For real though, why was it there
>>746076059it's pretty baffling, considering how completely spartan the world graphics are
>>746076137>spartanEven modern pokemon games rarely feature ground vehicles. Scarlet and Violet had some trucks on farm land but otherwise nothing else had wheels.
That's where Mew lives, genius
>>746076059They probably didn't know how much of the area the player was going to be able to see/explore when they were first designing it so they started adding a bit of set dressing that wasn't ultimately needed
>>746076059I thought the Gen 1 games were notoriously memory constrained. How'd they justify using 2 unique sprites which weren't used anywhere else and had no purpose?
>>746076831Nah it's a graphic from a town they removed that was apparently south of celadon. They just didn't remove the truck sprite and decided to put it somewhere out of bounds as an easter egg. They should have put it in more strange locations. I wonder what sort of rumors that would have created.
>>746076059https://youtu.be/FaMOQatPlVYIt does something in FRLG
>>746076953Low level computer science works in multiples of two. I don't remember exactly how gen1 pokemon stores visual data but in likelihood they had some "filler" space in an array of 64 or 128.And if the truck data had already been baked in earlier and left unused, including it would be as simple as including the reference numbers in the block data.
>>746077478That's exactly how the MissingNo. and the eventual, actual Mew non-glitch glitch encounter worked.
>>746077640I know how the mew glitch works, but I just find it hilarious that it's impossible to give your character a name that makes it possible to spawn Mew
>>746076059we actually have an answer thanks to the pokeleaksbasically there used to be a town south of vermilion city that had that truck sprite. But they eventually cut that city, and probably just replaced it with the SS Anne map. As to why they didn't remove the truck sprite, who knows
>>746077890The spriter was really proud of it and asked team to keep it. Is my guess
>>746076953>2that's 8 8x8 patterns, buckothey are also displayed using a "background", in this case, which covers the whole screenin contrast, the player is displayed with 4 8x8 "objects" flying in formation to combine into what most people would call a sprite
>>746076953There was enough memory left to sneak in Mew I don't think a truck sprite would take up as much
>>746077948It IS a fine looking truck
>>746078637they didn't sneak in mew. he was added at the last second, but he was intentionally added to be distributed via events, which is what ended up happening
>>746078707That just another internet rumor then?
>>746079025>>746078707eh, there's truth to both. truth is, they removed the debugging program before the game shipped, and shigeki morimoto put on his grinch hat and snuck mew in, in place of the debug code. this small act alone may well have been the sole factor in making pokemon what it is today
>>746079295How much of actual Japanese success is from a disobedient seething jap going against the grain and not doing what hes told to do in spite of their extremely ordered society?
>>746076059Leftover data from an earlier build, the Pokemon world was darker and more realistic during the first drafts, people kept their mons in cages and fought alongside them (why some trainers have weapons with them).
>>746079425well it sure ain't from nonnerss moving there. you know, like what you think you're entitled to
>>746079574I wouldn't live over there for a million fucking dollars, tranny
>>746079425I know that island from Wind Waker where you use the Deku Leaf to shoot Deku Nuts into golf holes was created because some seething dev worked overnight at the company to create it after they turned down his idea for an island with a golf minigame.
