A new interview about Pokemon Red and Blue has popped up in the latest issue of Retro Gamer. Within the piece, Game Freak producer Junichi Masuda reveals some interesting tidbits regarding the Game Boy classics. “From the inception of the idea to the completion of Red & Blue took a total of about six years, so a long time,” Masuda said. “We started by creating loads of different Pokemon designs, then we reduced that down to the favorite 150. That took a lot of effort. After that, once we were happy with our designs, we started working on the moves they could each use. This process probably accounted for around three of those six years. It was quite the task! There wasn’t an initial plan of which Pokémon would get which moves – we designed the Pokémon then designed the moves, then decided which would fit well together as a gradual process.”

6 years is amazing for the first Pokémon games and now with 3D in the mix. Pokémon has gotta better at it in time. :3

Yeah! Can’t wait to see how Pokemon looks on Nintendo Switch :3 I personally thought Pokémon Battle Revolution looked really good on Wii, but not everyone was a fan of that game XD

That’s true
I think a remake of Pokemon Stadium or a sequel would be awesome.
