Recently there's been a lot of internet grumbling about a supposed Pokemon bootleg known as Pokemon Black. In fact, the game has turned into a bit of an urban legend, as nobody seems to actually possess a copy of this cart. Apparently Black is a hack of the original Game Boy's Pokemon Red which features a Pokemon called Ghost. Ghost can only use one attack called Curse. Using Curse instantly kills the opponent, so you naturally breeze through the game. Supposedly at the end of the game you become an old man, your horrible Poke-killing deeds flash before your eyes and then Ghost attacks you -- which invariably ends badly for you.

Many message boards have gone into a frenzy discussing this game, though nobody can seem to prove its existence. However one group of ROM-hackers have decided to try to make the game a reality, though it will be in the form of a patch that can be applied to the GBA's enhanced remake FireRed.

I recently contacted Team Creepy Black to get some details and share them with readers of GBPL. Here's what I found out for you guys:




noiseredux: First of all tell us a bit about yourself.

Kiekos: Well, I'm Kiekoes, but my real name is Bas, I'm 14 and live in Holland.

noiseredux: How and when did you first hear about Pokemon Black?

Kiekos: When the story was posted on GBAtemp.

noiseredux: What made you decide to make your own version of the infamous game?

Kiekos: Well, it's not my own, we we're discussing about the fact; is it possible to make it and then we got a team of developers, a page on GBAtemp and a website.

noiseredux: And how many people are on Team Creepy Black?

Kiekos: There are 13 or 14 people in the team.

noiseredux: How is the project going as far as have you hit any problems or anything like that?

Kiekos: The project is doing very well, we haven't encountered big problems so far.

noiseredux: Do you expect the project to be done this year?

Kiekos: We hope so but we can not guarantee.

noiseredux: How do you plan to distribute the finished product?

Kiekos: There will be a downloadable IPS Patch, users have to find their own copy of the ROM.

noiseredux: What kind of feedback have you gotten so far?

Kiekos: Well, mostly positive, some people are upset about the fact that we're doing FireRed instead of Red, but that's the only thing so far.

noiseredux: Why did you decide to hack FireRed rather than Red?

Kiekos: We chose Fire Red over the original due to the the originals engine limitation.

noiseredux: Have you heard anything either from Nintendo or from anyone claiming to have been behind the original Pokemon Black?

Kiekos: No.

noiseredux: What are the chances you might put together some actual Creepy Black cartridges?

Kiekos: Slim to none.




Now maybe what you all have been more interested in seeing, the first official screens from the project!

Sounds fun. Maybe itll be out in time for the real pokemon black and white XP http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml
 
Odd. Basically an urban legend made into reality.
 
Great.  I love videogame related urban legends.  Maybe someone can work on putting a Sasquatch in San Andreas, or the Ratman in GTA IV.
 
Pokemon never die.
I like the idea behind it but if i get a chance to play it i already have the feeling i won't like the execution.

Pokemon Green was a rumor back in the day too. But it existed in Japan and just got a name change in the US.
 
oddly, their forum has been suspended due to inactivity...
 
I'd be more likely to think with Pokemon Black and White on the horizon Nintendo had something to do with this...
