*Satoru Iwata worked on the creation of Pokémon graphic compression tools and porting the battle system from Red/Green to Stadium; adjusting some mechanics and fixing various glitches (see also [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/roa-resources.3659267/ Kamex's old RBYStuff guide] about battle mechanics and Stadium) .<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon/0/2 Iwata Asks]</ref>
*Pokémon was inspired by a number of things Satoshi Tajiri and Game Freak were interested in; such as Satoshi Tajiri's fascination of collecting bugs (later cameoing as a Bug-Catcher in the Battle Tower of Pokémon Crystal with [https://iimarckus.org/i/tower-references/ other staff references]), Kaijuu from franchises like Ultraman and the Capsule Monsters within Ultraman (in fact the original concept of Pokémon was Capsule Monsters).
*Many elements were changed since the beginning such as the player being able to fight themselves (with the Trainer sprites with whips believed to be an early remnant of this), the inclusion of exclamations from the battle participants, less of a focus on Pokémon being more like dinosaurs/large monsters, and the Pokédex quest.
**It can be inferred from this the Pokédex order may not have existed; only the very different index number ordering of 190 entries (39 not appearing as Pokémon in the final game but rather [[MissingNo.]]), with Rhydon the first entry matching an account the first three Pokémon added into the game. ("Sugimori: The first Pokémon were Rhydon, Clefairy, and Lapras") (source: Glitterberri's translations of a web interview)
