Did Game Freak make the right call in postponing Gold and Silver?

Did Game Freak make the right call in postponing Gold and Silver?

Yes. Gold & Silver turned out to be near-flawless games, and set the standard for sequels not only for Pokémon, but for all of gaming.

Objectively speaking, Gen 2 still remains the peak of Pokémon, and nothing has, or ever will, come close to topping it.

I was under the impression development was slow and they didn't have much of a choice?

Yes, although bear in mind that full Kanto was not added because of Iwata as that's just a misconception of what Morimoto stated in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

It was a terrible mistake. We lost too many kino designs

Overall, what we got was better though. Sure, the beta has some nice designs that would've been nice to see in the final cut, but it was mostly trash.

Those are horrible.

Only good designs here are:
Tangrowth
Anchor shark
Dark cat
Electric tiger
Madame
Panda
Plux
Yeti

>bayleef’s Chernobyl form
>Fire pikachu and discount Arcanine instead of the Cyndaquil family
>water blob and discount Lapras instead of the Totodile family
>tumor head Blissey
>literally my mom’s sunflower
>recolored dogs instead of majestic beasts for legends
>even more pointless babies to already weak Pokémon (for fuck sake, was Johto intended to be Kanto’s nursery or something, so glad they were removed)


I do like how scizor looks like an evolution of Scyther, but the Scizor we got is too good. And the beta Girafarig having a proper second head is cool but It guess the devs thought it looked too awkward moving.
We were robbed of Fire Seal, ghost panda and the furry ice one
But overall I’m happy with what we got. .
