Given the meme about it being shaped like a Game Boy cartridge turned out to be made-up, what was it a reference to then?
>>59086779Is it really made up?
>>59086789That bit was just randomly inserted into Bulbapedia like a decade ago and then repeated as fact until someone realized that it doesn't make sense: Game Boy cartridges are taller than they are wide.
>>59086807Maybe they meant a GBA cartridge?
>>59086779The trees look like a guy flexing his muscles. I can't be the only one who sees it.
>>59087042I see it now and can't unsee it.
>>59087042>I can't be the only one who sees it.Obviously not, it was a popular 9gag meme.

>>59086934The claim was specifically that it represented a GB cartridge and that the reason you could find a shitton of bugs in there was inside joke by the developers. I guess the joke could still work-ish if it was a GBA cartridge instead, but idk if the GBA games were as infamous for their bugs
>>59088263It looks like a GBA cartridge, never seen it mentioned as a GB cartridge.
>>59086779I'd bet actual money that Ohmori just made a grass square and drew random lines in the map editor.
>>59086779Looks like it could be Japanese letters.
>>59089486I don't see how.
>>59087042
>>59088263>english language punIt was obviously bullshit
>>59090311バグ is used in the same way in Japanese, and the meaning of the loanword isn't lost in translation. Y2K bugs were this big global pop cultural icon just a few years before FRLG entered development.
>>59090327バグ doesn't mean insect
>>59090350NTA but he meant its reference to “computer bugs” isn’t lost. Only difference is that it doesn’t also mean actual insect like bug does
>>59090356Exactly so like I said>english language pun
Maybe it's a generic circuit board and doesn't have a direct reference.
>>59086807>Game Boy cartridges are taller than they are wide.that doesn’t necessarily mean anything maybe the developers stretched it by one axis>>59090327“bagu” and “mushi” are not correlated in the japanese language
