Pokemon Chaos Black Pokémon Chaos Black is a third party bootlegged/pirated version of Pokémon FireRed that was released on the Game Boy Advance and as a ROM. The game features a slightly modified map, some new graphics, 60+ new Pokémon and a tweaked storyline. The game was produced to fill the void left by the lack of a special edition version of FireRed and LeafGreen. History The game was developed by 'MewThree Inc.' and was released online in 2004 and on GameBoy Advance in 2005. When playing the game, the chance of a Shiny Pokémon appearing are 100-1 which is considerably greater than FireRed's 8,000-1. The game also features new Legendary Pokémon such as MewThree, MewThree X and MewTrance spin-offs of Mew and MewTwo. The Pokémon on the box and menu screen was inspired or created on a character from the Sonic The Hedgehog series called "Chaos", who appears in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Sonic Battle and many other games. Although in the game Chaos is impossible to get, it serves as the game's mascot like gold's mascot is ho-oh. also the game has swearing in it. Legal Issues The game's legality is a big issue - it was created as a non-profit fan-game, but is still considered an illegal or bootlegged product as is it not licensed by Nintendo. Nintendo has taken no legal action against the developers, 'MewThreeInc'. However, Chaos Black is not made any more copies and, in turn, has become more of a collectors' or rare item. It is sold in online marketplaces such as eBay and Craigslist.
