>>27233926>>27233996>My guess it was originally empty without a route, but they filled it in with a route & trainers at the last second to give more experience to the player and to make the region less empty.Yeah, it looks like they just added it near the end because all the old art just has a long bridge over it.

>>27233145>>27248546>People have asked this question before right? Are there any speculations or documentation to look up?Not really. People have noticed that there's 9 unused gym badge items in the inventory and there was a town cut under Celadon though.
There's also extra unused trainers, an unused mart, and some other shit that's not connected to anything. The Safari Zone also had some cut content and was originally gonna have you fight Silph employees in the rest areas.
>other ramblings about KantoOne that's bugged me is the town color/badge naming disparities between the English and Japanese versions (Palette Town, Celadon City, Indigo Plateau) and how the SGB town palettes follow the English names.
Also, I find it really weird how the highest numbered routes are above Cerulean City. I wonder if it was one of the last places to be designed.
