The more I thought about this though, the more interested I became. Who knows, maybe there was a pair of these hacks and I just got the red one. The name was odd however, Strangled Red? That made no sense, not even in a morbid description of someone being asphyxiated, as people turn blue when choking, not red. Oh well, it was free, might as well try it. Hacks were neat and all, but they had zero monetary value, the originals quite valuable by now, and I wanted to play Red anyway, not this crap. I was rather disappointed by what I saw when the title screen showed up.
I had Blue Version as a kid, so I was a bit eager to see the, albeit minimal, differences Red Version had. Just a plain old Red Version, the sticker torn slightly across the Charizard's neck, but that was expected with such an old game. Thinking nothing more, I simply went home, looking at the cartridge's sticker on the way. He didn't even have a game boy anyway, he just liked Pokemon. Their son made a grab for it, a little boy who saw the Charizard on the cover, crying out "Mommy! I want Pokemon!", but his mother told him no, seeing as I found it. I, of course, checked with my neighbour confirm if they actually didn't want it, though they seemed perplexed as if they'd never seen it in their life. I noticed the game and asked the trash man if I could take it, and he didn't seem to mind. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting these creepy people, I merely found this particular cartridge in a trash bin when the garbage truck backed into my neighbour's dumpster. I grew interested in these hacked games that are apparently in any thrift store, on eBay, or handed out by homeless people to random passersby. God, don't these writers know less is more when it comes to these stories? Ah well, I digress. Some are ridiculous, silly stories about individuals dying after playing a game, or the game talking to them. Some of them really quite neat, such as the one about a version where you get a ghost as a starter. There are tons of stories out there about hacked Pokemon games.
