1. In Japan, it was easier and cheaper getting blank disks rather than it was for cartridges as they would have been made by Nintendo. At one point disks could hold more data but changed when larger ROM cartridges came in and publishers jumped in when they got cheaper. The bootleg Famicom cartridges were made after for other markets in China and Taiwan (e.g. the likes of the Micro Genius and Dendy Famiclones). There was actually a piracy scene for the FDS and one of the reasons why Nintendo was put off with the disk format (the next attempt N64DD never took off). Similar to the Amiga and the Atari ST in Europe where the publishers and the sceners were playing cat and mouse with copy protection, after all the FDS disks weren't much different than the floppy disks that were used for keyboards (both music and word processors) outside of the NINTENDO text.

2. Since it's not licensed by Nintendo, there was no restriction. NSFW art is actually fairly common in Japan but usually stuck to computers. There was also a couple of unlicensed Japanese Mega Drive games that had NSFW content.

3. See 1 but they also didn't want to pay the fee and wanted all of the money. Licensed FDS games also required Nintendo to own half the game's copyright, it was also the reason why Square nearly went bankrupt because they invented too much on the FDS and developed Final Fantasy on cartridge. Some of these may also be yakuza fronts, even a few licensed publishers were either owned, controlled or were connected to them.

1. Probably was easier to make a bunch of disks for the FDS than trying to make their own cartridges.

2. It's a bootleg, they can have whatever they want on it.

3. Same reason the US NES had unlicensed games, either Nintendo would have vetoed the game outright or whoever made the bootlegs didn't want to pay the licensing fee.

Pokémon Cards (Colorless)

The explanation for those who don't get the joke in GigaX's comment: "Colorless" is the term used in the Trading Card Game that is primarily used for Normal-type Pokémon from the mainline RPG games. Being a Game Boy Color game, they are in color, and having "colored Colorless" sprites is an oxymoron.

Gonna cross-post what I mentioned on the respective GBA sheet.

Not really! Apparently the exact phrasing of the (SNES) manual implies Flagitious is a completely separate character which is never seen.

"Managing Heck can be a pretty tiring job, even for Evil the Cat. That's why, in the off-season, he changes jobs with his cousin Flagitious and runs the traveling ''Circus of the Scars"."

And also:

"ProTip: Evil the Cat doesn't have his pilot's license yet and isn't too maneuverable in the air, so try avoiding whatever spot he goes off the screen, cause that's where he comes back down."

...which implies that it is indeed Evil the Cat.
