The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. ''Quartz'' replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon such as the rooster Pokémon Cottoster and the legendary Pokémon Kaosune, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in Corna, a heavily-edited Hoenn, and the player must navigate a very different series of paths. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.
