>>53274972>The programmer in charge of the battle code for Gen 1 lost track of how long it took him to make it.You're leaving out some info.
The idiots at GF never created any documentation for the battle system in Gen 1 during development, so obviously when it came to porting it to Stadium they were fucked. Luckily, Iwata saved their ass by studying the source code for RGBY and recreating and porting the entire battle system by himself in 1 week.
The other time he saved GF from their own incompetency was by creating his own compression tools for them to use to fit more data in the GS cartridges, which they used to add Kanto to the games.
GF would be nothing without this man.
