''Pocket Monster'' is an infamous bootleg game developed by DVS Electronic Co., released sometime in late-1998 for the UsefulNotes/SuperNintendo and 2000 for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis.

The game is a platformer where the player controls Pikachu and guides them through levels; by jumping on enemies heads, they are able to charge a meter for a screen nuke. Strangely, it was popular enough to warrant a sequel titled ''Pocket Monster II'', where instead of a screen nuke, Pikachu throws Poke-balls.

It was then, for whatever reason, re-skinned by Sintax and re-released as the equally notorious ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', which itself served as the basis for future fighting games by Sintax.

!!''Pocket Monster'' and ''Pocket Monster II'' contains examples of...
* AWinnerIsYou: The ending is a bunch of Pikachus, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer seriously]].
* CheckpointStarvation: Getting a game over sends the player back to the start.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Most noticable when going from the original to ''II'', as there is no screen nuke; you instead [[{{Irony}} throw Poke-balls at other enemies]].
* RecycledSoundtrack: It uh, likes to "borrow" music from other sources, '''a lot'''.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: Obviously.

!!''Digimon Adventure'' ([[IHaveManyNames and all its derivatives]]) contains examples of...
* BlindIdiotTranslation: Specifically, the plot for ''Sonic 3 Fighter Sonic'' is a poorly translated version of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'''s.
* CapcomSequelStagnation: '''Is it ''ever'''''.
* CheckpointStarvation: Like with Pocket Monster, getting a game over sends the player back to the start.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: Or, I guess in this case, "Cut and Paste Level Layouts"; '''EVERY''' re-release of ''Digimon Adventure'' use the same level layouts.
* DolledUpInstallment: ''Everything'' reskin of the GBA game, which have ''nothing'' to do with the original.
* IHaveManyNames: There are at least '''''17 different versions''''' of the GBA game floating around.
* NeverTrustATitle: ''Sonic 3 Fighter Sonic'' would have you think that it's based off ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog3'', when it's actually based on ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance''.
* ObviousBeta: All reskins of the GBA port, which suffer from various technical issues.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: Obviously, again.
* TranslationTrainWreck: The Rayman IV release, which was originally translated in English as 'Sunshine of trip'.
