>Iwata: A long time ago, when we were taking the "Pokémon" game overseas, I was still working at HAL Laboratory before I came to Nintendo. I was watching the process, so I felt that at the time too, that the first reaction to something that's not easily accepted by them is "I wonder how well this will sell."
>I still remember it very vividly, when they saw Pokémon and said, "Something this cute can't be called a 'monster'. Monsters should be muscular and more fearsome", and they sent me a picture of a muscular Pikachu. I remember thinking, "There's no way we can show this to the people who made Pokémon." I remember this like it was yesterday, even though about 10 years have passed since then.
We were robbed of muscle Pikachu.
