>>35847321It's incredible how full of misinformation this article is. I know that CoroCoro back then had almost exclusively children subscribers but I'm sure there was still a significant amount of teens and adults. Did nobody complain? I'm sure there must have been backlash back then.
After reading about the NPC "Blue", the placeholder sprites being in the Kanto gym, and accidentally misreading the chart and interpreting it as Misty becoming an Elite Four member, I designed a water gym leader Blue combining Misty's design and RGB Blue.
