Pocket Monster, your developer just got leaked. xD

Okay I am going to start off explaining so you PocketMonster fan-boys don't get so mad.
1. Really, no proof in the actual rom it's makon.
2. Just LISTEN, PLZ.

Okay, ever heard of Pokemon MewTwo Strikes Back? (or Digimon Pocket by Makon)

Well, why not compare it to Pocket Monster, the awesome (for you probably but not for me) game?

1. SAME ENEMIES.
2. The beedrill does the same attack in both games, and so does the monkey.
3. Don't that Pikachu look the same?!
4. The first boss, wow is it easy to kill.
5. Sort of the same map layout?

And here are reasons it might not be Makon.

1. The music is awesome (but stolen maybe?)
2. The graphics, WOW. You don't see that in MakonSoft GBC titles.
3. The engine is different by a bit. If it is MakonSofts port, then shit I'm impressed by the jumping not being fucked.
4. Those sound effects aren't half bad.  cool:

And here's some NEW evidence..

1. You see the characters fly out the screen? That happens in Sintax's glitchy platformer engine.

And that's all I got for tonight. Just don't get mad at me for comparing.  >_>

Hmmm, but Pocket Monster itself shares a few similarities with Mulan, which is itself built from the same engine as Hercules 2 which is generally believed to be made by Gametec...

But playing Pocket Monster and then comparing it to the games I just mentioned, this plays and seems to be designed a whole lot worse.

Stolen engine, badly implemented? It does smell of Yong Yong.

I think Makon just ripped it off, honestly.

I think Makon just ripped it off, honestly.[/quote]As in just ripped off Pocket Monster MD and threw it onto their Digimon Pocket/Pokemon MewTwo Strikes Back?
Hmm...Yes, that seems VERY likely.

I've played through Mewtwo Strikes Back and while it's similar to the MD game, it's certainly not the same people.  The Megadrive version is much better programmed and the game engine in Mewtwo Strikes Back is just typical Makon nonsense.  It's nothing for a pirate company, even Makon, to mimic stuff from other games, especially a generic unlicensed platformer that wasn't amazing tech-wise to begin with; after all, they managed to get some things accurate when they did Super Mario 3 Special, such as the shells and coin blocks.  And I'm pretty sure the team behind Pocket Monsters and whatnot made all their games work properly and be beatable on real hardware unlike Makon.  Their games show effort to some degree, Makon doesn't.
