Alright... what!?

As an arcade collector and a general expert in the field, I have found no information on this beyond what is given at KLOV, nor have any of my fellow collectors I have asked. The game is called "Himshou Goran Pocket Monster". Can someone tell me what this means, or at least translate it into Japanese characters for me to search for? Does anybody know how this game works, or have any information on it?

If this belongs in Simple Questions feel free to move it, but as it is not a very simple question, and I would like to be able to update as I find further information, I thought this was the right place and way to post it.

Thank you in advance.
 
Bump out of interest.

I can't help you much though
I will note that here it actually says hinshou Goran.
The Romanization posted is either wrong, or that's how it supposed to be said.

I didn't find anything in my dictionary, But, I'll ask my teacher.
I'm pretty sure that's an English word or phrase that makes no sense once we re-transliterate it.


...But it sounds like an arcade version of RGB, which I don't think would be all too great.
 
Arcade version of RGB..Anime style!

..
Seriously though, this seems like an odd concept. Is it even anime-style or did the person who made that change just call Red "Ash" and Blue "Gary"?
 
I have never heard of it. Nor have i seen any pokemon arcade games in all the arcades i've been to.
There IS a japan only pokemon arcade game, according to bulbapedia. And i have seen F-Zero arcade and Mario Kart Arcade machines before.
 
Very Rare - There are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector. This does not automatically mean that no examples exist, or even that only one or two machines exist.

Wanted - No members have added this machine to their wish list. Please note that many collectors are not members or do not list their desires here, and it is likely that a number of collectors might purchase this machine if offered it at the right price.

This game ranks a 0 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.


0?
 
Heh... if no examples are given at all, a game doesn't receive a numerical grade. Even when factored in with the other percentages, no matter how high you round it 0 is still 0. It is an odd system, though.

d.aisuke- that actually helps A LOT. The incorrect romanization has been screwing me up majorly when turning it back and doing Japanese searches. I can't thank you enough. Also, part of it says the gameplay is akin to Gauntlet, so I doubt it's a direct port o_o I just don't know what to think xD

Somari again- no clue. I know nothing of it to know if it's anime or not. I would assume so.

Gligar- that article refers to recent arcade release Battrio. It's fun too, but not what I'm after. Thanks though.
 
It sounds like an earlier prototype for Gen I, although the naming system suggests that the person who wrote this discription follows the anime's canon. By the way, do you find it strange that Blue/Gary/Potato is referred to as "Evil"? I know he's a dick in Gen I (as is Gary early on in the anime), but I don't see why he would be considered evil.
 
Early prototype? On an arcade machine? 4 years after it was made?

Whoops, got the dates mixed up in my head. Now I have it figured out... it was obviously an attempt at an arcade port of Gen 1 with Yellow Version mixed in there!
