* A leaf is a symbol of peace, while fire and water are opposing concepts and thus would seem more like a conflict. A leaf is also an easier concept to grasp and translate into other languages, and in this world of conflicts, the creators wanted to give a name suggestive of a peaceful world. | * A leaf is a symbol of peace, while fire and water are opposing concepts and thus would seem more like a conflict.

* The developers also wanted a colorful drawing of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} family member on the boxart. Masuda explains that, as with [[legendary Pokémon]], creating a title for each Pokémon game that can be used and easily understood in all countries is not an easy task. | * The developers also wanted a colorful drawing of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} family member on the boxart.

Pre-release media also provides a glimpse of tweaks made during development. The screenshot above shows early sprites for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}} in FireRed and LeafGreen as well as an in-battle HUD with some changes from the one in Ruby and Sapphire, such as a thicker {{stat|HP}} bar and lack of colon for the Pokémon's [[level]] indicator, which in the final version does not have a space between "Lv." and the number. | |||
[[File:Oak intro FRLG.jpg|thumb|Oak had a different New Game tutorial sprite]] | |||
A different sprite for [[Professor Oak]] that would have been used in the New Game tutorial was seen in a Japanese commercial. This commercial also shows the color-based text distinction for male and female [[NPC]]s that the localizations would adopt, which was not used in the Japanese versions (instead, they use two fonts to make the distinction). | |||
