Game Description:
The Devil Children series was Atlus’ answer to Pokemon. There are three Gameboy Color versions: Black, Red, and White. In each of these games, you play as a different Devil Child (half human, half demon).
It’s not quite like Pokemon as it has a somewhat stronger storyline (though that’s not saying much). Much like some other Shin Megami Tensei games, you recruit demons by talking to them in battle.
Translation Description:
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Children: Black Book was the first in the Devil Children series. The first three entries were never released outside of Japan, but the GBA games were released as DemiKids; overall, translation choices from DemiKids were not used in this translation, instead opting to stick with most of the names used by the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games.
Title screen and battle icons are untranslated.
The readme includes a list of passwords that can be used to unlock event-only demons after the game has been completed.

Rough but functional
Reviewed By: viraljames on 13 Mar 2022The script clearly needed another pass, but if you (like me) played games like Sword of Hope and Wild Arms in your youth, you’ll be able to handle this.
