As we wait for that fanmade hack of Pokémon FireRed to replicate the mythical Pokémon Black, you can carry the next best thing in your DS – Pokemon Ghost Black ReTold, a homebrew visual novel of the tale!

Developer Multiple: Option, creator of many intriguing DS games/apps like Game Trivia Catechism and Snatcher Pilot DS, has created this visual novel for the ongoing Neoflash 2010 Coding Contest.

It’s a simple program that displays text from the “super creepy Pokémon hack” post on the bottom screen, but throws in some images on the top display for extra flavor/creepiness. It’s almost like a special edition version of the story!

[Update: Oh God, there’s an extended ending in this homebrew edition, and it’s wayyyy scary.]
