Pokémon Bootleg Hacks | Octavius King

[@dungeonseeker3087]

Please never change Octy, I absolutely love your style of comedy and this one had me in tears, that last Pikachu/Jackie Chan monstrosity was incredible. Thanks for the vid

[@ASMRaphael]

I have to say that Sarah's singing voice is bloomin' astounding!

[@raven_of_zoso455]

Yeah, she does have a set of lungs on her. No, but seriously, she has a great voice!

[@alecj3454]

"Nostalgia -- the only thing keeping me going" -- That is my new life motto. Its so true. Bravo!

[@HolderOfLife]

Love to see you still dishing out the content.

[@hjalfi]

Every single one of those cut-price Pokemon look like they've just realised that they're not the real one and the knowledge is devouring their souls from the inside.

[@stekent3177]

I really enjoyed this one, the song was a nice surprise 😂 keep em coming

[@MichaelLaneMonkeywrench]

The "Pokemon Green" cover art triggered a hacking round of Covid laugh-coughing. Well played. Edit - shit got to Golden not againnnn

[@AikenDrum1715CE]

Your writing and your delivery makes me giggle. I can ask for no more.

[@Xator]

I am just a simple spaniard: I see a new video from Octavius King, and automatically give a Like.

[@maya60778]

Never disappointed when you upload. Enjoyed the song at the end!

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

Living off borrowed time the clock ticks faster, This time they finally knock off Dic Dastardly and Muttley with his sick laughter

[@Ospyro3em]

I've just discovered this channel and I'm loving it! Your dry humour had me doubled over laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@SonicBoss1991]

She streams on twitch as well!

[@IanDarley]

'Slit slap' and 'Engulf' need to be a thing 😂

[@villehursti]

The Golden one's cover is golden. Amazing. Pure art.

[@viscountrainbows6452]

I wanna see it in the Guggenheim.

[@GoreGazzim]

Your videos are so good. The quality of the script, the jokes, the topics , the editing are all spot on. Keep up the good work Octavius.

[@Chavhunterofcalne]

Eesh, those knock offs look terrible. Though the Jackie Chan one made me laugh out loud. Loved the pokemon song at the end, too. Forgot how clear you sound when you sing.

[@Real1Gaming]

You're quickly becoming one of my favorite video game channels. Also, as a Nintendo fan since the mid-late 90's, your commentary at 01:55 was just... Spot on. It's funny because it's absolutely true.

[@olafbuddenberg4787]

17:36 - LOL!!! Ahem. Yes, I am easily entertained. Oh, great song at the end! :D

[@FVvocals]

Said it before and will say it again….PLEASE GIVE THIS GIRL A TV SHOW……Awesome as always Sarah. Hope you’re well and staying safe

[@shia_labeouf]

I particularly enjoyed that, at 14:38, the sprite changes when the character gets in the frog suit thing but the lazy hackers clearly didn't bother changing out Little Nemo in that one so Sandshrew/Rhydon randomly turns into a little boy in a frog costume.

[@ninjacat230]

2:56 you best be joking. And not actually thinking red and Ash are the same

[@strangulator42]

I've had one of the worst weeks of my life, but your video helped me feel normal for a little bit... you do good work lol! keep up the good work!

[@PositivePuppet]

Absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly entertaining, your work never disappoints and lovely to hear you sing again.

[@themaestrosfolly]

“Slit slap!” I literally dropped my fricking iPad I laughed so hard!!!

[@nneeerrrd]

Ikr

[@zandorius]

me too lol

[@BRUXXUS]

I think my neighbors could hear me laughing at that!

[@TyphinHoofbun]

My first thought was Legend of Dragoon's "Demon's Gate". ...It's too late for me, save yourselves.

[@BottomBunkArt]

8:58 it’s what is now known as a regional variant. The name of the evolution is Cleforis. It’s mistakenly believed to be a rare or nonexistent pokemon because some trainers have difficulty finding it.

[@joeyparkhill8751]

that Eevee bootleg was so lazily made that they couldn't be arsed to change the character's name from Jerry to Eevee! just look at the HUD at 10:19!!

[@soopafamicom]

OMG...was listening to the vid while playing a game...had to pause and click back to the vid when you were singing. Loved it.

[@walcodebruyn2135]

Yayy a long Octavius video Just what i needed, thanks I'm so excited to watch it!

[@kingedwin]

Imagine being a kid getting one of these games and enjoying it, because it's just a sprite hack of a good game. Then you try to explain it to your Pokemon-loving friends, who have no idea what you're talking about. "You know, Pikachu's bag that he uses to carry around his boxing glove?"

[@tekmate]

Loved the video made me laugh at a time I really needed it. Song at the end was great.

[@Inignot12]

I love the song at the end, you've got a great singing voice

[@UpLateGeek]

Thanks, after the day I had at work, I needed a laugh! Although I might not think it was so funny after I find out what tonight's dreams have in store for me.

[@duckyvirus]

entertaining as always. the tune was.... interesting rofl. keep it up!

[@atheisthumanist1964]

Not sure how I hadn't found the channel until recently. Definitely subd!

[@FantasyWoW45]

This video has had me cackling like a madman. Thank you Octavius!

[@MikeStavola]

Ngl, I want a physical copy of Golden, specifically so I can display it, and make people uncomfortable for going through my game collection.

[@Zeecarver]

DOn't kid yourself, that cover at the end was great! :D

[@quinceorchard]

Glad to have you back , looking more feisty lately

[@RettMikhal]

I love how they were too lazy to replace the profile picture of Plucky Duck in the hud. That would take all of two seconds.

[@Blatidae]

So glad to have found your channel today! You're hilarious! Also, your rats are adorable! Makes me miss keeping them myself!

[@godisdead]

The content we deserve! Thanks Octavius!!!!!

[@hollowlifester]

Great work, again!

[@15-Peter-20]

Love you Octav1us x

[@blackphoenix77]

Barve Boy Pocket Pokechu is nightmare fuel 😨

[@robertootero8535]

Great video keep up the great work

[@michaelpout4798]

Good to see a new video from you I have subscribed

[@andrewarnell1251]

More content like this, please! This is wonderful!!

[@nerdiestmurdoch887]

Sees new Octavius video.. clicks immediately… never disappointed 😁

[@stuartbrownlee3108]

The world is a better place with your comedy genius in it. The way this world seems to be now, it badly needs it.

[@oblivionmedia]

Great vid. And that song at the end - ever thought of doing more? I'd pay to hear you sing for sure. You have a nice voice.

[@robclaridge6236]

You always crack me up.

[@elylara8335]

Just found this channel like a week ago...funny as all hell.

[@fusionspace175]

Oho, methinks the lady doth protest the Pokesex too much. (Sorry I had to after you mentioned it. Great vid, so funny! And what a singing voice, I love it.)

[@TMS9918A]

Little Nemo could have actually been a great Pokemon hack: just replace nemo with a pokemon trainer, change the candy to pokeballs, and redraw the animal helpers into appropriate pokemon.

[@GameThatTune]

What a great video. I'm so glad I've found your page. So very entertaining

[@oliverjoel5870]

Was hoping for a cameo from that full version of pokemon yellow that was ported to NES lol. Great video

[@BenchyTests]

That was fun. The Pikachu at the end looked more like the Jigsaw doll than a Pikachu.

[@viscountrainbows6452]

Bootleg cartridges have those Direct To Flea Market quality that has surely bamboozled many an unwitting adult who would think Goku is in Pokemon, and destroyed the faith in humanity of many a child. Also I love the rat babies, they should definitely feature more often🥺🐀😻🐀

[@MathewHaswell]

Octy made a channel for rats - Octavius Rats - but it died in the water after the first - and only - video received many negative comments. The vid's comment-section is now disabled.

[@Noisy_Snax]

How do you poke him onto a bus? You pikachu. No, wait. Shit.

[@cassandralyris4918]

"Cameltoe slit slap" sounds like it's straight out of a Go Nagai manga. 🤣

[@Choralone422]

LMAO! Great video! I hope you have been well. Looking forward to whatever comes next!

[@Aomedmon]

I laughed a lot at this one, thanks Octavius!

[@derloco2035]

Thanks again to our favourite video gama masochist for playing through so much garbage and entertaining us greatly with it. Thank you so much Octy, you are great!

[@KeriSqueak]

8:50 Ah, finally I have some useful knowledge to contribute! The attack you're looking for is "Clam Slam!" :D Apparently that's the vaggy version of teabagging *shrug*

[@coyoteartist]

I don't even need a KZbin video to look at it, I have one sitting literally 2 feet to my right. But I will watch the video before staring at it.

[@stevenwhuntva]

I'm going on a spree of watching your videos instead of what I'm supposed to be doing, wheeee!

[@brianartillery]

I laughed out loud at the little vehicles on the title screen of the 'Pokemon Blue' - They are the competitors from the cartoon show, 'Wacky Races'.

[@edrosa3485]

Have not smiled this much watching a KZbin video since one of your “adult “ famicon games...

[@JustMe-iw3ev]

18:45 Dear lord, that Pikachu seems like he's channeling Jigsaw's puppet, Billy, from the Saw movies.

[@captainnintendo]

Fantastic video, Octie I always find these kinds of bootleg videos kinda fascinating xD They're like forbidden rotten fruit... like wine xD I'm guessing Famiclone bootleg games weren't much of a thing for most of us here in Europe back in the late 90s/early 00s tho. I mostly remember Pokémon bootlegs to be Game Boy based for the most part. Usually just a sprite swap of either some Looney Tunes games or Smurfs games. There was this kid that had one called Pokémon Gogo that I remember catching my eyes back in elementary. One really cool memory I have of a bootleg Pokémon game was actually a rather cool one that almost sounds a little like the beginning of a creepypasta. It was back in '99 when my family visited London. After we had visited the big multi-story arcade at Trocadero we went to Chinatown to eat which was just in the area. But on the other side of the restaurant, there was this weird little store that sold all kinds of strange little knick-knacks. One of them being this new Pokémon game I had never seen before. It was in fact a multi-card of both Pokémon Gold AND Silver on a single cart where you could switch between them. It wasn't really a hack or anything though. It was in fact the full and complete games which were still like a full year away from release in the west. So you can probably imagine the excitement, being an 11-year-old kid that had this brand new Pokémon game that nobody else would have access to for months. The only problem was that the game was in Japanese which made it a huge pain to make progress in but I didn't care. I had a brand new Pokémon game that had so much new stuff in it compared to the original. There were colors, new pokemon, day and night cycles, and a much more streamlined and user-friendly design. It was perfect. And I actually did manage to brute force my whole way through the game despite the language barrier. But to be frank, I didn't really speak any English back then so even the normal games had a bit of a language barrier to them. But at least those used Latin letters. Hmm. I guess this story didn't really have THAT much to do with bootleg Pokémon games. Oh well.

[@liamoconnor7423]

When you wanna play Pokémon Gold but the cartridge is just a Ditto having an existential crisis and transforms into Eevee

[@widdowson91]

Based on the title I was kinda expecting to see a video on the Pokemon Diamond and Jade bootlegs, or at least for them to be mentioned, so I was pleased to see these instead. Much like yourself, I didn't know these existed either.

[@abadenoughdude300]

Ah, I remember downloading a Pokemon Diamond rom back around y2k. Never played it for more than 5 minutes due to "what the actual flub is this?!".

[@frankowalker4662]

That was so funny. As a child of the 70's, I know nothing about Pokemon, But even I can tell there's something wrong with these games. LOL. BTW, Great song at the end. :)

[@PunkRockMohawk]

You are a treasure! I absolutely adore you!

[@jonhu4127]

The song at the end made this video worth watching. Plus those are some bloody cute rats

[@lShadowdark]

At least that Cleffairy can camuflage, that is something Pokemon didn't think of...

[@dykodesigns]

The “Pokemon” game based on the Tiny Toons still has it’s original enemy characters in it by the looks of it. Still the exact same purple critters…. Gotta value the effort of those bootleggers, the lazy basters😁.

[@mightyfilm]

You gotta love how they're not even committed to changing the entire IP to be Pokemon themed. They didn't bother changing any of the Wacky Races guys to Pokemon, and I'd bet changing the characters in Tiny Toons would just give you the same Furball, Plucky, and Dizzy choices. Eevee's clearly going to be fighting Tom. It's lazy. Even a standard fan based rom hack would change the other characters. I know this is all just a scam, but COMMIT! And why does Blastoise look like a bad Huckleberry Hound? They couldn't even be arsed to make a Pokemon look like a Pokemon.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

You gotta give them a little grace as a lot of them are probably created by enthusiastic amateurs. It's young people trying to learn to make their own stuff. I would probably have a few of these trash ass hacks out there myself if I would have had just a tiny bit more natural art talent because I was trying to do the same stuff myself. The real lazy bastards are the ones who probably stole the ROM hacks online and then packaged and sold them. It's like quadruple piracy or something.

[@riskybitness]

I was like 16 or 17 when the pokémon cartoon premiered. I was never super into it, but now my 6 year old is a pokémon fanatic so I play Pokémon Go with him. It's good for bonding and it never hurts to get a little exercise.

[@SwanRonsonDonnyJepp]

You're right about the bonding...I too was in my teens when Pokémon came out, but my nephew's were well into it so I learned to play when babysitting them...They loved how their uncle could rhyme all the Pokémon off..Happy days 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@LordBarros]

I want Look A Rat on Spotify right now.

[@jazzygeofferz]

That "Blastoise" looked like Huckleberry Hound is having a bad day. Until you said it waas Wacky Races I thought it might have been a Yogi's Treasure Hunt game

[@binkman853]

Great video. Thanks! Laughed so much. Blastoise reminded me of Homer Simpson in a bear suit.

[@isocosahedron]

Well, I've seen plenty of terrifying drawings of Pokemon, but nothing could've prepared me for that cursed demonic Eevee. Guess now I know what creatue will drag my soul to hell.

[@JaxDagger]

This! the internet holds many a deranged drawing of anything and everything you love into something terribly worrying xD

[@MartinHenne]

never was into pokemon, but this one was fun to watch :-)

[@StefanEdek]

The ending song is awesome!

[@skelkankaos]

that Eevee on the cartridge art reminded me of a homestar runner bit about knock-off character art needing a human nose lol

[@ravikxavier607]

That Sandshrew looks like the monster from The Host, i keep expecting him to snatch a kid and runaway

[@autobotstarscream765]

That's Hypno's job.

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Hahaha those old pokemon games are so bad but so good at the same time, I'm so confused, great video, you so funny and keep up the good work

[@skeletorrobo]

A: Hey child, I got you Pokémon games for Christmas! B: Waaaaaaa-

[@monstrogoth]

I am really puzzled about the whacky races on the Pokemon blue intro screen...There are more than 30 years between those 2 licenses !

[@HaroldDuggart]

*Clefairy used Engulf. It was...something.*

[@TheBitKrieger]

Omg, I totally forgot about whacky races - I loved that game as a kid!

[@joeyparkhill8751]

hey Octav1us I have an idea for a game review: Earthworm Jim 3D for the N64 & PC

[@joelbrackenbury1274]

Yay new Octy vid!

[@theidealcopy_]

4:45 that blastoise looks like Homer Simpson and I can't unseeded it

[@joeyparkhill8751]

6:11 Poor Crappy Bastardized Blastoise :(

[@jonny_codphilo7809]

i remember learning the word engulf when playing secret of manna that special attack was super effective on my funny bone

[@DEMENTO01]

9:19 my body dysmorphia: "u look exactly like this"

[@greenhowie]

4:51 It's a cross between homer simpson and a slowpoke

[@mcdura]

that song at the end POG

[@sethwick8348]

Dick Dastardly punching the orange "blastoise" in the face killed me
