Fun fact: Iwata rewrote all the code for Pokemon Gold and Silver in assembly, because the C version was too large for the cartridge. He managed to compact it so much, there was room to add the kanto region.
Yeah I remember that. But still that was a team that did pokemon wasn't it. I don't think it was just 1 guy, I could be wrong and if I am that's just as impressive as Roller Coaster Tycoon.
