This is what people who think the SpaceWorld '97 Gold/Silver beta was faked actually believe happened>person or group of people get together with the intention of making a fake prototype of Gold and Silver based on the tiny shred of information known about SpaceWorld 1997's demo >none of them say so much as a peep about it at any point including 9 months after the fact >undertake a project that requires an intimate knowledge of Game Boy hardware and programming, one which would most likely take well over a year even with supremely skilled programmers >get or happen to have a designer on the team to create all the fake beta Pokemon >create some designs based on eyewitness testimony of SpaceWorld 1997 and make a ton of original designs as well, carefully change the finalized Gen 2 designs enough to make them 'beta', decide which new Pokemon should and should not be included >make new sprites for old Pokemon including brand new backsprites, but leave a solid half or more as their Blue sprites >recreate the sprite used for Mew in the SW97 Mew distribution cartridge and include it >decide to invent a wholly original Japan-based region, with only a couple of towns resembling final towns, making sure to include specific places seen in era-appropriate magazines >decide to make Kanto one town in the larger Johto and make a strange confusing miniature sized version of the full Kanto map into one area >make new beta-like trainer sprites, overworld sprites, including stuff like a moving Poliwhirl and a guy in a helmet, but don't put the helmeted guy on the actual overworld >write scripts including a script for a short story sequence that isn't accessible in the demo but would have taken place in the same city >decide that the original role for many of the Gen 1 characters would have been much different and do stuff like include Giovanni in the Radio Tower

Yup. They're fake. Sorry betatard.

Who honestly cares if it's fake or not. While it's interesting, us knowing all this stuff isn't going to change anything or add any lore

>>37633116 Epic troll here my dude! Hey, do you mind if I post this on Reddit? I'm sure I'll get a ton of karma showing off this incredible trolling job! That is, unless you were planning to post it yourself, which is fine to me! Don't want to step on your karma toes, so to speak! :) Let me know if I can use it though, I know how to get over a thousand karma from a post like this

>>37633126 While it's not canon, it does shed plenty of light onto the development process of Gen 2 and Game Freak themselves, which is always fun to learn about. The inner workings of game development is often a mystery.

>>37633136 >does shed plenty of light onto the development process of Gen 2 and Game Freak themselves, No, it doesn't. All it does is create retards who grasp at straws and pretend they're smart by jumping to conclusions about meaningless shit they haven't seen before.

i'm just glad this beta came out just in time to kill a lot of hype for let's go. it's quite karmic in that way. at the same time that gf reveals their big casualbait KANTOOO game, cool shit related to when the series was at its best is revealed and completely steals the spotlight

>>37633142 >pretend they’re smart The only people who get triggered when someone “thinks/pretends they’re smart” are people who are always wrong. It’s like when flat-earthers have a fit because someone else “thinks they know everything”, they are mad at themselves for having a learning disability throughout their lives. Stupid lyin’-ass scientists! They think they’re so smart.

>>37633198 Nice projection. Go back to pretending you know anything about game development just because you saw a garbage prototype.

>>37633079 >Why would people on the internet lie??????? Also it's easy to make a romhack, and in fact Pokémon Stadium recognizes it as pokémon gold even though it shouldn't. To not talk about the Lyra thing that happened.

>>37633273 Having been in that Pokemon stadium (Kin gin, to be clear) thread at the time from memory that was remarkable because it had a close enough header to gold despite it being built more off gen 1 stuff than anything else. It was never used as evidence to disprove the leak, it made it seem more legitimate. Spaceworld gold is just a weird halfway point between gen 1 and 2.

>>37633079 forgot to say that the japanese ultra hacker(s) disassembled the japanese games and put bits of code of said versions not in the open just to make it seem slightly more real.
SW97 beta denialfags are just shitposters.
