* In [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|early versions]] of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the wild encounter rate was so high that players would encounter wild Pokémon every two steps. Combined with the fact that Trainers would battle the player every time the player walked past them regardless of whether they had already been defeated, it would take players half a day to get through a single cave. Game Freak adjusted the wild encounter rate and changed Trainer battles for a more reasonable experience before the game was released.<ref>[[Shōko Nakagawa: Pokémon Taught Me The Meaning of Life]] (p155) via [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/nakagawa_shouko_pokemon_meaning_life.html Dogasu's Backpack]</ref>
