>>37620010Yeah, I’m finding it really difficult to imagine a scenario in which this is real. For it to be true, someone has to possess the following:
At least three early Red/Green ROMs
An early Blue ROM
An early Yellow ROM, or information directly from the developers as to what the unused song was for.
Additionally, the supposed donor is clearly not Japanese, raising serious questions as to how they managed to obtain multiple prototypes that were never even shown off to the public, and should logically have never left GAME FREAK’s offices.
The amount of technical knowledge they supposedly possess also makes little sense. They were apparently able to rip some assets and data from the ROMs, but not all of it? It’s quite strange how they were apparently incapable of ripping all the sprites and text, but were able to rip the more complex map data just fine.
One explanation for this would be that the donor only had the data they sent you and not the ROMs themselves, but that just raises further questions, and IMO is even harder to believe.
If this really is a hoax, there is really only one group of people outside of GAME FREAK themselves who knew enough about the development of Red and Green to pull it off.
