Now, since I completely respect the laws on these sorts of things, I'll inform you that my sister does indeed own Pokemon Fire Red on a real Gameboy Advance, so it's not like I was being illegal in downloading this emulator or ROM. And that's the straight up truth.
Now, to get to the point of this thread. The ROM I downloaded seems to be, for lack of a better term, the R-rated verison of the classic we all enjoyed as kids. I can't tell if it was just translated by someone even more sarcastic and cynical than myself or if this was the actual dialogue that the Japanese creators of Pokemon came up with, but regardless of the reason behind it, this game is downright awesome. I can't help but to think that perhaps this was the original version, and us Americans just ended up with the PlaySkool edition so that we wouldn't taint our virgin minds. Anyway, here are a few fun screen captures my friend and I took while playing through the beginning parts of what I've come to call Pokemon Blood Red. Enjoy!

Remember the guy who wouldn't let you through the gate to Viridian Forest because he "hadn't had his coffee?" Yeah, turns out that what he meant by coffee was vodka.

Here's another favorite of mine. It was taken by my friend on her computer, so I'm not really sure what the context was. Either way, I think it's pretty awesome that this random Team Rocket guy is telling her female character to go "sell them for cash and prostitutes."

And my personal favorite, the "swearing little kid" picture. Robyn had just beaten up one of those shorts-loving camper kids, and apparently he wasn't all too pleased.
Keep in mind that these were all taken in and before the Mt. Moon part of the game, so even more awesomeness is sure to come as we continue our adventure in the morally bankrupt world of Pokemon! Stay tuned!
