>>45589691>i.e. Kanto would be in the game?No, because 90% of Kanto wouldn't be in the game, saving them a huge amount of effort and a huge ammount of memory.
But what am I trying to do arguing with someone disingenuous enough to argue that one city, one route and one entire region are basically the same thing and thus Iwata's compression tool didn't save anything?
Nevermind that Viridian City, Pewter City, Cerulean City, Vermillion City, Lavender Town, Celadon City, Saffron City, Cinnabar Island, over 30 routes, 7 gyms, Mt Moon and Rock Tunnel being gone, those are just tiny details that don't matter at all and don't mean anything.
