Full Card Art
I had to make up a name for this bootleg - it's one of the rarer bootlegs that show up in the US without ANY english on them. (OK, "2 in 1" is in english. But if you can translate any of the rest, please let me know!)

On the usual single-sided backboard the the amazing "2 in 1" top and disc launcher.

The top is pretty standard, but is topped with a really crappy rendtion of a Pokemon character (Either new molds, or molds so old and distorted that they're really worthless.)

The mini-disc shooter lifts images from the Dragonball-Z line. Character images are stuck on the front of the disks, as shown below.

There are at least four different Pokemon-Bootleg tops to be found: Bublasuar, Celfairy (or Wigglytuff - it's hard to tell. It's painted like Pikachu), Charmander, and Pikachu.

Bulbasaur Celfairy
Charmander Pikachu
The backboard has a pretty standard rip-off of the Ash/Pikachu team.

Package Art Detail
Overall, not that exciting of a bootleg, but the cross between Dragonball-Z and Pokemon is novel.
