Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back (寵物小精靈之超夢夢反擊戰) is an unlicensed platformer for the Game Boy Color developed by Makon Soft. It is based on Pocket Monster (Genesis/SNES).

Overview[]

Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back runs on a revamped engine (but still quite glitchy) version of Makon Soft's Digimon engine. The game has 8 stages, all of which are an improvement from their earlier works. Most of the enemies are taken (or at least based) from Pocket Monster, and so is the Pikachu sprite. Playing this on an original Game Boy instead of the Game Boy Color will play a different intro sequence from the Genesis/SNES version of Pocket Monster.

This section is about the Makon Soft game. For the Vast Fame role-playing game of the same name, see Pokémon Ruby (Vast Fame).

Pokémon Ruby (寵物小精靈-紅寶石版) (not to be confused with the real licensed Pokémon Ruby for Game Boy Advance or the Vast Fame game of the same name) is a variant of Pokémon Mewtwo Strikes Back developed by Makon Soft for the Game Boy Color. Like the original game, Pokémon Ruby contains eight levels, with five of the levels being from the original game and the first three being brand new. All mechanics from the original game are retained in this variant.

While the better known version is the English version, there is also a Chinese version released by Guangzhou Li Cheng Industry & Trade Co that has a debug mode enabled. The debug mode adds a stage select and makes enemies the player comes in contact with to act like the Poké Ball item in the game, though even this seems glitchy as the game will not always count enemy contact as such. Another problem with debug mode is that it makes the game even harder to beat because touching a boss makes it disappear, and the game does not count the boss as defeated if this happens.

Trivia[]

  • A few Super Mario Special 3 sprites still remain in the game's data.
  • The name of the game is also the subtitle of the first Pokémon movie released in 1998.
  • The ROM's name in its header is "POCKETMONSTER3", meaning that this was likely released after the other two Pocket Monster platformers.
