As much as this was a bit of a parody, I'm glad there's SOME version of Hey You Pikachu that isn't region-locked (Yes I have a physical copy from off Ebay - 15 years ago - I can't play because I didn't know the N64 was region-locked) and it's GB so even better! It doesn't make Pikachu look like a featureless walking potato like the emulator does either! XD Thanks for making this!
two options: get an adapter for Japanese games or swap out the cartridge shells. credits to nicobbq on the latter option. if u compare the two, u will notice that the Japanese cart has the two dents in different positions.
Yeah but this isn't a Japanese cartridge XD This is American, and I have a PAL system 'cause Brit, where it was never released. I've tried a cheat cartridge for region swapping or whatever which didn't work no matter which way I tried it, and didn't surprise me too much because I understood it wasn't really a legal bit of tech but hey if Nintendo refuses to sell it on a working non-locked platform nowadays and I can't give them money for it....! And I still can't emulate it without some complicated faffing for the mic...!

Hey! It makes me so happy that you enjoyed it. HYP was one of my favorite games as a kid. Thanks for playing :)
Hopefully one day I can take my copy to a friend in America so I can play it properly like 25 years too late XD You're welcome! ^_^

Hey pikachu gay
Ok, the jokes made me crack in laughter LOL. Thanks for the game!
We still can’t see the ROM, can you add it for the entry to be valid for the gbcompo21?
Just added!
In case you weren't planning to already- don't forgot to make a downloadable ROM file available so the judges can test on actual hardware.
Oh yeah! Thank you :)
Very cool! I think my favorite part was all the little over-the-top jokes regarding Oak/your (my?) mom. That, and the pixel art for all the Pokemon!
