>>37600258There are plenty of them that were clearly reused.
You realize he lies and makes shit up as he goes, right?
Whiscash was clearly beta Qwilfish evo, for example. Beta Lickilicky became Slowbro and was then given it's own thing.
Saying an 8 Bit sprite for Leafeon doesn't look the same is just retarded. No shit it's less detailed. Everything is less detailed early on.
Most of the cross Gen evos for Gen 4 were clearly reused from the Gen 2 beta. Hell, a chunk of the map was too.
Sounds more to me like he's trying to take all of the credit for Gen 3 and 4 than that he's telling the truth. Doesn't want to admit that much of what he was working with already existed.
No, they were TOTALLY original. Fuck off Masuda and anyone believing a word out of his mouth at this point.
