* DevelopmentHell: Working on Generation I was a cakewalk compared to Generation II.
** For starters, ''Gold and Silver'' were originally developed as Game Boy games, with UsefulNotes/SuperGameBoy compatibility and a set release date of "late 1997." Enough of the game was completed for a demo at Spaceworld 1997, and from hacking the leaked ROM of the demo, one can observe how much of a mess things were in this state. Hardly any of the gym leaders were programmed into the game, the Kanto region had been heavily distilled into a single map, and many other features were not anywhere close to completion. This, combined with the impending release of the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor in 1998, forced Game Freak to delay the games to June 1999, something they didn't announce until March 1998, three months after the original release year lapsed.
** Despite this, Game Freak still faced massive difficulties with getting the game properly programmed, due to them having a lot of ideas that they didn't really know what to do with, and due to them having to reprogram much of the graphics to be compatible with the Game Boy Color in addition to the Super Game Boy, with both of these factors pushing the release date further back to November 1999. Even then, the game was in such a sloppy state that it seemed unlikely that it could be released at all; only half the game was finished yet it was close to maxing out the available cartridge space. Enter [[SugarWiki/GeniusProgramming genius programmer]] Creator/SatoruIwata, who stepped in and did a lot of much-needed fat trimming for ''Gold and Silver'', distilling the games' jumbled collection of ideas into a cohesive unit and optimizing and compressing the game data so well that Game Freak were able to add in almost the entirety of Kanto from Generation I. Only after this were Game Freak finally able to release ''Gold and Silver'' on November 21, 1999 in Japan.
** The sheer chaos of the games' development is highly unusual and a much-talked-about subject among analysts, as not only did it mark the only time Game Freak delayed a mainline Pokémon game, but it also marked one of the most dramatic revamps of a Pokémon game from the initial drafts to the final release. The delays in development are also notable in that they forced the staff behind the Pokémon anime to improvise around the games' constantly-shifting release date, creating the Orange Islands arc as {{filler}} to ensure that the show could still keep running during the roughly two-year gap between the intended and actual release dates.

* RecursiveAdaptation: Cinnabar Island has been, from the start, said to be a volcano, but no such volcano is visible in the original games. The anime made the volcano very visible, and even had the city's Gym situated inside it. Come Pokémon Gold and Silver, where that volcano erupted and destroyed the city during the Time Skip, and the eruption is very clearly shown to have originated from the point where the Gym once stood. A case of video game → anime → video game.

** Despite this, Game Freak still faced massive difficulties with getting the game properly programmed, due to them having a lot of ideas that they didn't really know what to do with, and due to them having to reprogram much of the graphics to be compatible with the Game Boy Color in addition to the Super Game Boy, with both of these factors pushing the release date further back to November 1999. Even then, the game was in such a sloppy state that it seemed unlikely that it could be released at all; only half the game was finished yet it was close to making out the available cartridge space. Enter [[SugarWiki/GeniusProgramming genius programmer]] Creator/SatoruIwata, who stepped in and did a lot of much-needed fat trimming for ''Gold and Silver'', distilling the games' jumbled collection of ideas into a cohesive unit and optimizing and compressing the game data so well that Game Freak were able to add in almost the entirety of Kanto from Generation I. Only after this were Game Freak finally able to release ''Gold and Silver'' on November 21, 1999 in Japan.
