Although the game came into being around 2001, it did not become popular for years.  It's first appearance on the internet was on a [http://www.youtube.com/ YouTube] video uploaded by user [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCer8yyrVDti_NFYnwJ5hpJg Jizg] on November 9th, 2006, titled "Pirated Pokemon Crystal," that shows a brief five-minute playthrough of the game. The video has gained just short of 50,000 views to date, which is not that much taking into account that it has been on YouTube for over eight years at the time of this article's publication.  But this video did, however, lead the bootleg to greater things.

On March 8, 2011, [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCdXneAKtKlFUMRKHvlT08A DeliciousCinnamon] uploaded the first episode of a Let's Play series of a copy of Vietnamese Crystal that he received from outside sources that has gained over 890,000 views at the time of this article's publication.  This video popularized the bootleg game and is responsible for it reaching status as a meme.

After DeliciousCinnamon's video, talk of the pirated video game spread throughout the various corners of the internet.  Catchphrases derived from the game such as ''VOLCANO BAKEMEAT'', ''TRASHY'', and ''GO TO THE ELF'S WORLD'' became popular, and image macros and fanart were made centered around this terrible translation.  Even today, ''Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal'' still remains one of the most popular memes in the Pokémon fandom.
