It was also the interview that recorded the Universal Studios x Nintendo fiasco, where Dr. Kirby had to save the Mario and Donkey Kong property.
On Junichi Masuda and the development of Pokémon Red / Green (RB in the west):
>"The year was 1993. Or was it '90? (laughs) Can't remember, back then I'd do anti-psychotics and coke like the plant was going extinct. Ishihara and I were in our apartment, which doubled-down as a GameFreak's studio because the crisis had hit us harder than my dad. Anyways, it was some former porn studio that had been busted over producing kiddy shit, so the owner had rented it to us. (laughs) Fuck, can't remember anything. There... (long pause) There was this morning, though, when I met Iwata and Tajiri. One was some suit engineer from a children's game, and the other was a nerd from Tokyo Uni who wanted to make a game about collecting bugs and dying as a virgin. 'Pokéman', how I called it. Anyways, Ishihara and I were high as fuck on dev money, waiting for the escort we had phoned early in the morning to arrive. Life was good.>"Then knocks on the door this motherfucker and the pansy Tajiri boy. Ishihara thinks it's the hooker (we'll call her Pikachu, which eventually we named the ugly yellow rat to show Nintendo we can), so he goes all happy to open it, only to get shouted at by Iwata, who proceeds to invade the apartment, drag open the windows and turn my coke table over. Berrates me because he needed a demo by the end of the week, and all we had of Pokéman Greene's code was .txt file named New Document. None of us knew how to code, and we still don't know.>"I just stared at Iwata, relapsing as my patience ran out, my hand reaching under the sofa. Ishihara grew nervous, he knew I hid my grandfather's Nambo pistol there."
