Pokemon Creepy Black demo patch released

Team Creepy Black, the team working on a patch inspired by the “super creepy Pokémon hack” story we shared months ago, has released its first demo!

As covered before, this isn’t an exact replica of the original haunted game, as it’s a modification of Pokémon FireRed for the GBA, not the Pokémon Game Boy releases.

I haven’t tried it out myself, as I don’t have a backup of FireRed to test the patch on, so I can’t say much about the quality or progress of the patch, but you can check out a screenshot and a video for an old build after the break:

Super creepy Pokémon hack

I stumbled on this unsettling story of an obscure Pokémon bootleg/art-hack that I thought might be neat to share on here. I think this originated from 4chan, so I’ve no idea if this hack actually exists. It probably doesn’t, but it’s still a great concept/tale!:

I’m what you could call a collector of bootleg Pokémon games. Pokémon Diamond & Jade, Chaos Black, etc. It’s amazing the frequency with which you can find them at pawnshops, Goodwill, flea markets, and such.

They’re generally fun; even if they are unplayable (which they often are), the mistranslations and poor quality make them unintentionally humorous.

I’ve been able to find most of the ones that I’ve played online, but there’s one that I haven’t seen any mention of. I bought it at a flea market about five years ago.
