There are a lot of things from the beta I wish were kept, but this is one I'm glad they managed to change.

Completing Johto, then going back to basically the full place from Red/Blue was an amazing feeling. Imagine being promised Kanto all game only to have this mess of a squashed Kanto at the end.

God bless Iwata with his 1337 coding skillz fitting Kanto in.

The idolization of Iwata is weird. The dude was the CEO of Nintendo, and CEOs do what they do – the interview where he laughs with Sakurai about bullying the guy into making Brawl is pretty fucking telling.

Insofar as what Iwata did for Pokemon GS, I think it's a bit of an exaggeration – he's not the one who went ahead and coded Kanto into the game himself, he fixed some stupid compression routine GF had written up, and this gave them back a ton of extra space.

The spaceworld demo data was too idiosyncratic to go back to (and since most of it was incorporated into the second draft of the Johto region, would've been redundant to program in) and they likely hadn't enough time to draft up entirely new areas, so they went with existing resources and put Kanto in.

Crediting it to your CEO is polite corporate appeasement, but it's an exaggeration.

It is true.

Exaggerated, and all he did was implement a compression method that already existed in other formats.

But the reason Kanto was that tiny thing in the beta is because it's all they could fit until they used better compression.

That town's geography doesn't even make sense as a mini Kanto.

The bay where Vermillion is located is gone, and so is the cycling road as a result.
There's nothing, not even a tiny row of trees, indicating Viridian forest is there.
All the mountainous regions are gone, except for that slab that I assume is meant to be Mt. Moon. The rocky region where the rock tunnel and the factory were is gone. Even Lavender town is gone, aside from the tower that's far too north, closer to Cerulean city.
Speaking of which, Cerulean and its surrounding landmarks are completely gone.
The entire fucking west coast is gone.
If it wasn't for Pallet Town on the bottom left, I never would have recognized it as Kanto.

I'm fairly certain some /vp/ anon could make a far better mini-Kanto than this.

No, the reason it's that tiny in the beta is because they planned the entire region map differently to represent all of Japan. Scaling Kanto be way larger than every other area makes no sense.

Even if he only made a smaller contribution than we thought, I wish CEOs in the west were like this more often. There is no need to exaggerate what he did, but it was still something I would never expect from an actual CEO

Quoted By:

The Spaceworld map is supposed to represent the entire country of Japan, every "city" there is equivalent to one "region." The gyms are replaced with League buildings for this reason. When they decided to focus the map on the irl Kansai (Johto) region instead of the whole country, its neighboring Kanto region became fullsized again. It's just a matter of relative scale.

If kanto was planned to be to small to have wild Pokemon, meaning every Pokemon is obtainable in Johto, does that mean Johto would have more identity?

they don't have to be on the first route, but they should obtainable sometime before the elite 4. Houndour could have easily been in the burned tower. Larvitar could have been in in Union cave.

No one ever said that he coded Kanto in there himself, not even the OP said that.

It's not an exaggeration, Kanto in its full glory fit in the game solely because of Iwata's effort in compressing the game.

Why do people have to try so hard to undermine literally everything so hard all the time on here? For literally everything you say, there's always some ACKUALLY faggot lying in wait. Seriously how salty do you have to get that someone is getting praise for something, I know it's not like he took credit for your compression work.

No. The games were intended to be sequels to gen 1 first and foremost, and that was even more true during that stage of development. I wanna say at least half of the dex was pre-evos and evos for gen 1 mons.

Basically, imagine Kanto, but bigger.

The worst thing about this is that it really limited your Fire Pokemon options for the first part of the game, you either got Cyndaquil, Growlithe, Entei, Ho-Oh depending of the version or got luck with a Fire Stone or Magby or you were fucked until Kanto since Slugma and Houndour are only available until you get to there and the same goes for the rest of Gen 1 fire Pokemon

Iwata made compression tools because of the English text of the game. English text takes up more space than Japanese text because it requires more characters to portray the same sentences, and evidenced by the fact that English Red/Blue are double the file size of Japanese Red/Green. Masuda also explictly said Iwata only worked on the localized GS when Game Informer went to their office.

How this got construed into "IWATA PUT IN ALL OF KANTOOOOOO" by the retarded fanbase and Iwata dick suckers I'll never know. Kanto was always going to be in the game regardless.

>>37363569
That's not an official source. That's just someone else parroting retarded shit they read on the internet.

>>37363581
Except it's not confirmed true anywhere. Find a single official source that says Iwata is responsible for putting Kanto in the game.

As I understand it Iwata created the compression tools for the localization of Red and Blue, which Gamefreak then used to fit more into the Gen 2 games. It's also probably that the popularity of the anime in the west told Gamefreak that more games would probably be in demand after Gold and SIlver, so they decided that using all of Japan in one game was a bad idea and essentially restarted the game from scratch, resulting in a huge delay and us ending up with the Gold and Silver we have today.
