(D/L) Those 'other' Pokemon versions, part 1

I see it now - you're a Pokemon fan. You've followed the series since grade school. You made sure to keep up with all the different variations... Gold, Silver, Emerald, etcetera. But then you searched for Pokemon stuff on sites like eBay and iOffer and realized that there are OTHER VERSIONS out there you never even heard of! You need to buy them as soon as possible!

Yeah, don't bother.

I've noticed recently, even though eBay no longer permits these unauthorized "Versions," more permissive sites like iOffer have dozens of sellers trying to pawn bootleg Pokemon carts off to unsuspecting buyers. People should've caught onto the telltale signs - cheap cover art (seriously, you should see the back cover blurbs on these things), dull-looking cartridges, inconsistent fonts, and oh yeah, the fact that Nintendo never promoted them. But they still sell. And they shouldn't.

So, I've searched the Internet far and wide to bring you ROMs of the most common pirate "Versions." You can play them for free and see what you would've wasted your money on, instead of putting money in a scammer's pocket.

Here's the first pack:

Arcoiris [Rainbow]
CrystalShards
Diamond [Telefang: Power Version]
Frigo Returns
Naranja [Orange]
Perla
Quartz

The second batch will come tomorrow. In the meantime, go out and buy REAL Nintendo versions! They're a hell of a lot more entertaining and/or playable.
