Talk:Flabébé (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Normally, that would be chalked up to mere coincidence, but there's one very interesting fact about that game that just changes everything. Before Game Freak made Pokemon, they made a lot of games, including some based on existing properties. Turns out, one of those games just so happens to be the Sega Genesis version of ''Magical Taruruuto-kun'' (keep in mind that Game Freak only developed the Sega Genesis version. Any other games for other consoles that share a similar name, including the Game Boy, Game Gear, Famicom, Super Famicom, etc. versions, were outsourced to different companies). The end credits of the game show that several soon-to-be regular Pokemon staff members, [http://i.imgur.com/4kcuxJf.png including Pokemon designer Ken Sugimori], lent a hand in the development of ''Magical Taruruuto-kun''. Perhaps Sugimori designed Flabebe after his previous experiences in the video game industry, only changed it up a bit to avoid lawsuits from Sega, Tatsuya Egawa, Shueisha or Toei Animation? It's definitely not the only time that a Pokemon was inspired by a previous non-Pokemon Game Freak video game, as some inspirations for Pokemon designs can be found in Smart Ball and Pulseman also, though that is a different story. --[[User:Fergzilla|Fergzilla]] ([[User talk:Fergzilla|talk]]) 00:04, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
