User Neojapan has a Brazilian Pokemon Yellow up for sale on his Nintendo Age thread, when I PM'd him asking for information about it he responded saying it was the same as the US release just in Brazil. Of course this didn't tell me anything as that information is listed in his thread. I was wondering if anyone could shine a bit of light on this for me.

(It's the Pokemon Yellow that is obviously not in English and has no part no.)

He's saying it's not very interesting. No portuguese translation. It looks to me from a quick mercado livre search game boy owners there, have a wide mix of US+JPN+EU+bootleg almost at random.
As I understand game companies treat brazil wrong. Supposedly Sony had the stupidity to launch PS2 at over 400% its then-current new US price. Let alone used.

It's the US game. Just the portuguese front and back labels and a sticker of the Nintendo authorized dealer on the back. The same sticker in all Nintendo products, like Rumble Paks and Controllers.
We didn't get a translated version like spanish talking countries did.
For good, IMO. It's totally weird playing in spanish, imagine in portuguese... They shouldn't have translated the moves!

It's only good for us who can speak english, dude. You gotta remember that not everyone can...translating is important - specially with a text-heavy game like Pokémon.

I agree. The companies complain about the rampant piracy here, but one of the reasons that it won't go down is the abusive prices practiced 'round here. They like to blame our high taxes for that, but it's not the only reason and we know it.

Just a nitpick here- but the games were in Japanese originally so its equally weird for them to be in English. :) For voice overs Ill admit that Spanish dubs are usually horrrrrrible without a doubt though.
