I still hope Sega will get their second wind someday, they really gotta get out of their mind set that just because they only make video games now doesn't make them any less as a major video game corporation. They still show promise with Sonic Mania, Yakuza, Puyo-Puyo, Monkey Ball and a few other games and I believe PSO2 will help garner the funding and attention they need (even though western fans have been playing a cracked, translated version for years) and while I dunno if Shenmue III still counts as a Sega game, people still regard Ryo Hazuki a Sega All-Star so... nostalgia I guess?

One thing I always wonder about in-game Pokémon lore was that, back then in Gen 1 era, were the people of Kanto region were fully aware of other regions and their pokémon? After all Johto neigboured Kanto and completing the Johto League allowed you to visit the Kanto Region with both old and new pokémon to collect. Or when you played a brand new Pokémon game, the new pokémon are regarded "recently discovered" even if the region lore state they're native and common pokémon?

Also, given some evolutions were added in later games, such as new first and third-state evolutions, it makes me wonder how Kanto pokémon breeders did not know the existance of Pichu and other baby pokémon all this time.
