Summary

Pocket Monster is an unlicensed platformer based off the Pokémon series for the Mega Drive and SNES. Like the Famicom pirate, players control Pikachu through numerous side-scrolling levels with a boss at the end of each. Although some of the enemies encountered are Pokémon such as Beedrill, Porygon and Diglett, the others are taken from Magical Taluluto-kun, Syd of Valis, and Super Metroid with different palettes.
