rock beats scissor. Left hand cheated!

[@phelous]

Yeah it's a total cheater. Also I apparently wasn't paying enough attention, haha.

[@arvindgohil5070]

Go cards not found 😫🙏🙏🙏

[@smb-c3po]

@@arvindgohil5070 I like how Phelous comes off as a stoner.

[@penguinmaster7]

i don;t need cards for rock paper scissors??? thanks wabuu, i had no idea! most of these bootlegs are so stupid

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Goggles Tigerkhan Most bootlegs in general are sooooooo stupid, but you'll occasionally get some diamonds in the rough like First Gokin Cerebral Bootleg Krang or the Loco Squad/Super Thomas and some okay ones like the Alien Spider bootleg or the Sonic in Speedy Gonzalez SNES bootleg hack. (Seriously Conner the Waffle? Is that the best you can do for a Worst bootlegs list?)

[@adrianmalacoda]

DIAMONDS? MUH GOD!

[@yagirlhenney5701]

the diamonds! my god!

[@soogymoogi]

The bootlegger who caught and named Chow Mein and Bokchoy is my hero. also thanks, Wabuu! didn't know I could play Pokemon Go on my phone!

[@MagnumBill91]

Whoever kept naming the Pokemon "Rainer" clearly had fondness for the days when people thought the Mist Stone and PokeGods were legit.

[@calabasatheotakusaiyan959]

I about died with laughter when the Tangela's nickname is Chow Mein. Great nickname!! Not XD Don't get me started on the Oddish named Bokchoy

[@CallMeFreakFujiko]

I can probably find these screenshots on Tumblr. I'm a little surprised that they didn't have a "LoveIsLove" Clefairy or a "Satan" Magmar card.

[@Fubukio]

Ah, so that's where his initial $5000 budget went to...

[@user-DullardBones]

To be fair, I named my Tangela "Spigetti." ...Yes, not even spaghetti.

[@Ratciclefan]

Did you misspell it on purpose? lol

[@kaz2726]

I named a Malamar Spaghetti

[@user-DullardBones]

@@Ratciclefan No.

[@MrDOCTORDERPY]

I found some chocolate eggs(like Kinder Surprise) In a nearby shop with Pokemon go on the wrapping. the toy had nothing to do with Pokemon

[@AliceUmoh]

This is actually interesting seeing as how the app that this "card game" is based on is actually banned in China.

[@Webshooters1]

9:46 - 9:54: Halloweenie! When did you come on Bootleg Zones? I want an episode of Bootleg Zones where Halloweenie reviews rip-off halloween crap!

[@yagirlhenney5701]

i'm pretty sure that he did the wabuu voice on 9:46 he does kinda have a point that you don't need cards to play rock paper sciccors henney in her wheelchair: wow, most of these bootlegs are soooooooo stuuuuupiiiiiiid

[@Otterino]

No Fat Boy, no deal.

[@Phantomsangel]

This delivery was 5 MONTHS IN THE MAKING! ....I'm kind of surprised he didn't make that joke lol.

[@maugos]

Some of the cards are just a list of some of the Pokemon that were caught. That is an all new low for lazy.

[@stephenbrown4698]

According to this Rock Paper Scissors game, Oddish can beat Pidgeotto... ...I'm done...

[@callumsparrow4379]

I went to Lanzarote a few months ago, and I actually saw a bunch of these cards in their own cardboard decking box. I was almost tempted into getting a pack for myself, but I honestly wish now I would’ve bought some when I got the chance considering how ridiculously absurd these bootleg Pokemon names are.

[@bossrosslp]

Did anyone else notice the attack stat and energy stat in the 100,000s+? No?

[@KasumiKenshirou]

In Chinese there's a type of slang that uses numbers to represent words. That could be why that one has a number for a name. (I don't know Chinese or how the slang works, though.)

[@dungquoc8552]

goroawase?

[@JamieSwitzer]

always happy to see a notification for a new Phelous video!!

[@sachikiriyama6705]

Who would make trading cards based on Pokémon GO?

[@peacekeeper3363]

I saw two cards like this in Majorca except neither of them were holographic, (but they were printed out like they were) they had different text fonts and they both came with a figure they pretend is an actual pokemon. The Vaporeon card came with a green angry octopus with tentacles on its face like Zoidberg and the Goldeen one came with a metal boiler ant with a candlestick on its back.

[@goufr3540]

You know you have played Pokemon GO long enough when you start seeing wild Wabuus and stealing your beer from the fridge.

[@matthorseirons6791]

"Most of deez cards are SOOO shtoopid!!!" - Wabuu

[@vivh18]

Maybe some random guy put up a Pokemon go cards ad and was then like, "Woah! Someone ordered?! Crap now I gotta make them!" That's why it took so long

[@davidplace2849]

I named my Mienshao Chow Mein since I had one in my old games. I had a laugh seeing it used for Tangela.

[@chaoscoyotex]

2 things I did notice from the cards. 1 the CP bar under the number is TOTALLY random. And 2, there is a border around the cards regardless of the red or not.

[@Lionkingview]

These Cards sparkle like fake yu-gi-oh cards

[@MrEricon9]

Weren't Sparky, Pyro and Rainer the names of those Eevee trainers from the one pokemon comic?

[@kylebaker6320]

Been living in China for 5 years and I have seen these bootleg cards around in the schools for many different Japanese cartoons. I find the children only play these games as a way to gamble and show off how many they won from others. I saw MTG copies, yu gi oh, Sailor moon seems popular at the moment and they play the same way rock, paper, scissors even without the symbol.

[@Synthesizermusicguy]

random thought the island of misfit toy song from the goodtimes rudolph would bee a good song for boot leg zones

[@joholloway8818]

watching this video is as close to actually playing pokemon go as I've come in.....10-12 months.

[@SuperFloxes]

Can someone explain why they all have stupidly high attack and energy? Why do a lot of the CP values not match the meter, like a Ponyta who hasn't been powered up at all somehow having over 400 CP? Why the Caterpie look like someone replaced the image? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

[@BubbaBowie]

Pokemon Go expansion set for the TCG is coming out July 1st 2022

[@yagirlhenney5701]

9:46 Wait, since when did wabuu appear out of nowhere in this video?

[@dunes8817]

Also, the stat points don't seem to correspond with anything.

[@souperman72]

Is it true that creators receive no revenue from mobile viewers? If I watch the ad while on my iPad KZbin pockets all the cash?

[@gracekim1998]

I guess the cards will be….. YEETed out of here🤣

[@katrinalin2496]

Chinese person with some knowledge of Cantonese here. "Guai Ling Gao" (or "guai ling go" as the bootleggers are calling Squirtle here) is actually a dessert in Chinese cuisine. It's basically a black jelly made out of...tortise/turtle. Man these names are so funny. Why did they name their Tauros "beef brisket"? Oh yeah. So that they could eat it with their chinese cabbage and fried noodles.

[@Bismuth83X]

Wow, Pokémon Go AND Pocket Mortys all in one?! AWESOME!

[@DragonMaiden77]

I dunno, I've always been a gigantic Pokémon fan. Like since I was five, and I'm 21 now, so for about 16 years. Pokémon Go though was a bit harder for me. I'm in a wheelchair, and my friends and parents have jobs, and I have a chronic pain disorder so being out too long searching for Pokémon just wasn't in the cards for me. I'm glad a lot of other people still find a lot of joy with it though, I'll stick to the DS games and card games though.

[@humanconvertile]

It makes you wonder if these were, like, twelve year olds who made this "game." I can't imagine something like literally taking screen caps from a mobile phone game and pasting them onto cards with no idea behind them couldn't have been done by children. It reminds me when I was a kid first learning how to use a printer, I'd take DBZ images from Google and past them onto various things. I just love that they were so lazy that they didn't bother to fix the nick-names they obviously gave the Pokemon before they decided to make them into cards. Quality stuff...

[@neilstewart5931]

phelous why you so awesome with everything

[@souravgaming9795]

What you search by getting the pokemon card

[@julzr.8527]

so funny, I found this video because my husband bought the same cards and we were curious what "SiewGaiYik" meant 😂 (he made youtube videos of them too, it'll appear on his channel Spesiro, but it's in german, so.. 😅)

[@Knightedskull]

Phelaaaaaan. Give the cards an extra and careful look. Do any of them seem to be at an odd angle or just seem off? Besides that, with the color and image quality...I would safely bet that they actually used a CAMERA( or phone camera) to take shots off their screens ( yes, some people do this).

[@rebeltinaschannel6240]

As if bootleg Pokemon cards couldn't sink any lower....

[@PepeSilviaPennypacker]

946, I choose you!

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Damn, I could go for some Tangela right now...

[@gracekim1998]

Pokémon go has achieved card status! It’s a full CIRCLE 🤣 11.2.22

[@iKadaj]

is it bad that i can remember actually trying to play rock/paper/scissors with myself as a little kid and actually did get annoyed that i couldn't surprise myself? >> ;

[@culwin]

I summon you, Bacon Cheeseburger!

[@hanifmikhail3971]

Bro Where Do You Buy That Pokemon Go Fake Card?

[@Kogander]

Phelous! Where is my resident evil the last chapter review sandwich?!

[@DrClipper]

I wonder if they actually intended the cards to be used with Top Trumps rules... On your turn, you look at the top card of your deck, choose a stat, then both players reveal the top card of their decks and the card with the higher value in that stat wins, putting both cards beneath their deck. In this case, you can just choose the RPS icon as one of the options. That would at least make it a game, and we've already seen from those other bootleg cards that the bootleggers have a strange fascination with Top Trumps...

[@CrisisComics]

I'm surprised you never noticed the Pikachu card has an absurd number of hit points. The "game" can't even follow its own rules.

[@FredFuchs570]

Pokemon Go cards are a thing now

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

5 months???? I heard about slow shipping but that's maybe 1 month, never more than that... Why did you not ask for a refund in the meantime?

[@captainimagination1110]

Phelous are you a G.I Joe and ThunderCats fan. Also have you been to Bill and Tim's Barbecue?

[@Tareltonlives]

I'm sure if Oddish existed, it would still taste better than Bok Choy

[@Shenaldrac]

Scyther is bug and flying, not bug and poison. I can't believe they got that wrong :V

[@rcarfang2]

Were you describing the mobile game Pokemon Go or the bootleg when you said "Pitiful in concept and execution"?

[@gracekim1998]

The card game bootleg of course 🤣

[@Ratciclefan]

I actually have some of these. lol And as far as I know, none of the ones I got have alternative names.

[@souravgaming9795]

How many rupees

[@SanaLovesMahado1]

lmao. Someone was hungry.

[@Brozilla2002]

wait these are fake? i won some at a carnival... wait why did i think these were real again? besides mine came in a box and even says nintendo and niantic inc on the back. and when i take them out of the box they have a completely original, completely shit back with pictures of different pokemon. it still has the rock paper scissors shit on it and as far as i know. none of them have made up names on the cards. and mine are made of stuff that is a bit worse than the normal pokemon stuff.

[@brunobucciaratiswife]

My favorite Pokemon is definitely *Yeet LatLat*

[@petercap6568]

ya know, if this had a little more effort put into it this actually wouldn't be a bad idea all things considered. Even by bootleg standards.

[@gracekim1998]

Oh my gosh the images is from the game!😱 Yes I still play it🤣 EH you play it too😎

[@Kirkeyressa]

Holy shit, I had a super late order from China come in a week ago as well... huh. I mean, I know, big country, but one must wonder...

[@royal9743]

Damn you Phelous! I just got Marvel VS Capcom 3 and I play primarely Chris Redfield. I never played any Resident Evil game and the Roster of MvsCC has characters I like much more. Why I'm playing Chris you ask? So I can yell "I got a Shotgun!" every 5 seconds! This is your fault!

[@ReplyGuyGimmick]

The backs look more like MST from yugioh.

[@rcarfang2]

Too bad there are no spells or traps in Pokemon Go TCG.

[@RainbyFIN]

Man, this Ponyta's empty. YEET

[@Tim5corpion]

The laziest pokemon cards ever.

[@vjpearce]

Why does Tauros's cp bar appear good but still be cp24? Plus it has Snorlax candy down the bottom? PS: Apparently the names of these Pokemon cards are Cantonese puns coconuts.co/hongkong/news/someone-made-cantonese-names-various-pokemon-and-theyre-hilarious/ and this card company ripped off the creator's own caught Pokemon.

[@sirmugman]

ah yes the pokemon go cards to o with the game....no there bootlegs but at least your get loads of cards AS THERE NO DIFFERANTS YOU WILL GET THE SAME CARDS EVERY TIME IN THE PACKS or i did got some in the charity shop and i opened three up and there were the same cards over and over, threw the rest out rather then selling as BOOTLEGGERS DON'T GET SOLD ON!

[@fearnloathingingeneral]

... ........ *WHAT!?*

[@mathieuleader8601]

nidoran is a dwarf nidoran

[@whitefox411-gamer7]

If you ever do another Bootleg Pokemon Cards video, mainly a more "realistic" looking bootleg, you should address the black cardboard that official Pokemon cards use. Basically, the Pokemon Company puts a black piece of cardboard in their card that 99% of bootlegs don't do. So if you look very closely at the side of a Pokemon Card an official one will have a black line between two white lines and very rarely will a bootlegger.

[@lizzychrome7630]

Most of these bootleg toys are soooooooooooo completely useless now!

[@FaeQueenCory]

Rock Paper Scissors is at least more advanced and nuanced than Pokémon Go is..... How disappointing.
