"Pokemon Advance Generation" For Sega Pico (Part 1)

[Supertaco117]

OCRemix thank you for enlightening me

[AmstradExin]

Looks like that Touchpad isnt really made for even simple Hiragana?????? :D

[TouKxiePie]

"This is not a ROM"

Yeah, my fucking ass.

[kiddocabbusses]

@TouKxiePie What would make you think I'd have a ROM? I don't even know how to do a dump on a Pico Storybook. -If you could provide me a ROM dumping method I could actually use, I'd gladly dump and release this.-

Besides, my videos are filled with obvious DVD Macroblocking because they were recorded in it's SLP equivalent.

[TouKxiePie]

@kiddocabbusses

Got a reaction out of you, didn't it? ;D

Mission = Successful

[kiddocabbusses]

@TouKxiePie When comments are disabled on my videos I'll make sure people know who to blame. >:{

[TouKxiePie]

@kiddocabbusses

ROFL Awwwww, I'm sorry XDDD Tell ya what, I'm good at math. Ever need any supply and demand equations figured out, I'm your guy xDDD

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

Holy shit, that was a pro move right there. I hope I can be as awesome as you when I grow up.

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy

:D With much training and years of devote dedication, you too can be adept in the art of the Troll as I am, my son. Now go! Find you a victim and bring him to tears!!

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

I was being sarcastic. I actually think you're not funny at all and that you're just embarassing yourself.

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy My child, only I can determine if I'm embarrassing my self or not, and since I'm not embarrassed at all, what would that mean? :3 And of course you were being sarcastic, much as I was being over-literal to your comment.

You don't think I'm funny. An opinion well-noted, respected, recorded, and preserved for a later date. Of what relevance it has towards anything now? Nobody will ever know.

Who's wasting whose time now, hm? :3

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

Yeah, you're right. I told you that you were wrong and why, and if you're not going to do anything about it I don't see why I should.

Goodbye.

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy ROFL Actually, you didn't mention anywhere that I was wrong nor why XD Much less you wouldn't be able to, because "wrong" is all a matter of opinion and opinions cannot be proven.

And what could I honestly do about it, hm? Get pissed? Start a flame-war? XD That'd just be silly.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

I said goodbye.

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy And I read it. It's sitting there plain as day, in black and white :3

Do you really have to reiterate something that obvious? XD

Again, who's wasting whose time now? :3

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

...fuck, why am I laughing at this?

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy

The same reasons I am, silly xD

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@TouKxiePie

Goddammit.

YOU WIN THIS TIME

[TouKxiePie]

@IshidaTheQuincy

*bows* Another tally for my collection xD

[themonger42]

this reminds me of that typing game for the macintosh that Burger King was giving out in the 2000's.

this game is adorable, thanks for sharing

[gritapuertorico]

There's a Pokemon game on a Sega system. There's a POKEMON game on a SEGA system.

[coronataesartu]

TV Tropes brought me here.

[kiddocabbusses]

@coronataesartu Which article? Sega Pico doesn't have one of it's own at the moment.

[coronataesartu]

@kiddocabbusses Pokemon Trivia section.

[TheATricker]

@kiddocabbusses The Pokemon trivia page.

[Tawp64]

I've had a Pico my whole life, and I live in America. I was the only person my whole life that I've known to have a Pico.

Years later I discover that there's a Pokemon game on it? And I thought that Sonic game was cool!

[DraBahamutShirocenny]

i wonder if it popular nintendo will be a Pokemon game on the Psp vita aka Psp 2 or the original Psp XD

[NeoHopeSTF]

Just when i thought pokemon would not be on aynthing but Nintendo Systems

[jjvictor66]

WTFFFFFFF A POKEMON GAME ON A SEGA CONSOLE

and i thought i'd seen everything =_=

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

DAAAAAAAMNNN...... THISSS IISSSSS SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL..­........

[xela12345]

So this was the prequel to Pokemon Typing DS, I'm really looking forward to trying that game, so I guess I'll try this out on emulator too!

[GojiGuy]

wait a second... the Pico was an ancient piece of hardware by the time this game came out!

[zakawer]

Nintendo on Sega

[sneskegagama]

SO...I HERD SUM THINGS...That MUDKIP LIEKS SEGA.

[DoobieMaster69]

This is wrong.

[unko8818]

さ

せ～が～！

[supergamerbros]

SEGA on Nintendo

Nintendo on SEGA

[Sbtrctr]

UMAI UMAI

[SnorlaxMonster]

Wow, that game looks very dull and repetitive

[SomeFluffer64]

WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH! This is a NINTENDO game for SEGA pico?!

[iDuckFilms]

What's funny is 1. Nitendo on a Sega console 2. Looks like "Mudkip teaches Writing".

[sonicfangamer2]

I was wondering, If the Sega Pico can support voices and TV show sounds, Why did they do Sega Game Gear sounds and music? Just weird.

[kiddocabbusses]

@sonicfangamer2 It is kinda strange when I think about it - most of the specs of the Pico seem to be on par with or slightly better than Megadrive, and it tends to show with the bigger graphics and a higher voice FX count per Pico game than Pulseman. I'm guessing they just skimped out on the sound thinking most kids wouldn't need heart-pounding or emotionally-stringing music competing with the main console scene.

[HaloSpartanG13]

@kiddocabbusses The Pico lacks the YM2162, but still has the SMS/GG sound chip.

[uberkoopa]

This game was made in 2003, and Sega was no longer a hardware developer then, and since Pico is more of a toy, Nintendo didn't care about their franchise on a Sega console. Yet, it's still weird seeing Pokemon 16-bit and on a Sega console.

[MHMemeDoubleYourFun]

This was made for the same reason Pokemon anime-related merchandise were made for. The Sega Pico is technically not the game console most of you saying "It's Nintendo on Sega! OMGWTFBBQLOL!!!" think.

[tkwtube01]

Forget about the fact that it's Nintendo on Sega...

It's somehow new enough (2003) that a MUDKIP is on the title screen! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO THE WORLD, GAME FREAK?!?

[kiddocabbusses]

@tkwtube01 They heard you liked them.

[MHMemeDoubleYourFun]

@kiddocabbusses I don't get it. What's the point of the "i herd u like mudkips" meme? Do they actually mean "I heard you like to make love with Mudkips and have children"?

[Mance200]

@tkwtube01 Never came to thunk that Gen 3 was in Japan(where the Sega Pico reigns in glory) earlier than in the Americas?

[kiddocabbusses]

@IzumoNoTakumi Thanks for the translations there.

One more thing to note; there was a bit of sections of recording which I skipped. While most of it was just more writing sessions, I skipped what would happen on the final page if you don't have all of the Pokemon you can get (basically, you're sent to the status screen and blocked from viewing the final sequence, but are able to check the status of what Pokemon you've got and all. I don't recall if there's any new dialog during that.)

[kiddocabbusses]

@IzumoNoTakumi Hey, nice translation so far!

If this helps any, I'll lend some additional contextual notes.

To begin, on the input side, the Storybook pages look similar to the actual on-screen story events, except they have a bit of text (same as page opening dialog, I'd guess) and buttons to lead to the writing courses and the minigames.

Also, the lines of dialog which are preceeded by a beep sound effect occur when I click certain areas of a page with the Pico's Pen. Usually the characters.

[Zawicki1]

Wow. I've seen this before, but who would have expected to see a licensed Pokemon game on qa Sega system?

[DarthKain0]

Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about! SEGA does what Nintendon't!

[Horizons1]

How did this happen if this is indeed legit?

[ryuuseiSoul]

Lol I should get this to help me learn hiragana and katakana xP

[AylaVoets]

hey kiddo, how about a ROM? *runs like hell*

Love,

Ayla xoxoxoxo

[SkieBluFox]

Goddamn, this is amazing.

[Luigifan2000]

The first Pokémon game to be powered by Blast Processing!

[joe9320]

Sheesh, some of the Hiragana characters take a lot of strokes to write!

[Morty340]

I wish someone could translate what everyone here is saying.

Thanks for showing that there's a Pokemon Pico game!

[Theretrogamingroom]

Ive heard of sega games on a nintendo,

but a nintendo game on a sega? wow!

[MediocrexGenerica]

I wish I still had my damn Pico. ): I miss it. Haha. I would've loved to have a Pico game with a friggin mudkip on it. x) Haha. My favorite Pico game was a Richard Scarry one which I can't find any videos on...

[kiddocabbusses]

@MediocrexGenerica

"Huckle and Lowly's Busiest Day Ever?"

Strange, that's one of the most common ones to find - I got it with my Pico regardless of interest, because I wanted a Pico to play this game on. Well, this and Cutie Honey. lol.

If i can get back to recording videos, I'll see if I can record that game as well, alright?

[MediocrexGenerica]

@kiddocabbusses Yeah thats what it was! Haha. Its just when I look it up on Youtube I never get results, but I did find one guy that did it but the quality wasn't as good as this one, plus he didn't really know what he was doing. Haha. But thanks!

[Lumpytoast]

I can't believe this is a real game.

[Geno11116]

oh.......

[Geno11116]

i am getting an idea this is only in ja[an (game not consle)

[23catlover]

@Geno11116 it teaches young japanese kids japanese lettering

[AFNYOAQIS]

this is the only pokemon game on a sega console if im correct

[kiddocabbusses]

@AFNYOAQIS

Nope. There's two more Pokemon Pico games, and at least one Pokemon Beena game.

[SpecialKyo]

Wow. Pico is from 1996 if i'm correct. I'm really suprise, i was a little kid when i had one.

[StalkerXIII]

Wait a minute!! Pokemon, a Nintendo game, on a SEGA console? Sega Pico, which PREDATES Advance Generation? ARE YOU SURE THIS IS REAL?

[kiddocabbusses]

Sega Pico had a really long lifespan in Japan. The copyright year for this game - 2003 - and "Futari wa Pretty Cure" - 2004 - attests to this.

(And yes, I stand by my saying that this is a real product. And that there's at keast 2 more Pokemon games on the Pico I haven't actually laid hands on yet.)

[StalkerXIII]

Weird, but cool. In a way, the Pico would've been the only Sega "Console" still around at that point (After the Dreamcast went bye bye) and I guess seeing as Sonic began appearing on Nintendo consoles at that time, I guess it makes sense...

[alphamone]

sega seems to have had a number of thier consoles recieve games long after produciton of that console had stopped.

[1983parrothead]

Yes, but this is based on the anime and was released exclusively in the Philippines.

[FlyingDuckMan360]

I Think The World is Coming to an End...

[Pocket2011]

I know LMAO

[LeoFan93]

well this came out when Nintendo and Sega were over their rivalry and were good friends, think about it, we got Sega on Nintendo consoles, why not Nintendo on Sega consoles?

[StalkerXIII]

I know, I just find it weird that the Pico lived for that long. It came out around the time when the Megadrive/Genesis was reaching the climax of it's life; and that it didn't die until after Sega had already discontinued production on the Dreamcast.

[Occono]

The Sega Pico is part of the "Sega Toys" division, which is basically the equivalent of Vtech toy computers.

[eekas1]

Pokemon on a Sega Console it doesn't make any sense!?!?!

[ContraNeo2]

Team Rocket must be disguised as some Sega corporates that are asking Ash to sign a contract for making a Pokemon game for their latest Sega console.

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

@ContraNeo2 THE IDEA OF TEAM ROCKET BEING DISGUISED AS SOME SEGA CORPORATES ASKING ASH TO SIGN A CONTRACT FOR MAKING A POKEMON GAME FOR THEIR LATEST SEGA CONSOLE MAKES SENSE SEEING AS HOW THE GAME INVOLVES LEARNING TO WRITE AND ASH DOESN'T GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE HE PLAYS POKEMANS ALL DAY TO BE A POKEMAN MASDURR.

[Aurakitsune]

Nintendo on Sega?!

Bricks. Were. SHAT.

[1983parrothead]

Yes, but this is based on the anime and was released exclusively in the Philippines.

[KurosanNitebird]

Interesting; how much did the game cost you, if I may ask?

[kiddocabbusses]

For the uber-technicality of it, I got this and Cutie Honey Flash for a combined total of 5,700 yen.

Most of that money was pure shipping charges.- the games themselves aren't that expensive for a native, but the cartridges are large and come in non-standard heavy plastic packaging.

[KurosanNitebird]

I see, I see. That's cool then, it's not too expensive for some nice collectibles.
